Legit.ng has compiled some reactions to the woman's opinion on Nigerian men abroad below:
Friday Ohimai Oshiotse said:
"Ada Ujaligwa The one he will marry from the village and bring her abroad will also become an abroad woman so your assertion is very wrong. There are ladies who also went back home to marry so both men and women are involved. In the end you are not in position to advice anyone on this issue."
Precious Chinemerem said:
"One of the Reasons I broke up my ex after i traveled. I’m not in for that distance relationship Ontop 4years course I went to study. Make I face abroad men you sef face Nigerian women.
"Make all man date within their reach."

"Let me not talk what is in my mind sha.
"They know what they are doing. Very cunning and manipulative.
"I experienced it firsthand.
"Imagine discussing with your husband to be and you both agreed on settling down in Nigeria after marriage because you hate abroad marriage. Only for Mr. Man to wake up one day after wedding to tell you that he will be traveling again.
"Ya diba!!!
"I have accepted my fate and moved on with my life. Lesson learned. Never to repeat and I will always advocate against abroad marriage."
