@poster,

As a Nija man, i can tell you are still in the early stages of your relationship.

Months down the line, expect:

To start opening the door for yourself

When you go shopping, expect to hear those words "can't you walk faster" with him infront and you trailing behind.

Well, if he is right, and in a few months I have some guy walking ahead and bitching at me to walk faster then he can walk by himself!

What a man has to do to get me, he has to continue doing to keep me.

I don't NEED him. I LIKE him but he should never make the mistake to think that I'm desperate enough to stay with ANY man who doesn't treat me right. I am a good woman who treats my man with only the best and I expect it in return. A man should NEVER think he is irreplaceble!!

@ OP
He's extra romantic and opens car doors for you?  shocked
Reads post again. I see. You are white. We (being nigerian women) usually do not get such gentlemanly gestures. We just watch them in movies or read about them. Apparently you are extra special. Enjoy!

@ Poster, do enjoy your relationship.
Re: Canadian Girl Trying To Understand Nigerian Man by Caper143(f): 3:44pm On Feb 22, 2009
cvide, yes I do. He treats me good and I treat him good in return. A relationship is give and take. I wish he were a bit more open with his thoughts but I guess that will come with time.

As for the comment about him being a gentleman because I'm white, Hmmm, I very much doubt that the color of my skin has anything to do with how he treats me. He's a gentleman because I am a lady.

[b]I'm a white Canadian woman in a relationship with a Nigerian man.  The differences in culture are still new to me so I thought this would be a good way to learn about him since I believe where you come from is a big part of who you are. 

So far, he is quite sweet.   He opens the car door for me, takes me out to movies and dinner, he holds my hand when shopping in stores and compliments me all the time.  I have heard that Nigerian men are not generally romantic and yet he is, or at least he seems to be.

I really do care for him and I guess I am hoping to get some insight in how he thinks and feels from people who share his background.  He is definately someone who's actions speak louder than words because he does plenty for me but is not very forward with discussing his feelings.  Any insight any of you care to share is appreciated.  Thanks!   smiley

How long has your relationship been going on for again? You know what, don't bother answering that question. You are still in the honeymoon stage. When he gets what he wants out of you or when you have been together long enough to do those stinky farts in front of each other without being embarrassed, you can come and preach the gospel of the great romantic Nigerian male. Obviously, there are some romantic Nigerian blokes out there and yours could very well be one of them, but predominantly, chivalry is not a word that springs to mind when one thinks of Nigerian men.
Re: Canadian Girl Trying To Understand Nigerian Man by Caper143(f): 6:41pm On Feb 22, 2009
Blissfully naughty, you're right, it is new. I know very little about Nigeria or the people from there. That is why I started to read up on this site to begin with, so that I could have some insight on where he comes from, his culture, his country, and his customs.

No...most Nigerian men your age that are single or divorced like chicks my age...young.

Now you would have a better chance getting a young Nigerian boy living with his parents.

Yes but not from all regions of Nigeria. The men from south east Nigeria most often prefer to marry young women(16-27years) unlike their counterparts in North and south west who puts attraction above age.

If you are attractive with the right "ass-sets" and boobs then you have chance of getting into relationship with some Nigerian men from specific regions.
