In a chat with Nonye Ben-Nwankwo and Ademola Olonilua of Punchng, she said: \u201cI don\u2019t believe Nigerian men are romantic. I think Nigerian men do not think they have to be romantic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">&#8220;I am not saying this to bash men but I think no one pushes Nigerian men to fight for anything so they have this sense of entitlement. I was watching a Nigerian movie one day and there was this unfaithful Nigerian man who left his wife for another woman.\u00a0At the end of the day, the other woman left him and he retraced his steps to his initial wife. The lady\u2019s mother actually told her to kneel in front of the man and that bothered me a lot even though I knew it was a movie. That is the way things are.\u00a0A lot of men grow up in this country feeling entitled to certain things and they believe that they don\u2019t have to work for anything. This has been the case for generations and a lot of our mothers were unhappy because the society expected them to stay in the relationship.\u00a0I am not saying it is the right thing for people to leave their relationships but a man needs to fight for what he wants so he can value it. I think the problem is because a lot of Nigerian men feel self-entitled and I blame our culture and our mothers.\u00a0Most mothers are the problem because when something happens, they are quick to advise the daughter and wives, they don\u2019t tell the men that their actions are wrong. So if a man feels that he does not have to fight to keep the relationship, he would not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: Instablog9ja<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer Simi has shared her candid opinion about Nigerian men.
