I think if a woman is avaliable for fun and she is willing most men can be made to cheat depending on what point in life they are at.

Hi, this is a very interesting topic of discussion indeed. Perhaps I should share my experience with all of you.
I am a Thai married to a Yoruba man for 3 years now and we are residing in Melbourne right now. Marriage was never on my mind before as I was too occupied with pursuing my goals. Also I was enjoying the carefree life I was leading and thought that commitment would bore me down. I was skeptical about befriending him especially after listening to all the talks about the imfamous Nigerian men and the scams or affairs they are asscociated with but I guess I am the adventurous sort who prefer to live by experience. Afterall no venture, no gain. Hence we got close and decided to get married. We did the traditional wedding in Nigeria by the way.
Things were definitely hard in the beginning as we had to accommodate each other especially where lifestyle and culture are concerned. An accountant by profession, making money has always been my husband's top priority hence I tend to feel neglected whenever he has to undertake big projects assigned to him. Sometimes as a woman, I do suspect he might be keeping a woman behind my back and most of the times our arguments sparks due to my jealousy but as times go by and as I learn to understand him better, I am able to trust him and curb my jealousy.
I believe every relationship is a gamble regardless of who your partner is. Sex and affairs are happening everywhere in the world and it does not constitute to Nigerian men alone. I guess one has to take extra risk when she decides to have a relationship with someone outside her own race. So long as there is love and trust between both parties, you should be able to go through any obstacle that comes your way.
My advice when dealing with Nigerian men; do not expect public display of affection and TLC (tender, loving, care) when their heads are thinking of making money. On the other hand, when things are well with them, they can be really romantic especially when they are alone with you. If he is really in love with you, he would be very proud to show you off to everybody and listen to what you say, even though they can have their strong opinion on the subject matter.

hello to everybody, it took me long time to read all your messages. i want to say my own opinion and hope u ll understand me. im married with yoruba man , im from russia , im not even african girl. but since we got aquainted and married i feel too happy, i feel my importance, that he loves me and evething, i know his family he knows mine. of course sometimes espcially at the beginning we had some problems. i was jelous and we felt differecne in our culture and mind. but now i realise how many thing he gave me , i became more religious, my character changed to the best way, this person really care about me and i can see it without any flower, he is not feeling shame to show me or something. his family loves me so much, and i can say that if to compair with russian men this nigeiran man, my husband is the best , he my life and my everything. not all r like that. may my russian friends were cheated or hurted by nigerians, but as for me im very lucky and i wish the same to all of u . we r women, we must respect our self, don't waste our self and be proud, well i think i said all what i wanted to say.good lcuk to everybody and God bless

the only point am going to add here will be that nigerian men were the most romantic person on earth,if you can do the following things:
Respect him for being a man, before being your lover. Appreciate whatever he gives to you, even though you expected more. Talk nicely about his sibling and friends, even when his not around. Don't always say no whenever he wants sex, unless you have better excuse than am not in the mood. If not you've just reduce his affection for you. Finally, never be possessive of a nigerian man, give him freedom of movement, and his conscience will do the rest. If you can follow all this steps, then you've being blessed with one of the romantic, and caring being on earth. NAIJA REAL MAN.

If Nigerian men are so terrible, why do you care? Why not just move on and date men from your own country? Why come to a Nigerian forum and dog Nigerian men and in the process insult Nigerian women? We are fat, desperate for love, submissive, dependent? Where did you people get that? Have you ever been to Nigeria? Most Nigerian women work. A huge number are well educated, with more than one degree. Even the uneducated women work to contribute to the family's income. Irrespective of their level of education, they work hard, trading or farming to earn a living. Most of my friends are married, raising children, working at professional jobs and studying for second or third degrees. Nigerian woman are slim, fat, tall or short, just like other women from other parts of the world. We are beautiful and fashionable. We take care of our homes, our husbands and our children. We respect our men but we are not footmats. We appreciate them even though not all are fulsome and extravagant in the expression of their feelings for us. Don't tell yourself he left a fat old hag at home and is chasing after your gorgeous self, to make yourself feel better. You were played, just like millions of women all over the world are played. Rant and rave all you want but don't insult Nigerian women in the process. We will keep our men, thank you very much, despite all their faults (real and imagined), and we would not exchange them for anyone else. Perhaps you should start to appreciate men from your own country.

