@mzfelivisions
Very interesting topic though u started off on the wrong foot! U don't generalize u just don't do that
Some of the issues you raised are applicable to AA's as well
You seem eccentric but very practical about what you want you just have to take the good with the bad because you seem to be genuinely crazy about Nigeria (which is by no means a perfect country) so why not apply that state of mind to who you are looking for!

Nigerian men are the Salt of the Earth this is a globally acknowledged fact grin grin

mzfelivisions: No its the issue that we r discussing that has stopped me from choosing, I can't seem to understand the communication method. If I dnt cll, instead of being busy, I must be " having fun" but if he doesn't call I'm selfish becuz don't I realize he's a "busy man". If I refuse to go out its because I'm hiding from someone instead of me being protective of my image so that none can come and make useless advances to me because iv been seen out with too many men due to the type of business I do. That if I have to travel even when I've informed him for business, I receive midnight calls and clls at inopportune time and yet there is no trust, when I've never shown you that I do anything bad. That there's this insane desire to bed me, when you haven't even taken the time to know what makes me tick, wat makes me happy, what I do when I'm nervous. If you can admit it takes time to know those things, why won't it take time to posess my most precious treasure. They get annoyed and ask am I a virgin, after all I hv children and I expln tht I live my life by example to my children. I can't ask my daughters to behave and be a good girl, if I don't show them wat a good girl is, I can't demand or expect my sons respect women if I don't show them wat a good woman looks like or what to look for in a wife. I must admit that I do have high expectation because I have seen men, real men, not just those who cll themselves that because they were born with a extra member. Nigerian, AA, Global. I want a man that can be my head, that I can trust and believe in. A man who will allow me to close my eyes, streach out my hand and allow him to GUIDE me, not in obedience but in love and TRUST, because I know what it means to be a wife, a mother, a lover .... a helpmeet. I take my position seriously. Its not a right to be a Wife or Husband, its an honor and privelegde that comes with responsibilities and expectations

Look my friend, you are too uptight. It is entirely your fault that you can't find a man. What kind of person finds "So you have forgotten me abi" offensive? You keep screaming about how much you love Nigeria and its men, yet you are unable to adjust to simple innocuous Nigerian communication. My advise for you is to work on yourself first, because it's obvious to me you are the type that creates drama over innocuous things. If you can't adjust to the simple Nigerian style of communication, then Nigerian man are not for you. Infact, I'm sure even if you were not in Nigeria, you will have the same complaints about the men of wherever you are. Many of us live in the USA, and Americans girls are generally not offended by the Nigerian style of communication, how much more someone that lives in Nigeria?

Someone is bored and needs company. What would a grown woman be looking for a puzzle for? There are Nigerian men that are perfectly understandable and will value your specs. As for women, I know Nigerian men don't discriminate. Young o, old o. Just look for your specs and leave the puzzles alone for girls that are interested in solving them.

@OP, Never lower your standards for any one. As regards your comment on Nigerian men, I have noticed all of the things you have complained about 100%.

But I can confidently say that there are some who are exceptions and to meet your ideal guy you'll need to search real hard and pray.

Nice writing style.
