What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Rapper Remilekun ‘Reminisce’ Safaru has shed light on the reasons behind the perceived lack of romance among Nigerian men.

The 43-year-old singer, in an interview on ‘Pulse Fun Facts’ with fellow artist Vector, posted on YouTube Friday, said societal pressures and cultural expectations made men often appear unromantic.

The ‘Alaga Ibile’ hitmaker added that Nigerian men are typically more focused on meeting financial obligations than expressing their emotions, noting that these pressures make it difficult for many men to embrace romance.

The singer, who portrayed Makanaki in ‘King of Boys: The Return Of The King,’ said, ‘‘Just yesterday, I was talking about this (Nigerian men being romantic). I said Nigerian men shouldn’t compare themselves to people like us because I’m unemployed. Since I turned 40, I don’t want to do anything; I just want to be a full-time house husband.

“If I feel like singing, I sing. I don’t want to stress myself. But how many people can afford to live like that? People wake up at 4 or 6 o’clock to beat traffic and deal with issues at work, and then women still expect them to come home and be romantic because they want a happy family and want him to take them on dates.”
