I need the statistics to your waste facts please. It is nothing more than an opinion. Have you met all the married couples in the world to know thier finances before marriage?

Facts only please. Stop with your stenimentality.


My dear, statistics are important, but more important and realistic are the observations we make daily.

Would you dispute that armed robbers serving jail time in Nigeria or USA are overwhelmingly men?

I guess not. Yet you won't have exact statistics comparing male & female armed robbers by heart. cheesy

Fact is even in 2016, majority of women marry men who are economically better off than them.

Even the 200level babe dating the 500Level guy has already calculated that the guy will already be likely earning/employed by the time she completes her NYSC.
Many girls openly and unashamedly say that they cannot marry a guy without his own house, a good job/business and a good ride.

Even in the West where it's more common to live in a wife's house (due to many ladies now marrying in their 30s & 40s), the woman can effortless kick the man out of his own house during divorce, let alone when she already owns the house. grin cheesy

Either way, not a good situation for a man to be in.

Omo, listen to your father. You can have more fine clothes than your parents, but can never have as many cast-off rags . They have experience; listen. Sooner or later you will discover that marriage will be first about money before love comes up.

Well, I won't blame her, maybe that's the way she is been brought uup from her home, that wemen can not achieve anything on there own without the help of or contributions of a man!

I was brought up 2 understand that what a man can do a woman can do better and also women shod b treated equally in social economic chain and every sphares of life

True! I have daughters but you may not find happiness. Very few men will date a woman who have surpassed them in life. It is extremely destructive to a man's life.

Mindfulness:


I think you need some education first. If you think that all major tribes require of wives to include their husbands' names in their properties, then you know very little.



Who was talking of buying a property in the wife's name? And who told you that many men can afford more than one house? undecided

I think you need to read slower so you can comprehend better. Who said anything about requirement? Respecting your culture and tradition is not a requirement, it's a choice and many women would rather preserve their status than to be associated with the word rude, bossy and/or disrespectful. Point 2: Where did I mention many men owning more than one house? I used the word 'not rare', it means more and more people are doing it. Please try to argue your point constructively!

Nigerian men and thier wahala. If a woman doesn't build house she must hear him say "under my roof" "in my house" "I built this with my hard earned money" "you didn't contribute to this"

The woman goes and builds house, some will now say she is an enemy of progress against tradition. If she built it why must the house be in his name? Una never happy. If your wife builds a house it's "our house". But if man builds house its "his" house abi?

Marriage includes both parities. I don't see it as a bad thing. But only a cultured and educated Nigerian man will accept it. If a wife builds a house it's "thier" house. If husband builds a house it's "thier" house. Simple.

House building doesn't take away respect, or submission. That character. Nothing to do with structure.
very nice reasoning.

I hope this is not unethical in social network.

It was after my father in law lived in his wife's house that he built his. After couple of years.

What's wrong in living in one's wife's house?

For me I don't see anything wrong living in a house built by your humble, respectful and well cultured wife.

But for the selfish wife without manners please don't live in a house built by her, because she will always frustrate your life with the "this house is my hard earned money", forgetting that wives are helpmates to their husbands.

[quote author=Nixiepie post=44242404]lolz.. And don't u think that will make the wife the head?the dictator and controller of the house ,no matter how submissive she is?[/quote. Very correct. Even when a man uses his own money to build his house, most Nigerian women don't welcome their husbands' relations, let alone she building the house. She will just give her husband the list of people she would like to be seen in the house. Women are so unpredictable!

Nice one. Living in her house doesn't mean a man would be a second fiddle to the wife.
If she is a well behaved woman, nobody would know that you aren't the owner of the property.

I live in Canada. Nobody just kicks anyone out of the house just like that. Unlike nigeria the legal system here works appropriately. Call the police. The problem will be solved within a few hours.

Men have been throwing women out of thier matrimonial home in nigeria since the beginning of time. If a man owns a home or a woman owns a home it doesn't change thier character. Bad people will display bad behaviours regardless.

Let me speak from my experience. I am a registered nurse. I'm not married yet, but many of my colleagues are married to men who make less than them. Likewise many of my colleagues are married to husbands who make more than them. People here value character. Though all their husbands contribute very well financially. I don't know if its poverty that makes it seem like a lot of women in nigeria are driven to men because of money. But that's not the case the majority of the time here in my experience. At least in my group of friends and colleagues.

At the end of the day. We need to put this horrible mentality aside and think reasonably. If you married the spouse of your choosing with a good character. None of this is a problem. Only men who feel they must own and conquer all will view thier wife building a house as a challenge.

My view is they should build the house TOGETHER as husband and wife.

Ego has always been the problem of Africa men and I won't totally blame them because women will definitely use this ideology of "I own this house" to frustrate her husband especially when he is not financially buoyant.

For me, I can live in my wife's house provided I contributed to the development of the house or I have my own house.
