Love love love it. Its very sad how the Nigerian men have been stereotyped as criminals when in all reality there are bad guys in every race. I also think its a great idea of you changing your channel around making your family life more private. Keep up the good work and God bless!!! 💋❤
You're spot on about the lies folks often say about Nigerian men. Folks are using the actions of a few to judge the majority. Folks stereotype Nigerians a lot. We all don't adhered to the same school of thought. Keep up the good work. Stay blessed, omo iya!!
My Nigerian boyfriend just broke up with me. I had such high hopes for the relationship, I thought we'd end up together. But I guess it wasn't God's will. I believe with God's help I will meet a better Nigerian guy for me! Amen.
@Dominion Ogunjinrin well a lot of women say after dating African or certain ethnic group guys it’s hard to go back to dating American men. Women get accustomed to certain beautiful treatment and cultural norms. So this lady probably got used to that treatment from Nigerian/African guy and want that for her life.
Beautiful video 🌟❤😊...I definitely pray that we embrace eachother...stop practicing anti-black American hate & anti- African hate... unity means having eachothers back !!!!😊❤❣
You are onto something big with your channel. Good to put less of the kids up. There’s good and bad every where same way you have them In Nigeria, Nigeria bashing is a very low hanging fruit in the West largely for two main reasons - Nigerians will challenge ANYBODY for opportunities; Nigerian culture is increasingly becoming mainstream. Nigerian wives generally thrive, Igbos treat their wives so well even at the man’s expense. The Green Card one I’d say is case specific - if the couple look out of sorts it may be the case but Nigerian men are increasingly marrying non Nigerians. Fashion is huge and we rep well in putting colours and fabric together. The way you were smiling cheek-to-cheek whilst discussing fashion betrayed your deep endearment for your hubby. Hmmm, multi wives was common but now becoming less so, economic reasons and gender gap reduction dictating more nuclear families. There will always be more talks and myths about Nigerians, we are itinerant, ambitious and in Chimamanda’s words, “casually arrogant”, we rub some people the wrong way.
I love your channel I applaud you. I was in a three year year friendship with a Nigerian man not physical. Your truth and counseling set me free if you are twenty years older it's not real. I knew he was Yahoo but I was in too deep. I accept responsibility for my actions it takes two to tango. I love the culture and people. For the young lady who was scammed forgive him other wise you may become bitter and judge all Nigerians. I think the men are handsome and I love native attire.
I was married to a Nigerian (Yoruba) tribe. I found him to be the stereotype 😢. I am happy for you and others that did not find this negative stereotype. Actually, I work with many Africans and always found most of them very nice & engaging. I must admit the only Africans that I had major conflict with on the job were Nigerians. I just find the Nigerians in general to be very loud, aggressive, and confrontational. I did not enjoy managing them at all. After being married to a Nigerian man (I am convinced that rudeness is probably written in their constitution. It must me a right of passage into adulthood). Simple words used to show politeness (e.g. please, thank you, pardon me, sorry, Excuse me). These words are left unsaid or said very rudely then they lose their meaning. It’s very difficult when you manage a diverse group of people but the bulk of major customer service complaints are always 85% of the Nigerian employees. It’s very difficult for a company to try to address these cultural issues without appearing racist or xenophobic but it’s a recurring problem. It’s a shame even the other Africans who are not Nigerians recognize their is a problem with the casual rudeness that they seem oblivious to. I wish these companies would invest in “soft skills,” training and cultural awareness training. I understand the need to respect different cultures and points of views but all that must take a backseat when it comes to professional courtesy. It’s been so bad at one point (the patient’s requested no African nurses but upon further research the only African nurses who had been consistently rude to them were the Nigerians we have on staff but they just heard the African accent and lumped them all in the same category). It’s very disheartening to have to say these things because as a Black American we get stereotyped and labeled and unfortunately many of us earn our bad reputations much like the Nigerians. We do have that in common. The old adage “where there is smoke there is fire.” As black people we do need to rush to listen instead of getting offended and jumping to the defense. Regardless, of my personal/professional experiences there is never any reason to not show everyone mutual respect and kindness (everyone needs to eat a slice of humble pie every now and again). GOD bless you and keep GOD first and you can persevere through any storms of life!!!
We all have different upbringing and grew up in different environment, it is so annoying saying all Nigerian are rude and not polite is the height of foolishness. Yoruba culture and language is one of the most polite thing you can ever come across. People just date/ engange with people only to point out their negative side without showing desire to understand their way of life. Let's stop those stereotypes.
@@henry5118 she’s sharing her truth and I can relate. There’s truth in every stereotype. I’m African American & lots of us do fit the stereotype & lots of Nigerians do fit the description she’s speaking of. Discussing it can bring about change.
Alright, I didn't know I wasn't a subscriber so I was feeling all special when you said if you are new hello and I've been here for a Lil bit. I just subscribed!! Thanks for your videos! And I love the music
Girl, I admire you so much!! That's true you must think of your personal home life first. Your home is first.. And that's okay. You have so much to share. I support your journey and your discussion.
