Nollywood actress, Zainab Balogun has revealed why she hasn’t found love since she relocated to Nigeria .

While she was having an interview with Punch, stated that she has not found a man that interest her in the country. The actress who relocated to Nigeria about six years ago from London where she had spent most part of her life said since she came to Nigeria she has not found a man after her heart.

In her statement she made it known that she was surprised at the behaviour of men who lives in Lagos and felt they needed to hold a joint meeting to have a solution to their behaviour. Zainab who passed a message across to her future husband, saying, “I am not in a relationship, but when you find my future husband, tell him that I am here waiting for him. I don’t know what is wrong with Lagos boys and I think the men should hold a meeting and ask one another what the problem is.

“Lagos is an interesting city when it comes to romance and I think we have our own unique language when it comes to love. However, since I got to Lagos about six years ago, I have not found anyone that has tickled my fancy. The few criteria I am looking for in a man are that he must be humorous, honest and transparent.

“He does not have to be rich, but he has to be aspirational because I am a very driven person and I spend a lot of time working. I cannot date a lazy person, we have to match each other when it comes to working hard.”

She explained that it took her about two years to adapt to the Lagos lifestyle, but now she is proud to call herself a Lagosian.

The actress said, “I am a very aspirational and self-driven person, who is deeply rooted in family. I did not run away from home, I was born and raised in London, but I took the risk of moving back to Nigeria. I came back to Nigeria because I wanted to take on a new challenge. I have been in London all my life and felt that it was time to continue my career in Nigeria.

“My parents did not want me to come to Nigeria, but it felt like the right time to come to Nigeria. I have been in Nigeria for six years and I am happy with my decision. Moving to Lagos was not that easy and it took me about three years to adjust to the lifestyle. My main problem with Lagos was the traffic situation because I decided that I was going to drive myself. I also had to learn about the culture, but I eventually adapted.”
