Before you say "yes" to $$, please read the next line below.

My best friend lost his partner to one "Yankie" guy during the last Xmas break. We later found out that this guy is married and living comfortably with his wife in NYC, which leaves this girl with 2 options:
[list]
[li]Become 2^nd wife[/li]
[li]Join a dating site for a new guy.[/li]
[/list]

In my own opinion, the so called "tokunbos" are not usually what they promise to be, in fact, most of them are
hit-and-run-back-to-base drivers.

sorry, dont get u. explain further

okay, what is a tokumbo? explain futher!

Nigerians who are overseas.

it all depends on what side of the equation you're on...

still not making sence.
@wale4x35, hmmmmm, i reserve my comment

Tokunbo in nigerian parlance means second hand!

Walex4x35 if u had a bitter experince with a tokunbo girl doesnt mean that all nigerian girls oversea are goin 2 end up like dat . In as much dat dey look vry well b4 dey leap. So dont generalise be more specific. (Not tryin 2 b rude)

Some of us are Original

I never heard of that expression be4.
But I know that many Nigerians don't like Nigerian girls as a girlfriend that have dated a whit man before.
But your question is not clear to me.
Or do you mean you would rather get a home girl and bring her? But when she gets here is she not also a" tokunbos"?
Or will you marry a home girl and keep your wife at home in Nigeria

I used to think tokunbo meant, born and raised abroad but brought back to father land later, I wont be refered to as a tokunbo oh, i was born and raised at home.

is that not an AJE Butter

@ mamaput lmao of course tokunbos r sometimes ajebotas,but d razz version of d proper naija ajebotas dey r usually- chauffeurs,janitors,receptionist and messengers from yankee 2 naija 2 showw off dia earned dollar so if u fall 4 a yankee messenger , u'll have ursef 2 blame.

its funny

cos once upon a time they only came home 'to marry!'

i guess times have changed!

@ poster

answer is no!

but im sure women back home will just be obsessed with tokunbos

A woman just has to be smart, 'tokunbo' or not

Even the local guy could have plans to marry another woman, if you work harder to gain insight an wisdom you can apply it to anything, whilst taking the easier route and categorizing guys can lead to stereotypes, misconceptions and lost chances, and still land you in trouble.

I actually expected this kind of post from a woman and not from a man.

lol,
