Nigerian Men Feel Self-entitled And They Aren’t Romantic In Relationship – Simi

Simi & Adekunle Gold

Sensational singer Simi is elated after the successful release of her debut album dubbed ‘Simisola‘. The album has received a lot of good reviews since its release about a week ago. Recently, the X3M Music singer lamented the fact that Nigerian men are not romantic. she also criticised Nigerian men for having an inherent sense of entitlement. Simi has been always linked to be in a love triangle with collaborator Falz and Adekunle Gold.

“I don't believe Nigerian men are romantic. I think Nigerian men do not think they have to be romantic. 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.

At the end of the day, the other woman left him and he retraced his steps to his initial wife. The lady's 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, she said.

She also decried the men in the country feel they don't have to work for anything. She also believes men ought to fight for what the value (women) to keep their relationship intact.

“A lot of men grow up in this country feeling entitled to certain things and they believe that they don't 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. I 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. Most mothers are the problem because when something happens, they are quick to advise the daughter and wives, they don't 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.”

“To describe myself as a lover, I would say that I am a loyal lover. When I am in a relationship, I am all in and I put everything into it. I can only quit a relationship if the person betrays my trust because, to me, trust is everything. Trust is a big foundation for love. If I don't trust a person, it would be hard to be with the person.

If I date someone, I expect that you know what you have to offer. I believe that whatever I do for the person, I should get the same in return. I don't like people lying to me,”

  1. Simi,I wouldn’t say that You are totally right in ur assertions,as there are always exceptions to everything under the sky, by that I mean to say that there are men who are still pretty much romantic in relationships. Emmanuel Okafoeze
