CityNG:

I watched that too.

If its the same one they showed the guy taken delivery of a sports car during their marriage.

During my divorce my wife just took the while file cabinet and gave it to her lawyer.

The story wey Son of Man fit tell all of una

Yes, it's the same episode!

Eyah..you've seen a lot

All I know I can't part my money with a woman.. Mbanu.

Akinsnaira: What I read today in Washington Post contradicts what OP piled up here.

1) -They said, more than half of American Adults are single.

2) -Over 50percent of the marriage cases end up in divorce

3) -Over 75percent of children in America, especially male, were brought up by single parent.

4) Note: Single Parent means their mothers

And when I panned through the various comments, the common view was that, Feminism should be blamed for the menace, by giving women too much power in the marriage and the US law that makes the men worse off in any divorce. So funny that, some of them are even saying that,

5) it is insane for any man to be legally married to a woman in America.

I think all these contradict your claim @OP

1) True according to this non gervement study. remember garbage in, garbage out. Anyone can do a study to support their position.

2) It's high but not that high. There's historical data that shows that divorce rate goes high when economy goes down.

3) I would like to see your source.

4) Not true. Single parent could mean a man or woman.

5) True. I came home to marry a traditional Yoruba Woman with a plan to return to Nigeria in the short term and I will never have married an American again. I have many single friends who will never marry because of their wealth. There's nothing to be gained from marriage.

Don't be surprised if the Lagos State government and/or the FG enact American-style divorce laws. That would be a shocker

They better NOT even try it... Why would they want to think of such let alone enact such wicked laws?

ebdib:

SO MANY LIES, GENERALIZATIONS AND MISINFORMATION IN JUST ONE ARTICLE.
AMAZING..

It's more amazing because it's coming from someone who hasn't been to USA before. How mind-boggling can it get?

manny4life:

In reality, though, its a long shot. Is it not the same 'traditional' men that comprise the National Assembly and the State Houses of Assembly?
Why on Earth will David Mark support a bill which guarantees that his ex-wife gets N2billion in alimony?

Yeah they can do that but my situation is completely different this time around.

I shine my eyes well well

EmoBoy: Let me me tell you a fact.

90 percent of the pornogràphy the world watches comes from america.

That shows a lot about the level of morality in the society.

I'm outta here...

Don't be disappointed, she hasn't been to USA before hence the lies/generalisations she spewed. Pardon her.

Sigh. Seun, you have a problem. A real problem. And stop hiding my posts.

The OP is not even American. This is such bull and pointless, too. What is with the obsession with America?

hehehehehe true. No wonder our brodas and sisters still come 'home' to find a partner outside the hinges of this law.

daveP: hehehehehe true. No wonder our brodas and sisters still come 'home' to find a partner outside the hinges of this law.

Now you're talking. Though I'm not sure if I would come home to find a wife.

I had to force myself to respond line by line because unfortunately some sardines on here will actually believe that crap about us.

I used to get that urge lol. I got tired. I just skip over it now.

Has anyone ever asked you if Obama installed a chip inside your body? I heard that twice in Nigeria. Also, that America is the modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. What else... Lol tell me some of the funny things you've heard about America from Nigerians. Let's derail.

they america i don't knw is far better than the america i knw

CFCfan:
Now you're talking. Though I'm not sure if I would come home to find a wife.

We all have to make individual decisions but I think it's the right thing to do.

If it's the last thing I do I will make sure that my Son marries a nice Nigerian girl from a good traditional home.

That being said, it hasn't worked well for some.

Some go home and marry some hot looking runs girl unknowingly and becomes worse than a local girl here. Some get here and they make bad friends and all becomes lost.

Just going home to marry is 1% of the necessary due diligence one must make. I made many unannounced trips home to surprise my then Fiancee

I mean all the necessary work still has to be done. Just marrying a Nigerian at home guarantees nothing.

Sweetlemon: Yeah we all think America is a liberated, free country for all. But what we do not know is that to some extent, there are things that Americans still practice despite all the feminism and human rights movements, some even outdated.

1. Ain't Nothing Like Gender Equality: Yes there are a few superwomen here and there. Beyonce there, Oprah Winfrey there, female supreme court judges, etc. But there is a line drawn somewhere. Do you know that there are still many jobs that pay men more than women for doing exactly the same thing? Business policies are more male-tailored, also the percentage of female CEOs of top companies in Nigeria for instance is far more than that of the US. That's why they have so many laws protecting women to make up for this.
Also, it will be easier for a female president to come out from Nigeria than US (black or white) Let's bet this. Hilary Clinton fans take note of this.

