ogugua88: Women who are successful and financially independent intimidate some men for at least a few reasons:

1. They're confident, which can sometimes be interpreted as arrogance.
2. They have their own money and can buy their own things, support themselves, etc.
3. They can make a man feel inferior or inadequate, due to reasons given in point 2.

Men, particularly African men, are raised thinking that they are to be the provider; sole more than likely. Gender stereotyping is still rampant. A woman is to cook and clean; a man is to work. A woman who can do what a man can do renders a man useless.

A lot of men have egos, even if they won't admit it in front of women. In all honesty, however, there are some independent women out there who behave like they have both an egg and sperm. I, personally, think men should be more open to independent women as they've got a lot to offer. They're fierce, bold, and can be your rock in tough times. Meanwhile, independent women should be the go-getters that they are and still be womanly. Make a man feel like the man he is; you don't have to do all and be all because you're successful. No one likes a woman with an attitude, regardless of her wealth, fame, beauty, or whichever assets she may have.

Every lady wants a jeep. When you ask why, they say, 'So I can be looking down on other cars'. (My mom inclusive). It's mere arrogance, nothing more!

I remember dating one of these so called "successful" ladies years back. She was working in a major oil firm, while my hustle wasn't blessed yet. I wasn't in anyway intimidated, as par correct Edo boy, but trust me, I still gat cuts from the blade of her deadly tongue. Today the story is different, her per annum means nothing to me, business is good now. Saw her at the airport recently, she looked all smoked out, lonely but still proud.

Most women are flippant, but the successful ones come with extra dose of poison. Few brothers can handle the pain, so we leave them lonely.

simpleseyi:

Guys why nah? See what you have turned this lady and many others to after so many heart-breaks, so many abortions for different guys. Several times catching so-called boyfriends in bed with different bed mates, so many lies and deceit. Guys please change your ways and stop these ladies from turning lesbo.

This lady was in a state of confusion while she typed the above nonsense, the last heart-break must have been so painful. That is why girls/ladies are warned to keep their legs closed until wedding night but they will never learn. Look at the venom regretting free-giver is spitting.

But wait oo, Aunty Independence, have you tried Femi Fani-Kayode, I heard he treats women well.
why dont you give any of your relations to him mr gigolo.smh.lmao grin

peterjero: Its simple "cowardice" men are cowards they are afraid and can't take charge they shud go and learn from Urhobo men, they can tame any woman on earth even the likes of Margaret Thatcher. They shud be able to earn the respect so that the women can be submissive.
You mean by use of slaps and punches
Not all men are cavemen na. Btw, uroboh girls are one of the most aggressive girls in this country.
While serving, I witnessed an ss1 girl pull out a cutlass on an ss3 boy almost twice her height.
There is a difference btw aggressiveness, and independence bro

kulyie: you remind me of this song this deeper lifers usually sing in our former neighbourhood


I AM MARRIED TO JESUS ,SATAN LEAVE ME ALONE grin.........

Anyway,to each his own and for the records i am a boss in my own field and i am not wicked,i might be firm and a bit difficult,but i am objective,unemotional and unsentimental when it comes to sensitive decision making processes,so rule wickedness out.its a strong word
Kind of like you. You sound better and more mature this time. You share every bit of my attributes, but being slightly emotional as a woman is commendable.

I would want my wife to be successful. Look @ it this way, if you have sisters, wouldn't U want them to be successful ?
But the fact is that, a lot of successful women have developed some masculine characteristics such as; aggression, assertiveness etc which are needed for the survival in the corporate world. Their feminine xteristics such as tenderness and empathy have been suppressed.
Of course, there are some who can find the right balance. A woman who can still play her role irrespective of her success is a crown.

Yeah! I have given my cousin's dog to him, the dog is up to the task. But, you did not address the issues I pointed out. Sorry my sister, don't mind those bad guys, they are giving us bad names.

Learn from Dora Akuyili and Ngozi Okonjo-Iwella, they are successful and happily married and never learn from Stella Oduah and Arunnah Oteh, they are looters and divorced.

mikeuz:





U can decieve everybody but u can't decieve me. Everybody at one point or another needs somehow to call his or her oWn. Even if u adopt or plant children inside u,they will stil grow and leave you. Boredom and loneliness go kill u. Insemination requires a man's sperm that same man you don't want to tell you what to do. To bring up a child requires the love and authority of a man. Just wait when your child gets older he or she will begin to ask you question. Fathers meeting in school or church,family picnics,they will see others with their fathers, and will question you, be prepared to tell them your ego is to blame. Infact I don't think you have ego,I rather think you are just foolish. You are a woman accept it. You can't run away from it. Even if you are a lesbian,you are still a woman,and being a woman comes with certain responsibilities as being a man also comes with its own. Be responsible yound lady. Search for that man that wil understand and be ready to sacrifice for you,you too should be ready to make sacrifices too. I really wished you made life but u didn't so don't be lazy,Deal with life.
if you want to preach,i am sure you know where to go and or register in a pastoral trainning institute or whatever it is called,i am the wrongest person to be giving long boring sermons to.moreover,


it is my decision,i have made my decisions,i am woman enough to face ANYTHING that comes after it,all that is my buisness to deal with and they are the back of my palm,so why are you telling me tales by moonlight.

Guys do not run frm them 'cos they r financially independent, bt because they hv attitude problem & lack d basic qualities the men admire & long to see in the woman they hv long drmt to be their wife. To me, if they r virtuous, this wldn't b a topic; besides men thz days don't want women dat will become a liability to them

My final submission cool
I love independent women. Maybe because my mum exemplifies it to the fullest.
The only trick in living with a successful woman, is for you not to be an unsuccessful man!
She can earn as much as oprah, but you J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ make sure you have what takes you out in the morning, and brings you back. Its when you have nothing you get the bad side of successful women. And I really can't blame them.
I don't see anything wrong with a man with ambition marrying a woman with purpose and Drive.
Its their type that pulls the man and his children through a burning fire instead of abandoning ship.
Most importantly, you know from the very onset that she loves you for you, and not your money.
#cheers to all the independent ladys in the world cool
