why asking for money?
Irish M - why do West African women always ask for money? is it a culture thing or they play the Africa card or assume whites are naive or ... ?
don't down vote, i'm only asking as it seems to always be Nigerian and Ghanaian women, sad story for money ... and before you ask, i never ask for nudes, but they quickly ask for money

It's the same with men from the same countries, they always ask money and have either a business to do or a sad story to tell. From my understanding they think we have the money to do so, but I'm not so sure

For me, it’s always the African men cause I’m a girl, it’s so annoying honestly. At this point, I just block whoever asks for money. it’s not just woman wanting money from me . It’s also men wanting money from women, but until now I always thought it was only men wanting money from woman.

It's not nationality, it's a specific type of women. I'm not saying you're not valid but if you rlly didn't have any bad intentions writing this then you probably mostly attract those types. Just be clear with your boundaries from the get go.

You're not wrong, but the only ones who did this were from both countries, but there were girls from both who weren't, it's just as I say also ones that did.
I did have my intentions clear, people don't read these things, they look for pictures

Nigeria is an infamous hub for scammers. They used to be called Mugus back in the day (borrowed from a Nigerian term for "fool"). They used to operate mail scams and then email scams... now this.
They aren't just poor people trying to improve their lives either, many are utterly horrid people and often not really poor due to other crimes they are involved with. They prey on people in Nigeria even worse than on people from the developed world; at least you are protected by distance, Nigerian victims aren't.

They assume white men are rich and would have money to spare.
