You go America finish come here dey talk nonsense. Because it is how Americans do does it mean it must be universal ![](/faces/huh.png) Let Americans do their thing, let Nigerians in Nigeria do their own. Crispels: ON A FINAL NOTE:
Dating abroad is totally different from dating in Nigeria. There are lots of cultural differences and you must really understand these differences before shooting any shot - otherwise: you will make terrible mistakes that may ruin your reputation, mental health and growth. You may even be hated and ghosted by certain people. In America for instance, dating apps is a big deal and things happen so fast - compared to Nigeria where on the average, things take longer.
If you are a Nigerian guy and you think it is the sole responsibility of your girlfriend(wife) to cook and take care of the family - then your stupi**d patriarchy mentality will fail you big time abroad. Most Nigerian - American girls dislike some Nigerian guys (particularly those who grew up in Nigeria) due to this kind of patriarchy and “male dominance” mentality. Many Nigerian - American girls as a result of strong upbringing by their families can cook really well(even our egusi and other Naija food) but they will hate you if you make it look like it’s their responsibility to cook for you all the time. You must also get to the kitchen - do the dishes, wash the meat, clean the tables and even cook some food as well! Everything is 50-50 in America!!! Your wife(or even girlfriend) is not your slave and it’s high time most Nigerian guys(even those based in Ibadan, Uyo, Kano and Enugu) start realizing this.

this is more realistic than the initial and counter threads. however the "unrealistic" targets as per settling down, set by young Nigerian females, especially on the American continent (it's to a lesser degree in Europe and Asia from personal observation) largely stem from poor company of friends. while some break free of their self box with time and experience, others see it through. this still doesn't guarantee a lasting relationship cum marriage for anyone. we all just need to continue to better ourselves and make sure you are taking the path you really choose.
I believe this topic has been overly flogged, there's no need overstretching detail. 2 Likes |

BISFOYAT: We Nairalanders had treated this issue yesterday. My BROTHER I tire ooooo. Although it's a serious issue but not more serious than issues in Nigeria.
The BEST ADVICE: In the US remains MARRY or CLEAVE to the Lady that loves and cherishes you more than you love her. When you marry her, you will realize your love for her will increase to surpass hers 4u. Try it and Call me back. With her you are almost out of all FEMINISTIC TROUBLES in the US.
The Moment police arrives here na the MAN dem dey pick. Next, you are HOMELESS.
BUT the LADY that LOVES U, will almost never try such. Because for the US here, LADIES mouth sharp ooooo and money full their bank account. African Ladies dey learn naaa ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) 7 Likes |

Perspectives differ. Lonely people making noise I studied overseas as well. It didn't take 1 month for me to notice the extreme loneliness. By 5 months, nothing was funny again I kept in touch with my Nigerian girlfriend. She didn't understand anything yet She got scholarship and also came overseas. She sef saw the loneliness. Na 2 of us wan finish the whole Skype everyday. When pepper refused to rest, we informed our parents and friends, did marriage course, went to church and married. Nobody in the whole overseas could be a friend to me and her. We carried ourselves and returned to Nigeria. Leave Oyibo and their wierd loneliness culture. 22 Likes |

Happens both ways. Thank God for your life. HeavenlyCherub:
Honestly I think you have good points in your paragraphs. I agree that as women we shouldn’t single out every man who isn’t walking in their purpose at that given time. However I would never advise anyone to settle.
Some of the financially challenged/student men who come to the US, a very large percentage have taken advantage of good women all in the name of love. I can only use myself as an example. I have dated guys who weren’t stable financially so I can only try help my fellow sisters.
Man 1: Yoruba guy - I dated him for 5 years. Great guy however refused to self improve. He did yahoo. I found out about it and tried to make him stop and do legit as I wouldn’t want our foundation built on potential blood money. He refused a legit job and informed me he knew “the life he wanted for himself and 9 to 5 was not it.” This is because he was consumed by lifestyle and driving range rovers and a Porsche’s. I stuck with him for love but I refused to marry him or his proposal as he didn’t believe in taking care of a woman. He was very selfish (during the course of a 5 year relationship this man never gave me any assistance for upkeep - mind you I didn’t need his money as I do very well for myself but every woman wants their man to be able to support and provide in small ways. This shows me you’re stable and can support our family should we hit hard times. He would always ask me why I need money and what I do with the money I earn. $10 to buy a panty he could not even do, but he stayed embellished in Gucci, LV and Prada. He also had a baby on me and begged me to raise the child with him if it was his after dna...I was scared toput myself in that position as a time when I have to depend on him will come and he would not man up as he should so I broke it off. He proposed I said no. . No way I can submit to a man like that?..
Man 2: was an international student, the devil himself in human form, they say respect them, support them and let them reach goals.. this guy I supported financially for months, paved a way for him to get his paperwork.. loved and supported. He was nice at first but when we started dating he started changing. Abusing me for not giving 5k usd and not wanting to marry him for green card... I thank God for protecting me from that one chance. He is the biggest regret and bad mistake I ever made in my life. So disheartening you support someone and they physically, verbally abuse you and blame you for the wrong going on in their life... read my story on my profile from 2 years ago for more context Note: I myself am not perfect and I’m constantly working on self improving and strengthening my bond with Christ. I’m big on giving advice to others so they won’t repeat the same mistakes I have made.
My aunt always told me never to date down. Never settle and I did. All the women waiting...wait for Gods time don’t force or rush things because you want to get married. You will end up with someone who puts baggage on you and breaks you emotionally, physically, financially etc. Let Go and Let God. If it’s his will for your life it will be. Don’t leave worse off then you started.
I also have a friend she married someone coming straight from naija. They lived as man and wife 3 years. He got his green card and went back to Nigeria to marry his real girlfriend.
I truly dislike when men put down women like this post. Marriage is not an accomplishment. It will be nice to find a compatible companion but sister- you are enough as you are. Don’t let anyone rush you. Some are happy but many more want to get out of the marriage you are rushing to. Be wise and Let God lead.
Pray for God to give you discernment. Marriage is life and that’s a long journey. Don’t end up with the wrong person because of societal pressure and advice from OP above. I have said my own |
