Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by redsun(m): 9:39pm On Apr 27, 2011
Why are alcohol and cigarette not part of the vices of nigerian women?Unlike other women in the other parts of the world,even closer home,southern africa where drinking and smoking among women is just as normal and outrageous as of men.

I am sure the reason why we have less disable birth in nigeria even with the porous pregnancy and maternity care is because on relative terms,women don't expose their unborn babies to the dangers of alcohol and cigarette.

Nigerian children are always very healthy at birth even with the poverty and hopelessness.It is only when they are born that they are expose to man made(establishment)dangers that kills most them at high rates,infant mortality.

@poster

generalising statement oh

some nigerian women drink and some nigerian women smoke
some nigerian women drink and smoke
while some nigerian women do neither

depends on what catches one's fancy
my take
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by BloodShed1: 9:48pm On Apr 27, 2011
I don't know ANY Nigerian woman anywhere, be it in Nigeria, here (UK) or in America that smokes or drinks.

And that's probably the only good thing I see in Nigerian women generally.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by redsun(m): 10:00pm On Apr 27, 2011
It is not part of nigerian women social agenda to drink and smoke,unlike what you have here in england,even among southern african women here,alcohol and smoking are things they look forward to.

Does not drinking make nigerian women less romantic,adventurous and wild?Because alcohol can change moods and make women go wild sometimes.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by BloodShed1: 10:02pm On Apr 27, 2011
You like women that smoke

That's the most unattractive thing a woman can do. smoking is just, URGH,

Me I drink o cheesy--- I mean I don't get drunk, but I love drinks (NUVO kiss)! I don't do shots and all. That one pass my power.

oK so, Nigerian women (in general) don't drink and smoke because, most of "us" weren't brought that way.

In Nigerian culture (in general), we find drinking and smoking repulsive, in relative to the western culture!
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by Phate07(m): 10:14pm On Apr 27, 2011

Nigerian girls DO smoke and drink. Fact!
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by BloodShed1: 10:18pm On Apr 27, 2011
I've never seen Nigerian girls smoke in person, only in movies/tv.

Smoking is freaking nasty though, I don't see why anybody does it at all. As for drinking, yeah, but I've never seen a Nigerian woman just go all out like some of the women over here.

I mean, there are enough things wrong with most of them already HAHAHAHA!!

Thet don't, those that do are less than 1%. In the U.K, the few Nigerians that are involved in this shameful attitude are the U.K born Nigerians.
In Nigeria, most who smoke are found in the hotels and clubs.

^^ Hehe, where else do people go to smoke and drink? ==> clubs, bars. .

@topic, umm I've seen grown women, mothers too back home who drink, mostly beer though. Smoking. . .maybe not.
Over here, anyone who parties(a lot) drinks. FACT. grin So, you'd have to go to such settings - parties, clubs, etc to see. But I'd say naija girls don't get piss-drunk as is the norm here, probably the culture thing. Some are just careful 'cause word gets around esp. in places with a high concentration of Nigerians.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by tpia5: 11:44pm On Apr 27, 2011
Lets get a few things straight here.

Poster, the fact that somewhere along the line, you popped out of a nigerian woman's lower end, doesnt give you the right to open your sh1tty mouth anyhow and start saying "nigerian women".

Ok?

Face your blasted front and ignoble future and consider your lineage cut off from anything to do with nigerian women, kapish?

No be america you dey? Consider yourself a black american and do not let your frigging balls ever jump in your mouth to say "nigerian women".

are u for real?? first off nigeria has one of the highest death rate among children under 5 in the world, more women statistically die in childbirth than anywhere else in the world apart from India. Disabled children ummmmmmmmm that could be cos they are dumped in orphanages and shunned by family members - don't get it twisted abeg.

Nigerian women drink, i have seen many nigerian women (born and bred in naija) drinking.

Even in clubs and bars I've been to, I've never seen a Nigerian girl smoke, not once. I did take that into consideration you know, so don't insult me, please. Of course people drink at bars and clubs but I've never seen a Naija woman get absolutely wasted drunk before.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by bokohalal(m): 1:27am On Apr 28, 2011
Northern Nigerian women smoke more than the women down south.The reverse is the case for drinking alcohol.

Yep, she smokes with every orifice she's got.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by nanidee(f): 2:50am On Apr 29, 2011
@ OP, your generalization is not correct.

You may be right to say most Nigerian women you have come across neither drink nor smoke, but to generalise this is going a bit too far, because the truth is that there exist a fair number of Nigerian women who drink and smoke.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by redsun(m): 11:15pm On Apr 29, 2011
Of course i am not generalizing.I mean on average,on relative terms with what you have in a fast pace society like britain,women have gone crazy.

Alcohol consumption and smoking among women in britain are just as bad they are in men,they are health hazards,killing many people annually and costing the health service and the system in general billions of pounds annually.

I can't think any of my female relatives that drinks and i have so many of them,for real.

lol

People are fighting stereotypes just for the sake of fighting a stereotype, even when the stereotype is positive.


I guess that might be a good thing. Generalizations should usually be avoided.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by tpia5: 12:41am On Apr 30, 2011
I believe what people are fighting is this drug addicted demon of a poster, not necessarily any sh1t he types.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by redsun(m): 12:51am On Apr 30, 2011
tpia,you are way deep in dark to accept the facts of life,a true reflectiion of nigeria itself,living in denial for the sake of the fear of truth and analysis.

@Poster,
Have you ever lived in Northern Nigeria,where lots of Women smoke cigarettes openly.
Down South Women consume a lot of alcohol openly.
For you to say you have NEVER seen a Nigerian girl/woman that smokes makes me conclude you are a wind up merchant.
Good day.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Women Drink And Smoke? by kieryn(f): 4:32am On May 02, 2011
