Simple statistics.
We know most Nigerians would like to marry Nigerians to avoid cultural issues right?

Well, this post is prejudiced.

There are many reasons one will decide to return to his people to pick a partner.
First, i think most of these guys want a long term relationship (as pointed earlier) the rate of divorce is minimal among fellow Nigerian couples because we believe in family. Of course, you do not have to return to Nigeria to get a Nigerian partner, but that depends on where (what country/ area) you are based. For me, I would have preferred marrying 'oyinbo' and damn the consequences but then I think that will be selfish especially to the children when the issues of marriage arises. Not as if there are no good ones to marry oh, but issue of cultural differences, on issues such as how to raise the kids, vacation in Nigeria (considering the security issues that the country is facing), religion; as most western world are secular, and lots of other issues that will make one want to return home and save some future headaches.

Secondly, you want someone who shares your values and concerns. Someone to share your victories with without fear (atleast you no suppose fear Naija peeps ).

Thirdly, I think going to Nigeria to marry is away of enlightening and creating opportunity for fellow Nigerian (trust me, every family is on their own in Naija). There are certain things people who live in Nigeria cannot imagine, like good roads that is free of accidents, constant power supply, good healthcare systems, better governance; where people can hold their government to account and have them take responsibility. Because people do not know what government is, is why one will say a grossly incompetent government is the best because the government of the day is from your tribe, share the same religion as you. You see a govt official resigning, even getting jailed because of unaccounted $100, then you wonder what happen to all the billions missing in naija.

there are busy forming shakara on NL like shymex and 50 calibre and when their kpeckus cannot even perform for more than 2mins they start looking for young girls to deceive with marriage

im a married woman please stop all of this

Cos the boys and girls in jand and Yankee are mostly not serious, they often lack manners, and are filled with funny western rationalizations (Nigerians born and trained overseas may not have issues with this).

The Nigerians who were brought up in Nigeria but later went overseas who marry a partner they meet abroad usually marry the ones who have lived majority of their lives in Nigeria; compatibility is a major issue in marriage, except they're marrying for economic gains (Pappers) , Nigerians rather be with a partner who share their own socio-cultural heritage.

It is a lie that all or most Nigerian girls prefer white guys.

Ilekeh:


Lol orisirisi and the ones in Nigeria have manners?

Amefrica:
I don't even know which one I go do now. But, I guess I dey follow that path too.

primed:

The degree vary bro..if you think the ones in Nigeria have no manners, you can imagine what'll get from those socialized outside the Nigerian shores.
And manners is just one of the several points I noted.

GboyegaD:


Like I said different people come for reasons best known to them. Sometimes too, they strive to get their food before they think of getting married. It isn't easy for some people to get the necessary documents that will enable them bring their spouses earlier and some are not okay getting married to other nationalities.

Dude you've been in canada for less than a month. How about facing your studies?

Personally, I think Nigerians in Nigeria have less manner, no respect for privacy, and always looking for who to suck dry.

But that's just my opinion.

Well said. I'm marrying a Bangladeshi iA and although, I know I will miss some naija flavour, I know I will be gaining a whole lot of Bangla, lol.

Burger01:
@Op, sincerely speaking, there are no good wives or husbands abroad. I mean I can be sure of UK and USA. I've seen a number of ladies in Massachusetts that got used and dumped at random by naija guys and those darky Jamo guys. Guys over there are never serious except for few. Some guys do have wives and kids back home and will lie to those hapless babes and promised them heaven on earth there in USA. Its not just about the green cards or money, just that most guys are not serious. Then for the girls, they prefer to come home and get married after several heartbreaks in the hands of foreign lovers. Abroad is really not where you can hope to get a good wife or a good husband. I'm not generalising but it's just what happens over there. That's the way it is...

Amefrica:

Clap for yourself. Na even yesterday I come, I never reach one month. ...and what problem do you have with my studies? My papa complain give you? How's that your effing business? Did I tell you I'm ready for marriage now?
And what in Jupiter does "black man na western target practice" means? Pls you sir should mind your business.
Thanks in advance!

primed:

I agree with you on the bolded regarding Nigerian girls( it's almost embarrassing).
On the issue of manners, I guess that can be relative depending on how thick your skin is really and your sort of exposure.
On the privacy issue, almost all women have that issue. I got a friend that married a white girl, when they were dating, the babe hacked his Facebook account and was making sure he wasn't cheating on her and when any girl tries to get friendly, she unfriends them.
