“I won’t date Simi until she apologizes for saying Nigerian men are not romantic” – Uche Maduagwu

Self-acclaimed Biggest Nollywood actor in Nigeria, Uche Maduagwu has declared that he would never date Simi, not until she apologizes for saying Nigerian men aren’t romantic

Recall in a recent interview with Sunday Scoop, the singer who just released her debut album, Simisola, said Nigerian men are not romantic and think the are entitled to anything.

In her words;

“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.”

Uche Maduagwu has disagreed with her, saying that Nigerian men are over-romantic. He then went ahead to say that if Simi doesn’t retract her statement, he would never date her. He wrote;

I’ll think about dating you if you apologize for saying Nigerian men are not romantic…? @symplysimi That’s wrong, Nigerian men are very #romantic, in short, “over romantic” is worrying some of us…?

Its only in #Nigeria, that you will see a man who doesn’t have much, but will still try his best to make sure his #girlfrienduses a better and more expensive #phonethan he does, is that not #romantic? @symplysimi

Honestly, you are one of the most #beautiful female singers in Nigeria, and that’s because you have a very unique sound which i feel makes you stand out, but i am the #biggest actor in Nigeria too, and i will only think about dating you if you apologize to Nigerian #men… Please nobody should beg me. #repost #music#nollywood #regrann #share #naija #pics#girls #fas
