The problem is a lot of men are hypocrites.

When you are datting her, you spend money on her, you buy her the latest phone, latest designer clothes and bags, you indulge all her demands. Why do you think she would not want the same when you get married?
There are many good Nigerian ladies, but you guys don't go for them, becasue they are not the 'hot chicks'. They are well behaved, don't spend night with you in your hotel room. They have a clear sense of morality. Men find those ones borring. They want the hot chick with the big ass who will give them a wild time, when they are in town. You then expect that same loose girl to suddenly become the ideal wife when you take her abroad. To cook and clean and be obidiant. Dream on.
There are MANY succesful Nigerian marriages abroad. You just need to get a good lady, who is focused, and has good morals. She may not have the biggest ass, or perform the most tricks in bed, but she'll be your rock and strength and your home will be an Oasis of love and happines.

You can't have the "Nigerian type of marriage" in Nigeria sef today.


adeakin:
you cant have the Nigerian type of marriage abroad. The law favours women. There is incentive for her to dump you as government will give her free money and she also gets to tak your house lol. My advice to you only marry a lady you know before not a stranger, or you go cry. You can also try other Africans they are homely and gentle. They are not materialistic like our babes

Don't you discuss these things before tying the knot?

I know many married people in Canada and this is not the case.

The closest bad marriage I know is a guy brought a lady he had known for years, a lady who herself had studied abroad but went back to Nigeria. He started maltreating her after honeymoon. After a while, she got fed up and sent him out. Technically, the neighbours called the police on him when he was shouting at her; and she did not tell them to not remove him. Well after sleeping on diff couches, she told him to come back. Since then they have been living in peace and harmony.

adeakin:
nobody say everyone bad. But can you date everyone
I have lived in uk and Canada, let me tell you what some of our women do.
1- the ones based abroad have high taste and typically live above their salary, they can rent a house that takes 80% of their salary while men will typically rent the one that takes 35% of salary. They always want holidays and trips, cooking is seen as slavery to many of them. Any man wey marry them just dey marry wahala . You will even take loans to pay for ring, wedding and honeymoon

2. The women take abroad have chances to get free funding for course like nursing and IT. They later become richer or equal to the man . Then start to rub shoulder. Later they will say i dont need a man and divorce you.

3. Some will call police when una fight or quarrel. You as the man will be asked to leave the house temporarily or permanently. Some of the benefits are paid to the women eg child benefits. Some of our 9ja women spend it alone. Some demand you take care of all bills after you will have 200 dols as saving. While she invests her own salary of like 3k to 5k dols a month in Nigeria or her siblings.

Marriage is looking like a scam these days
Re: Marrying And Taking Her Abroad; A Regret? by cooooooks(m): 12:19pm On Dec 03, 2021
The law in Nigeria does not condone this "Nigerian marriage".

The society, sadly, still does and access to the law is limited a d expensive.

Kobojunkie:
The law and even society abroad makes a "Nigerian" marriage so many times harder to achieve out here than down there in Nigeria. undecided

The reason why a "Nigerian" marriage works the way it does in Nigeria is because society condones and allows it to thrive as it does down there. Out here, society moves as a pace that all but forces individuals to try to catch up in order to keep up. And so anything that doesn’t fit with the culture of society is quickly put under enormous stress to adapt/evolve or break. undecided

Poco, you know it's not "men".

This OP sounds like a child.

He thinks people are different?

Everybody has wahala.
pocohantas:
Oh please,

You Nigerian men whine too much.

Marry the ones there, una no gree.
Marry foreigners, another wahala.
Come back home and marry, wailing.

What exactly is happening in a marriage abroad that doesn’t happen here? Or you are afraid you can’t batter her, cheat and pursue her from the home you both built?

Anything you see Naija men complaining of, just know their wickedness has been checked.

The ones with clear conscience and good character might have their fears, but they don’t go on and on about it like this.

The way you guys complain of Naija women, one would think your relationships with foreigners last for long. Abi how many old Nigerian men have you seen with foreign wives? All you’ll be hearing is, I dated one Kenyan, Spanish, Polish, British, Finnish… Why you no marry am?

Just hope for a good partner. Love, respect, forgive and communicate. Even on Mars, you guys would weather the storm.

Evercurious:



Oga inasmuch as you re accommodating and caring ,pls learn and remember to be tough on some of your stands when dealing with women. The truth is that most women are naturally manipulative and you need to be tough to sail through... All this your attitude of ' I dont like trouble or wahala' wont help ooh. In fact i ve discovered that most people that act and speak the way you do end up receiving all the wahala from others. No one says you shld be a troublemaker but also learn not to take or accommodate trash too as you remain caring

You’re right though. Everything should be balanced.

Madam, which abroadians you dey talk to.

It is well o. This white stuff is just colonized mind and low self esteem.

Loreettaa:
Define "misbehave"

When you guys marry white women, you cook, clean, care for kids and still work and pay bills.
But when you take an African woman who has been marginalised all her life abroad and she realises that women are respected over there and demands more, is that "misbehave"?
You want amaka to go abroad and be spoiling her lovely nails cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner 3 times a day, 7 days a week?
Or you want Abisola who's barely getting any dicking from you, to be praying and fasting and not to go outside and look for some, LIKE YOU DO? You think it's like Nigeria where you can shame her into submission?

For most of you abroadians, we already know you prefer to keep a woman in Nigeria where your family can press her neck if need be.
The day chiamaka comes to obodo oyibo will be the death of your fragile ego.

I never asked her to that extent.

I want to be totally honest here OP and anyone reading this.
My ex wife left me cos I had on and off jobs but my family supports me cos am the man I saw disturbing messages on her phone ,well she was cheating and never apologized for it,I would have traveled when my papers came but u was newly married to here and my mom filed then when I was not married and advices I rather come with my family I had a girl as at that time,didn't know the change of status will take time to process again.

To cut the story short
She left me 4years ago with my 2kids trying to reach her but not picking any of my calls.
My aunt in the USA tells my mom that she has no idea of what God has done for her son (ME) if I have traveled with her my life wouldn't be d same as USA favours women than men.

My papers is Almost through now,but my sister got the option TRAVEL WITHOUT which means I will be traveling in some few months without her (she thinks I can't travel cos her name is there and can't change my status to divorce cos she doesn't want a divorce cos she wants to travel to America Lol.

Now I have a serious relationship she respects me alot but she has no idea I have my mom and siblings are citizens I just decided to keep her in the dark but she shows me love and most of all respect.

Don't know if this one changes. My friends in the US advice me when I come over I should settle for a whitey even though I wouldn't have a problem with papers cos when I get there i 3months I would have a resident permit.

Are Nigerian girls trust worthy? Well my uncle's took theirs wife's to the States and are still living happy with their kids. Maybe is just this generation

Women who don’t have a mind of their own can easily be influenced when in the wrong environment even if they are not bad themselves. The question is does she have a mind of he own as a respectful gal? Or she hasn’t met the right or rather wrong influence to trigger her terrible side?

U can know this by asking her certain questions and engaging her certain discussions to pick her brain and know her mindset of life and marriage.

Women are not attracted to men that aren't dominant even though they won't admit it just like you hv denied just now....this explains why women love men that beat them..... it's a confused gender....that's why they say never take advice on relationships from a woman. That friendship is good so long as the dominant component isn't completely taken away.

All the men where dey like my comment...I no talk say make una go begin beat woman in the name of dominance oh! Abeg

When you marry a wife, do you feel you own her more than she owns you?

You have no right to keep a woman where you want her to stay, while you stay faraway for long.
