* He understands your accent * He knows that when you suffix every sentence with now', its not a command, e.g. "Come let's go now..." * When you guys go out, he pays and doesn't expect a refund of exactly half! * He understands why you have to send money home -probably doing the same himself! * He doesn't see your kid sister staying in your house as an inconvenience/ cramping his style. * He doesn't think you should put your parents in a home. * He eats 'Gbegiri and Amala' and doesn't think it's 'yucky' or 'spicy'. In a nutshell, loves your cooking. * He gets your jokes. * He has got his education or he got something going on. * He may be a baby daddy but he loves his kid and takes care of him. * He can have a bus load of conversation without him saying much 'cos his momma taught him that. * He loves to see you shake that ass to Sir Shina Peters, the original "Back That Ass Up" master. * He will settle an argument and say sorry while maintaining his man status. * I am IN charge but he is THE charge, we understand that. * He knows where he is from. Living in NY does not mean you are from NY. * He thinks you're so pretty without makeup. * He calls you native endearing names like "Nne" or"Omo" * He has respect [not to be confused with obedience] for his elders? important. * The way he gets embarrassed and says "I beg e" when you compliment him. * The way he says "I love you baby"? May be very fake yet sounds so TRUE! * The way he calls you his wife in front of all his friends. * The way he knows that it is you calling and answers the phone "Hey Baby!" without looking at the caller ID. * The way Naija men look when they are all decked out in native? there is nothing sexier than a dark chocolate man in lace o! * Pronounces your name like say na im born you. * The way he flows from Ebonics to Pidgin English to Akata with ease. * He is just at home at your office picnic as he is at the Naija reunion. * He appreciates the art of yanshrolling when he sees one! * Keeps yo from doing wahala by buying a stickshift vehicle he knows U can't drive! * He saves you money on groceries a la "limited diet". Just cook the stew and he'll figure the rest? Eba, Amala,Fufu or even plain old White Bread! * No need for Bosom implants to impress am! * He knows to allow you like three hours to get ready for a party! * He thinks the small gap between your front teeth are actually sexy!!!! * Finally; Cool Cos He Is Just A Naija Man Period!!

Nice compilation, half is probably just make-believe from a very imaginative author. I'm proudly dating a Nigerian definitin of hunk,I mean think BECKHAM in chocolate skin! So i truly feel where the writer is coming from. However, let's quit the wishful thinking. Naija guys are FAR from perfect, but u got to love 'em all d same. I mean, who else will? (just kidding) Peace

it all depends.....some guys like to double date...they don't know what they want...and in a million,u can only find a handful that are really faithful....but the simple reason on why to date a naija guy is bcoz naija guys have culture...unlike american guys or white guys...for example how many couples have a steady relationship in america for example...they don;t care about their kids or lives...if things messed up in their lives the first thing they would do is to insult themselves and get divorce....but for naija guys,the word "DIVORCE" does not exist in the nigerian dictionary...i am sure u guys agree with me on this one....this is just one of the example...but if u sit and think...u will have more examples...RESPONSIBILTY is another factor too....naija guys can do anything to make sure that there is food on the table but guys from other parts of the world give up easily....am i right...think about it....and one more important factor is that it is difficult to find a nigerian guy who is not straight...as in gay....but these gays are open in public for other countries....heheheheheh....
