Nigerian Men Are Not romantic. They are too full of ego.”- Ronke Oshodi

Correction. It is not just Yoruba men. African men appear to show little if any affection to their wives in public. They are afraid of being looked on as being weak. Our men have a lot of esteem issues that need to be addressed. Everything is done with a heavy hand to show who is in "charge!"  Hence the death of the 3 year old for wetting the bed!

To make themselves feel good they go for ladies who are fair skinned in the hope that their family and friends will envy them and give them some "street credibility."

But its good to see some strong women coming up in  Nigeria (I am not talking about those in govt) who despite everything are standing tall and letting the husband know that it tskes two to make a marriage work and not dictatororship!

However there are still women  who quote tradition and culture for living subservient lives in their marriages!

In the long run, we all chose what makes things work for us. And this is why certain parts of the world are afraid of female education!

Dear Angesco, the truth is that African or Black ladies are quite different from the western ones in their DNA and understanding of how relationships work. Who does not like to enjoy romance and sweetness. Unfortunately this is not how it works with you African ladies. Instead of appreciating and reciprocating, their hungry and stupid nature starts seeing it as an opportunity for emotional blackmail to gain things thinking that you love them too much which is usually a fatal mistake if you understand our own nature as well. I take myself as an example, I started out with childish naivity before I got burned and realized that our fathers are wise and right after all in their dealings with you black women. A donkey appreciates a whip on its back only. After correcting myself and apologising my brothers who were cautioning me from the beginning, me and my partner are happier than we have ever been before and there is mutual respect
