How did the male dominance start
You come with women liberation and womens rights movement, you preached the equality of a man and a woman, no problem. I saw a bus develop problems a couple of days ago at UNIPORT, the vehicle had a bad kick starter. To get the vehicle running again, the perssengers will have to push the bus. What I saw happen is that all the guys came out to do just that and no single lady made any attempt to come out of the bus to assist. Even if you do not want to assist do not increase the weight of the bus. You cannot always eat your cake and have it. When it sooths you you insist that you are a woman and want all the rights of the so called "weaker sex" and later when it doesn't, you insist on equality shocked What a world

If you are talking from experience, then we will listen, else your assertion still remains a hypothesis like the others. We all have our different capacities of withstanding stress. If you cannot do it does not mean that somebody else cannot.

Provide the taxi for the man to drive, na there we stop. Why should he go to another state to drive taxi Anyone not matured enough to know that life is full of ups and downs does not deserve to be called an adult.

How come it is the same story the world over. There were no communications equipment for them to communicate in those days, or did they all agree to sit done at the iroko trees in all the continents of the world to decide the same thing

My friend, you should commend the man for finding worthy employement instead of suggesting the family "eats" maturity and watch ups and downs for entertainment. He fed his family did he not?

Read well and understand me "I NO SAY WHY HIM DRIVE TAXI?, I CLAP FOR AM SEF" what I said is that he did not have to go to another state to do it. If he did that for his ego and pride, then that is a new problem on its own. If he stayed back to drive the cab, then those that would have been laughing were nit fit to be called adults, because it is only children that do not acknowledge that life is filled with ups and downs and that the only thing that is constant is change cry

It just means that it is more lucrative to drive a cab in NYC than to do so in Alabama!  Please read between the lines!  Your analysis of certain issues seriously leaves a whole lot to be desired! Bully? Is that the same thing as an assertive reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal woman--La femme Nakita?

Why e be say anything when I talk dey pain you for body

I have only one question, if you can answer frankly then I will rest my case.
Is it possible for a graduate who has lost his job to let go of his pride and decide to do any thing to survive like drive a cab. Also because people in his immediate environment know that he is a graduate, decides to go to another state where he is not known. That way he keeps food on the table and does not give room to his neighbours to gossip about the turn of events and save face. (lets say at least in Nigeria)
If yes, that was the angle that I was coming from embarassed

I dey laff!  Let go of which pride? undecided  Your above write up just proves to me that you are still a kid!  You have a lot of growing up to do.  Please next time we are discussing matters like this, Nigeria does not even come into the picture ok?  Simply because your priorities are mixed up over there.  In fact, you have no priorities over there.  Please we are talking of "the civilized" world not 20th world mentalities of "gossip relishing"!!!!

When person no agree with your "All wise" opinions, the person is very childish. I cannot be lead by the nose because you say so. What gives me cause for worry, is the way you insult Nigeria and Nigerians. I can really imagine what folks in your neighbourhood feel about Nigeria and Nigerians. Like you said you are stuck being Nigerian and at every point, I trust American will rob it in your face.

If you like tell them say all Nigerians na thief, when something lost, na you go be the first suspect grin grin grin
