I have done cursory check, all the Western marionettes here are all domiciled abroad except the male phoney kid who is a compulsive liar and shammer.

Do I add that other than TV, who I see has stood and called the Western culture for what it is, the rest traded their morality to leverage their economic destitution.

These ladies are socio-cultural terrorists like the brainwashed suicide female bombers in the north. Only difference is that they think they are innocuous to the blast.

I give to you on this one bro.

It's simple!


Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands.



Husbands love your wives.


This principle has worked for all successful marriages I know. It worked for my grandparents; it worked for my parents (over 30 years in marriage, yet I've never seen them fight/yell/or shout at each other).

This same principle/ethics will I uphold in my family, and same would be passed to my children. Even if Obama legalizes marriage between man and pig, my own ethics and principles STAND.

Creamish is Godly. And that's why she's priceless. Who can steal her crown? Neither betrayal or name calling can unseat her from the seat reserved for the virtuous.

She will drink from the fountain of love and fulfilment. The fangs of greed and rebellion will not come near her borders for she's firmly secured by truth.

She's loved.

Go read his posts and history, a lengthy backlog but you'll be rewarded.

Now ask yourself this; he says he is 19 years of age.

So what's he doing crowding supposedly much older women some of whom are married and with kids.

From _Nubian113, to _Ladyboss, to _Creamish and to women in the family section most of whom are married and with children.

If several of his failed attempts at swindling them had not been revealed no one will know.

The real tradegy is when they refused complying with his financial shams, he comes to Nairaland and reveal everything they have confided in him offline.

He will troll and hound them in rap battles until they deactivate.

Go through his history log.

In a way yes, the relationship between a man and a woman is complementary in nature , made so by the unfathomable brilliance of God through millions of years of evolution.

That's why faggøtry can't make sense ever.

Women are more dependent on their men in more ways than men are.

I don't have the time now to type a long submission.

But in everyday things like sex, emotional well-being, in chaos, spirituality, trend, culture etc. Women wait for man to lead and she follows.


Take this home:

If Nairaland were a physical sphere and a terrorist act were to occur or armed robbers where to attack, all the females here will instinctively, without the luxury of a nano second of thought look up to the men for direction, and leadership......that's the ones who will have the presence of mind, the others might be too busy screaming or in a state of perceptual shock.

Thank you wink

And of course, I'm in complete consonance with the afore.

And also, positive discrimination against posters who are yet to plight their troth nor have any immediate desire of doing so should be heavily frowned upon. I find such affirmative actions rather degenerative.

Well, positive discrimination to me is the freedom to choose who I actually want to interact with on a particular day. wink


I wouldn't feign to be an aficionado in marital affairs. What I would do instead, is border on the point instinctively, and with a conscious effort try to keep my thesis in tandem with a chain of episodic experiences and based on personal observations.

First up, I think there is the need of a slight reformation of the ethics of the African marriage. And I would like to have my focus riveted, this time on the 'Nigerian Marriage' as speaking on the 'African Marriage' would open the floodgates to a lot of generalizations - and as you know, that's never the ideal way of going around such matters.

I actually wanted to write 'Nigerian' but decided to stick to the title of this thread hoping that someone would actually see what I see. wink

Permit me to reiterate: certain values need to be revised and reviewed, and if the need arise, should be streamlined with novel ones that are more adaptable to the complexities and nuances of this modern age.

If only the inherent provincialism in the 'set-in-stone' traditionalists can be allayed a little, it wouldn't seem so difficult.
In the past, we used horses, donkeys, camels etcetera to tread afield and also to commute from one village to the next.

Herein lies the significance of the animal analogy: We, humans, realized the need for improvements in our standard of living, and thus, the feverish need arose for mediums that would not only bring a definite end to the tardiness encountered when travelling on a camel etc, but which would also go a long way in lessening the discomforts that usually trailed along with traveling on an animal's back.

The invention of bicycles, cars and other modern means of transportation were resultant of such needs.

Just as we thought it necessary to invent machines that would prove remarkably in sating our needs in transportation, and ergonomically too, so also is the reassessment of the mores guiding latter-day marriages/families meant to be above-the-fold in our to-do list.

This would not only bring about a rekindling of marital values amongst couples, but also be conveniently suited for the '2016 marriage'.

Again and again I find it rather remarkable that people have such issues with change claiming that everything was better back in the day.
I think this nostalgia is a result of selective memory which paints a rather distorted picture of the past. Sometimes it is not even a matter of remembrance because those who claim that everything was better back in the day have not even been experienced the struggles of yesterday.

What I have no doubt about is that different times come with different privileges and simultaneously new problems that stand in need for new solutions. And with these solutions comes development, which is the driving force behind all life. Evolution is the most natural process. You either embrace it and utilize it to your advantage or you keep pushing against the inevitable ending up bitter.

No oars should be stuck into the bedrock of the marriage institution, and which for me are: love, trust and mutual respect betwixt partners.

I am sure most people, traditionalist or progressive, would agree that trust and respect are essential but what is love?



St. Augustine of Hippo also included bonum sacramenti(indissolubility) in what he thinks wedlocks should be about.

