Nigerian comedian, Francis Agoda, popularly known as I Go Dye, has listed some of the reasons he believes African men can never be romantic like Americans.

The comedian took to his Instagram page to list some of the reasons to include the daily stress men go through to meet the needs of their family as well as the stress associated with living in Africa.

He wondered how an African man who is the sole sponsor of all financial needs of his family, as well as extended family, could have any form of romance left in him when the major thought on his mind would be how to struggle to pay numerous bills.

He wrote,

“How can an African man with this kind of loads be romantic like an American man? Children school fees, house rents, electricity bills, Medical bills, generator fuel & repairs, car fuel and repairs, feeding of family, clothes for children, Sallah or Christmas and New year bills, furniture and house maintenance, in-laws wahala/demand, his own aged parents, his siblings, most times his wife’s demands, vigilante bills, erecting building, religious demands, family social bills, electronics bills, recharge cards, extended family bills, community demands.”

He further added that despite all the financial needs, an African man is still confronted with stress which is not limited to his family.

He said,

“On top of the above, he also faces: wife stress, boss stress at work Police stress on the way, area boys stress, kidnappers fear, friends stress, economy stress, fear of job loss, unemployment pains, armed robbery stress, children misbehaviour, neighbour’s stress, bank loan payment stress, enemies stress, demonic attack stress, sex stress, and so on! OMG!!”

He asked if the reasons he listed were not enough to take romance out of the life of a man, urging African wives to be understanding and give their husbands peace at home.

“How can an African man with these kinds of loads be romantic like an American man?” the comedian asked.

He added,

“Women, please give your husband’s peace at home. Encourage your husbands.  Stop being sarcastic to them. Except if you like to join the widows club early! Note: that club is not funny, ask members, help your husband, contribute to the family, be a helper, be submissive.

“Stop nagging, build your home and marriage. It is not greener outside there, don’t be deceived!! Help your partner to live longer like you.”
