In a recent podcast interview, podcast host Moet Abebe gave an analysis on what differentiates Nigerian men and men from other countries, with emphasis on the U.K.
Moet Abebe said that while staying in the U.K, she has been approached by all caliber of men from different countries, regardless of their financial backgrounds.
She also said that even if a man is a taxi driver or a fast-food restaurant worker, he still has the confidence to approach a woman he likes in the U.K.
According to her analysis, Nigeria is a classist society, and as such, men are valued based off of how much they have.
If a man isn’t doing so well in life and approaches a lady in Nigeria, he is considered a nuisance, while abroad, such a man is deemed as confident.
Moet Abebe got a lot of support in the comments, with netizens chirping in and sharing similar opinions.