2. They Actually Have a Deep Rooted Culture; Thanksgiving and 4th of July are traditions that will remain till thy kingdom comes and they follow it religiously. They also have certain kinds of music, food, and ways of partying that are strictly American. Apart from their atheists, they collectively say grace at the table during every family meal. They also have a tradition they observe in the weddings. Their weddings are more like trad and white rolled into one.

3. There Are Probably More Percentage Of Housewives In The US Than In Nigeria (minus rural settings); Go to high brow areas like Bel-air where there are wives of successful lawyers and and surgeons doing nothing all than taking care the kids and going shopping. Not just high brow but almost all classes of people. There are more and more housewives choosing to stay back and take care of the home. Some work from the house though.

4. There Are Lots Of Gold Diggers; This is for the "Nigerian girls and money" criers. American and Russian babes no dey carry last in the area of god digging. Marrying an American woman is like getting ready to loose more than half your wealth because in case of a divorce, the courts will give her most of your wealth which you will have to work hard to replenish. Sometimes it"s worse if she already has her own money, she will make sure she gets a good lawyer to squeeze you dry. But American billionaires have ways of making new money so they are coping. Lol. Do you know there are many, many young even middle aged attractive women with the sole aim of marrying wealthy men?

5. Straight Guys Hate Gay Guys; With a passion! Go to American sites and blogs and see anonymous comments from straight guys about gay men. You will coil! Words like "gay asss" or "gay" are used to ridicule them codedly. Gays can NEVER have equal rights in America. Politicians just use them to score points. They all know that homosexuals cannot actually live like and get all the benefits of straight people in all American states.

6. An American Guy Will Choose A Virgin Over A LovePeddler As Wife; Unless, of course love comes in, contrary to what people think that American men don't care about morality in their women, they will pick an inexperienced girl over a LovePeddler any time any day. Not like they are looking for virgins, but they need and crave decent women. If you don't believe me, watch BAGGAGE on Dstv 127 almost every evening. Also visit American blogs and forums. Yes the Average American guy can't resist some one night stands here and there but he can't marry her. Yes they can have baby mamas and even live with them, but they don't marry them.

7. There Are Actually More Percentage of Virgins In America Than In Most Countries In Africa; Some of them are the miss-goody-two-shoes, no makeup, no fancy dresses types while some are the party girl types. They chose to remain virgins not for religious reasons or because they are good girls but because they chose to preserve it for that special man, or to auction it off! Lol! Is it not oyibos that auction that virginity? Some as old as 26 years old!

8. American Guys Go To Meet Their Girlfriend's Families Long Before Nigerian Guys Are Ready For Such; They are also old-fashioned when it comes to serious relationships. Opening car doors, taking you out on several dates, and even meeting your folks before taking you to his house or asking you to come to his. Unlike our Nigerian niggas who get your number today and the next thing they are asking when you will come to see them!

9. Most American Grandmas Are Just As Prim And Proper As Ours; They take care of grandkids and give all the advice and lectures and are just as protective and desirous of grandkids as our own grandmothers.

If you doubt any of these, do some research.

I agree with the gold digging part a lot but I'm not sure about them having many virgins. I don't think so. They are as generous if not more generous as their Nigerian ladies counterparts.

I know they encourage you guys to be gay over there. (That was my boyfriend)

No one there goes to church. (Ironic, seeing as American-style evangelism is probably the most popular version of Christianity in Nigeria)

CFCfan:

lol. Ah abeg o come o! At least u can carry her back and enjoy.

Sometimes i wonder if the ladies are aware that the men would still wanna come back to get a partner instead of going ahead wif them in the Usa. Deji sees Laverne they flow for sometime, no hassle. Only for Deji to come back for Funke cos he fears that divorce law. That kind of happening.

Blaqsmith: God Bless America!

And naija too...amen

Kayraph: America still remains the destination of choice for Nigerian youths!

Yes, for the lazy,gullible and hopeless Nigerian youth(s).

manny4life: All I know I can't part my money with a woman.. Mbanu.

Then keep her in the village and do DNA every birth of a child to be sure

I was talking about illegal birds.

I wasn't referring to people that travelled genuinely.

MissMeiya: What is with the obsession with America?

just helps us feel like we are not the worst hit.
Since they all happen in America,then it's all good.
A way of saying american isn't so much better than Nigeria so we still have hope.

You get?
