Reality TV star Vee Iye has recently made a statement about the differences between men in Nigeria and the UK, based on her past experiences from both sides of the fence.
In a podcast discussion, Vee reflected on her previous relationships and praised Nigerian men for their ability to take responsibility for the financial implications that come with going on dates. She argued that, in comparison to their UK counterparts, Nigerian men are more accommodating in terms of covering the costs of going on dates.
Vee described her experience with British men being generally one of the ”˜50:50` method, meaning that both parties split the cost of a date down the middle. She pointed out that it was not due to stinginess in the UK, rather it was simply a cultural difference to how it is traditionally done in Nigeria.
Vee also admitted that she has sometimes brought this mentality with her when travelling back to Nigeria, going as far as to split the bill on dates with her men. Now, she recognizes that she was quite naive in doing this, considering it as being scammed out of her own hard-earned money.
