“Nigerian Men Abandon Their Children With Foreign Women”
I DISAGREE!
In my personal opinion, many failed relationships involving Nigerian men and foreign women….whether in America or elsewhere, are primarily the result of cultural clashes. Regardless of how kind, attractive, or well-intentioned foreign women may be, they often struggle to fully understand or relate to the Nigerian man on a deeper cultural level.
No relationship is perfect. Irrespective of race, religion, culture, or tradition, every relationship is subject to trials and difficulties. No human being is without flaws, and these imperfections can sometimes trigger disagreements and conflict. More often than not, resolving such issues requires patience, understanding, tolerance, and effective communication.
Understanding a partner goes beyond isolated situations or present circumstances. For a Nigerian man, deeply rooted traditions….family structures, tribal expectations, and broader societal norms….often influence his decisions, actions, and even inactions, whether positively or negatively. Awareness of these cultural nuances is essential, as it fosters deeper understanding and, ultimately, healthier communication and solutions.
This does not imply that Nigerian women are submissive or willing to tolerate excesses from Nigerian men. Rather, our culture, traditions, and religious values tend to encourage patience, respect, tolerance, care, and consideration…. sometimes more so than what is emphasized in other cultural backgrounds.
In many cases, a foreign partner may find it difficult to support or accept certain decisions a Nigerian man makes regarding his immediate family, extended family, or close ties back home. A Nigerian woman, on the other hand, is more likely to understand and tolerate such decisions because she can relate to the cultural context. This difference alone can create a significant gap in relationships involving foreigners. There are many examples of this dynamic.
It is important to note that cultural conflict in relationships is not unique to Nigerian men and foreign women. Similar challenges occur in relationships between people of different races, tribes, religions, and cultures worldwide.
There are good and bad men and women in every culture. Nevertheless, I do not believe that Nigerian men, as a whole, intentionally abandon their children with foreign partners. In many cases, severe cultural clashes and, at times, selfish decisions by either party may contribute to such outcomes. That said, abandoning one’s children is never justified and is deeply unfortunate.
I hope that estranged couples, regardless of their differences, will act with greater wisdom, maturity, and responsibility….especially when children are involved. May God guide you accordingly…. AskEeefy www.eeefy.com
