Nigerian media personality, actress, author, reality TV show host and entrepreneur, Toke Makinwa has described Nigerian men as “the best in the world.”
She said despite her criticisms of Nigerian men, they are better compared to their counterparts around the world, especially the United Kingdom.
Speaking in the latest episode of her podcast, TokeMoments, she said: “No matter how I criticise Lagos boys, Nigerian men are just badly behaved. But I still think Naija men in the pool are still the best around the world.
“What UK girls are going through, I don’t understand. All my cousins in the UK when they tell me their dating stories, it is bad.”
Her guest, Madame Joyce, a British media personality agreed, and she said:
“Honestly, it is really bad. And I feel like because we are so used to it, that is just the expectation. In Nigeria here, somebody opened the car door for me, I was like, ‘Wow!’ UK boys barely do that. Chivalry in London is so dead. The guys don’t have much shame. There are still conversations about splitting the bills. It happened to me once.”
