A Tale Of Four Women by Ishilove: 1:23pm On Feb 14, 2017 |
The argument had reached a crescendo as i walked to the entrance of the female ward of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). The mother-in-law was accusing her son-in-law of wickedness and insensitivity while he in turn replied that he had no apologies and he would well do whatever he liked with his money irrespective of his wife's health condition.I got it off a friend's Facebook wall. Truly poignant... 4 Likes 1 Share |

hmm! What a sad but true article to read. Women in Nigeria and most countries in Africa are victims of Man's inhumanity. 4 Likes |

Ishilove, I do get tired of some "anti-male" posts as this. Callous of the man. Very. ...but at the Abuse Centre of same Teaching Hospital and LASUTH, slides are shown with statistics which prove that most head wounds on men were inflicted by women - with rising figures, as at 2016. If you're married, do take your husband's blood pressure before, during and after pregnancy. 2 Likes |

^^^A pained man up there, always trying to deflect from the topic. Thinking every thing is a battle of sexes. Sad reality @OP. Very wicked men... One thing is common with the women portrayed in this post, they all didn't have their own money (neither did their family), leaving them at their husband's mercy. As for the silence that follows the birth of a female child, I have seen it happen and it gets worse when the number of the female keeps increasing and no male in sight. I was gisting with a friend once and she said "**** done born o, she born via CS and the painful thing be say e come be girl". I gave her my mind, picked up my bag and left...since then, I can count how many times we have talked. I never knew she was that stupid. Even females are involved in this shaming. You can't please humans, so don't try. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ishilove:Firstly, I'd like to ask where the family of the first woman with VVF is? Can't they rally round and help their daughter out of the 'mess' she finds herself? Second, same as the first. Third, Sometimes I'm amazed why poor people always like causing problem for themselves. You and your husband have 5 kids, and you still went ahead to have another? When you guys know you're not well of financially? Come on. And the last, such things we see. The family of that woman are full blown illiterate, for any who don't rejoice at the birth of a baby, whether male or female, is a full blown illiterate. Frankly, I find this post a subtle way at show casing feminism. Whoever thinks women are the only one suffering is a clear feminist, and need to open his or her eyes. 1 Like |

Re: A Tale Of Four Women by raumdeuter: 5:07pm On Feb 14, 2017 |
WHich is why we should intensify the message for women to have their own money and income If you depend on anyone for a livelihood and worse if you deped on people for your health, you are at the mercy of their whims. Any man who also depends on his wife for a livelihood will have a similar tale of woe to tell 1 Like |

Deep. Very deep. A lot of women suffer from vvf especially in the northern part of the country. Women too should stop producing kids like pigs. We bear the burden most times. Labour pains is hell and post natal is something else. |
Re: A Tale Of Four Women by connkg(m): 6:49pm On Feb 14, 2017 |
No pain, PaperLace/Uboma... I'm glad the OP only supposes the story is true. UniLag's TH and LASU's TH were mixed-up and I simply brought forth statistics from counselling, as the article ended with a reference to stats. There's the male ward, female ward and children's. Those you wish had incomes are in the children's ward. It's a full hospital, pardon my looking at other sexes. In case you missed this, the man was callous. He behaved like adults who will not donate blood to their children (of either sex). I choose to see beyond what I'm shown. |

avicky: our Society and Religion gives little or no room for Women to make their own decisions/choices. Women are at the receiving end.... |
Re: A Tale Of Four Women by avicky(f): 9:10pm On Feb 14, 2017 |
uboma:I concur. That's a very apt description of womanhood today. |
Re: A Tale Of Four Women by Ishilove: 9:23pm On Feb 14, 2017 |

raumdeuter:Some men actually prefer their women to be full time housewives |
Re: A Tale Of Four Women by raumdeuter: 12:28am On Feb 15, 2017 |
uboma: In most cases women go to the same school as men, in most cases women choose these spouses for themselves |
Re: A Tale Of Four Women by raumdeuter: 12:31am On Feb 15, 2017 |
Ishilove: Any woman who becomes a housewife is setting herself up for disaster. Our grandmother's weren't even housewives they sold in the market, some made hair. If a girl nowadays say the man wanted her to be a full time housewife and she agreed check most time she's lazy |
Re: A Tale Of Four Women by YourCoffin: 3:20am On Feb 15, 2017 |
This is not a societal problem. It's simply a case of bad judgement and unwise choices on the part of the women. |
Re: A Tale Of Four Women by uboma(m): 4:33am On Feb 15, 2017 |
raumdeuter: Even at that, these women are given no room to make decisions regarding matters that affect their lives.... |

Did you read the story of a girl who had to flee her village because a bunch of aunties and grand mothers were determined to hack her privates in the name of circumcision? My point is the disadvantage females face in our male dominated societies are many times reinforced by other females. It is up to women to change this. Teach your boys from their childhood to respect women. Teach your boys from childhood to value the female child. Teach your boys from childhood and then society will change. But as long as more boys are excused because boys will be boys, then...... As long as more women will enforce dehumanising practices on other women because "it is our culture", then...... Societal practices change slowly. But they only change if the group bearing the disadvantage push to force the change. 1 Like |
