Nigerian men are not right for me, I’m marrying a white man - Sylvia Edem

Fast rising Nollywood actress, Sylvia Edem, may have immence love for Nigeria and her career as an actor in the Nigerian movie industry, but she certainly has no plans to extend that love towards Nigerian men.

While a lot of women revere Nigerian men, especially foreigners, it appears that love is not shared by all as one man's meat is another's poison. Actress Sylvia Edem has revealed that she has no plans to settle down with a Nigerian man and would rather go for a white man.

According to her, Nigerian men are not 'right for her' stating she has been in a couple of relationships with Nigerian men and it didn't work out. She further revealed she plans to settle with a white man instead.

She revealed this in a recent interview with Dupe Ayinla-Olasunkanmi: "Nope, I haven’t changed my mind about marrying a white man. Yea, I do believe in the saying that ‘Love conquers all’. I don’t have a problem with Nigerian men but I just feel they are not right for me. I’ve been in one or two relationships with Nigerian men, and I tried to make it work but it didn’t work, it didn’t favour me.

I’ve actually said I wanted to marry a white man right from when I was growing up. It’s not like Nigerian men are that bad but this is my own choice; it’s what I want. After trying two relationships with Nigerian men and it didn’t work for me, I gave up.

In a similar story, a Nigerian lady identified by her Twitter username, @FlawlessMilo, trended on social media after pictures from her traditional marriage surfaced online. The lady who is popular on Twitter for being a staunch feminist and also known for her hatred for men, caused massive shock waves with the news of her wedding.

Going through her tweets prior to her wedding, many people would have bet their lives on the fact that she would never have anything to do with men, especially Nigerian men. This is why a lot of people were stunned when news of her wedding to no other than a Nigerian man, popped up on the platform.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
