That sounds dangerous. What if he agrees that he indeed doesn't love you that much, and asks for a break-up?  Tongue

"Marrying a "foreigner" would mean it is a woman's world and I cannot accept that". "It is easier for me to deal with a Nigerian woman than a foreigner."

You seems be unsafe or with lack of selfconfidence. If have to get married with a woman that agree with everything you talk, lay down and say amém everytime and etc, My babe oga is special and thats why not much brainwork is required. He knows how to deal with native woman and eat fufu and he know how to deal with foreign woman and eat sushi and both of us will feel loved and completely. Thats why Grafikdon I say, how can I find another fish like that?

about the culture:
"He calls you native endearing names like "Nne" or "Omo"

HE CANT CALL ME LIKE THAT BECAUSE I DONT HAVE NATIVE NAME

" The way he licks his ten fingers 'because that Ogbono soup with Iyan hit da spot, Oh Yes!!!

WHEN HE DOES IT I USED SAY THE FOOD HAVE ALREADY FINISHED AND I ASK I HE WANTS MORE Shocked

My dear Simibrazil

Thank you for your giving us your understanding version of the African culture. May I remind you as to what this topic is about.  "Why Must Nigerians Abroad Marry Nigerians?" I merely offered my opinions as to why as a Nigerian guy, I would prefer to marry a Nigerian woman. Your interpretations to any comments posted here are perfectly within your basic human rights to do so.

This thread is not about your "dilemma".  Thank you! Or are you surreptitiously scouting for another fall "Nigerian" guy?---We are familiar with all these games you know. Tongue Goodluck in your search.  I had the impression you already had one giving you the run around over there.

Dear, the worst truth is better than the sweety lie. I am strong I can support.


almondjoy

He was my first and last nigerian, never more honey and I am not looking for anyone, when we look we don't find and it is something that just happen when we don't expect.

I have ready all comments and your comment make me think you are unsafe because foreign woman is too much also you are lazy because you don't want much brainwork (I am so sorry for my nigerians sistah, I understand why a lot of them doenst know what orgasmic mean (smile) .I am giving a instance) As everything is ready and easy you don't care about her wish and please her because as she was tauch to be quiet and never complain is comfortable for you.

I see there are a lot of things you do not understand. For one, most Nigerian women understand that life does not begin and end in a 5 second orgasmic process.  Why I chose to marry a Nigerian like I said is that I find them more predictable and I understand their needs.  Having spent most of my adult live with your kind my darling, I am still yet to understand what makes you "tick"!

I may like to wine and dine you for the "freakish" thrills you might offer my naive "mandingo" tail--but in the final analysis--I like my homies! Nothing wrong with my experimenting and educating of my humble-jungle self.  No offence intended.  It is just a matter of preference.  Just as I think you will prefer one of the "jaykwons or tyrones" over there! Wink  You see, there is enough to go around "Shequana"!!!! Cheesy It is a matter of preference.  Can't hate anyone for that! Undecided

@SimiBrazil, sorry to hear about your situation, four years is far too long to be in a relationship for marriage/commitment to be out of the question, based upon something you can't change and he knew of all along.

I must ask you, do you think he already had someone else who he plans to marry? I don't see too many men investing four years in a woman they refuse to marry.

There are plenty of Nigerian men who are flexible when it comes to marriage, so try not to let this experience taint them in your eyes. There must have been something good about him if you stayed so long and was willing to marry him.

@Londoner

Does she sound like she can stay with a Nigerian man? Undecided From one experience she has concluded it is her first and last! Tongue She even pities our "sistas" for not knowing what cosmic "oragasmic" processes entail. Cheesy

Almondjoy, its just the talk of a woman scorned, if you take a look at the "why Nigerian men are attracted to Caribbean women" thread, you will see the result of men scorned, lol

At the end of the day, we tend to view the world through our own experiences, but then new experiences come along all the time and give us an opportunity to put things into perspective, if we take them up ofcourse.

As far as the absence of orgasms, most Nigerian women would leave before four years if  an orgasm was so important. Besides she didn't leave because of lack of orgasm, but because he wouldn't make her his wife.

Its just the hurt talking. I would be hurt if  I were her, I would feel betrayed.

