Must men want women to worship them? Jeez!
Even if she's not successful that doesn't mean she should worship him. For what?
Respect is reciprocal. Husband and wife should respect each other, irregardless.

Yea respect is reciprocal and husband and wife definitely should respect each other.

There was this story I heard one time, a guy saw a girl in a shopping mall and approached her. They talked...gisted was more like it and even exchanged numbers.

The guy didn't call back and refused to pick her calls later on. Why?

"She paid my bills -" he had replied.

And I asked myself, so what? But then he finished his sentence. "- it was worth N52, 500"

More to that, another thing that had got to him was the fact that the girl drove off in a sweet ride while he had hailed a taxi.

Thanks for the info Rapmoney, hope guys read and understand this.
Thanks for the understanding. I always and will continue to stand for the truth!

Is it really an exclusive right for men only to be successful and own cars? Why do we have young women schooling or learning a trade? Is it not to be successful in their chosen careers? Do we expect these women to subject themselves to lack and poverty?

A woman should be successful, no doubts. It is an orderly procedural thing starting with her family. Especially her husband. If she can adequately take care of her family and handle her job, then it's not a problem; but that is not the case in most cases, we women tend to focus more on one more than the other. Most of us are just not that strong. Kuddooss to the strong ones anyway!

You should know this is not a universal phenomenon but particular to Nigerian men. What does this show? It shows that Nigerian men are still holding on to that assumption that shows men have the exclusive right to be the successful ones only! That's where am coming from cool

OP .. whats your point

I think you are trying too hard

You have not even defined what a successful woman is?

Is it the mouthed ones who because they have good jobs suddenly think they know it all in a relationship?

Is it those who focus on their careers to the detriment of their kids and families

Is it those who don't acknowledge the headship of their husbands and second guess him everystep of the way and even slap him in the face when he has a small financial challenge

whats your point

Some names in the list meet the standard one is under review. So in context a woman is not a girl and since am a conservative African I think she getting married adds more to it. Don't go western in me cuz it won't work.

I intend getting to a pharmacist soon, she'll make more money in her internship than I did in my first yr as a fresh graduate. Should I develop cold feet in anticipation of her geometric rise in finance?

Guys even go after successful (rich girls by ur context) for the fun of it.

Sincerely speaking, my Nigerian brothers are falling my hands big time!!!

Often times, I hear people (including the male folks!) Saying 'young women that are successful in their respective careers and probably drive cars are no-go area!' That's a huge sign of inferiority complex and an exhibition of shallow mentality! wink

Is it really an exclusive right for men only to be successful and own cars? Why do we have young women schooling or learning a trade? Is it not to be successful in their chosen careers? Do we expect these women to subject themselves to lack and poverty?

Today, most Nigerian ladies who are successful and unmarried are normally seen as a no-go area for men. They label such women as disrespectful and not submissive under wrong assumptions! This clearly shows a poor mentality of the male folks!!!

Nigerian guys need to live above this poor mentality and accept the fact that becoming successful is not an exclusive right of the male folks...success is all encompassing and can be attained by anyone, irrespective of gender!

Please, feel free to share your views.

Peace! cheesy

I think it has to do with the way our ladies behave rather than inferiority complex. Poor ladies in naija insult men anyhow. So what do you expect when these ladies become rich?

@op

Maybe it's the "successful" woman suffering from inferiority complex. In most societies, men were the protectors and providers while women looked after offspring and home. But today I guess giving birth and caring for the family fulltime are roles now considered too inferior which now has woman chasing some brand called "success", basically mimicking what Man has done for centuries and is strangely interpreted today as the big upgrade to superiority.

Guess I'm not feeling inferior if I'm forced to enlist the help of strangers to raise my children while wifey's out playing "success"

[size=15pt]this is the main reason guyz aviod them lyk ebola.
I have dated foreign rich and matured chics and they are very very respectful and submissiv..just know hw to handle handle them.
Same can not be said for naija galz of same class.
They are very uncut,mannarless and arrogant..i have seen many of them in action,they automatically turn the man to the woman of the house.
One in my neigbourhood even brought a suger boy to their home and wen the man complianed,she threw him out, bcs she was the one paying rent,wen he lost his job.
While those in their husband house will make life a living hell for their hobby.
As for me,I can't take shit from any woman.

I will never feel intimidated by her wealth,cos I control my lyf and will take full responsiblilty of my home,without any help.

So why do men in other climes not having same thinking if it is not a false trashy societal belief held by Nigerian men?


It's good to marry a successful woman. But the unfortunate part is that a lot of women can't handl e success. How many women can still be submissive to their husbands they qre richer than? It's not that easy.

Secondly, not all women are comfortable marrying someone they are more successful than.

I waa told of a very rich woman, who said, "I have a car, I have a house, what do I want a man for?"
