carefreewannabe: I just read the first few lines and it made me SCREAM:


PLEASE, TALK FOR YOURSELF AND YOURSELF ONLY.


I do not like to depend on anyone AND there is nothing wrong with a man being confident enough to say that his wife is the breadwinner if the situation and circumstances require it or if the couple wants to have it this way.

Hello carefreewanabe, I think the OP is right with what she said above to some extent but kinda been to harsh on men.

What I know so far is that God has made the woman as an help meet for the man but it will be responsible enough for the man to be able to cater for the family's needs cos if he is unable to do so, the Biblical account states that he is worst than an infidel

But @ OP, I will advice you soften ur pedal on this issue.

Well OP, I'm sorry about the way u feel. I think I can actually understand. These things are becoming more common these days.

However, if a man isn't the bread winner, he should appreciate his wife who brings the Bacon in enough: me I dont pray to be in his shoes sha. OLOUNMAJE!

Time has also toughened quality of living, so the approach in the present day is both of them work and being in income so as to live a better life. I'm personally in the class of men who believe in working very hard and if possible provide all my family will need. But also I think its wise if you encourage your wife's ambition and support her career. If she becomes a Deziani later on in life, its all good for you both, but that doesn't mean the man is lazy! These things happen. I actually prefer more the industrious type of woman, the man can pour all his income into her business till it becomes BIG. If the guy then has career problem, don't call him lazy or shameless. You don't know how they started. Many wives today owe where they are to their husband's support.

Finally, I passionately detest men who hang all the home responsibilities and chores to the wife. God made wives a help, not a slave. Most guys naturally become lazy after getting married. I blame it partly on the ladies, you ought to have cautioned it when he started. Many things ought to have been settled in courtship - that's why you shouldn't rush into marriage with a guy you can't talk to.

NB: women have by their own hands created the world they live in now, GENDER INEQUALITY is an anomaly to the way GOD wired man and woman to be. You alter the law of nature, you face the consequences!! !

Me too, I see no reasonable man take pride in this. Even when you still date a lady, you still kinda maintain your ego. How much more settling down.

thirsty hoes

the level of ashewo in Nigeria today is just too bad...

and women are still reigning supreme in this regard

i dont encourage ashewos...

this op wants ashewo business to flourish

women should learn how to develop skills other than selling their punny around to unwitting, hapless idiots...

men should do what is necessary for a woman who has demonstrated not to be an ashewo and that she loves him...

that is all.

Sorry to disappoint you @ OP...that was in the days of old like you rightly said...women of nowadays want equal rights, and don't forget that God created everybody for a purpose, so if God has destined the woman to be more successful than the husband and ready to be submissive, it takes an understanding man to give her the necessary support she deserves...so its not about laziness most times.

shelter4luving: Is like out of all the things in the world increasing, the only thing depreciating is LOVE.
when i was a little girl, there's this picture of men i had in my head. i see them as people that are strong, hardworking, brave and people that can defend and protect women. probably all these qualities was meant to be them ,but today, it's difficult to see men with these attribute. what i see now is, different from what i thought.
1. now some men are confidence and bold to publicly tell people how their wife is the bread winner of the family. i even hear this during testimonies in church. oh sorry to say this. if she's the bread winner, please don't expect total respect all the time.
2. Is like all men now want a working, independent woman. so the woman wouldn't depend on them. forgetting that every woman love to depend on his man even if she have the whole money in the world. if a woman cant depend on you, of what use are you to her?
3. a lot of men can actually lie, pretend to love a rich lady just for the sake of her money or fame. that's why you keep seeing advert: ' i want a sugar mummy who can pay' it's disappointing.
4. most men don't even care nor appreciate how the woman manage her time to take care of the children, and still rush home from work to prepare food for the family. rather they keep going around forming Baddest Boy Ever liveth. chasing other ladies and don't even consider how the woman feels. Mr. man, are you not suppose to protect that woman instead of giving her pains and making her cry?
Men, please what's up with you?
if you continue this way, our little boys wouldn't learn how to be real men.
please arise and be the real man you were created to be.



you this confused girl, you wrote total rubbish. from a married woman to a young boy forming baddest guy!!

Re: What's Happening To Our Men? by toby2(m): 8:06am On Jul 10, 2014
5minsmadness:
The bitter truth is, no man can take care of a child as well as a woman. Women are naturally endowed to cater for and nourish children both physically and emotionally. The man brings in the discipline and hardiness necessary for the child to grow and survive in a harsh society, the woman brings in the love and softness needed to keep the child decent, sane and human . but now women don't have time to do this and (most?)men know next to nothing about taking care of the kids.

The family unit is under serious threat due to this current trend in role reversal in the name of equality and people will keep painting the problem over to meet their own selfish needs.

Personally I think its all part of the divine plan. Things will deteriorate further and there will be absolute chaos. Then peace will come.

well said my Oga at the top, well said sir, and i think this is the major reason why the children (adults inclusive) have become nuinsances to the society (mind u, not all) and the societal chaos is sky rocketing. Children killing their parents, indecent dressings, weed smoking on the rampage to mention but a few. And all these jus because two peeps wu were given specific role and functions to play decide to swap roles... Like u said, i hope peace reigns, cos life is becomin more boring than eva. Even wit the civilized toys, it is still sore boring.

OLUJOSHINS: 1) A man without a vision will happily boast about his wife being the bread winner. Note that not all men fall under this status. The only reason why they appear to have a higher majority to U is dat Most women dont recognize a man with a vision from his early days. They are usually blinded by the attractive life of the visionless men either because he has 6 packs, he is tall fair and cute, or he has a very sweet mouth. The less attractive guys with a vision go through hard times just to get a lady look their way.

2) Women naturally are meant to be dependent on their husband. When U grant her financial independence then be prepared for its consequences. Only a less realistic man will an independent woman.

3) Is a result of an unfortunate lazy nature of (some) men in this generation.

4) Is embedded in most men due to african mentality.

Big lie. A woman should not be denied her financial independence. Howmany men, give their wives families money as much as they give theirs? Dont you think the families of girl children also have needs?
Biko spare me all that one jare.
If a woman can carry her own weight financially then let her. If you marry a good wife, you will enjoy her hard work and wisdon. Unless you plan to lock her to your trouser by making sure she depends on you to buy sanitary pads and pants. To me that is not a happy home. Yes she may stay due to lack but if she gets money later and you happen to depend on her, she will see it as normal to also lock you down too just like you too were using money to control her.
Any household with a good mom who is making money will know the power moms purse can give when dads is a bit down. School fees get scraped and paid, pocket money, book money etc. Mom gives and says dad will pay o. But bottom line is, the money is provided without the family going to beg or borrow.
Abegi, let me tell you, a bad wife will show her bad side as soon as she gets the opportunity not because she works.
And why the hell are men of nowadays finding it ok to diacus their women feeding them?
Chei the days if MEN are far gone.
