I think the bosy odor issue has to do with the fact the guys work and sweat a lot, but dont use any form of deodorants or ever bother to shower after the days activities. But with all naija men, thats a big fat lie. my ex then smelled so good i couldnt wait to wear his shirt or percieve his scent, and he was nigerian.

Are you for real? You perceive odours with your nose, so even if your eyes are closed in prayer, your nose still works. Some body odour can be strong enough to wake you up in the midst of an erot!c dream!

As for the "bad comments about our country", pull the other one. Just because we're Nigerian, doesn't make us immune to certain issues, both positive and / or negative. The fact is, some Nigerian guys do reek, the only thing I can't put a figure on is the percentage.

I think it depends on one's body physiognomy, some people's own comes out natural while other's comes out as a result of inadequate shower of the sensitive parts of the body.

Ive been having a swell time reading this thread. Men you gats to love nlers. You guys are totally awesome.

Mamagee, I wont raise a settled dust, but I must say that when you whip up storms, you should have the balls (never mind that you are female) to ride it out. You were silent and rude for a vast majority of the thread despite the fact that you started it.

On the issue raised, it is totally baseless to conclude that most men have bad body odour. It simply is untrue. Im sure your American or British dudes or wherever it is you hang out also stink as hell. You just dont know probably because you adore them or are probably shaggin em or you consider them higher than your own kinsmen. You seem to forget that the feminine species are even more at a default in this area. Going by the contents of this thread I know I have witnesses in this house.

You see the thing you fail to realise is that odours come through to each indiividual in different ways. What you might call bad may be something to be longed for to someone else. Its not just goats that attract the female species with thier odour, some humans also do same.

Bad body odour in males have been linked to gnorrhoea and others STDs.
Re: Why Do Most Nigerian Men Have Bad Body Odour? by EfemenaXY: 6:41pm On Feb 05, 2012
^^ Seriously??

Is that medically proven or just an opinion? Can't say I've heard that one before. . . undecided

Anyway, I think frequent washes and a good soap should do the trick (plus the use of perspirants in hot conditions/climates)
Re: Why Do Most Nigerian Men Have Bad Body Odour? by samchide(m): 3:09am On Feb 11, 2012