one thing I do know if nothing elese. Nigerian men want a women who is submissive,who loves God and who represents him in the best way.That's one thing I know.If you give them some ass then your ass is trash!Keep your legs closed and you will be amazed at how many will want you.I know from experiance.So many men at my church and men who know me threw members of my church like me so much because of the reputaion I have of being a "good girl"They sure don't want someone who has been "around the block" one time too many. If you show them that you are very sexual,they will enjoy your body but will not want you for much more than sex.You can kiss alot flirt alot touch a little but keep those legs closed if you want him to really want you.They feel that if they can get it without marrying you then anyone can.Even if you aren't a virgin,they still want you to respect yourself,and you better believe they will be thinking if she can do this and this to me then she can do it to another guy.Save the freaky side until after he marries you.
I respect your contribution, may God bless u with more wisdom.
Nigrian men are wise, the fact about it is that if u give them sex all time tyhe love will not be there anymore b'because what u eat every time will not has value again.
To all ladies learn to close your legs and zip up always

I dated a Nigerian man for a short time that seemed like much longer! In the beginning he was very sweet and generous to me and would constantly tell me, "You are my world!" At night I would pray to God for sending me this beautiful being! He was just so sweet! Unfortunately, we were friends first and knew his past and before long I got suspicious of our relationship. After I confronted him one night, we went through his cell phone, Not only was he cheating but with 4 different women! One of which who was Nigerian and seem to get the "lovers messages". I was so hurt! He apologized and he promised me they meant nothing and I was who he wanted. More time past and he eventually took a trip back to Nigeria. I spent valuable time helping this man shop & pack for family members he had not seen in years. Before he returned to the States he told me in a text message that his parents did not approve of our relationship! Later we spoke on the phone and he told me he didn't care, "You are still my world!" Three days later he text me its over! When he returned I thought we would get back together or at least be friends. This man belittled me so much! He looked down on me, looked at me with loathed across his face, and acted as if we never dated or been friends. At some point he told me, "You are only African American! You are not African!", "I must marry someone from my tribe and you are not!" When I declared I walking out of his life for good, he tells me he is sorry and/but needs 3weeks to clear his head and become his old self again. During this break I went to his home because I missed my Boobey. There she was half naked and him completely! She was his girl from Nigeria! I was walked out, cussed out, and dismissed. Later we would have conversation where he would call me Bitch and threaten harm on me! I now believe that she knew about me and accepted it. Had I waited 3weeks he would be next to me now writing on this forum about how unbelievable great a Nigerian man is! Living a lie as if he loves me only to give me his ass to kiss later when he is done with me and ready to settle down with his Nigerian Queen! I love African men in general, and still fond but weary of Nigerian men! To any American woman who is dating a Nigerian man I advise you to keep your guard and trust your instincts because even though they are over here working and attending school in our country, they tend to marry their kind!

sometimes i think these men do these things to you because you take it, forgive, forgive and forgive some more. There is only so much a woman, any woman can take be she white or pink. when a man cheats on you HE DOES NOT LOVE YOU no matter what anyone says!!!!!

I am just getting around to reading some of the post. I am a African American woman, black, as I like to call myself, who dated a Naija MAN. We know that are own men are liars and cheaters who do the same things as Nigerian men, but are men have became very lame and lazy at the craft of fooling us that we see it coming a mile away! Really we don't nderstand the Naija man and his "player" role. He shows us something that we have seen before but it has far much finesse and the accent makes it sound better and true. Sure Naija men aren't the only men to break a woman's heart but with all the african american men who have broken our hearts before it is sometimes nice to think that something better has came along and it from our Motherland!