I beg to differ, because I think domestic violence and a busload of imponderables can be considered a valid excuse for the dissolving of any marriage) I'm guessing men rarely turned their wives into punching bags in St.Augustine's time. grin

Well, the moment you break the promise to love and honor your spouse till death do you part is the moment the marriage is dissolved. I don't see why anyone should be asked to live up to the promise of till death do us part when the other party does not live up to the promise of loving and honoring their spouse.


Men should also stop seeing women as properties or creatures bereft of feelings.

This can only happen if such men learn to connect to and respect their own emotions.

The recent Tiwa Savage and Tee Billz episode that rocked the entertainment world would be the most apt exempli grata in this scenario.
Let's suspend all disbelief and pretend that all Tiwa relayed in that video was true. Having done that, it'd come to the cognisance of any even-handed fellow that this so-called rule which states that a woman's total submission to her man is unnegotiable is a bit arbitrary and beyond the pale, especially when expected to be done without questioning in some very straitened circumstances.

Any discussion of a woman's submission that neglects the man's duty to love his wife is one-sided and futile.
Assuming that she said the truth, he broke the vow to love and honor her, which is the breaking of the fundament, on which the marriage was built and should be sustained.


Still on the Tiwa/Teebillz saga, I'm not trying to take sides here, but I don't think it's fair that after a woman(who is principally the sole provider in the Tiwa/Teebillz case) has expended ENERGY, both physically and mentally in performing on stage, or in studio sessions, from morn till dawn should return home only to be subjected to another spate of work by a layabout hubby, especially when it's sommat that could have easily been executed before she made it home.

As above. The foundation of the marriage institution as we know it now is to love and honor your spouse. If you can't live up to this expectation, your relationship is no longer a marriage as it is bound to this promise, its realization and manifestation.

Why can't he go into the kitchen and fix himself a plate and why would he be so inconsiderate to the plight of someone who has been out all day ploughing the fields.
That to me, is just the height of wickedness and also one of the matters I think needs to be addressed in premarital counselling sessions.

Well, I am a lil' bit disappointed that a woman like Tiwa didn't set her priorities straight right from the get-go.
Didn't she know that a 'traditionalist' stands in the opposite direction to the ambitions of a woman like her? Or was it that infatuation clouded her sight to the point where she was not able to see his recklessness?


The ideal marriage should not be like a Military system of government, but rather be akin to a football team where each of the persons involved are merely team players working towards a goal and for the commonweal.

There are millions of men and women who desire a clear hierarchy in their marriage. Let them find and stick to each other.
For those of us who desire a different arrangement, let us positively discriminate them by sticking to people with similar or same preference.

It could be remarked in passing that the tradition of women being much more industrious than men has also accelerated the current process of equalization between the sexes, since the African woman in the modern working situation will generally outdo the man(I stand to be corrected).

In light of that, we men should develop some superego and try to adjust adequately to the patently obvious paradigm shift.

As long as people feel that their egos depend on how others behave, their egos will remain fragile.


Gone are the days when the average woman was quintessentially a kitchen workhorse and a mobile baby-factory .
Times have changed and unless people change with them, the impasse would be unbreakable!.

Thank God! smiley


A man should have no qualms in helping out in the kitchen without the fear of being described as 'stringed to his wife's aprons' or whatchamacallit?. . .yeah, without being labelled as 'henpecked'.

He also shouldn't refuse to help out with domestic affairs because he feels it is below the office of manhood.

Well, there are women who do not want men to assist in the house as they consider them effeminate so let them choose each other.
Everyone gets served what they want.

Stone the crows!, I find this quite risible because I don't think I would find anything more fulfilling than in helping my soignèe mistress with some domestic chores and even with cooking; hands on her tender hips, nape-kissing and doing all that cosy lovey-dovey stuff whilst helping her out in the kitchen. grin

And there are millions of women out there who appreciate and enjoy such an attitude.

This is just one side of the coin being addressed and it's mainly hinged on we men learning to adapt to the changing times. My fingers are weary and my brain is addled, perhaps I would, if time permits, state in what ways I think women should also consider adjusting to the changing times in order to foster marriages in these modern day.

Well, all in good time, I guess.

Please how does genetics come into this? I still don't see it. I thought maybe you would cite a research done by some scientists to show how a woman's DNA strand is incomplete without a matching strand from that of a man. Everything you listed here still does not prove to me that a woman is genetically dependent on a man.

Perhaps as a result of nuturing and envirommental influence, women have been taught to rely on a man for direction (this is fast changing in our society today because many women are being brought up to be strong and independent these days).

If an attack occurs, where I come from, my first instinct will be to run for my life, away from the source of the attack. I don't have the time to sit and wait for a man to save me. You may find it hard to believe, but women can also think and act rationally under pressure too. All these come as a result of training and conditioning of the mind. Men are brought up to believe that they should never shed tears and you see them suppressing tears because their mind is already wired to believe that a man does not shed tears in difficult situations. Or when you see a man venting his feelings you will hear 'you talk and behave like a woman. Be a man! A man does not talk too much'
All these are as a result of nuturing and conditioning of the mind. It has nothing to do with genetics. I was brought up to believe that a woman cannot be a mechanic, imagine my shock and dismay the day I saw a woman mechanic...yet again, an example of mind conditioning.

Still I see no way a wOman is genetically wired to be dependent on a man. If you have done a research in this, kindly share it with us.
