How's he holding on to past? Can't you see the OP alluded to the fact that the guy was raised by his grandmother - and his consciousness is more 'traditional' than 'modern'?? That aside, there are certain things that feel more natural to different races than others - we as Africans can always emulate 'Western/Europeans' but we will never be like them... Some things are just inborn, and no amount of imitation and copying can change it... A look at how foreign religions haven't worked in the Nigerian context should tell you all you need to know...

There's nothing bad in copying or 'modernizing' - but overdoing everything is just never going to work... There are certain things you just can't change... The best method is by balancing both.

Contemporary + Traditional = Prof. Wole Soyinka... Best of both worlds


Embracing culture is great!...It is golden, It gives you an identity, it shows you know your roots.

That said, one may argue that the principal reason for obtaining a formal education in the first place, is to see the world in ways that our great grandparents have been unable to see it...to evolve more intelligently, dispel historical myths, make new discoveries and yet still hold on firm to the identity and roots we share.

Some folks many years ago believed in killing twins, pooing in the bush, drinking from the river, and all sorts. It will be disappointing if there are people in this generation who still view the world around them in the same way. A man who believes Ronaldo plays football with charm certainly does. A man who will rather make sacrifices to the gods than go to hospital for medical care still does. Professor Wole Soyinka, King Sunny Ade and a host of others are people who have all evolved intelligently with time.

hahhahahahaha woooosh. ***falls from the bed****
Omo I too like the guy o, you want to deny him what he enjoys in the name of being civilised abi. Though buy a second hand Audi 80 for that price is sheer stupidity sha, but I don't see anything wrong in wanting to eat Yam instead of pringles, afterall you guys were with friends which should probably know him already.

There are things I am also not used to that my chick want to instill in me by all means. like

Wanting to get used to washing the dishes with liquid soap instead of the bar soap I'm used to. i'm used to my Canoe or key soap grin

Always adding dettol to my bathing water (who teach me this one) cheesy

Always asking me to wash my hands every now and then

Prefers I used the Vaccum cleaner instead of broom. (she no know say na effizy I buy am for) grin

Always complaining I walk too fast ( I was born and raised on the streets of Lagos, no time for sme sme) grin

there so much other stuffs she's always trying to imbibe in me that I just comply with to satisfy her, but left for me I was born a papi roro, na God just pity me. lol

@post.
You probably think once you leave that guy you would land your ''American boy''. Let me tell you. If you leave the guy you would find it difficult to get another man half good. By the time you realize what you've done to yourself you would shout; ''had I known'' and you will blame satan for your bad luck.

shymexx: About "he's so archaic" - like most of you are not medieval yourselves, with no identity smh... At least the guy has an identity and he's sticking to his "guns", what's your identity?? I guess, modern.. Bwahahahahahahaha... GTFOH with that bs!! Nigerians are so twisted! undecided

But dude, the Negro does not like pre-intimacy, he just wants to stick it to the babe.....common now....even traditionalists did fore play....maybe the guy should watch kamasutra or learn Kunyaza....

Did she say she wants an "American Boy"? And what gives u d inklin that she won't find someone better? Why are some people so opprobrious??
Re: My Boyfriend Is Too Archaic It Worries Me by Duxe(f): 9:07pm On Sep 08, 2012
Hehehehehe!! Very funny story,this one!

@OP..1 thing i can not stand is the smell of garlic on someone's breath!! No way..not me! No matter your looks!
So, as far as i am concerned,if you could stomach a smelly mouth for that long-3yrs( n he probably uses chewing stick stead of brush/paste, n may not believe in mouth wash/sprays)..then you can, by all means continue!

I love yam and oil!
950k 4 audi? Nah
pack 2 d villa? Well..o.y.o!
Socialize with kids? Are u kidding?

My advice? If you love him..garlic n all, stay. If you dont, free yourself n the guy. Period.

@leobreezy.
''American boy'' was used figuratively NOT literally. Don't quote anything I write if you have challenges with English.

Neither did i quote it literally. U can see the quote (" "wink symbol can't u? If d op's post perplexes u then don't comment, instead of being irrationally judgemental.

shymexx: I don't understand Nigerians sometimes, the guy is just being himself - yet you're hating on him... How about if he fakes it and look stupid, like most Nigerians imitating western culture look to me, then you would label him a faker.

The guy is just a traditionalist and you also alluded to the fact that he was raised by his grandmother. Perhaps, that contributed to his traditional way of doing things, and there's nothing wrong with that - as along as he has a good heart... Having a good heart is the most important thing in a relationship, the other crap you posted is just secondary..

The word 'modern' is so overrated, modern means contemporary - and not everyone believes in 'groupthink', some might just opt for the traditional ways of doing things based on their temperament and upbringing... Nigerians need to rid themselves off this perverse thought process and accept people for who they're... undecided


Agree the guy can be what he wants but this is a stubborn man set in his own ways. He's not traditional but simply manipulative. He's using the traditional angle to have his way. Too rough at the edges to embrace other ways of doing things

It's bad manners to tell your host what you want to eat. If you don't like what was offered just say no. Yam and palm oil? Should a Yoruba man visit an ibo man and insist on eating amala and ewedu?

The OP had better let him go to his village and find his bride, He's the sort of guy that will tell the wife he can't baby sit or cook because tradition frowns at it.
