Let's not go deep.

I do not believe Nigerian men wants their wives to suffer, if not, majority of what we have as gadgets in the homes won't even enter Nigeria in the first place.

Those who are with men that are against buying gadgets or using them are reaping the reward of their own decisions just like men who married 5 inches fingernails wives who do nothing but order other people's children around to take care of them!

grin grin grin

True!

Now this is funny, how many educated men stop their wives from making money?

How many naija men do home chores and assist in the care of the children? Now, that's a good question.

I don't even think this here is a question of education.

I think some men hide between such statements because they don't want to confess that they cannot afford a washing machine or whatever

We cannot afford it...go buy it. Men can't even afford bride prize.Nothing from men...

Then what is the women doing to help the man financially so he can buy all the gadgets in the home? A wife is suppose to help the husband progress, so if you are married to a man and years after, he is still poor, then check your decision making process.

I didn't say men cannot afford it but men who claim that only lazy people need such gadgets use such statements as an excuse.

The men I know do so I can only speak for those I know.

Do you know I don't eat out? I am not married, yet I don't eat out, I even turned amala this night myself (what alot of women can't even do), black amala for that matter and I am not even from the side that owns it. I have people that can wash for me but I wash my clothes myself (getting tired though lol).
I ironed all my clothes yesterday, took me the whole day lol, I do this alot..

What am I trying to say, you don't expect someone like me to pile these on my wife when I can do them myself, same with the men I know, majority of them do these things for their families

Love and unity doesn't exist in a polygamous home because a man who put his family into such situation is a selfish man who has no love for his family in the first place yet according to an imbecïle like you, the first wife is expected to do the tedious act of bonding the family when it's obvious that home is a dilapitated home already.
However, you later claimed in another statement that africa women do not suffer. Even a 2 yrs child won't reason like this, jungle man!

It is ur father that bore you that is an slowpoke and a jungle man
Polygamous or not, A good father and Man is good regardless
all men of my ancestry that I remember married more than 1 wife and cared endlessly for each child from each woman.
So you blame ur moronic father for not Caring for ur LovePeddler of a mother

when you marry and have kids. Then what time will you have to spend with them. If you use your weekends to do laundary.

Don't forget to marry a woman that can turn amala. That work is a whole lot of stress. I am still learning how to make wheat, yet it never comes out well.

That is the Nigerian context of a good african wife, a good wife material. she must be willing to put her life on the line for the sake of her family, most of the time for her husband. she must be willing to swallow all sorts of stds, must be willing to go through emotional stress for long periods using prayer as an antidote for any problem. The longer the stress, the more stronger and virtuous she is seen to be. My people, did the bible ever describe a virtuous woman as one who suffers? Is God in supporrt of the suffering of humans?

She must be willing to be a deaf and dumb woman somewhat equivalent to a puppet or baby doll. Yet She must still be the one to hold the family together no matter what (now you wonder where the function of the so called 'Head' of family comes in). She must break her back and go through all sorts of iniquities so that she can be viewed as a 'wife material'. To the average nigerian, Marriage is pain, pain is love. That is why you see mentally unstable men who deliberately make their wives and even children, suffer. Sometimes it is done to prove a point. Such men believe that since their mothers suffered in the hands of their fathers, therefore, their wives must suffer. that is why you hear statements like "Our mothers went through this or that, why can't you go through the same"? Always comparing women with their mothers. My people, can two people from different backgrounds ever be alike? is it possible for two generations that are apart to be simiilar in choices and orientations?

After going through all these stress and tribulations, she is still expected not to change physically but to remain a sweet 16 and her s*e*x*ual prowess in bed must be top notch. My people, is this ever possible?

We are both in a relationship so no need "fearing".

As for being neat..if you wash for me, I wouldn't see it as clean, hence the reason I do my washing myself.. (clue)
