I think 99% of the posters are misunderstanding this Lady or can we put the blame on the poor academics in Nigeria?

There's is no where were the Poster stated that she can't date a man who is less financially bouyant as she is. What she is simply saying is he shouldn't dump the whole bills on her and be too relaxed.

If I read well, she actually said she doesn't even mind picking up a little more bills that she pays but at least he should bring something tangible to the table (like food, groceries and a few other bills). I don't in anyway think that's too much to ask for.

The only place where she was specific on the man is the tribe (Yoruba). Which later on she somehow agreed to date outside her tribe (I guess).

Why should a lady pray to be the wife to a man who totally relies on her for all the finances needed in the home.

That's so cruel and unimaginable.

I have dated ladies up to 5years old and well richer than me and I will beat my chest and raise my shoulders that not for one second have I demanded a kobo from them.

I do the little I can (without go out of my comfort zone) to provide and make them satisfied. If she makes any sort of demand and I can't afford it at that point I will come out whole heartedly and tell her I can't.

I have never felt inferior or had a complex because of her financial status.

I practically forced one to even buy a plot of land when I noticed a bulk of her earning were going on trinkets and other wasteful gadgets.

Make una free the poster abeg. I don't think she is asking for anything oit of this world as a lady.

Dude, you typed all these and you didn't bother to ask the most pertinent point: do you think ANY Nigerian men actually want her? If it's that hard for her, ask yourself what the problem is. Even ugly women get asked out on dates. So ask her what her REAL problem is.

desari: @tpia,

Tpia, i am not claiming to be bill gates or steve jobs. For a single woman at my age with no children, i do pretty well. If i meet a man a man that is at my financial level then that's great, but if not..i at least want him to be able to buy some stuff like food stuff...go half on the bills when we eat out e.t.c. I don't think i am asking for much. I am going based off a past relationship, where this bobo wanted me to take care of all things financial...needless to say i had to kick him to the curb. I find it hard to respect such men.

Regardless of the fact that i have lived in the U.S for quite few years I am still a naija woman, and i would love it if a guy i was in a relationship came to me of his own free will and said "babe here is some money" cook some fabulous ila asepo and some hot amala for me" instead my ex would want me to buy groceries with my money all the time so he can enjoy the food too. imagine that nonsense?? Thats when i decided no more "akushe folks" bobos have to be able to play their part financialy or they can keep it moving.
! Hw come all women are the same? If its a man who puts u in his hws and baby-sit u; I guess u will be very ok with that! Since all u women do is wait on a man to sit on the driver's seat! U can't do that for a guy, cos its a guy! I won't even as a guy wait on a lady to feed my fangs! But wats wrong in feeding a guy? If u re sincere with what u want then soonest u will find a man! Otherwise u will neva get one! I ve an uncle whose wife claim to be rich! Even though the husband kick his own ass to be the man of the house, the woman neva sees his part as anytin! I just hope ur not one of such women who are scared to spend their money; even for the childrens benefit!

@desari
You are in a foreign land and the odds that you'll meet such a man are rather small unless you task God for a miracle of course but in the interim it would be to your advantage if you can connect with folks here in Nigeria who can give you a heads-up on nice guys for you to date. If you schooled in Nigeria before you left for the States then connecting with your old schoolmates can also give you another avenue to explore meeting people, if not your schoolmates themselves their friends could be a pool to find what you are looking for.

As the good book says s/he that seeketh findeth, I wish you success on your quest (don't forget prayer helps).

From OP comment,she is an ecocentric kind of person and that alone is a disadvantage of being a good wife to Nigerian man.

Marriage should be build base on love,qualities,trust,ambition and not financial strength,educational qualification or tribe as marriage built on financial strength will never last the test of time.

I have seen highly successful women disguised as poor ladies just to find a man who truly love them for who they are and not what they are ( rich and successful ),that's just what I expected from the OP but making finance a focal point will certainly put all naija men off as our tradition demand a submissive and supportive wife and not a proud and vulgar wife.

For you to refers to all Naija guys you have seen in NYC as small boys and 149ers certainly shows why Naija men have chosen to stay away from you,you need to change your perception of what an idea man should be only then will you be able to attract a Nigerian man.

American friend of mine who is white and live in Woodburn,OR was in Nigeria recently to visit a boy she has been dating online for four years and will be coming back in August,the guy is not rich or on same level with th lady but she love and to be with him. The guy is also not searching for papers as the case with some Naija guys because he is not even ready to leave Nigeria and hardly accept anything from the white lady for the four years they have been dating and that's why the lady love him so much because she never believe that there are still good guys in Nigeria who not after money,visa or papers.

My candid advice is that you put your financial ego aside and let man love you as a woman and not as a rich woman, goodluck.

@Lord Reed

Thanks for your comments. Long distance relationships are tough, especially with taking time off work to develop a relationship with your partner. Sometimes i wish i had never left naija.
Oh well, i will try your suggestion and see what comes of it.

I hope to meet your requirement someday! Until then, good luck.

But the truth is you sound really SELFISH...and what made you think that the man at your financial level will not be as selfish as you are?
