Songstress Simisola Bolatito
Ogunleye known by her stage name Simi has said that she doesn’t believe
Nigerian men are romantic, stating that she thinks it’s because “no one pushes
Nigerian men to fight for anything so they have this sense of entitlement.”
29 year old Simi who just
released her album “Simisola,” in an interview with Saturday Beats said:
“I don’t believe Nigerian men are
romantic. I think Nigerian men do not think they have to be romantic. I am not
saying this to bash men but I think no one pushes Nigerian men to fight for
anything so they have this sense of entitlement.
I was watching a Nigerian movie
one day and there was this unfaithful Nigerian man who left his wife for
another woman. At the end of the day, the other woman left him and he retraced
his steps to his initial wife. The lady’s mother actually told her to kneel in
front of the man and that bothered me a lot even though I knew it was a movie.
That is the way things are.
A lot of men grow up in this
country feeling entitled to certain things and they believe that they don’t
have to work for anything. This has been the case for generations and a lot of
our mothers were unhappy because the society expected them to stay in the
relationship.
I am not saying it is the right
thing for people to leave their relationships but a man needs to fight for what
he wants so he can value it. I think the problem is because a lot of Nigerian
men feel self-entitled and I blame our culture and our mothers. Most mothers
are the problem because when something happens, they are quick to advise the
daughter and wives, they don’t tell the men that their actions are wrong. So if
a man feels that he does not have to fight to keep the relationship, he would
not,” she said.
