Man-hate is the word you need.

I see the definition of feminism and identified with it. Man-hate? count me out.

But again, some people talk without in-depth thought. I know someone who has achieved so much and is feared/respected company wide yet she 'believes' men are superior to women.

Yet, when she is giving assignments, she expects same results lipsrsealed

Wow Nigeria is backwards sha, so they want you as a woman to be suffering with public transport while you can afford a car? If one of theses days you enter one chance bus nko, God forbid. All these years you didn't have a car you didn't get a Mr. Right showing that it's not about car. Any man who will be intimidated about you having a car will still be intimidated about you owning lands and such. That means for the rest of your life with such a man you will always have to live under the standard that you can actually afford just so he won't feel intimidated. Is that the type of life you want?

If you don't buy the car now and you marry then later it will become you can't buy a bigger car than your husband you can't own more lands than your husband and so on . For the rest of your life you won't be able to live to your full potential, this is why many women never get to their full potential in Nigeria

Good day fam,

I really need your advice on something.

I am a lady in my late twenties and I work with a multinational company here in Lagos.
This is my third year on the job and I know I need a car now.

Now here's the issue; my siblings think that getting a car is a bad idea. Why? Cos am single.

My beloved brother said it would push men away from me shocked

Please does this not sound myopic? I really don't get it.

House how do you see this cos I feel down right now. sad


buy a car, but don't be pompous be gentle, sweet, loving and kind, believe me it won't hinder u in anyway whatsoever my sister has cars but it didn't chase men away from her, don't listen to those telling u not to but they are just being naive and unhelpful simply cos dey don't have aa car as a man so dey won't want u to buy ! Good luck dear, I wish u well

Is unfortunate how inconsiderate the opinions of people are as seen in lots of bias comments from people. None of those kicking against your decision to buy a car put into consideration your personal well-being, emotional, psychological and physical stress of going to work everyday. Life is too short girl, your happiness is paramount and more important than the feeling & opinions of people.

Beauty attracts a man but character keeps him!!!

Hey Girl!!! Go for your car baby and make life comfortable for yourself. You work hard to make your money, you need not stress yourself too to spend your money.

Go ahead and buy a car. But it has to be a simple car.

Else....

Best case scenario: You alleviate your suffering

Worst case scenario: You attract gold-diggers and chewing gum guys.

To create a balance, be ready to alternate between using your car and taking public transportation else you will "enter demurrage "(a.K.a 35 & single). If you ball too hard (in Nigeria, it means owning a car), you may scare potential honest suitors away. It is a reality check. It is the same reason that single ladies with Ph.Ds find it difficult to find suitors in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a peculiar place.

It shows a hard-working and responsible lady
It also shows you have a healthy saving culture.

Babe some will say don't buy..
Some will say buy, that such a man has Low Self Esteem..

But verily I say unto you, if u buy a car nd an expensive one to match ur status it's good but know this, u ve increased ur market price or oyibo people will say Self worth or Value..

Now what u will attract re Men with great Ballz which make up 10% of Nigerian Men..

What of a situation u ain't so lucky to grab one knowing that 5% of such men will like a girl they feel they can provide with all goodies of Life without Challenge..

So babe u re Left with 5% of the Real Men with Balls, 75% of Normal Nigerian Men nd 15% of Gold Diggers...


So Babe do which that favors you knowing that a Real African Man(75%) would not like perception from the public that His wife is the boss..
10 to 15% girls with cars versus 5% balled up guys leaves 50 to 33% guys not to talk of competition from non car women who are easier targets for the guys. the odds not in her favor

If getting a car will chase men away, then why are all the single ladies without cars not married yet?

Most of these beliefs being peddled are merely dogmas and fads that are not statistically significant. There are a million broke spinsters as there are successful spinsters.

In fact the number of broke and unmarried spinsters far outnumber those that are successful.

You better go ahead and buy a car if it will make you happy.

What is your own will not pass you by.
this guy doesn't have scientific stats to back this assertion.

You are simply a gold digger and a social climber. There are no two ways about it. Your earnings can barely sustain you but you went to look for a girl on a very high social standing

I can easily sniff your type from a kilometre. All your earnings go into buying flashy clothes and trying to look rich. You better amend your ways before you die in poverty. Bloody gold-digger. You are even proud to come here and post this rubbish.
