My husband is worse than the men described by the op. He's a very stubborn typical Ekiti man, though he looks cool and gentle but he womanizes a lot and he's also a wife beater and a great liar and manipulator who doesn't believe in other people's opinion. He's a nairalander too. I pray he reads all these. He even womanizes on Naira land too (confirmed), he deceives ladies that he's a single man. He brags a lot about his achievements in life which make some innocent ladies to fall for him.

There are still some good men in Nigeria, but they are not much. For the fact that mine is devilish doesn't make other men to be the same. Some may even be worse than my husband. As I'm typing now, he's in his room mastubating. Coming out from his room occasionally to see whether no one( I and kids) is watching him through the door openings.

We just need to pray for our female children. It is well. Shalom.

Apologies to Ekiti men who are loyal and have good integrity relationwise.

So, what's the point in all these? Only Nigerian men cheat, lie, make you nanny, are chauvinistic or beat wives? Saying 'most are' when you have no factual backing of 'large' claims like this is just trying to be clever by half. You can find men that fit this description all over the world and so, this is trashy.

Reasons Why You Should Not Get Married To A Nigerian Man

It is no doubt that Nigerian men make wonderful lovers; they are sweet, kind, thoughtful, maybe not very romantic but romantic still and good in bed too. It is also no doubt that these men are very rare to come by in Nigeria. Maybe by default or societal conditioning, most Nigerian men are so not it; they are egoistic, chauvinistic and make terrible husband materials. You wonder why I think Nigerian men; at least most of them, won't make good husbands, read the reasons listed below:

-They Are Chauvinists: pardon the strong word "chauvinists" but Nigerian men prefer to stick to their bias opinion about women and their responsibilities in the home. The take the "head" duty way too serious and often push the women aside expecting them to follow their will and do as they say. If you marry a Nigerian man, you will probably end up as the less important voice in the home or wherever the man rather than as a partner you are to him.

- They Are Polygamous In Nature: In Nigeria, some men believe men are entitled to as many women as they can handle and so, they are free to marry more than one wife or have affairs with other women. With a Nigerian man, it is never certain that you will be the only woman in his life. To save yourself the heartbreaks of discovering condoms and hotel receipts in his pocket or worse, finding out he has secret children, please do not marry a Nigerian man.

- They Are Not Romantic: you want flowers, a guy to follow you to the salon, exotic lunches, dinners, vacations, chocolates and breakfast in bed? Then, a Nigerian man is not the man you should marry. They often consider these things as cheesy and unneccesary. Maybe they will try on your birthdays and valentine's day (that's if they don't come up with excuses to forget). The most romantic thing some Nigerian men will ever get for you is packs of food from an eatery or drinks and few back/foot rubs just right before sex.

- You Will Be A Nanny To A Grown Man: if God blesses you with a Nigerian man and a somehow scattered one, you are in soup. You've just graduated to being a nanny to a full grown man. You will pick his socks, shirts and what not after him when he gets back from work, even flush the toilet when he's done. Be ready to face a sulking man if the food is not ready on time or you try to get him to do something for you when his favourite game or tv show is on. You will have to pet and stroke his ego almost all the time to make him happy.

- They Have The Wife Beating Syndrome: either by societal conditioning or home training, some Nigerian men believe it is very normal to hit a woman; that is the only way to put them back on track when they are wrong. It is no secret that some Nigerian men will beat their wives and feel no regret about it; it is somehow the woman's fault the man is so angry to the extent he has to hit her. If you're not ready to lose your fine skin to the itchy palms of a man, please steer clear of Nigerian men.

Nigerian men are also good liars. They smoke and drink heavily and blame it on the society's deteriorating condition; they have to "keep body and soul together". Many Nigerian men have money problem; it is either they are misers or heavy spenders. Some prefer to show off the wealth they do not possess by living way beyond their standards. And the most annoying part is that many Nigerian men are Mr nice guy in public and Mr stingy in their homes which you will agree is not a very attractive trait especially in someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.

