This topic was discussed yesterday during a Christmas party. Several Naija guys said that Naija girls have zero networking skills and are extremely unlikely to talk to a guy unless that guy was introduced to them by a friend. One guy said he met he approached his current girlfriend but she refused to give him her number. However, when the girlfriend's friend introduced him to her, she quickly gave him her number. This is insanity.

Several guys also said that you have to be a member of a clique before you have a shot at developing a friendship with a Naija girl, and that the same girl who rebuffs you if you independently meet her would date you if you were introduced to her through a friend.

Another guy said that he attended a networking function in Washington, DC, and to his dismay, Naija girls would not even network with him if he was not introduced to them by someone who knows the girls. This is appalling because a networking function is supposed to a place in which new people meet each other.

Are Naija girls this socially dysfunctional? If someone you like approaches you, or if a business prospect of the opposite sex approaches you in a networking function, why do you have to wait for your friend to validate that person before you get to meet them? If you go to a networking reception, why can't Naija girls independently meet new people without assistance? Is this a cultural thing? Can a Naija girl explain this incomprehensible act?

The validation is always important because at least if anything goes wrong, you know who to report to,

from what you are saying, if there is no validation you will not meet any new guy. Na waa ooooo.

@ OP

I disagree with you . . .  So long as you are a handsome dude like me who exudes lots of swagger , you can easily be friends with Nigerian girls without going through their friends.

OP I guess what you are talking about only happens abroad,definitely NOT in the nigeria I live,duh!

False tale.

Yeah op it happens in some cases,but definately not most.

Depends on the kind of girl, most Nigerian girls are more open to extroverts, hence you don't have to be Ǟ friend to Ǟ friend to date Ǟ girl. Could be that you met her in Ǟ restaurant and struck up Ǟ good conversation, lots ☺₣ guys though tend to say some silly things, that's how you put em off.

Well i dont talk to ppl if dey dnt to me cos am scared n shy of startin a conversatn.
It all boils down to d type n personalities u get involved wit or come across

^^ same as me, if we have norhing in coMmon, i have nothing to discuss with you, simple
