I have worked with Nigerian men in a Western country, and some (not all Nigerians) are a loud and like showing off. Probably to massage their own broken ego; history and politics of Nigeria tell it all. As for Kenyan men, the majority are live and let live; they are not intimidated by Nigerians. PROOF: The GenZ protests; majority of who were men. Kenyan men don't waste their precious energy to impress women. They have bigger battles to fight. Kenyan men dont run to Nigeria for greener pastures. Nigerian men run to Kenya because there are better opportunities; a country that was built by mostly Kenyan men. Calm waters run deep.
"Nigerians run to Kenya for better opportunities", let that sink in, why would Kenyans be intimidated by Nigerians ?, who are running from their hell hole country.
You saying that because u don't know what liegerians do here in nairobi & is not different than what sans keep saying.sans are fighting for their country and future.
Honestly, I think the idea that Kenyan men are intimidated by Nigerian men is kind of rooted in insecurity and societal pressure more than anything else. Nigerian men, especially in the media and entertainment, are portrayed as confident, ambitious, and successful. They have this larger-than-life presence, especially with the rise of Afrobeats and Nollywood dominating global culture. So naturally, there might be some feeling of being overshadowed when Kenyan men are not getting the same level of recognition or visibility. But here’s the thing: it’s more of a perception than a reality. I think a lot of Kenyan men feel the weight of comparison whether it’s business, fame, or even how we express ourselves as men. Kenyan culture tends to be more laid-back, less "in your face" than the often bold, unapologetic Nigerian persona. This can make it seem like Nigerian men have this edge, but really, it’s about different expressions of confidence. When you get down to it, it's not about being intimidated by Nigerian men it’s more about Kenyan men not fully embracing their own identity and strengths. We have our own rich culture, success stories, and achievements, but there’s this constant feeling that we need to live up to someone else’s standard. I think that's where the intimidation comes in: we feel like we have to match or outdo what Nigerian men are doing to prove ourselves. But why compete when we can learn from each other? Instead of feeling insecure, Kenyan men need to embrace the unique qualities of their own culture and strength. There’s no need to feel overshadowed when we can carve out our own space in the world, just like Nigerians have done. And Nigerian men, while they might seem more visible or successful in certain spaces, can learn from the Kenyan approach of humility and resilience. At the end of the day, this is more about overcoming the need to compare and recognizing that both cultures have something powerful to bring to the table. So, for Kenyan men, it’s about embracing that confidence in who you are, without needing to outdo anyone else. And for everyone, it’s time to stop measuring ourselves by external standards and focus on our own journey. What do you think? How can we start changing this mindset and build each other up instead of feeling threatened?
how are we going to feel intimidated when they are running to live in our country,built by us the kenyan men,who really is the man,...exactly..there is nothing to explain,only du mb women fall for their fa ke tric king theatrics😅😅
Well said, that does make al sense, we have our own path and lane so we should never feel the need to compare ourselves to Nigerians because we are unique in our own way.
Stereotypes are very powerful,this Nigerian image is largely stereotypical pushed by Nigeria's large population hence more visibility among Africans and the decade long slogan by Nigerians that 'Nigeria is the giant of Africa's...even Nigerian politicians push this..the Nigerian VP the other day said Nigeria is the greatest black nation on earth.If Nigerians were as strategic,smart e.t.c. than others how come Nigeria is doing badly.
The phrase "a glass half empty" is an idiom that refers to a person's tendency to focus on the negative aspects of a situation rather than the positive ones. It's often used to describe a pessimist's outlook, while an optimist would describe the same glass as "half full"

@@4theculturecoI am sorry it was not my intention was not to criticize you I'm on your page and I agree with the message you are passing as an African American woman, that message was for all of us Africans. When they come to Africa or other Countries especially whites they are considered as Expatriates but on the other side as an African or a so-called minority despite being well off you are still labeled as an Immigrant with a negative connotation
Rochelle, l have so much tea 🍵l can tell you on this topic,,,,l lost my african american gurl frend to a naija man ( someone mentioned her here in your previous comments),,,my nieces been married to these men,,,they come to Kenya to hook on foreign women since there are so many😢 expats working here for international organizations based here...!...Don't forget that some do drugs trafficking here.
@4thecultureco Rochelle, there's nothing like competition,,,it all boils down to preferences,,,we both did a lot of research, considering she was working for her phd in History, formerly a graduate at Howard,,,from slavery to colonialism and arts, which are my areas of immense interest. Having taken ancestral DNA, she realized she more bantu with a dark shade of the Fulanis of Nigeria,,,l am a bantu too, though origins from the Congo Basin of the Kikuyu stock,,,now that was the area of departure,,,she was more inclined to go back to her roots and make a clear full circle with her origins,,, Resentment?,,,yes, since l loved her and it was hard to let go

South African men are 💯 intimidated by Naija men 🤒😩 Kenyan men don’t really care 🤷🏿♂️

Nigerian men are smart, intelligent,hard working and very Afrocentric in their traditional attires...their confidence is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙌💯
Kenyan men are smart and hard working too.
@@coyoluo still waiting to hear about 10 smart and intelligent kenyan men in lagos living in a rented room doing some "business".
@@orisenabritt You will end up on someone's plate as dinner, go and find out.
Nigerians are smart and intelligent, but they cant help their country to figure how to keep the lights on.
3:22 💯 😂 Nigerian men have the spirit of Father Abraham 😂. My daughter is half Nigerian, half Papua New Guinean 🇳🇬🇵🇬.

I agree with your perspective. Both parties need to embrace their unique qualities because there’s somebody for everybody.

This is a very interesting topic. Do more videos about it and make them longer
kindly describe the difference between an Expatriate, an immigrant, and a refugee, more not or often its semantics. Decolonise your mind
What makes you assume I don’t know the difference? You clearly are not familiar with all my content or the work I do.
