what has happened here is more-or-less like a big misunderstanding, let me dissect it for you: Because of the VERY few Nigerians abroad giving us bad names, a lot of foreigners think badly of us and they generally preconceive us as bad which in turn as triggered Nigerians to preconceive foreigners as judgemental even when they are genuinely not. My points

1) Nigeria has its problem and apart from certain areas that may be dangerous most places are peaceful and Ibadan is a particularly peaceful place.

2) Truthfully, as you said, there is the issue of robbers and people thinking you're rich and wanting to take advantage of you or rob you which is quite dangerous too but if your Husband is a true Nigerian/Ibadan boy this shouldn't be a problem. I say this because, he should know the right places to take you, where to go and not to go, right time to go, how to go about things without attracting attention and all of that.

3) If you don't trust your husband and think he might be lying then he probably is or you're just an impatient lady. You must be careful about this cos trust is important. To be safe and enjoy Nigeria you need a lot of things like money, careful planning etc, can your guy afford this, is he busy most of the time and all and have you considered all this (or are you just selfish). On the other hand, do you trust him enough cos he truly may be HIDING something (like a wife in Nigeria like people have said....lol).

4) You cannot judge by comments on this post because it seems to be an unfortunate misunderstanding caused by preconception from both ends. Nigerians are generally nice and welcoming. But one thing you must learn from this post is to be careful how you pose questions next time (in such sensitive scenarios) so as not to trigger....you know.

5) Lastly, to get the best picture about Nigeria, talk to Nigerians. There are loads every where (including Poland) and you must know a few other than your husband.

I don't understand why all this abusive words to the foreign woman.
She would like to visit our country and ask for more informations, why not reply her about the facts instead of raining abuse on her.
@ Vanilla, my husband is also white and we visited lagos 2 years ago. All you have to do is to visit Ibadan in the company of someone you know ( your husband) for example and if you are to go alone, pls let your husbands relatives accompany you anywhere you want to go. So you will enjoy your stay and also learn new things. And also because of your security too.

Are there no white people living and working in Nigeria? This polish woman could easily find out every information she wanted from the Nigerian Embassy there. I think she is playing on our intelligence. Are there no kidnappers or armed robbers in Poland? Her husband is either not a Nigerian or he is running away from something. He is a goat for painting his own country bad. What manner of woman is she that she does not trust her husband and makes it a topic of discussion on this forum? Is there anything special about her? Better persons have visited Nigeria, let alone some insignificant polish woman. I say she is not wanted in 9Ja.

Ok thats my last post.
I can see it wasnt good idea to write to Nigerian ppl about some more information about Nigeria.
I understand i may sound rude... but on polish post i will write just "hey"
Im sorry if i abused anybody... didnt mean to.
And thanks few ppl for advices Smiley
No need to insult me, i wrote to just get few info from ppl that live there ...
And plus i didn mean all Nigeria i wanted to know exactly about Ibadan.
Anyway sorry again and thank You !


You could have easily found out from the Nigerian Embassy in Poland instead of exposing the mistrust that existed between you and your husband/boyfriend on a public forum. Given this mistrust, I wonder if that relationship is not doomed? Guys are angry because your post suggests Nigeria is living in the dark age with wild half naked men and women on the prowl. Funny enough you said you were aware polish girls had been to 9Ja and had enjoyed their stay. Why didn't you ask them or some of your husband's friends? Given his apparent hermit life, perhaps he has no friends? The guy is definitely taking you 4 a ride of your life.

To help you my sister. I am a Nigerian lady born and partially raised there. Here is the thing about Nigeria, it is a fun place to be, and i personally cannot wait to go back there. But just like every other country there is a bad side to it. and the bad side are it have armed robbers, just like they have everywhere, and there are lots of road accidents both within the cities or states thats all i can say and maybe thats why your husband doesnt want to take you beacuse he mightt not be with you every minute of the day when you go there. But apart from that you will love it and who knows you might even decide to stay there and settle down. but you'll never know whats on the other side of the world except you visit it.

thanks for sayin somethin really nice jare...ppl on dis naijapals dont knw how to answer simple question with out abusing the person who asked da question..... Wink Wink

I think its better you listen to your husband. Because if i was to return to Nigeria today and people know they might think i have money and decide to come rob me not knowing i have nothing.....there so many scary stories i've heard and people being robbed after returning home. But then again the decision is yours.

I see no harm in your post personally and would say just use precaution while traveling there. I was born and raised in the United States but my family is Nigerian and sadly its dangerous in general. I would say by all means go, but just be generally careful. Do your best to travel amongst people that you are familiar with and keep your personal belongings plus those that are most valuable in very safe keeping. Its sad that the country is in some of the conditions you find but of course..like all places, its a work in progress. My parents never sent me because of how different it is from when they grew up which is sad because of all of the things I'd missed out on..but I finally went now that I am an adult and had fun for the most part. So my tidbit to you would be go, just be super careful! I hope you get to go and have fun!

Hey , who cares if you born in america or not . Do you think that people will call you american or treat you like american , even common african american will call you african or immigrant. maybe your parent didn't make it there that is why shme can't let them come home and they use the excuse that nigeria dangerous. i was born in nigeria but i live in australia but i always proud to be Nigerian bcos no place be like home and people love and respect me in Nigeria. So miss FAKE AMERICAN  you better watch your mouth and don't be one of those bastards.

Hey , the damage that you people use to destroy Nigeria is even more than the dame that people in government do to naija. No wonder we always get insults and harassments in white countries and calling us different sort of names. meanwhile , white people also got some criminals too. that is why foreign investors scared to come invest in country and they think that Nigeria is dangerous and which is not bad like how western media only tells negative things  about naija but Nigeria is not different like some other counrty that i've been to . Even , our house had being buggle in abroad buy buglaries . please ooo , enough is enough  and stop using mouth  to kill our Nigeria for us .
