my brother - pressure no good ooo. a little pressure is ok but when you live your life always trying to meet up other people’s standards then - then you living on the edge. There is nothing in this life than peace of mind and I won’t advise anyone to use their own hands to give themselves hypertension

compared to East African ladies - especially Kenyan chics in America - naija girls are terrible - if you ever dated a professional Kenyan girl in America- if a naija girl greets you, you won’t answer her

I say Kenyan because someone may say I just dislike African chics, I don’t - just that the misbehavior of naija girls in America stinks to high heavens

I understand your perspective. I have some Kenyan American friends and they act more cool than Nigerian American girls. They also appear to be ”less competitive” and they do not relentlessly pursue success/money/wealth/fame like most Nigerians here. They are always okay with whatever they achieve and stuff like that.

But there will definitely be some cultural differences. Can she join you in cooking the food you love? Will she eat it with you? Can you eat her Chapati? And some other cultural differences like that.

bizhop01:
is common to meet Nigerian-American girls who eat only Nigerian food(they don't like American food despite being born and raised there)

Nonsense, you can only tell your village people this

I’ve met many of such Nigerian-American girls at my school. There are many of their likes in my cousins’ church in Buckhead as well. Some of them even run some sort of Nigerian restaurants here.

BornRicch:
OP.. I really want to know because I keep hearing that majority of successful Nigerian Americans are the 5% or 10% of the Elite? How true is this please.

The average Nigerian-American is relatively successful. Has college degrees, a good-paying job, and cool kids. Statistically, Nigerian-Americans are the most educated in the US. Most black doctors in the US are also of Nigerian descent. The statistics go on and on!

Although, there are probably those who are struggling but I have never come across any Nigerian American who does not have at least a college degree or who is unable to meet his or her basic needs.

Profkenny1:
Nigga, they are YOUR sisters, not mine!

I know my sisters when I see them

Lol. What did they do to you? Quite a number of them looked down on me when I first arrived here but I still see them as my sisters regardless of their initial childish behavior.

Profkenny1:
I agree...Nigerian women (both in Nigeria and diaspora) are at the bottom of the SMV (sexual market value) hierarchy. I knew this when I started dating non-Nigerian women. It's even interesting that these women also avoid Nigerian women! LOL..... I would take an Ethiopian or Ugandan woman over these unpleasant creatures!

Why are you dragging your sisters on the floor like this?

SIRTee15:
Yeah...I thought as much...
I was like don't I recognise british accent anymore...

She’s not British. She’s Nigerian American. She studied in Atlanta but she’s currently in Los Angeles with her sister.

1Sharon:
Yes, I will admit the American born Nigerians are a completely different species of people to the Nigerians in England.

How? In what way?

madridsta007:
Hahahaha
I won’t cast them lol.

Baba, give us the gist abeg.

madridsta007:
The Nigerian American men generally do not look at their Nigerian-American female counterparts for the said reason.

A white/Latino woman will make the effort to cook... An African non-Nigerian would do the same thing.
The craze of Nigerian-British girls no be here. It’s no longer a London thing. Same craze in Birmingham, Leicester, etc, in those girls.

Abeg, what's this their craze all about?

SIRTee15:
What happened to nigerian American men.....
Or those ones no dey marry or na white women den dey follow....
At least the nigerian british girls marry their male colleagues very well here in uk...
Even though their own craze no be for here....

Lol. What makes them crazy.

cray91:
no mind them. story story. all naija girls regardless of where they are secondly nationalized too na hungry bastards with entitlement mentality

even if they have money them must chop your own

E dey run for our blood ni for them to be leeches

blame it on One of our Ribs that was removed to create that Gender.