Tracy I just want to adore you for cooperation and understanding on the issue you have raised regarding your family with your hubby. That is part of family protective ideology that good family man/person possesses as a Nigerian.
I stop communicating with one because of one of those lies. It was said if they are not already here (USA) do not date because they are trying to get their Visa!
@@mariemarie5564 Idk what you've been through with a Nigeria man, but that shouldn't put a bad rep on every Nigerian men, just the bad one you're/you've dealt with. I'm Nigerian and I know I'm of the few ones who dishes out what I want meted out for me, so likewise there are several good ones in the country.
WELCOME BACK!!! ☺ you're spot on about your opinion when regarding to Nigerian men's. Not all are the same. Also I LOVE your lip color, if you don't mind what color is it and the brand? #keepthemcoming #Bigfan
ClAsSy LaDy Hey Sis! The lipstick is Makeup Revolution- Rebel. I believe it’s a UK drugstore brand. Here is a link: www.cosmeticsmegastore.com/us/salvation-intense-lip-lacquer-rebel/p-21533878-47163867?language=en&ac=cosmeticsmegastore&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-bjyBRCcARIsAFboWg1Irf5rUAAmu2pVNGYH36ZEhGpsXzkT3Ql-w4w7BPey9XVRJYCB3rsaAsiREALw_wcB
So, true my Beautiful Nigeria Man he encourages me. We have been connected. I dont share my personal on my channel or Facebook. I posted to wish him Happy Birthday and that we began the relationship. And He called me and said all of these women from your contacts some are sending me friend request.. One even called him. And told her he was not intrested and has a wife. And one that sent him a request is one I had just saw talked to o at a church function. So, I have never since then posted anything else of my personal...it did upset him . So that will never happen again.. a
I would love to get to know the Nigerian cultural better,after watching their movies, documentaries and reading about the country and her people I'm so interested, would love go there one day.
Could it be that some of these issues are more rampant depending on the context of the interaction type? I mean for instance online dating sites vs workplace or mutual interests? Ive personally had multiple horrendus experiences/interactions with folks online.🤷🏾♀️ Lipstick is great on you, and im glad to see you and the fam are well.
The worst of the lies is that Nigeria men have no fashion sense. You debunked that emphatically, so well that it's not necessarily addressing it again. As for the rest of the lies, it's in human nature to tend to make generalisation on the basis of a personal single experience or hearsay. You're doing a wonderful job of a GREAT AMBASSADOR . We appreciate you. Best wishes as you redirected your RU-vid Channel.
Great explanations! I was wondering if you could give me any tips on being accepted to the Naija Wives FB group. I’ve requested twice and even emailed them. :)
Good one, Traci! Nice to see you after a little while. Yes, it’s sad but I understand why hubby would be concerned, it’s just the way things are in that part of the world though not understood in the West. Try check out this book by William Beckford - “He Leadeth Me, a true story about how good overcame evil. Very honest account by the Author. I wish you well in your new direction for this channel.
I agree sis. There are mean people in every race. I'm American involved with a Nigerian Idomo tribe. He's intelligent, handsome, spiritual and a very sharp dresser. I must admit I'm a bit hesitant because we have not made personal contact and I'm older than he is. But I believe he loves me and I certainly love him. We're just working out his coming to America. Thank you for everything.
You’re welcome! Idomo tribe? I have to Google and read up on this tribe. Are you learning a lot about his tribe? I can get a bit geeky about the history and culture at times. Lol
@@NigerianWifestyle initially I was really into and excited. He was ecstatic that I had researched and found out about the Idomo tribe. It kind of dwindled but I'm back on it as we speak. I'm in love and wouldn't change it for anything.
Good evening Tracey I know you ave a busy life and I understand if you are not able to answer my question right away. I have been dating my Nigerian man now for almost 3 months. We both live in the same State different cities, we are about 2 hours and 35 minutes apart. He invited me to his home and gave me a set of keys to the house to come whenever I want to. I haven't spoken to any of his family only his close friends, my family thinks I should leave him alone because I haven't met any of his family yet. What do you think about this!. Please I value your opinion. Thank you.
Hello Nurse Olive - This is not exactly the best place to have a conversation. Let’s chat via email - you can write to me at NigerianWifestyle@gmail.com
Great content... Also multiple wives is really not about the loss of love, rather it is an economic system for expanding a family's wealth and stature.. I thought to just expand on that, as I am alwasy having this conversation with my AFrican American sisters, as a continental AFrican woman from Ghana. My AA sisters almost unanimously are against that, and I keep telling them, they may still find happiness in it, if their African spouse is considering that for the family..LOL
ROKOYAHASHIA That’s an interesting point because it’s certainly NOT the story with the mere 2 polygamous families I know personally. Both are lead by a wealthy man with multiple wives who fight internally over just about everything not to even speak of the children. There is no clear indication that generational wealth is a goal. Nah, I’m good lol
