She had this to say;
“I find it hard make friends with women that have grown up and spent their whole lives in Nigeria just because I feel like their mind set is very different and sometimes I think people take it like you are snubbish or whatever and its like no…”
Coker continued;
“I will give you a very good example..
When you are out and maybe on a table, if a girl that never lived out of Nigeria comes to the table, she will greet the guys and not greet the woman and I am always like why?
What is your problem?
I was here first. You should have least said hi”, the mother of one said.

This Stephanie Coker woman has bad vibes, this negative aura around her. It’s clear from her pictures, so that video going round isn’t even surprising. She looks like the poster girl for classism and condescending attitude.

Yes, a lot of women have experienced what Stephanie Coker said. A woman comes around and greets all the men, then pointedly ignores the woman. However, greeting is a 2 way street, turn it around by greeting the woman so she feels welcome and loosens up. Stephanie should try it.

Lol this is so weird honestly. Stephanie Coker is a very good podcaster and host. Why should she leave her talent because you don’t like her style or disagree with what she said?
You don’t have to watch her.
Nigerians and gatekeeping. https://t.co/NtWcX5iGxa— Yvonne • The Sanctified Techie (@YvonneOgwulu) December 8, 2022
