A Nigerian born American financial professional and venture capitalist based in New York has lamented that that all the men she has come across have nothing new they bring to the table as she questions the value men add to relationships.
The lady identified on Twitter as @Makispoke who is looking for a life partner exclaimed that she most Nigerian men who came her way can only offer money but none of them earn more than she does.
Makispoke posited that as for emotional support and intelligence, most Nigerian men don’t have the “range” adding that they are “mostly useless” when it comes to domestic labor.
In a thread of tweets; she said;
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really believe a lot of Nigerian men even make for good lifetime partners, especially when I try to select for the criteria important to me. They just bring very little of needed use to the table. Everything they usually bring, I already have.
This is one of the reasons it’s much harder to partner with the average male these days. When you realize how little they bring to the table, it starts to feel like you’re doing unnecessary charity. For some man that will still want you to submit? Make it make sense.
Emotional support & intelligence? Majority don’t have the range. Financial support? I don’t need it, and I rarely even come across Nigerian men that outearn me. Domestic labor? Most are intentionally useless. So what is the value add?
