H2O2:

i know that.
i followed suit to reinforce the point that mere dubious and clearly gender-biased statements like yours ( or mine) are only going to fan the flames, not quell it. even you can't deny the hint of sexism in your post.  that's the reason the guys piling on you took offense to your umm long dissertation.


i actually set out to make my post as non-sexist as i could, while staying on the topic of nigerian guys & BO and also being true to my observations. obviously i shouldn't have bothered. btw, i didn't even think your post was gender-biased. i just thought it was odd that you would fault my statement and make a similar one in the same post.

i don't know how possible this is, but i was just thinking that maybe people are more perceptive to the other sex's odour (good or bad). that might explain why many guys here find this topic so offensive. it would certainly explain my observations concerning BO.

Damn, everyone should relax and please let's stop taking it personal. Having body odor is a natural cause, everyone has it and not only with guys but with girls as well, and its not a hygienic issue, but a health problem, however when not controlled, then it goes bad. People have body odor for several reasons and not because that they did not shower nor wash nor their mouth. While I don't have body odor, but a lot of guys have same problems as I do because I wouldn't wanna irritate someone else by my sweat even if its natural for me to sweat. Summer is a wonderful season but really terrible on most guys than girls including me, my perspiration rate is really high coupled with the moist heat at 90something degree, I bet you having a mixture of body odor time bomb. For me every thing I do I sweat, from walking, running eating and it's just so much I literally have to have a washcloth every where I go however I've always corrected it by using a dry antiperspirant deodorant 3/4x daily, obviously I have to clean up affected areas each time I use it, and obviously shower twice daily

Again it all boils down to personal choices if they chose to control it or not. Its the truth but studies have showed that guys are likely more susceptible to it than girls because of the hormonal glands and body system.

my observations too dear.  if you must know, it was that conspicuous 90% remark that elicited my fabricated statistic.  
there is nothing odd about it and allow me to explain why.  when you deliberately make comments that evoke negative energy from members of the opposite sex, of course you should expect equally offensive, disparaging responses in retaliation.

are you mistakening our redolent male pheromones for foul body odours?  grin  grin
and while your inference regarding the cross-consciousness of our perceptions may be true, it's generally human nature to feel slighted and to take offense to unpleasant statements.

There was this Nigerian man I saw in Church when I went back home for Xmas, the guy passed by me in Church and he stunk very bad, Please don't they use deodorants or is it poverty going through?
sweetie not all men smell. your judging all nigerian men because one guy stank? seriously i should think befor you write things that aren't worth being on the net. does your dad, uncle, brothers, cousins smell?
Re: Why Do Most Nigerian Men Have Bad Body Odour? by Ndeewonu: 5:23am On Dec 31, 2009
@ poster

1. It's wrong to generalise after just one man u met in d church; that's nt fair

2. Most men actually use deodos & have their baths at least 2ice daily. I do 3 at times.

4. However, Nigeria is a hot zone, pple also move aabt under d sun, jumping buses dt never stop for passengers to enter; trekking llong distances & hawking wares under hot sun; only to come back & see no light, no water, etc (for the avg Nigerian)

5. Ladies even smell more. And it hurts! After all those secretions left, right & centre. Worst in married ones.

6. By the way, I understand we even bathe more than d oyinbos. Some go without water for days, and dont wash their clothes they ve worn for days; is it true?
Re: Why Do Most Nigerian Men Have Bad Body Odour? by san26dy(f): 5:33am On Dec 31, 2009
@poster, I think is generally because of the weather.  The heat is way too much in Naija.  But I won't say some don't smell. Especially here in the states. I see some married men smell like dead fish.  Please dont swallow me o. I can't even stand close to them.

ahahahahahaha man this was funny. You should buy deodorant and offer them for a late christmans gift. Just pass them out and i guess that will solve the problem

My people dont mind this "mama gee"or anything she called herself, just because her "bed-mate" , sorry "f**K-mate" jilted her, she then decided to visit a church to seduce men, because her "thing " is scratching. The innocent guy she came across in the church is God-fearing, the guy won't fall for her tricks, Now she is diverting her anger on Nigerian men, Can't you see?, this MAMA GEE IS MAD!!!!!

many factors come into play here. it is not a gender thing. factors like-
hygiene habits, genetics, nature of work/work environment, diet, inter alia.
it is just that women SEEM to pay more attention to their bodies than men.

NO PROBLEM. TRUST ME IN OTHER COUNTRIES THEY DONT WEAR DEODORANT AS WELL. SOME PEOPLE WOULD RATHER USE THE MONEY TO BUY FOOD FIRST, B4 CONSIDERING SUAVE ROLL ON DEODORANT
Re: Why Do Most Nigerian Men Have Bad Body Odour? by BOUNTYDOG(m): 10:03am On Dec 31, 2009
@londoner pls no disrespect but i quite disagree with you,People have different natural body smell while some has odour,Depepending on the nationals
since i was a boy i use sure deodorant roll on,though i dont have body odour.
Now i use sure 24 hr Responsive or LYNX spray, (i dont even use a Roll-on anymore for the wet after effect ). for these reason even if i dont use perfumes
my clothes are used to the natural fresh smell and only change wen i use perfumes.this is the same with my brothers and cousins,sometimes sef my house smell janded
@londoner maybe you u like or are used to the smell of other nationals
At least from my observation an average Nigerian man that takes care of himself by bathing 2ce a day and uses anti persirant should smell ok
Except for some who has a thiccckkkk smell gosh u grin u know wat i mean.i asked my mum why she said they were not well bathed as a baby thats why
dunno how far that is true anyway
My little advice is men should never ignore the usage of [b]SURE 24HR Responsive [/b]its worth advertising for
sometins wen i dont use the spray for some days,though i dont have odour my armpits can be wet which might stink if i persist) grin grin grin

Some body odor are genetic

I guess u know

This type of body odor have no cure

While some body odor are as a result of what one eat

In this case the individual have to identify the food causing him to have bad odor and stop eating such food
