Senior UK IJGB content creator, Miss Demz, has spilt the tea on why she now avoids bringing American women into her Lagos social circle after a chaotic night out.
In a viral YouTube storytime titled “Why I Avoid American Girls in Lagos,” Demz recounted a specific incident where a friend’s direct approach and lack of awareness of local social cues led to a major breach of trust and “girl code.” She clarifies that her stance isn’t a blanket condemnation, but a lesson in how cultural “blind spots” can cause friction.
Key takeaways from her experience:
Cultural Friction: Clashes arose from differing approaches to dating and friendship, where being overly direct conflicted with Lagos’s nuanced social rules.
Breach of “Girl Code”: The incident centered on a lack of social awareness regarding unspoken dating norms within established circles.
New Boundaries Formed: The drama led Demz to be more selective about who she introduces to her personal Lagos space to protect her peace and friendships.
The story serves as a masterclass on navigating the high-stakes, reputation-conscious Lagos nightlife as a returnee.
