Whatever you wrote here & also in your initial post completely ignores the fact that Nigeria is highly traditional and those roles which are defined and expected of us in the 80s and are still expected of us today in 2023. We can all summersault 100 times and It won't change anything for both genders. In Nigeria. Do you what is funny? This same type of analog love is what people in Western countries miss & they always cry about how they miss Lagos men & how Lagos men take care of them the most, I suggest you should invest more time in watching British black women podcasts. Watch programmes that explore more of black women outside Nigeria. Go on Instagram, see what women are saying about Lagos men. You'll be shocked.

Nairaland is a bubble dear, big bubble.

Interesting... Any heads up on names of some of those podcasts and programs? Is the dating market in the UK that bad for black women? Why don't they marry non-black men?

[i]"Marry a typical Nigerian Man at your own peril"

When I type these words, it's not from a place of hate towards men ( I don't hate anybody) It is from careful analysis of marriages to Nigerian Men which mostly lack genuine love, empathy and kindness. Nigerian Marriages are mostly driven by "needs" and "means" to an end. Too systematic and unnatural and the one with the highest bargaining chip gets the most benefit.

Our mothers didn't teach us enough about Men. They didn't know either until they got married, unfortunately they are still learning about Men too. That is why the popular saying "Ile oko ile eko ni" (Your husband house is a school) is usually the soothing balm to unfavourable experiences a wife has with her husband. One question I always ask myself when I hear these words as parting words of advice for young wife is. Does that mean she is getting married into a strange,unknown and possibly unfavourable world? Why represent her husband as an unending course? And will she ever graduate and be relieved of painful lessons?. Ask these women these questions and they will shake their heads in mockery but the truth is, They weren't taught enough about the Men they are getting married to. How would they when they didn't know who they are either. To understand another person there must be a certain level of self awareness you have reached yourself. This way you have enough level of intelligence to be a perfect judge of character. But when a woman believe all she needs to be is a good cook and good konji reliever then all she will seek is a man who has Kitchen and bed.


Men are the worst in this joke of an institution. Configured to believe all they need to posses is Financial ability to provide. The upbringing of the typical Nigerian Man is very very wrong. Trained with little to no empathy,kindness, self care, sense of belonging, self love but burdened with sense of responsibility brought up like a robot to "provide" only. Most Nigerian men are robotic minded, unable to connect emotionally without aide yet this men are expected to naturally see their brides as a part of themselves. Wishful thinking if you ask me. And when some men luckily achieve this, the society (Men and Women) mock him. Aside this, they don't readily know what they want and are easily tossed by the society.

We create a society devoid of emotional engagement but want the benefits emotions birth. Compassion and affections brings liberty, a man who lacks these will see his wife as his slave and property, he gets to do with her what he seem best and not what is good for her. We really have a long way to go as a Society.

You all claim that "Nigerian girls are no good and have nothing to offer", so why do Men get angry /panicking if we comply to it?.


Birdbyrde440:


The kind of men you all meet, you lack spiritual understanding, western educated are made compulsory blind spiritually.

You want a selfless man, are you selfless?

You had male friends early on in life, you fornicated excessively and you thought there will be no consequences because Jesus died for you? I don't have any pity for you and your likes...

Any woman that has had more than 3 sexual partners before marriage has a higher likelihood of not last long in marriage. This doesn't apply to men because men where created different.

You need soul searching.

How funny for you to describe me like you know everything about my life. Stop comparing me with your sister OK .

Point of corrections I don't do and have never do a Nigerian Man OK. They hardly turn me on both in body and character. So that's makes it 0exes and no body counts.

Thank you Oga Francis.

Sorry about the generalization, can I say 99.9% men? grin
We Nairalanders and 99.9% cheesy grin


Stop worrying, just be the best you can be character-wise, respect wise (Nigerian men don't joke with respect from their woman), look good, dress well, make yourself approachable, be friendly when necessary, and don't be too greedy. Expect less and pray to God for the best and the grace to finish well and to make right choices and believe me, you will get married to a wonderful man.



Don't let negative stories of some married ladies or guys deceive you into believing that most marriages are rocky, na lie.


In Nigeria, marriage still favors women more than men if the woman marries the right man.


A man loses a lot once he marries than he gains, highest most Nigerian men gain in marriage in Nigeria marriage setting is heir (children) to continue his lineage and this is one of the paramount things most Nigerian men desire from marriage.


But a Nigerian lady that marries the right man is guaranteed of:

1.) Lifetime financial security without worries; whether she works and earns money or not doesn't matter again.

2.) Guaranteed safe sex; of course women love sex more than men, they are only good in hiding or holding their urge for it more than men, but will unleash the sexual demon in them once they marry the right man.


3.) Guaranteed of security, shelter and self respect till death


4.) Guaranteed of the joy that comes with being a happily married woman with her own family


5.) She is guaranteed of having a defender, a protector, a provider, a helper, a warrior, a champion and a soulmate for life


6.) plus many other benefits I cannot just list here.



So like I said my sister, be positive don't be pessimistic about marriage, and leave the rest to God and your destiny okay.



I wish you all the best, God will surprise you with a good man, just be the best lady ready to be the best woman to the man that will come your way.

Re: Why I May Not Marry A Nigerian Man (opinion) by Dancebreaker: 2:16pm On Nov 11, 2023
Nigerian men may be terrible but from my observation 9ja women are just about the worst I have seen.

The most unfaithful set of women. (No unfaithful guy has the right to complain)
Bad/toxic manners.
Sense of entitlement.
Hardly bring anything to the table even when she works.

All the above rubbish their cooking and mothering skills.

Way less than 10% of 9ja women make good wives.

I have friends traumatised by wives' infidelity, dishonesty, diabolic practices and lately in diaspora, using their kids to punish ex-hubbies. Not minding impact of denying access on the kids. Men often refuse to go to court to protect the kids. Women have no such scruple.

The FEW good ones are REALLY good but majority don't deserve any relationship at all. You only have the right to complain about 9ja men if you are one of the very few good 9ja women.

To my mind, if 9ja women are the only ones left, marriage should be scrapped. Period.

If I can roll back time, I won't touch any 9ja woman with a barge poll. The most terrible beings.

The danger of a single story. Do your research and you would find out that in many cases, the 'wife' is a huge problem that the gentlemanly husband has to put up with. When you as a man want equality with your woman, she perceives it as weakness and wants to assert dominance and authority.

2). She can't stay long in one place for too long, also shows it's community property, no one should make it personal.