If i was Adam i would have told God to not worry about my lonliness that i prefer to be alone and to dey do my SOAPY for garden of eden jejely

Most Nigerian-American girls are not leeches. They don't even want you to pay for their food or drinks when they hang out with you.

humilitypays:
You forgot the most important part:


Majority of them are ugly and you know successful Nigerian guys prefer them sweet sixteen, sexy chicks with flat tummy like rope, straight full legs and big ass like Dangote trailer and moderate standing boobs to augument



The only thing a successful Nigerian guy need from a girl is her physical beauty, sexiness and some brains in case him give her belle make she no born dumebi

You are wrong. The majority of them are not ugly. In fact, most of them look beautiful.

smallsmall:
Now that is somebody who knows WhatsUp!
Wa'Gbaayi, as we say in Naija.
Nothing in this world will make me marry from such demographics as 'Nigerian girls, born and raised in the US'.
Overated, Over-pamperred and eternally selfish, devoid of culture, morals and manners. Abeg, l reject such for a wife, for my children sef.

Are you based in the US? Your comment is too general and stereotypical. Your experience with a few cannot represent the behavior of girls within the entire Nigerian community here.

ibkayee:
Lol!

I recall always subconsciously identifying as Nigerian before British, it's only now that I 'remember' that I am technically British lol

But honestly, you are Nigerian first before anything else. You could have been born in any other country but your Nigerian DNA/ancestry is the only thing that is unchangeable.

KingZaddy:
The last thing I want to do is go abroad and represent the stupid nation...



I'd rather represent Iran and Iraq

I also thought the same until I moved abroad. You can never hide your nationality and heritage. Even if you get an American passport tomorrow, the American passport will still show Nigeria as your place of birth.

abbey621:
What I'm referring to is the summation or average. I live in Atlanta, do you know how expensive it is to eat only 9ja food in America?....lol

I'm currently around Buckhead in Atlanta and I know of families here that eat only Naija food every day. When living with my relatives in Buckhead, we eat ”Pando yam” virtually every day. My brothers barely eat America food at all. They mostly eat the Nigerian stuff they get from the African store and farmers’ market.

Admitwithschola:
Really? Nice one. This is a good thread. These are things any self-respecting guy MUST watch out for, just as any self respecting lady must watch out for longer lasting traits of a good man. I no say make dem no find tall, dress sense, handsome and ambitious oo. These are good, but surely not the lasting traits that nourish a good marriage.

He is actually wrong. Nigerian-American girls are not troublesome at all. They will rather ignore you than to struggle with you. He is mistaking African/Black - Americans for Nigerian-Americans.

Depressed101:
there is this my friend that keeps posting thier fight on his whatsapp status come see fight, they even pass out. And they don't care

Those are not Nigerian American girls. Those are usually black Americans.

Miracle112:
OP is 100% correct.
Currently m dating a Nigerian raised in American Girl and believe me babe is good.
Everything Op said is true

Are you based in the US or you dey run the package remotely?

abbey621:
I'll give you my own experience having lived and worked in the USA for over a decade now. THEY ARE THE WORST! The write up that they visit 9ja every six month is pure fantasy....Many don't even know what the airport in Lagos is called. Many don't even have a Nigerian passport or know how to get a Nigerian visa. Forget about the celebs you mentioned and focus on the majority, the average Nnkechi or Kemi held down with student loans and entry level jobs, these ones will gladly eat eba or jollof but will never give up their Red Lobster or other American delicacies.

Furthermore, I've discovered that most of them only like to be Nigerian by name but when it comes to actually doing things that encompasses the Nigerian female such as respecting elders/in-laws, taking care of the home, investing back in 9ja for the future they FAIL astonishingly.

Last but not least, whether it is a Nigerian girl picked from 9ja or one who came here as a child or was born here, individuality matters. There's no general consensus, just like we have many mad people that are whites or black Americans, same goes for Nigerian females. Sometimes it is like rolling dices, you might roll double six and hit the jackpot but most times you end up with numbers closer to 1

Which part of the US do you live in? I never said all Nigerian Americans have Nigerian passports but I said the ones I have met and the ones around me all go to Naija every year. I have also met some who only eat Nigerian food. It all ultimately boils down to the upbringing tho.

AniOmaa:
Academic success/achievements aside (which was never in dispute for the Nigerian-American girls, even though it applies to every Nigerian including the ones that just immigrated), I've lived long enough in the US, as well as dated lots of Naija-American girls through my college years to know they are massively overrated. I have my reasons for saying that, but for now I'll just say I'm more likely to either go to Naija and find me a wife... or at most marry a Ghanaian or any other African girl born here in the United States than settle with a Nigerian girl out here.

