I think she's got the cultural differences nailed on. To be honest, it would be difficult for a Nigerian man who has lived a greater part of his life in Nigeria, to share domestic duties with his (Nigerian) wife. After all, he paid a substantial bride price (including stuff on the 'list'); so to him the 'wifely' duties should strictly be left to the woman.
But this is not what the video is about. Basically what she was trying to say was that firstly from her own experiences with some Nigerian men they seem to be a certain way and also want a certain type and she does not fit into that type ( eg her strong personality, age and esp height)and she is okay with that. She is a strong headed woman and if she feels that something is wrong or she is unhappy about something she will let the guy know and a lot of Nigerian guys don't like that too. They prefer docile timid women. She said she is not desperate and also not the type to rush for marriage and just because of age constraints and in the process settling/giving up who she is and what she believes. She is okay with being single even of it means that she has to 'harvest her eggs' grin grin. She said she knows there are good Nigerian men out there namely her Dad, bro, brother in law etc. The second video gives a clearer picture of what she was trying to convey.

The bolded part is still a cultural thing. Like I said earlier, the man (if he grew up in Naija) has the mindset of him being the alpha and omega of the house. There could be some exceptions though, but they could be statistically insignificant.

As for the men being intimidated by her height, it only shows that they are insecure. If I were 5'7" I wouldn't even think of dating her grin

Re: Dating Nigerian Men by Nobody: 8:11pm On Apr 25, 2015
But the age difference between me and this lady would be deal-breaker. She is like 7 years older; not that I would be dating someone similarly younger than me though. I and my gf are almost the same age.

There is hope after all. She just needs to meet more men like you. Btw I like your profile pic. So sweet smiley

It's a good thing she knows exactly what she wants but at 33 she's not a child and shouldn't be hung up on Nigerian men. Our men are what they are and no tribe/race is perfect. Sure our men have their imperfections, but who doesn't?

She can go marry a Black American if she likes. Why is she so hung up on our men? Na by force to marry? If she's meeting the wrong type, then she should either expand her dating pool (like she knows she should), or she should take a deeper look within herself to find out what sort of person she portrays herself as or the message she gives off about her person

She says she's not trying to bash our men but her video isn't far off from it. Let her find who'll make her happy and quit with the slagging off.

Her comment annoys me jor.

I hear you on age, height and so called strong personality.

*sighs*. I date all kinds of men.

I consider myself to have a strong personality, but I think you just need to have proper balance.

There is a proper time for everything; time to be strong and time to be weak. Time to lead, time to follow. Time to be smart and time to be dumb. Time to speak up, time to shut up. Time to laugh, time to cry. Time to work, time to have fun. Time to wear pants, time to wear skirt. Get the point?

Extreme of anything is not good-for most of life's issues. IMHO

Too bad she came across bad Nija men, but then like Efe said every woman to her own, its her choice. I know of AA that make our so 'bad nija men' look like angels. We have the good, bad and the ugly in every part of the world. She can make her choice. It is her life.