We might have run a concurrent thread stating "Why must Nigerians be so ethnically oriented when it comes to marriage?"

It's obvious that Nigerian parents of the immediate generation ahead would keep their kids' marital pairs within their ethnic circles; much less consider a foreigner as a suitable spouse for their child.

To be a little more focused, Seun, I love your apparent family structure and I'm envious of the fact that your parents will let you marry anyone of your choice (that's if you think you know them well enough). I stick to my guns but at a price. With due respect, I'm a first born too (first of a first) and I get the shitty end of the stick. All the time. My brothers don't get it nearly as tough because I can see it - and they comment on it too. I didn't ask to be first - nor to be branded pillar/post/supporter of the clan/family. But that's the way the cookie crumbles. My mom's raving adamant. My dad, quietly insistent. I've several times before asked "what am I to do?". But I know what to do. One way is to sever all there is and "cold boot". But that a radical fix. Milder alternatives exist. Though it may be what they're asking for if they won't let go. No girl is making me do this. It's a way to shake the tethers off. You wouldn't understand it Seun because it's a concept that can't be imagined when not experienced. It goes beyond marriages - it pervades other aspects of life. A much eclipsed fact. But that's another thread. Someday, I'll run that thread as my catharsis.

Marry for love and marry free - when you can, but weigh the cost. If it may cost too much (don't kid yourself by saying "afterall, it's between my spouse and I") especially if your family is deeply ethnic and runs extended roots, do a damage limit assessment. But I haven't said anything some of us don't know already. Strike out the must and simply stick with the statement "Nigerians abroad may marry Nigerians". Nothing is ever so compulsory in life. Really . . .

Some parents are ethnically oriented, others are not especially in cases where those parents had a succesful inter-ethnic marriage themselves. Wink Parents are also human beings, and can be persuaded or cajoled to change their minds or shift their positions. Mutual trust, respect, love, understanding, compassion, loyalty, integrity etc. count for much more in my own books, than ethnicity. It doesn't matter if you are the first born or not, most parents usually object at first, to their child's choice of partners. Some feel that nobody is good enough for their son or daughter, others rely on all the stereotypes they have heard about X ethnic group or Y ethnic group, to arrive at a decision, instead of getting to know that person as an individual and assessing him or her strictly on merit.

I believe nothing good comes easy. Everything has its' own price. Every relationship will be subjected to its' own test, either by fate, Providence, circumstances or society. It now depends on the strength of character of both parties involved, the depth of affection they share, and their ability to bond together to weather the storms. These factors will determine if they can continue to bond and thrive despite the odds, or if they will pull apart in a crisis.

First-born or not, YOU would have to live with that individual for life, not your mum or dad. The most important thing to check, is if that person is willing to adapt to your culture or way of life, and has the temperament to get along with your family.  Wink

If I found someone who loved me simply for who I was, put me first, prayed with me & for me, had my back, shared their heart & thoughts with me, had integrity, compassion, understanding and respect for me, shared my vision, hopes and aspirations, connected with me on a deep, fundamental level and wanted the best for me at all times. . . .do you think I would let such a person go, simply on the basis of ethnicity? Hell, NO!   Angry

I have seen Nigerians marry foreigners o, pure oyinbos, bring them to Naija and some of those marriages worked out, while others didn't. I personally know two families where the Oyinbo women learnt not just their husband's culture, but also the language, quite well. I have also seen those Nigerians who married within their own ethnic groups and some worked, while others fell apart. So ethnicity does not provide any iron-cast guarantees, that we would have a strong marriage, due to the fact that we share a similar culture.  Undecided

Everyone needs to search deep within their own heart, to discover what works for them and pursue it. But our problem even as adults, is that many of us Nigerians are people pleasers. We want to please our mums & dads & extended families, even at the expense of our own happiness sometimes. Why??

With just one experience? Undecided  We all get scorned at one time or the other. We learn to move on instead of whining and pining over failed relationships.  I guess it is difficult for other to move on.

I don't think I am following you on this last entry of yours.  What are you trying to tell us here?  Is there anywhere in this world the "women" do not complain about their "men"?  I think you need to start looking in your "yard" first before you make generalizations of what you have not "yet" experienced.