Over-rated? What makes you think so?

TripleOh7:
I think Nigerian-Nigerian women are ok.

They just need to stop bleaching pleeeaaaseee...

Many of them bleach and that's a turn off.

Dark skin is so cool.

Modified.

Rilwayne001:
Those ones born and bred in UK is madder

You can create a thread on that.

Omoluabi16:
African american women also known as akata

Nigerian -Americans are culturally different from African - Americans.

airsaylongcom:
Spoilt everything by saying they are more Nigerian than us.

If you know what it is to be a Nigerian living in Nigeria you'd never ever say someone living anywhere abroad is more Nigerian.

Can a Nigerian American wear a mask previously used by someone because he cannot afford to buy his own? Can they drive on barely tarred roads and become theoretical mechanics able detect fault by sound?

You need to read the post again. I never said they are more Nigerian than you. I said they are ”more Nigerian than you think”.

Majestic77:
OP. I heard they can be very stubborn as well. Like the ones we see on social media fighting each other every day. Or those ones, African Americans?. I would want to visit America someday as we don't have too many "Australian Nigerians here, if I can use that word

Those are not Nigerian-American girls. Nigerian American girls don't really have time for troubles.

salford1:
The Girl in white top is British though.

No. That's Fehinti. She's Nigerian-American and she just graduated from GSU in Atlanta.

Terryishere:
Actually you are whatever your tribe is not Nigerian which was named by a white girl.

Well, when you are in the diaspora, people care less about your ethnic group. They only see you as someone of Nigerian descent. Most countries in the world have shady histories. Even some founders of America were slave owners, murderers and imperialists. So, no be only Naija get K-leg.

APCdestroyer:
They're as good as side chicks


A wife in Nigeria and a wife in American seems cool

That’s not gonna be easy. These are not Oyinbo or Black American girls who don't really understand Naija. Nigerian-American girls usually have families like cousins, grandparents, aunties and uncles back home. So, if you are dating one of them and you decide to play her - you may play into the hands of her relatives back home.

And then, this is 2020. We men need to leave behind all these naughty tricks and start doing better. Faithfulness is cute and romantic.

punisha:
OP u also missed out the part where these people can fight. Even the weakest of them here in Nigeria becomes a wrestler once in America.
They become slightly violent and can be impatient.

You missed the post. The Nigerian-Americans we are talking about here are Nigerian girls who were born and raised in the US. I'm not talking about those that migrated to the US from Nigeria as adults - those ones are usually described as immigrants. But the children of these immigrants are often described as ”first-generation Nigerian Americans”. There are big differences. That was why I used first generation Nigerian-Americans like Tomi Adeyemi and Nneka Ogwumike as examples.

DominusPrime:
Some men will use this as an opportunity to bash Nigetian girls forgetting that even they are not up to the standard these girls want in a man. Same way some broke ugly girls set standards for themselves just because of what they see and hear on social media.

No one should bash Naija-based girls or guys. Life is a process.
But the reality is: within the larger American fabric, most of these Nigerian-Americans identify as NIGERIANS within America because people know there is no way their roots are in America - not when your names give you away as someone of Nigerian descent.

If you watch video interviews of famous Nigerian-Americans like Tomi Adeyemi or Nneka Ogwumike, they usually introduce themselves as Nigerians even though they are Americans by birth and upbringing. Some of my cousins were born in North America and they’ve lived here for over 25years now and some days ago: I saw how one of my cousins introduced herself to a Zoom meeting as ”a Nigerian who grew up in the US”. Being Nigerian or African is not as simple as most people think. Our ancestral roots are really strong.

In essence, when we use terms like ”Nigerian girls or Nigerian guys”, we cannot limit it to only Nigerians who live in Nigeria - to a very large extent - from the prism of the global community: such terms describe Nigerians in the diaspora as well.

The Ogwumikes
