She highlighted how Nigerian men are “very caring and supportive,” often enjoying the role of providers and partners who prioritise their girlfriends or wives.
Ayra noted a key shared trait with New York men, unwavering confidence. Both groups, she said, carry themselves with strong self-assurance that stands out in social and romantic settings.
While acknowledging cultural differences between Nigeria and New York, Ayra stated, “a man is a man,” noting that core behaviours in relationships, such as protectiveness, support, and boldness, go beyond location and background.