Dont forget that many come to america to seek greener pastures. Before they hit it big or finish schooling or whatever, they need a pillow of support. warm body, hot delicious meals and lots of  . When a man is down or desperate you are his everything. when he wants to marry , he suddenly remembers he can only marry from his tribe? please!  he might have already been married to her before he ever set sail for america (yes, i didnt stutter on that one!) . Anyway one thing ive learnt in my life as a woman is that a man will treat you only as well as you let him. first strike for me and you are out. i never trifled with any man .ever. so i don't expect to be trifled with. and african men have some original tricks too. some have been known to fake their deaths to break up with clingy women.

For some reason faking one own death seems more like a crackhead move! My Naija Man has told me so many lies that I don't know whats true or not from any man! I do know he isnt married. He's only 26 and been here 8 years straight before going home to visit in December. Before he left he was slowing introducing me to friends and siblings,
None-the-less, it does not matter who can "play" women the best. Men should realize tha history has a tendency to repeat itself only to change hands. So he who intentially "plays" a woman will be hurt in the end! Life is too short to live as a lie!
When I was single I would say "A man can only treat You as bad as You allow him too!" It is very true. In my case I was treated bad in covert! He had a strike against but one hell of an explanation!
I will say that have been dumb enough to still allow this man in my life! Once I read your post I cleared the text message I was sending him and text him that I had to take a step back and breather. I thank you for being so quick with your response spoilit.

Well, I had read all this stories n i also have one! IS also very sad, n I hurt so much.
Well ,i had a BAD NIJA man who cheat me n make me sick of this life, I had loved him with whole my heart n give him everything what i can give! I'm very responsible girl with big heart; caring n loving one (is how my parents teach me)
The man just flirt me up, make me love him, like a stupid n fool person( i really don’t know how is happen),also he make not only me do this to him other girl like me(she's African) do the same things. She have a baby-girl from him,n i was there when is happen, he keep me till she was 5 month big, n hold me not to go! I think I’m a sick person, or may be his one or maybe he making to be the one. She give him everything what he ask, most is a ma (bcosCosa people need ma more than love n sex! With ma, they feel comfortable have easy life with everything).Also he have another one who is sending ma to him, but he just playing. He can't do nothing in this life(no working, no business, nothing),just sleeping eating, commanding going out to club n mess somebody like a dog there. He’s cheater n lyre. He make me n than girl know each other, stay n be like a "friends”, but is can't be never like this, because in because life man n woman can't share love n body to other. BUT this one can. He calls him self a model, a big guy, his very famous in his town (Lagos), he has a roil family, but what the hell, Well, I have a son from him, n is very sad that this innocent boy going be sad n see how other have daddy. This man is a devil, force me to get pregnant, promise me golden mounted n later leave me alone every time with belly.
I do hate him so much because he because me so bad,i always telling my self to let it go, but is very deep in my heart, is always there.

Some whitewomen marries blackman for sexual satisfaction while some come to make family. When a brother discoverer that his family is built only on his sexual capacity, he starts thinking other wise, so in that case BACK TO MY ROOT will be his favourite song of the day. There are so many ways to know when a whitewoman is for real and when they're out for your horse size d**k. And also you whitewomen should not be fool to believe when a brother is telling you he's working on a divorce with his formal Nigerian woman. We don't divorce rather we marry on top. So to avoid comming here shouting like OKE MGBADA that just loose her wealth to a 419ER NEVER AND NEVER LISTEN TO A MAN TELLING YOU OF HIS EX NIGERIAN WIFE, WE DON'T HAVE EX WE HAVE FIRST OR SECOND WIFE.

American black men have their issues but i wouldnt compare them to any thing i have read here. To tanicarr i don't agree with u on the sex issue, men will wait forever to get it then leave u all the same. Trust me i made a guy wait for 4 years. Sex is not the issue. The man u choose is the issue. Play the game. Keep your guard up and your options open. Once a man thinks he has u its over. My nigerian guy has his papers, he has a big home and a good job and comes from a good family. So what would he want from me? He told me he always wanted to many a foreign woman. His story is all good and he is wonderful, but i keep my options open. You must! Then u wont get played.

