Nigerian actor Timini has expressed his preference for dating Nigerian women abroad over those in his home country.
Speaking on the latest episode of the Menisms Podcast, he highlighted the competitive dating environment faced by Nigerian women abroad, which he believes enhances the dating experience.
According to Timini, Nigerian women residing abroad, particularly in places like London, America, or Canada, constitute a minority within the dating pool, offering a unique advantage for potential partners.
In his own words, Timini shared, “I honestly feel like, and this is me talking from my personal experience, I feel like you’d get a better dating experience from a Nigerian girl living abroad than a Nigerian girl living here.
My reason is this [is] Nigerian girls living abroad, in London, America or Canada are the minority in the dating pool over there. There are so many more ethnicities, so there are options and I don’t know if the average guy out there is looking for a Nigerian babe to date. So when a Nigerian babe abroad catches you, you’re honestly the catch and she’d take care of you and she’d be happy to take care of you.
A lot of Nigerian girls and a lot of my friends are baddies, I know that if they were in Lagos they would be on their phones checking who to go on dates. But they’re out there on dating sites in other countries.
When they catch a Nigerian man who has the same values as them, who understands their jokes and wants to watch the same shows, you’re the prize. But over here, they have options. Even the ones that aren’t the best looking”.
