Toke Makinwa claims Nigerian men lack emotional depth

Nollywood actress and media personality Toke Makinwa has made strong claims about the emotional depth of mist Nigerian men.

While speaking in a recent episode of the MENtality podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Makinwa claimed that some men only have material things to offer their partners.

She explained that the perception of Nigerian women as being overly materialistic stems partly from the fact that many Nigerian men believe financial provision is the primary value they bring to a relationship.

“From time immemorial, a relationship between a man and a woman has always been transactional, right from the Garden of Eden, right from our parents’ days. And the degree at which it is happening now, I will blame the men. Sometimes, that [financial benefits] is all men have to offer. Nigerian men don’t have games aside from money. Once a Nigerian man makes money, he starts throwing it at the hottest girls. Sometimes, you meet a man and you want to know him but he is offering you money. Men have offered women strangest things and it made me realise that men feel cash is all they need to show you. Most girls who are materialistic today, men taught them how to make demands,” she stated.
