I am very good friends with a woman in Nigeria. We have been friends for several years and have in fact moved on from just friends. In fact, now that she has completed her schooling she is moving here to the US to be with me. It blows me away how inaccurate this webpage is with regards to Nigerian woman. My friend is nothing like what is described. It’s really sad because it makes this information so suspect.
Mark says
Mmm well from all you have said so far I hope I get to meet a woman like you someday before a foreigner does..

Interracial marriages are on the increase now, with migrating on the increase, relocation on the job(expatriates) overseas studying ecetra Nigerian women are beginning to warm up to men of other cultures and nationalities…
A lot of women have been westernized and experienced mixed cultures, they’ve come to realise the European men seem to be more generous with romance, flexible with house chores and handling the kids and even meal preparation hence they have no problem with having a white husband.
A typical Nigerian lady wants the man typical romance or not, provide protect and predict while the follow nothing wrong with that.
some western men don’t mind a woman being the bread winner or care less if you make more.. That can later turn out tricky cos if the woman becomes bossy or over does portion control with money and he’s ego deflates it’s really ugly.
A man looks better providing so yes as a Nigerian woman my first choice is a Nigerian man of my tribe, If that isn’t coming into play il settle for a foreigner.

This is so true. Almost all my Nigerian friends in the U.S are married to Nigerians from their tribe. Those who couldn’t find Nigerians, ended up with Europeans, but are still very much Nigerian.
