Ladies in Nigeria are lucky, UK men don’t give us money – UK-based Nigerian lady spills

A Nigerian lady residing in the United Kingdom has expressed her belief that her female compatriots living in Nigeria have a more favorable situation when it comes to being pampered by men.

Anike Banks, the woman in question, argues that Nigerian ladies in the West African nation are fortunate but may not be fully aware of it.

According to her, unlike the situation back home, men in the United Kingdom are not as generous with their financial support towards women.

Anike Banks asserts that it is rare for men in England to freely and easily give money to women. She goes on to accuse English men of being stingy in comparison.

The entrepreneur further emphasizes her point by stating that if she were fortunate enough to find a man in the UK who would give her just 20 pounds, she would proudly introduce him to her parents as a remarkable gesture.

Anike wrote; “Nigerian women living in Nigeria don’t understand how lucky they are. UK men didn’t give anything. Awon stingy kokoshi.

If someone dares squeeze £20 in my hand I’ll invite him to come meet my parents.”

Anike Banks’ perspective sheds light on the contrasting attitudes towards financial support for women in Nigeria and the UK.

While her opinion is subjective, it highlights the different cultural norms and practices regarding generosity and spoiling within the context of male-female relationships.

One user @thefashygram commented; Everyone’s saying this. My sister, friend and even a total stranger I don’t know before said this too. UK boys y’all should do better 💀💀

She replied; “Even the ones moving from Nigeria to here are adapting to that culture.”

I think this is largely rooted in the idea that women earn equally as men. This filters the giving men to those who genuinely want to give.
