Hofstede's method serves to identify the cultural patterns of each group, behavioral discrepancies and improve our understanding of other cultures by examining how cultural values ​​affect this behavior. Below are the graphs thrown by the Hofstede method comparing Nigerian and Colombian culture. The purple bars represent the Nigerians and the blue ones represent the Colombians. When looking at the graphs it is clear that there is a lot of similarity in 3 aspects between the two cultures. Masculinity  (MAS) , long term orientation (LTO) and indulgence (IND) .

It is believed that this is caused mostly by the patriarchal nature of African culture and therefore many girls are forced to withdraw from school after elementary school. On the other hand in Colombia, although the number of girls in mixed schools is lower than that of male students, there is quite a difference with respect to the level of education they reach in comparison to Nigerians. Where i was able to study, a similar number of girls graduated from those who started studying with me taking into account that girls were 40% of the people in my class. Another important aspect to deal with is that 50% of Nigerian women get marr
