Afia, a British-Ghanaian, has spoken about the dating scene among Ghanaians residing in the United Kingdom (UK).

She said there is a trend where many Ghanaian men are not inclined towards serious relationships or marriage, particularly with their fellow countrywomen born in the UK.

In a candid discussion with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Afia asserted that a significant portion of Ghanaian men in the UK lack commitment to marriage, preferring instead to father children without the formalities of matrimony.

Mothers in the UK pamper their sons

She attributed this phenomenon to some men being overly dependent on their mothers, even into their forties, leading to a reluctance to engage in adult relationships fully.

Afia said she has decided to remain single until she finds a man willing to get married before having children. She says this is how she ensures that her future children have both parents actively involved in their lives.

Sharing her personal experience, Afia narrated that a Ghanaian man once expressed derogatory views towards British-born Ghanaian women, labelling them as aimless and promiscuous.

Unbeknownst to him, Afia herself was born in the UK, prompting her to challenge his prejudiced beliefs.

Afia is not the only Ghanaian struggling to find a man. A Ghanaian woman who also lives in the UK revealed no man proposed to her for about a year and six months.
