naijababe: Just don't be because I dislike people playing the victim card. If men want women to suffer, how come they created these gadgets? Alot of women whine about too many things, yet they haven't created any themselves.. Funny enough, majority of these gadgets were created/imported by these same men into Nigeria, majority of the gadgets are being bought by these same men in their homes.. I just do not like reading articles like this. I may have used the word "women" but I actually meant the women whining and screaming on this board and not the total women at large. 5 Likes |

honeric01: Which of these gadgets were invented by Nigerian men? Please, I have to say this because we are not talking about foreign men here. I can't imagine a Western man saying that a woman who uses a washing machine is lazy. Like I said, it is only in this part of the world that people can come up with such statements in this day and age. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Is it that relationships/marriages these days are very shaky or what? These days all I see on nairaland are "should I cook for boyfriend? Should I sleep with boyfriend? Things men consider before committing? E.t.c." Abeg this is becoming pathetic. Mods make una try nah. Is it every trashy thread that u must move to front page? A lot of girls' marriages will fail because of these nonsense threads, some don't know how to separate e-life from reality. A lot of insecure human beings on NL. 2 Likes |

MadCow1: Disgusting and pathetic. i am glad some women have come to be aware of what they want and the limit within which they can take certain maltreatment. It is left for every woman to love herself first, be wise even though everyone else is foolish and take charge of her life or else, she will be left behind to lick her wounds. Tolerance from women is very often taken for granted because it is an expectation from every woman and so it isnt seen as anything special or extraordinary. Which is why Emotional blackmail meted on women is very easy and common. It is believed a woman would have no choice than to be tolerant perhaps she has nowhere else to go, she is not financially capable, fears being a divorcee, else some other woman would take her place. Women are constantly placed in stiff competition with themselves and they, being the gullible gender, play along and take every ridiculous belief hook line and sinker. Everything is messed up jare. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Shirley07: What method of data collection/analysis did you employ to arrive at your statement. It is not until one is affected before an error is pointed out. Sweeping statement/generalization is not limited to when you use "all, everybody, everyone..etc.." When you make a bold statement from assumption and without concrete or scientific proof, it is not different from sweeping statement. So, desist from making unconfirmed/beer parrlour comment when backing is needed. 5 Likes |

carefreewannabe: Have you ever been to the trade fair before? go there to see what Nigerian men created for the good of the society. okra slicer onion slicer yam pillar pondoyam dry grounded elubo tomato slicer e.t.c Go there and see for yourself, Nigerian men created these items No one is saying using a washing machine makes you lazy (my younger bro uses it) but when you make it a priority even if you don't have the means or refuse to wash because you don't have one, then you are lazy. if you can afford it, buy it and use, those that cant afford it are not wicked to their wives.. If your husband does not want to buy it, go ahead and buy it for yourself and use it. not everything has to turn into "bad men, wicked husband" e.t.c, it's sickening! 5 Likes |

We have to be careful not to forget out roots.. We are Africans, we've survived in the jungle for centuries without technology. The problem is; we Africans overdo things, we get carried away too easily. Technology doesn't justify laziness, I know times are changing, yet we've got to be mindful lest we become casualties of the technological revolution. People hardly communicate these days because they're too busy on their gadgets.. You're going to sit down to chat with your girlfriend/boyfriend but they'd be too busy fiddling with their phone. Technology is good but it is drastically changing human behaviour due to overuse. If the Queen of England can wash dishes with her hands once in a while (yes Queen Elizabeth) I see no reason why any woman on the planet shouldn't, more so an African woman. Personally, I like to see a woman get her hands dirty once in a while, domestic dexterity is an admirable virtue in women, it reaffirms their motherhood skills. In the days of our fore fathers, women will cook, wash, take care of her flock, when her husband returned from hunting, fishing or whatever he does, she'd serve him his food & on top of all these, still fuc*k him in the night. I don't care how easy technology has made our lives, if I discover the appliances in the house is fostering laziness in my wife, I'm taking them away. 2 Likes 1 Share

macof: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! 3 Likes 1 Share |

iyabodeh:Stubborn is an understatement when it comes to these things. Some men will label you lazy for not doing what their mum did. My grouse is with the men who can afford it yet they won't but embrace technology. Buy modern day phones, I haven't found them queuing on NITEL phone boot to make call. Even buying modern cars that you can reverse without looking at your side mirror cos the screen is in front of you. Why not drive beetles after all your dad drove them. Most women are working class women now that won't have time to do all the chores, take care of the kids, cook and still keep the house spankling clean. Well if you don't do live in maids. Get someone that comes and goes. I personally can't handle children alone. So come and go helps won't pay me. I love my rest. 3 Likes 1 Share |

carefreewannabe: Yes go and see for yourself, Nigerian men are creating things to make cooking and life better for our women and Nigeria at large, yet all they get is bashing left and right. Create things or better still buy them for yourself if you are with a man who doesn't want to buy them abi wetin na. 6 Likes |
