An abroad-based lady has sparked widespread discussion after sharing her blunt insights about dating foreign men, shedding light on the realities of interracial marriage and financial reliance.
In a viral video shared by on X (formerly Twitter) the lady explained that dating an “Oyibo” comes with different expectations compared to dating an African man.
“If you ever find yourself dating an Oyibo, you cannot rely on him like you rely on an African man,” she said.
She highlighted that while African men often take full responsibility for the household, women dating foreign men must also be prepared to work hard and contribute.
She clarified that she wasn’t advocating a strict 50/50 financial arrangement but emphasized that effort and self-reliance are crucial.
“Unless you marry someone whose family is swimming in oil money or owns luxury cars, you will have to hustle,” she added.
She warned that being with a foreign partner does not guarantee a stress-free life; responsibilities remain, and many lessons come through personal experience.
Even in long-distance relationships, she stressed, women must be ready to face challenges and hustle once they relocate.
Social media users quickly reacted, with some praising her honesty and practical advice, while others debated her claims, comparing African and foreign men as partners.
Her perspective serves as a reminder that while dating a foreign partner may seem glamorous, preparation, resilience, and a willingness to work hard remain essential for success.
For young women planning to date or marry abroad, her message underscores the importance of self-reliance, balance, and a clear understanding of shared responsibilities.
