Whom would you prefer to marry?
1. A Nigerian raised in a foreign land
2. A Nigerian raised at home
3. A Nigerian who has a mix of both, with:
(a) More of foreign.
(b) More of home.

I don't think marriage has anything to do with where a person live or where he or she was born. I think it has more to do with mutual feelings, character, beliefs and values. Am I missing something here?

Personally, I believe that I am more likely to find a match with a Nigerian who has spent some time abroad, but not so long as to have become an American or European. I imagine that someone who is more exposed would have higher goals in life and would be able to understand and appreciate my goals. I imagine that such a lady would also be more tolerant, having discovered that there is more than one way to live.

So I guess that someone who has spent a few years abroad is more likely to have character, beliefs and values similar to mine. I guess that answers jally's question. However, there are 50 to 80 million women in Nigeria: one should be able to find a match without having to look outside our shores. Someone who is determined to stay in Nigeria as long as it remains peaceful should marry a Nigerian that loves to live in Nigeria.

Nigerian raised at home is the best.

What is good about a Nigerian raised at home? Do corruption, intolerance and lack of exposure make a woman a great wife or something?

Where Are All the Good Nigerian/African Men?

dont give a d**n where she was she was raised....as far as she lives up to my standard of ideal wife

Maybe if the question had been if all the categories meet all my criteria (mutual feelings, character, beliefs and values), assuming it is possible, which one will I prefer? I'll just close my eyes and pick one .

Foreign or Local as long as she's my kind of woman,omo forget the rest na story.Who tell you say Ibadan babe no fit stand out amongst any London or Yankie babes

Yes, but when she opens her mouth and starts to talk, one would realise that she has never ventured out of the kitchen or her husband's bedroom ...

In my opinion, it makes no difference where she's brought up, as long as we share the same views and values. I have met really decent women here in the UK (Yes, even Jamaican girls) while I have met really messed-up home grown babes back in Naija.

That said, I must confess that I tend to be more attracted to babes raised here because we tend to have more in common, in terms of expectations in a relationship and things like that.

Im talking about Decent local babe,educated,pretty and sexy!

Can we use a different word? That word "local" has a different meaning to me. Hahahaha. It reminds me of "omo alata".

Like Seun said, a certain level of exposure is always nice.

Omo alata na person now....if ain't foreign than its local sorry lets not deceive ourselves

I don't care as long as he fits my criteria of an ideal bloke. What does foreign or home based have to do with marriage?

You didn't include "I don't care" or "It doesn't matter" among the options in your poll.
I don't think it's the country where you were raised that matters. It's the home where you were raised. It's the upbringing that matters.

It seems the Nija guys abroad are always looking to come back home to marry the pure proper Nija babes that were raised in Nija.. The girls are also doing the same too.. I've come across so many girls abroad coming home in search of husbands just like the guys do..

IAH:

It's the home where you were raised. It's the upbringing that matters.

WORD

my wife is Nigeria based so no yawaaaa and for sure she go come this end no shaking

I think so too IAH! "it dosen't matter to me/i don't care" should be one of the options in the poll cos that'll definately my answer.

The "I don't care" option has been added to the poll due to popular demand!

Snazzy does not care!!!!I care about the home not country!!!

I can marry both provided we have something in common.
If she suits me and compatible.
Why not!

Is there an option of not marrying Nigerian at all?

Doesnt matter

That last option shouldn't have been added at all. Now everyone will claim it doesn't matter instead of choosing their BEST option. Too bad.

I chose '' I don't care'' cuz i don't really care but if i had to choose without the ''i don't care option'' i would go for the Nigerian raised mostly at home and partially abroad cuz more value is attached to marriage in Nigeria than abroad where d divorce rate is rising daily. But really it's the individual and the home in which he/she was raised that matters more.

That's what I get for listening to "what people want". I'm going to remove that last option so we can start voting properly

Seun...i always luv reading ur comments and luk out for dem.. But im rather shocked at ur reply2 dis post...luk admist all d corruption and all dere are still gud pple raised ere...ild presume u were raised ere...abi? R u not a gud person?
