Why not respond to the rest of my post. Why is it that you only have issue with the responsibility part?
Because i think this guys are trying to let you know they see nothing wrong in the rest of your post( which is sensible and humble) and they have found somthing wrong with the part of "even if promiscuous" but you have failed to even reason with them probably out of pride, one sided emotions or some kind of sexist mentality

Found the case @ Coogar
Here


Sikirat Agbaje, 68, is a British citizen of Nigerian heritage who got completely cremed by her husband Olusola, 71, when the barrister filed for divorce against his wife in Nigeria. In the outcome, Olusola received upwards of £600,000 and gave her a paltry £7,000 after 40 years of marriage and five children
. Not surprisingly, the Nigerian Courts somehow thought that was equitable for this stand up guy of a husband (and barrister!) to leave his wife destitute and practically penniless after 40 years of marriage and five kids. Big surprise. Anyway, to make a long story short, Sikirat brought suit in England, I guess to try to set aside the Nigerian judgment and re-open the divorce case so that she could revisit the issue of equitable distribution. It has been a circuitous journey through the London courts for the Nigerian senior citizen to say the least.

Imagine the wickedness
After 40 years of marriage and raising 5 children the man keeps 600K pounds and she gets a mere 7k by the stupid Nigerian system
I doff my hat for this woman for refusing to take the insult

Then her chi heard her cry and cane to her aid

A Nigerian couple who are naturalized British citizens received word that the London courts had overturned their Nigerian divorce judgment. Many lawyers in England are ecstatic by the developments.
The case came to public scrutiny last year when the wife sued the husband in the London courts. The husband had obtained a divorce judgment in Lagos that basically left his wife of 38 years destitute, and gave him over £600,000. Says the UK Telegraph:
Mr Agbaje issued divorce proceedings in the Nigerian court which awarded his former wife a life interest in a property in Lagos and a lump sum equivalent to about £21,000.
But she went to the High Court in London where a judge awarded her a lump sum of £275,000 – almost 40 per cent of the former couple’s assets.

BTW the main asset is a piece of property in London praise God
He can keep the Lagos one!na the one in London better pass
I hope they have sold it and she has collected her 275K

Well America and Great Britain and all civilized countries disagree
LOL @ the text in bold. You need to read up some accounts of Ibn Fadlan on his first impressions of these civilized people.

^ They do not force their women to wear burqa and ban women from appearing in public places.

at the end of the day,
in the civilized nations, women have rights. not 100% but much much better than the rest of the world.

It appears in your dictionary, "civilized" is a synonym for "good treatment of women". Have you read Ibn Fadlan's accounts or not?

what an interesting story - FT said she was awarded £21,000 & the interest on one house totalling about £80,000 in nigeria but she got thrice as much in the UK. the UK is the divorce capital in the world so i ain't surprised about the decision. i am sure they married in the UK.

rotflmao. so should I also go and start reading D'banj's account of American civilization too? what exactly is your damn point?

what makes Ibn Fadlan such an important "expert" that his opinion should be a gold standard of what a civilization is?
abi you are also turning into Coogar? using all these so called "experts" to support your silly arguments.

rubbish. Reality speaks. u don't need to quote ibn fadlan (or whaever d nonentity is) for me or any KNOW that America is a more civilized place than Nigeria.

maybe you should take Ibn Fadlan's expert essays to Ayefele's band members and millions of other Nigerians who will risk their lives to escape the Nigerian jungle civilization hahaha.

if they could change it back to what we have in nigeria, they would! however, they are long gone now & there's no redemption until more kids raised without their fathers take guns to school & maim their school mates like rabbits.......

only in naija where women are delegated to the status of children.

be honest with yourself. you don't have d opportunity to leave. either that or you are senator yerima's son. helping to siphon the nation's wealth to your coffers. vacationing abroad every summer while claiming "I have no desire to leave"
Re: Divorce And The Suffering Of The Nigerian Women! by Snaaz(m): 4:28am On Jan 07, 2014
Its so strange how women rant about this equality thing and tend to throw it away when money is involved. A man has to help you in the kitchen, help you take care of the kids but when after divorce, you want a salary from him for once being his wife. Ladies stop confusing yourselves. Why can't a man be settled by his wife after divorce? Shey you are a woman, the emotionally stronger and more hardworking gender. Pls you can handle the divorce and you can as well go and work for your own money. I will take care of my kids but definitely not a former acquintance cos that's what a divorced wife is to me.

of course. ideally if we had gender equality, 50% of families in Nigeria will have a female breadwinner. in case of divorce, the husband will be entitled to alimony. it goes both ways and I support it 100%

this is the story of a millionaire woman who divorced her husband in USA. the husband got a lot of money in alimony (temporary spousal support) after the divorce
