Nigerian footballer, Mikel Obi, and his family are currently on vacation in Nigeria and his partner, Olga Diyachenko, has expressed shock as Nigeria does not seem to be what as she thought especially the women.

Olga who is Russian, took to Instagram to share some landscape pictures and photos of her kids. She praised Nigerian women for their calmness and sense of pride and hoped her kids would inherit that too.
She wrote “Nigeria, what a surprise you’ve turned out be. 🇳🇬 But, if I’m to say what impressed me most, it’s The Women. So much; grace, charisma and not a shred of insecurity. Nigerian women walk swaying their beautiful hips with their backs impeccably straight, heads held high, knowing their worth. Their attitude is strong, yet very sensual, regardless whether it’s a wealthy woman walking through a 5 star hotel or a young girl crossing the road at 7 AM rushing to work. Although may I say, Nigerian women do not rush, nor do they fidget, they simply glide.
The way Nigerian women preserve their culture and traditions is admirable. They don’t chase international designers or dress according to Vogue, they wear beautiful traditional dresses, dance the traditional dances and do it all with pride!
I hope Ava and Mia will inherit the calmness, sense of pride, posture and self worth that I’ve witnessed Nigerian women posses with such ease. Nigerian Women hat off to you 🙌🏼 #Nigeria #Pride #Women💚”
Mikel and his partner Olga, have two kids together – Ava and Mia.
