Where Are The Quality Single Nigerian Men Hiding? by Ladyjide(f): 6:08pm On Aug 09, 2010
Maybe it is just me, but on my side of the world( USA) it seems that these days there are a lack of single, quality, honest Nigerian men out there!! A lot of men will say the same for us women as well!!!  The problem seems to be that there is not a lack of quantity these days, but truly of quality.  Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, but my question is where are they hiding, or do they no longer exist!! Will one have to settle in 2010?  Lets get the dialogue started!

I think the good guys do not approach women as easily as the bad ones. So I think its time you ladies do your research, discover and approach any guy you think is a good guy, rather than sitting down and waiting for any guy from anywhere to pick you up.

If I have my own money and job-- now what? I don't necessarily need you to bring that to the table,because I bring that and more!!! but at least give us something to work with, Meet me half way for GODS sake . I am all about helping my man to build them selves up, as that is what folks do in a relationship but i can't do all the work !!!! Now a days you cant even get a half quality NIGERIAN guy that is unemployed and with no money who treats you right- so whats the excuse now At the end of the day- my question remains the same, Where are the quality Nigerian men from these days?

Its a shame, have to catch a darn flight just to get a Good Naija man and import him in!!!
Re: Where Are The Quality Single Nigerian Men Hiding? by kokoye(m): 9:18pm On Aug 09, 2010
I will answer your question.

The 'quality' men (in your age range) you described were long hooked by the smart naija girls 9they caught them real early). Most of them are engaged or married.

When you see a guy you are interested in, you need to be bold and make that confident but subtle move. Most responsible naija guys here usually have other things on their minds other than marriage, so you have to make them KNOW you are the type that is meant for keeps.

goodluck.

Hold on to that thought to make urself happy. Meanwhile your naija mates / friends are getting married all over the world including the U.S.

I bet you would say the samething about u.k guys if this thread was created by a lady in the u.k

I never said I'd give up on the idea of finding a "quality" Nigerian man in the US, its just that based on my experiences which UK based Nigerians and US based Nigerians, they seem different. There are rubbish Nigerian guys in the UK as well, but I've never encountered any.
Re: Where Are The Quality Single Nigerian Men Hiding? by 1105(f): 9:57pm On Aug 09, 2010
No comments cos i dont know nothing about UK nigerian guyz or US nigerian guyz

All i know is that Nigerian guyz are awesome !!
Re: Where Are The Quality Single Nigerian Men Hiding? by chika98: 10:00pm On Aug 09, 2010
Grass is always greener on the other side.
Chics in the US say they are in the UK
Those in the UK say they are
Those in Nigeria say all the road leads to Nigeria. Just pick one really grin

Don't know whose thread I should pick here or respond to but generally speaking, most ladies take it for granted when they have a single young smart guy tending to their little details every time, what I mean is that, when you are with a woman and you love her like no other person, even when you treat her right, maybe its a syndrome now, but they actually believe you are too good to be true and then try seeking whats not lost in the first place, then come running back begging (dats a personal experience). Av got female cousins in the US who'd rather not marry in the US but Naija, and they still get their fingers burnt in the end. So, eff location, focus on getting the love of ur life, God will drive the person towards you, prayers allow you the inner ability to mark and identify the right guy. Just don't choke him.
dats all.

I get what you're saying and I'd never take a good Nigerian man for granted. I don't do anything to a man that I wouldn't want done to me. Its just that since there is such a huge Nigerian community in the UK, I tend to feel more at ease with things compared to here. Sometimes if I meet a Nigerian guy here [in the New York] it kinda feels like they don't embrace their Nigerian heritage, which kinda breaks my heart.
Re: Where Are The Quality Single Nigerian Men Hiding? by deniyor: 11:30pm On Aug 09, 2010
The quality ones are right in front of you but you are too blind (or picky) to see them. Same goes for naija guys in US always complaining abt the quality of naija women. I can't blame anyone cos I experienced it in my little town in this part of the world too. You can't tell me that you don't know at least 25 single young men there in the US. None of them good enof for you or you want to tell me there is not a single quality guy among the 25? What you consider lack of quality is what another person considers great quality so I think it boils down to your personal preference in your search for the perfect man. Of course we can't leave chemistry out too, ryt?
Re: Where Are The Quality Single Nigerian Men Hiding? by Nobody: 11:33pm On Aug 09, 2010
come over here and marry us. We hav been waitn 4 an Americana.me and my friends are nt China-made, we are Quality Jehova-made.lol
It's had 2 find them. Even some of them over there dont see gals there as quality n honest, ( wife material). They wil only date and would want 2 run behind and marry gals living in Nig. That you got money does nt mean a thing 2 them.it further scare them away.they dont wanna be under anybody. It might also be that where u reside isnt where u get 2 mix up wit a lot of em (pple) or dat u were 'stingy'- didnt allow some men 2 catch some fun.
You brobaby hav 2 buy a husband.check 'Moncky Market'.i went there last week 2 shop for some men for few of my unmarried cousines but some Quality Husbandary Men are out of stuck.i only found some short and disabled men.lol. grin

They've been snapped up by American women who know what they want and GO FOR IT not sit around playing hard to get.

That's rubbish, who plays hard to get?? I am not sure what the women you meet do, but not I! You might want to come with a better answer than that! I know what I want and have went for it both professionally and romantically so you say what now, ?

Don't mind them, that's why most of our men now go home to marry. I see it alot here in Houston Nigerian women that are clocking 40 and still looking for a husband.
