There is popular parlance that states a prophet is never regarded in his hometown and such is the case for most Nigerian men as Nigerian women never seize to find a slight chance to bash them for not doing so well in relationships/marriages.
The case is different with foreign women that have had a taste of the Nigerian juice and never looked back. One time American singer, Tamar Braxton was gushing about her man she said: “I met him at a friend’s birthday party, thank you, God, he’s so fine! I can’t take it sometimes. It’s like a whole snack — a Lunchable! He lives in L.A., he’s originally from Nigeria, but he lived here for a while.”
