British-born Nigerian actress Beverly Naya has highlighted aspects she would like to see changed in men, particularly Nigerian men. She expressed a desire for men to be more in tune with their emotions, akin to women.
The actress observed that Nigerian men are often conditioned to perceive emotional vulnerability as a sign of weakness.
In a recent interview with actor Efa Iwara, Naya was asked what she would love to change about men, and she said: “I wished men were more in touch with their emotions like women are. And vulnerable, women appreciate that so much.
“One thing I have noticed is that when a man can be vulnerable with a woman and can’t explain how and when it happened, he’s in love with that woman. It’s done.
“I wished that men would just be more vulnerable more often without feeling judged for it or embarrassed for being vulnerable.
“I feel like men, essentially Nigerian men are conditioned to believe that vulnerability is a sign of weakness. And I don’t agree with that.
“So, I would love that to change. I would love for men to embrace their vulnerable and sensitive sides a lot more.”