I know by now, some guys are already hissing and cursing me probably but it is undeniable that many Nigerian guys have terrible attitudes that make them really undesirable husband materials. I mean, it is tough enough we have to cope with the many issues in the country, men problems should not be added to our weighty wahala. We deserve men who understand us (at least to a reasonable extent), shower us with the affection we need, pamper us and make us feel very special and loved but how many Nigerian men can beat their chests that they can be the man of our dreams or at least, part of the dreams?!!

Who cares about you marrying a white man, u are just fooling yourself.

Girls like u are those who weep in sorrow after marriage, continue, if u will even cross Naija border in your life time.

Nothing like Nigerian mentality here, that is the basic premise on which marriages are founded. The expectation is that the man provides for the woman in exchange for sex. it's been like this almost from time immemorial.

Bluntly stated like that it will offend those who aspire to more in marriage but this fact cannot be denied.
Did you even read the world I capitalized; HER KIDS. This refers to the result of the sex they had together. He's not providing for HER kids alone but HIS kids too.

Guy, you fall my hand no be small. Where did you get this nonsense? So all these years I have been providing for my 2 kids I was doing it in exchange for sex? What about the years after I divorced their mum?

Thank you for this question. I've been asking myself this same question and many more. I didn't notice the traits in him. He looks gentle and he can be so loving at times to get what he wants. Nobody gave me an hint until when we got married and I noticed the traits almost a year after, that was when one of his childhood friends who I respected so much told me that he had been like that.

I keep on praying and hoping he would change someday, instead its getting worse as God started to bless him (note: we started from nothing) he has already stopped going to church since three(3) years ago. Thank God he changed recently to drop something for feeding, I only contribute to feeding now and he now pays the children school fees after much persuation from friends and a few relatives.

I'm even tired of fasting and prayers, I'm been trying my best to play it cool but its like I'm getting wrong, I'm getting frustrated. IT ISN'T EASY AT ALL.

We married legally, willingly. There was a time (recently) I reacted to all these ill-treatments from him, he is now using it as the basis for what he has been doing(he rented another apartment with an Igbo lady) without my knowledge, he only told me he has a program me he's running so, he may not be coming home frequently, unknowing to me then that he was lying. I confronted him when I discovered but he used antagonizing method to answer me and I reacted, he's now basing his bad habit on that reaction(that's what he said) and I don't want to commit adultery. I've never turned him down b4, he used to come and sleep with me when there's no other option for him. But now for the past months, he's neglected me. He only comes home to see his kids when he feels like. He's above advice, some of his family members support what he's doing while some God feariing among them have tried to talk sense into his head but he ended up making them his enemies, he walks out on them, so when they could no longer bear the insults, they keep looking.

Your story is very familiar to me. I did all these things to my ex-wife. When I got tired of doing those hurtful things I left her. In my own case my love for her died. And her personality and character did not help plus I hated her mother.

Really? if you could do that one intentionally without spiritual back up, that means my hubby too is doing his for a purpose. It is well. i am even begging him to release me but he doesn't want to. Your own case, you left her so that she can replan her life. I will like to replan my life too. because I'm tired of pretence of being happy when I'm deeply hurt. I've fasted, I've become lean. I've begged him but all to no avail. I don't want to commit adultery.

stop generalizing on issues and people. I will advise unmarried sisters and brothers to "shine " their eyes, and look for real people with real values. GOd is the best guide.

Nice one!.
You are living in an american movie. Nigerian guys are wanted all over d world cos they have been seen to be caring and romantic, u want ur husband all for urself at d same time u want him to get u d most expensive things, tell me how he's going to do dat while he's busy following u to salon and all dat. I smell selfishness here. By the way, goodluck with finding a white man or a non-nigerian. Over 55% of america's married people get divorced within 10years..
Just checked OP's profile, seems like she's not currently in nigeria. I see why you set up this thread now but how would you feel if I opened a thread" why you shouldn't marry a nigerian woman" then I list nasty things about nigerian women. Kai! This is the first thread that would really piss me off.