Upon reading all these stories and comments I must say people would not speak so passionately and badly about Nigerians if the majority of them were no indeed crooks and users. They have a comraderie when they leave Nigeria and meet each other,which isnt bad, but they do tend to isolate themselves from other groups, bird of a feather do flock together but where theres a group of nigerians there is a scheme brewing. Not always but mostly. I'm an East-African girl, educated in Britain and my encounters with Nigerians have always left me with a slight bitter tang. I fell in love with a Nigerian man, I'm still deeply, ridiculously in love with him. It was instantaneous really and the time we spent together was beautiful, precious and of course the sex was astronomical as the general consensus seems to be. However, my suspicions were raised from the beginning but strong feelings do cloud good judgment and I carried on with him falling deeper in love. I discovered his undesirable occupation, confronted him about it and even tried to say to me that I couldnt be angry with him for what he did and for lying to me about what he did and that if I used that as a basis for leaving him then I was pathetic, I am in such deep conflict because I believe that he is just a man in a desperate situation doing what he can to survive and I do believe him when he says that he loves me deeply, We have a wonderful friendship, we talk openly about everything under the sun and then some. He has a wonderful mind, beautiful soul and is strong, We have discussed family, marriage, where we would live, There is a significant age difference there too but I don't think that really matters aslong as you are aware of the nature of the relationship and nobody is being abused or used. I am over a decade younger than him, but I am not a stupid young girl.He is still doing his undesirable job and I worry that its only a matter of time before the law catches up with him because the penny will not drop for him to see the bigger picture here. I want to keep the hope that he is not going to use me, but mr common sense is telling me to ditch this guy and focus on what really matters:my future. But, I've never loved a man like this before, I've never met anyone with such an amazing light, who makes me feel so truly myself, proud and beautiful in my skin. He is normally a very secretive person,but he was honest with me about his occupation and his reasons for this. He trusts me above all. It's hard to let go. Part of me would do anything for him, but another is thinking run before you're his wife and the mother of his child, but that also doesnt seem like a terrible prospect. I do want his children. I just don't know what to do, why must this man bind me so much?

One common denominator in all these stories is the sex. Sex was good, sex was astronomical!!!!  Isnt it about time we start suing for sexula objectification  Anyway, You gals should look at your relationship with men prior to meeting your Naija men. Were they any different?  No-one can convince me that being an asshole is a trait unique to Nigerian men. The purposes and aims might be different but the fact remains that the white man and the African American men are not any different. If they are, then the problem is solved. Stick to them. From my experience, that is a difficult thing to ask.

I am African American and I personally believe that it is not just Nigerian men who cheat, lie, or have affairs. Majority of men do, of all nationalities and cultures. It is in a man's nature. But as women we should not allow ourselves to be used and mistreated. I have dated an Nigerian man before he didn't dump me, mistreat me, or use me. Only because I didn't allow him to. Actually still to this day I periodically receive a emails, texts, phone calls expressing his feelings of emotion and concern. If everytime a man broke our heart we resorted to making it a race thing we wouldn't even date our own race.

I'm Malaysian and am dating a Nigerien guy.
I've heard so many bad things about Nigerien men so many times and all the time but I guess I am willing to give him a chance to prove that not all Nigerien men are like that. If he turns out bad, it will be a disgrace for his religion considering that he is quite religious and also it will be a disgrace to his family AND it will be another disgrace to his own people for being one of the rotten pear to spoil the whole lot but I wont refer to all of them as bad if after having bad experience with one. Its just him, not the rest,
And besides, its not good to think that the whole of Nigeria is filled with bad men right? They are millions of men there so I don't think all have to be born evil and bad.
If he is meant to be yours, then he will be eventually you just have to make right decisions and the right choice and hope luck will be on your side.
