Speaking during the podcast about married men in Lagos approaching her, Veeiye said:

VEEIYE: I hope you know that majority of men on the streets are married. I want you to know. That is what is on the streets. I would say like 70% of men on the streets looking for people to date are not single. And I want people to start being honest about that. I live in Lagos. Let me think of one [scenario], I was at a house party, it was my friend's birthday. And he told me, "I have this friend, he wants to meet you, he likes you", and I was like okay. So I'm sitting by myself, and he brings this friend to me and he's like "oh, this is my friend". I said hi. He was like "oh I like you, I want to get your number". I wasn't really sure so I left it until the end of the party and I was like to my friend like, 'okay, give it to him'. And then, he messaged me the next day. And with me, I like to take my time. So you message me, before I reply, I'm going to check your Whatsapp picture to see what's happening, I'm going to check your Whatsapp story. I checked his Whatsapp story: "Oh my darling wife, my life, my love, my future, the keeper of my children", all the normal ones, and I just jejely just blocked. And that's the thing, the act itself is annoying. But it's the audacity. It's the guts. A lot of men are like that.

When I was living in the UK, cheating was the hugest deal breaker, moving to Lagos and seeing things with my own eyes, I'm just like something must kill a man because like I said, culture, it is more of a Westernized ideology for monogamy to be the norm. Whereas you come to Nigeria and polygamy is the norm.

Nawa! What do you think about what Veeiye said, as well as about this new trend of married men still going to toast single women on the streets? Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment either below or on my Jide Okonjo Facebook post.
