hello ladies and gents,
i want to hear your views in dating someone who is not from west Africa. A good example is myself, am not from west Africa but in love and committed to a west African guy whom i intend to marry very soon. my family have no issues about me marrying a non east African guy but the pro is his fellow west Africans they have issues with me being not from west. now that they hear our intentions they try to tell me stuff e.g my man being a cheat which is not true in order to break us up. Our bond is very strong that we don't take notice of who is saying what. , another thing is when they see us together they always complement on how i look coz i always make sure i look good at any time but when they find out am not from west , mmhh thats when jealousy starts , To me love has no boundaries. so please ladies and gents tel me your views and experiences you have had on dating a non west African person .

thanks you all.

Thanks guys for al ur advice, i have to wake up and face the facts that he wants me for sex only. i have decided to let him go even though it Will hurt really bad , better sooner than late and i truly hope by the grace of god I'll meet my better half , Honestly sex with west African is better than east African Men. so big up to all the west Africans out there.

Hello nairaland,
  I am in deep confusion with a guy am dating so i desperately need Ur genuine advice. Am original from east Africa living in UK,  before i met this guy i was in a serious relationship with a guy from my home country for 5yrs and  we parted ways 2 yrs ago. i stayed one yr without having anyone in my life as i was busy studying and trying to finish my degree., which i did in the end thanks to the almighty God. After that i told myself its high time i allow or get involved with someone. now here is the confusion,  i met this guy (his original from west Africa) early last yr. we started talking then he told me his situation that he was married and his wife had recently passed away from breast cancer which i was very sympathetic and he truly showed that he was still hurting.  we carried on then one day he invited me to his home. being a nice, honest guy i told myself y not,  so i went and things got out off hand so we ended up making love which i don't regret it at all( Yes i used protection) . it was wow mind blowing,  something i never experienced  before.  now its been one yr since we started dating ,  i truly want to b with him but he claims  his not ready to love someone else  coz he still has feelings for his wife which i don't seem to understand coz whenever i try to put a distance in our relationship he comes on me like fire showing he cares and loves me.
everythin else is good apart from him hidding things from his friends and fam that he's not involved with anyone which hurts my feelings real bad coz i know deep down i deserve to be loved and not just for sexual pleasure coz thats how it seems to me that am more of a sexual partner.  on the other hand there are guys who have shown interest in me ,  wanting to marry me and al but i turn them down because of him,  ples ples advice me am soo madly in-love and confused. Ur advice Will help me make a wise decision.

Thanks u al. B blessed.

Being a Tanzanian babe. am so proud of my home boy but not proud of what he did to his wife. thats not how Tanzanian men treat their women. so i truly hope he'll b able to patch things out with her and use the money wisely, knowing tz cheeks where there is money they come running like bees. congrats Richard and big up Tanzania.

east Africans have got the full package, brains, beauty, hardworking etc.
Marry one and u wont be disappointed.
