Investor Recommends Nigerian Men Date Foreign Women for a Character Check
One investor is stirring up conversation online with his rather bold relationship advice: Nigerian men should consider dating women from other countries. Why? According to him, it’s a surefire way to sharpen one’s character.
In a recent post on social media, he explained that certain behaviors which Nigerian men may routinely get away with in relationships back home wouldn’t fly with women abroad. Essentially, dating someone from a different cultural background might hold a mirror up to their actions—minus the usual cultural cushioning.
He put it rather directly: “I encourage our men to date foreign women. The things we Nigerian men take for granted here and do to our women, they won’t take it. Good for character development.”
His comment sparked a mix of reactions, with some nodding in agreement and others accusing him of generalizing both Nigerian men and women. Still, the post raised interesting questions about relationship dynamics, accountability, and how different cultural expectations can influence behavior in romantic partnerships.
Whether or not one agrees with the investor’s approach, it’s clear that he believes some tough love from abroad might just nudge a few egos into personal growth territory. Dating as a crash course in self-awareness? Now there’s a twist.
