“There’s no true love in the UK” – Lady cries out, advises Nigerians to bring their partners abroad

A Nigerian lady has sparked reactions on social media after claiming that genuine love is difficult to find in the United Kingdom, urging Nigerians in relationships to hold on to their partners back home.

According to the lady, many people relocate abroad expecting to find lasting relationships, only to end up disappointed by their experiences.

In her words, she said:

“I’ve come to realize that there’s no true love in this UK. You will cry in Gege’s voice. If you have somebody in Nigeria and the relationship is serious, go back and bring the person over here.”

She stressed that her advice applies to both women and men, insisting that those who already have committed partners in Nigeria should not risk losing them while searching for love abroad.

She explained that her warning was based on what she has personally observed, suggesting that many people abroad struggle to find genuine love.

“The same thing applies to the men too. There’s no true love in the UK. Wake up from sleep,” she added.

Her remarks have since generated mixed reactions online. While some Nigerians living abroad agreed with her experience, others argued that healthy relationships can be found anywhere, provided both partners are committed.

The viral video has reignited conversations about dating, long-distance relationships and the realities of finding love after relocating overseas.

She don see wen!



xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She is actually saying the truth, though very few ones are lucky. Nothing beats getting married in Nigeria or have a “true love” before travelling out of Nigeria. (Please I am talking about those that already have the true love before travelling, not those abroad surfing the internet for true love)

Many of the Naija girls traveled with the mentality of getting a man who could settle their bills like it is done in Nigeria, mbah! That does not happen in the western world.

Some ladies even travel with the mentality of marrying white men, the whites hardly have the marriage mentality these days, they just want partnership and not marriage. Some of the whites I met said marriage is “old-fashioned”, typical of the older generation and not fancied by this generation.

In Nigeria, ladies enjoy a lot of attention from men on the street. In UK, men could hardly gaze on girls for long or approach ladies on the street to start requesting for phone numbers, hence it’s going to be an assault. So everyone dey on his/her lane.

Bad advice

No sensible Nigerian man would make that mistake after watching and seeing how the same women our innocent brothers took over there from Nigeria later turned to iron monkeys and Scorpion queens, only to destroy everything they had suffered to build over the years

Even the idea of coming down here to marry is f9 on it's own . Nigerian bannies wey no dey use ear hear or see "abroad man" . They'll only end up pretending so that they can escape from Nigeria, only for them to reach there and unveil and unleash the demons in them

Very very terrible advice!

If love is that important to you in the UK, and you are unwilling to step outside your Nigerianness to embrace love in whatever form or shade, then I suggest you move back to Nigeria to find and keep love. We have seen, numerous times, mind you, how people who reason love as she does end up miserable and in despair for it. I see no reason why anyone would think to continue repeating the same mistakes of the past, expecting something different each time.

Perhaps the men are wiser now and won't lose any part of their properties

Because you know see who go carry all your liability like cross like dem dey do for Nigeria..

Aunty grow up and become responsible

my guys wey care to listen, when she say true love she is referring to mumu men that would take care of all her financial responsibilities like she used to enjoy in Nigeria. My sister you better go work many shifts like your fellow guys else you go cryyyyy in gehgeh's voice

There was but the feminists initiated an obnoxious law and used it to quench what was left!

Wetin Nigeria Bannies do you ooooooooo mucheche Hahaha 😂

Some people are just funny

What is th definition of true love

Some may see true love like Cinderella fairy tale where a prince charming would come and marry a peasant girl, carry her to his castle, and they would live happily every after

Fa! Fa! Fa! Fawol!!

Love is transactional! Suck that up

Love is give and take!

With the rise of feminism, you cannot act like a modern woman with masculine energy and expect a man to be traditional, providing and caring without give back to the guy what a traditional woman should provide.

What does a traditional man need?

He needs acceptance, respect, peace and appreciation.

Give a responsible man these things and see how he would go far to give himself for that woman

Unfortunately the only thing a lot of women can give is sex which is cheap because u don't need to do or earn anything to give sex.

Moreso, both parties enjoy it so why should it be made to feel like it's only the man enjoying it

The pressures of the society there does not allow you to have true love except you are true to yourself. The West is a plantation where you are expected to slave your life out till they use and dump you in retirement. Of course, you will get the benefits of the infrastructure and welfare but they will remind you nothing is free. It is the irony of having so much but not intriscincally happy with it. That is why love is transactional in the west. Remember, love don't cost a thing!

This one kpòmò don see shege!

