1. Claims about attraction preferences

According to him, the first reason is that many Nigerian women are not strongly attracted to white men like the Russian man Yaytseslav.

He explained that while some may find foreigners appealing, he believes most do not consider their skin colour a major factor in romantic or close relationships.

He said:

"Nigerian women, the majority of them, don't even like light-skinned ('fair') guys. Yes, now. They don't like those 'yellow boys.' Ask any Nigerian woman around you. They don't like light-skinned guys."

2. Approach style may not work

The second reason he mentioned relates to communication style.

He argued that Nigerian women may feel irritated by overly direct approaches, especially when conversations quickly shift toward 'relationship'.

He said that an approach perceived as too forward could discourage further interaction.

He added:

"Nigerian women can be easily irritated, especially when you get straight to the point."

3. Financial expectations and caution

As his third point, he suggested that some women may become cautious when approached by foreign men and may prioritise financial expectations before agreeing to any relationship.

He added that this could make it difficult for someone using a direct approach to succeed quickly.

'The next thing is billing, and that kind of billing, they will make sure they get it first before you get what you want. They would not easily throw themselves at you like the way the Ghanaians and the Kenyans did," he said.
