A bottle of beer is valuable than that girl. I'm glad you ditched her.

Please, I know it'll be quite difficult, but, please try as much as possible to stay away from good-for-nothing Nigerian girls over there. They have ways of making an ambitious man not to reach his full potentials.

True talk and this applies not just to Nigerian girls but is more like the stock in trade of Nigerian Wives in the UK.

Good evening everyone, I recently finished my NYSC in Ibadan and I came back home which is Ekiti state. The issue now is I applied for the first bank graduate trainee when I was still in Ibadan and applicants have been called for an exam which will take place on Saturday. My dad is saying I shouldn't go back to Ibadan with the excuse that I should go and start my masters in ekiti state university. I am so confused about what to do.

Your Dad does not realise that a job anywhere in the world is worth more than 10 Masters Degrees with no job at the end of it and know that your Dad may just be afraid of you not needing him anymore once you start earning your own money.

You have to do what you think is best for your own LONG TERM future and a job (if you manage to get it in today's depressed world economy) is better than 10 theoretical masters degrees with no job in sight after the Masters degrees.

Think about number one for once and that is you. At times you have to be cruel to others to be kind to yourself and in this case you are not even being cruel to your Dad.

Better no date oyinbo oo becos them go ask you are you mad have you lost your mind?

Oyinbo no get culture to start with. That is different form someone from back home who understands our culture when we are visiting our spouses FAMILY GATHERINGS and she chooses to insult you in front of your WHOLE family.

For example a friends junior sister in the UK lost her marriage because she was trying to justify slapping her husband over petty remote control squabble and she tried to justify this to the chaps Dad who is a Chief in Nigeria by telling her father in law that she slapped him in self defence which was even a lie according to her own older brother.

The husband promptly packed out of the house in the middle of the night and that was the end of the marriage.

IF (but I wouldn't dare do so) I were to have mistakenly married an Oyinbo woman and she gets rude and mouthy, I will have known that that is Oyinbo culture and she does not really understand Naija culture but with a home bred Naija woman who grew up in naija to come over to the UK and INTENTIONALLY try to bastardize my culture, I will rather remain single for life that put up with that nonsense.

Reminds me of a bros in London who went back to Ondo state and told his 85 year old Aunty that na woman be oga for the UK o. His Aunty promptly asked him what he was still doing in such an evil country where the wife is the oga to the husband.

You have papers, she doesn't. You're the trophy.
What are you doing with a Nigerian girl in UK?

I pity the innocent man that will end up with this lady. I'm 99.774% certain the man will not live up to 48 years.

No mind the ingrate. She no know say me na someone wey fit abandon wedding plans even on the wedding day if I feel it is justified and in my best interests to do so. I go just abandon the dangerous wedding and go to the nearest beer parlour go chop better food and wash it down with a bottle of Martell.

A former girlfriend called me a Tyrant who was trying to cage her ??

Many years ago, I met a mature lady online. We both live in London and she no get papers and if things had worked out I would have given her UK papers.

She came to my flat soon after we met online, stayed the night and left the next day.

A few days later we were having a telephone conversation and she said whilst she was working in Naija, her boss once told her colleagues that she does not know how to lie and that if she visited a babalawo, she would expose herself in a later conversation. I picked up on this and to be on the safe side, I continued the phone conversation with her along the following lines :-

Me :- Shey you dey go babalawo ni.
Her :- Stop talking rubbish.
Me :- Hope say you no go follow me go my family meeting go dey tell me say I should stop talking rubbish ?
Her :- If you talk rubbish in front of your family, I will tell you to stop talking rubbish.
Me :- In that case you are not yet ready to settle down with a real Naija man. Maybe you should try your luck with an Oyinbo man.
Her :- You are a Tyrant and you are trying to cage me.
Me :- Na so I jejely end the relationship allow her carry her wahala go.

This na woman wey dey tell me the first day she came to my flat that I have to give up my flat and move into a newly rented flat that will have both our names on the tenancy ??

She also told me that she used to be a leader of women whilst back in Naija and that I should be open to her doing her woman leadership activities from our joint abode and be open to so many of the women she will be leading visiting our home and this is not something I would have liked as I am a very private person and I don't want all and sundry in my private space.

Anyway, I ended the relationship sharply when she said I was a Tyrant who was trying to cage her just because I told her not to say I was talking rubbish when I asked a pertinent follow up question to clarify if she visited babalawos (a valid follow up question based on what she had said earlier).

I can't stand mouthy or stubborn women especially when their stubbornness rears its ugly head when I am trying to correct them or give them valid advise.

It looks like ALL of today's women detest being corrected and correcting them brings out the demons in them and from my experience, its not just the women abroad who are like this. Those in Nigeria are like this as well but some of them hide it due to pecuniary gains.
