Nigerian R&B singer Simi shared her view about Nigerian guys. The singer who was interview by Nonye Ben-Nwankwo and Ademola Olonilua of Punchng, she said: “I don’t believe Nigerian men are romantic. I think Nigerian men do not think they have to be romantic.

I am not saying this to bash men but I think no one pushes Nigerian men to fight for anything so they have this sense of entitlement. I was watching a Nigerian movie one day and there was this unfaithful Nigerian man who left his wife for another woman.

At the end of the day, the other woman left him and he retraced his steps to his initial wife. The lady’s mother actually told her to kneel in front of the man and that bothered me a lot even though I knew it was a movie. That is the way things are.

A lot of men grow up in this country feeling entitled to certain things and they believe that they don’t have to work for anything. This has been the case for generations and a lot of our mothers were unhappy because the society expected them to stay in the relationship.

I am not saying it is the right thing for people to leave their relationships but a man needs to fight for what he wants so he can value it. I think the problem is because a lot of Nigerian men feel self-entitled and I blame our culture and our mothers.

Most mothers are the problem because when something happens, they are quick to advise the daughter and wives, they don’t tell the men that their actions are wrong. So if a man feels that he does not have to fight to keep the relationship, he would not.”

Read the story.

Some points were well taken in, especially the influence of mothers not telling their sons their actions are wrong.

But as regards the romantic thing?this one is a little tricky. In the Nigeria society,there is a thin line between being Romantic,and turning the guy into a house help.

Example: i might want to be romantic with my wife by bringing her breakfast in bed,and some dumb girls will push their luck by telling the man that henceforth he will be the cook in the house.

Example 2: You might want to surprise your wife with romantic dinner somewhere quiet and pricy,and when you get home, there will be WAR because she sighted the amount you paid for the food. And then will go off with how much the money can buy books for the kids.

It is difficult being a romantic in Nigeria period.

Interesting.

Excuses not to be submissive, and don't blame me if i do not get married or i end up becoming a single mother or a divorcee

MAYBE SOMEONE DON BREAK HER HEART TO MAKE HER SAY THAT THOUGH.
