A Nigerian woman residing in Canada has criticized Nigerian men after posting inbox messages that some of them sent to her sister. Chisara Agoha published conversations with two separate men who objected to her and her sister, who lives in the UK, being at ease with life as single women. One of the men informed her sister that she would eventually find herself in need of a man, and went on to suggest she should humble herself. The second man greeted her and gave his introduction, but after receiving no reply, attempted to belittle her sister for disregarding his messages. Alongside the messages, Chisara wrote that she had never encountered a group of men so easily provoked as Nigerian men. She said most Nigerian men base their sense of self-worth on women needing them, even when what they provide falls short of the bare minimum, and that this is why a woman stating she wants neither marriage nor a man provokes such a reaction. She explained that her younger sister had posted something on TikTok along the lines of not succeeding without a man, prompting men to flood her comment section, with some also reaching out to her private messages. She noted that one man, who had repeatedly said hello and introduced himself without getting a response, was the sender of the message shown in the screenshot.