Is marriage by force
Na so I do wedding with one yeye girl. Com leave me go Uk. Over 6 years now I hear say she never marry. She never born. The woman Wey I knack since she left don born 2 for me and we Dey live happy together. Good for u people

If you have somebody in Nigeria and the relationship is serious, go back and bring the person over here

There is no society in most western countries. I just posted on the lady in US who was paying the Nigerian young man for love. There is a reason she pays for that companionship. Society is the bedrock of every nation so if you like import people from Nigeria, when their eye clear, it will end in divorce.

Read below 👇
The foundational structure of traditional African society makes marriage and relationships highly resilient due to a core cultural framework of collectivism, community accountability, and the involvement of the extended family. In many African cultures, marriage is not viewed merely as a private contract between two individuals, but as an alliance between two larger family networks and communities. This creates an intrinsic scaffolding for relationships that modern Western societies, which heavily prioritize individualism and personal autonomy, generally do not possess.


In Africa, when a couple faces conflict, the extended family acts as an immediate, built-in mediation board. Elders and relatives from both sides step in to counsel, de-escalate, and guide the couple toward reconciliation. The community provides emotional, financial, and childcare support, lowering the structural stress placed on the relationship.

Maya Angelou spoke and wrote extensively about these exact concepts, particularly drawing from her firsthand experiences living in West Africa during the 1960s. As an African American woman who moved to Ghana, she wrote about the stark differences between the isolated, hyper-individualistic Western family structure and the deeply communal, supportive nature of African society. She explored these dynamics primarily in her fifth autobiography, All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes, and across various interviews

In the West, the nuclear family operates largely in isolation. If a couple experiences severe marital distress, they must often rely on expensive external professionals (like therapists or lawyers) or handle it entirely alone. Without a structural community safety net, personal friction quickly burns out the partnership.


In a famous 1973 interview on Black vs. White womanhood, Angelou explicitly contrasted how women's roles dictate relationship survival.
She argued that the traditional Western man often treats the woman as a "decoration"-someone beautiful but ultimately superfluous to the essential functioning of the state or survival. Because the relationship is built on this fragile, superficial romantic ideal, it easily fractures when the romance fades.

She noted that historically and culturally, the Black woman has never had the luxury of being superfluous. In African and African- diaspora structures, women are viewed as essential, foundational partners in survival, labor, and community building. Relationships work because they are rooted in mutual necessity, shared struggle, and tangible utility, not just fleeting romantic feelings.


Sociological analyses of Angelou's poetry and prose show that she frequently relied on metaphors like "Social group is a fabric" and "Nation is a family". She pointed out that in Western societies, this fabric has been torn apart by capitalism and individualism, leaving people isolated. In contrast, traditional African societies maintain a tight weave where individual actions are strictly accountable to the collective whole.

How u take know you know her before . Laugh win kill me

Nope,my lady,I beg to disagree

True love full UK,but unfortunately na the ladies and their woke lifestyle be the problem.

Too much expose isn't truly good for an African (Nigerian)lady.

Come back to Nigeria then.

It is the truth in some cases, not in all cases. These stuff are not set in stone. I know many couples abroad that met each other abroad and are waxing stronger every day and I know several that even came to America together as a couple and are no longer together. People just love to generalize. Human beings are not mechanical devices with predictable patterns, even twins have totally different characters.

Letting the world know she just entered UK.

True love dey UK just like it is anywhere in the world.

lol "There is no true law in the Uk" But people are developing meaningful relationships everywhere. It depends on what you are attracting.

Don't be overbearing, or set standards that you cannot provide. To find true love is not hard, be a nice pleasant person. Maybe you thought one white man or rich man will come and upgrade you Or you read too much books. Think about it, how did people find love in the years before.

If any girl marry in the UK or Canada, na spirits help am. A single lady is not suppose to japa without marriage

Sometimes I wonder if exposing Nigerians to the internet is not a big mistake.

Them no dey tell person.

Look at all those who travelled to the UK. How many Naija ladies have you seen get married?

should worry more of the fact that this will soon be the case here in nigeria. Feminists and most guys raised by single uncivilized mums are gradually making young half-baked educated youths see marriage as a sham. Once the APC govt is booted out, things will change for the better. Nigeria use to have good morals and regard towards life and environment but bad govt introduced harsh economy and made everyone scamper for scrumbs and settle for less. If our govt is doing well, wetin we for Dey find go UK go Dey learn unhealthy marriage system?

Maybe she should look for her husband in the friendzone instead of being silly. 🙄
