On a serious note, it may be a geography and cultural thing. I hope you are okay with my perspective as an inside outsider?... The majority of my Nigerian friends have married Nigerians, BUT there is a common theme that I've noticed.

I find that Nigerian men tend to travel home to marry a girl, which is usually influenced by their parents and the fact they have been unsuccessful in dating here for whatever reason. There is also an attitude of Let's date and have my fun. When I'm ready to get serious, I will go home and marry someone from where I'm from, whether it is arranged or organic, i.e., they met someone (or a couple of someones, you know the ones 😄😭) while visiting back home and continue to nurture that to see if it can go anywhere while playing around here.

The Nigerian women I know that marry Nigerians tend to have either come to the UK already married, engaged, or in a relationship.

A few of my married Nigerian friends have met their person abroad. It is not something I had thought about deeply until this post, but now that I think about it, it is a thing.

Also, I find a lot of the mixed marriages and relationships that break down always always always always break down because of cultural clashes. I feel like when a Nigerian man dates outside his color/culture, the ones that go home to marry have done so because they've become fatigued by the cultural differences they experienced outside their race/culture. The mixed marriages that last the longest always tend to be with a Nigerian female; I feel the patriarchy influences that for a more peaceful outcome.

I'm the only white wife I know who has lived in or even visited Nigeria, which has helped me understand my husband and his views. Don't get me wrong, I still make mistakes or clash on some cultural things, but it has helped us.

Sometimes Nigerians who abroad think they will try to date outside their culture and try something new but then realize it's different from what they are compatible with. So they go home for a speedier result than risk wasting more time trying to find their person.

None of this is based on actual evidence but more on the patterns I've noticed and experienced.

Studyportals data shows that in 2020, Nigerian students picked Canada, Germany, the UK, the US, and Norway as their top five study-abroad destinations. Most Nigerians will choose Norway if they want affordable study abroad. No matter what, day and night, the US will always be the top 1 for anyone from Nigeria looking to study overseas.

Yes, practice usual or slightly heightened caution, depending on the region. And do not go pretty close to the north for now, not necessarily because you're a woman but because it's generally dangerous for everyone. You should bring a giant sun hat and shades. If you want to go out at nighttime, I'd recommend sticking to Lagos or Abuja, as they're the most nighttime-friendly cities/states. If you are Igbo, I will recommend Owerri. Been there, and they have a solid social nightlife scene. I don't know about the other states; anyone can correct me.

Since you said "one day," I don't need to point out that it's not a good idea to come anytime between now and April (see: elections)

The so-called Ministry Of Foreign Affairs is not even ashamed of dishing out this information, despite its need and necessity.

What's making your young lad move to Northern Cyprus when Nigeria is better than NP? They lost faith in Nigeria.

Why? Nothing is working in Nigeria.

Can this County still get better? Do I think so?

The problem with the Nigerian government is that they know how to lie against their citizens. If not because the Nigerian government doesn't have shame, is Ethiopia na Country? Dead among the living Country. E no go better for shameless Nigeria government.

E just be like make Zimbabwe say them no wan give Naija people visa again. E nogo better for Lord Lugard

Its lacks of human development index, or self-development i guess, in summary.

It is how some children grow up to value themselves compared to others. They see value in their parents' wealth, not handwork, training, or skills. They develop the idea that they are better than others or have a comparative advantage in terms of their families' economic positions or environmental setup.

So as an adult, sometimes this way of understanding oneself is expressed. Also, When you know someone abroad footing bills of their family at home, you will see why it's pride. Nigeria is challenging and that's why many who have someone abroad who is supportive should be their pride.

Atleast the salary is coming as at when due..here it's not coming at all. Even police men protested today. Its better that it's coming and taking care of your bills...than it's not coming at all and you're spending transport to goto work every day. Yet, some evil people will owe you for 18 months! 

O boy cool down. SOME.MUMU WILL STILL NOT HEAR WORD 

Singapore is now richer than her colonial master England, Singapore attained independence few years after Nigeria. Nigeria no more excuse to fail.....we can be better than the colonial master

I agree. In Canada, Nigerians do not operate, but the LATAMs corporate, the Indians corporate, and the Chinese corporate, only Nigerians act like they are trying to outshine themselves. No cooperation among Nigerians; they keep hiding opportunities to themselves alone. I spoke about this to someone a few weeks ago. God will deliver us. We want to outshine ourselves and everybody. Lol

Because Africans and in particular Nigerians are greedy, wicked, and stingy and filled with jealousy. The heart of Nigerians are desperately wicked to their fellow Africans that's why you hear them saying "don't come to America or Canada because it's snowy, it's cold" and all manner of gibberish but they themselves will never switch places with you if you present them with that choice or help others to migrate from the gutter to a civilized society. Rubbish.

It's not easy. As blacks we don't like to help each other grow. That is the way God designed us. We allow people to hustle like for real.

If they help you move who will welcome them when they are back home. Such is our mentality here in country. We like to enslave each other.

Many years ago a friend told me there is nothing in Brazil. He will be back next month ,keep telling me next month. I made my way there didn't Inform him.

We met in a mall where I work as a security guard. The guy nearly run mad seeing me.

I thank God

This one is serious oh

I don't know how this one works but I would have suggested you and your go and marry again in a court and collect another marriage certificate to present, don't know if that is possible though, I've never been married....
