I wonder why a lot of people including friends and family say I am different and that I like to poke my nose on issues reserved for men.If you discuss politics and other enlightening issues with advanced adults they would call me(my real name)that what is my business in men's matter.I am not suprised this is not the first time I have been told or asked such question.Thank you sir and have a good night rest.


lol... that's because African ladies generally aren't interested in political matters...


They(majority )value entertainment more than politics

The main cause is irresponsible men like Davido. Men are not men again. They lack ability to handle women and provide for their family. The men are more interested in cheating and being lazy, therefore pushing women to leave them and have a life of their own.

I am not good at entertainment matters I only listen to old music as my friends call them or is it blues I don't know their category but mainly foreign ones that have meanings like celine dion,Dolly paton and others.My favourite music is roar by Katy Perry.As for movies only American action and sci fi hero movies.As for politics I love it government has always been my best subject maybe why I chose law even though I rejected an admission for ISD.I initially wanted to read political science but changed my mind later.

You just said my mind... U'll see dem arguing with you now cos dey it's d true. Y would a female think she has equal rights with her husband

Why won't she have equal rights with the husband? Is she not a human being? Didn't she come out of her mother's vagina? Na mouth dem take vomit am?
The problem is you lots don't understand the meaning of feminism. Men and women are born equal unto God and man. Women might not be physically stronger than men per say, but believe me they are all round stronger than men.

The statistics though might not be accurate but it is verifiable. We all know where feminism is rampant and we know the divorce rate and single parent statistics in those places. This is Africa, where we are guided with morals and traditions. Submisiveness and respect is something that can't be wiped out of African morals and traditions. We are product of these things and changing it might hinder our relationships with one another.

Meanwhile, back to the subject at hand, feminism is not the only problem militating against harmonious relationship but then, feminism is a bane

What do you even mean by being submissive? Just explain that to me please?

Women simply believe the lies of men, during dating. And at the end get pregnant for him but he later turns his back on her, saying he's not ready to be married cos he can't marry in a miniflat, where he's currently living in.
And most ladies hate abortion. So they keep the baby, and that's how it grows everyday.

To meet a single lady who doesn't have child or children is like a rich fat man walking through the eye of a needle . Babymamas are just everywhere, it's incredible.
Ladies who are single with no kids, please keep it that way, don't fall for the lying sweet tongues of men. Or else Oyo Lo wa! And u may end up settling for crumbs at the end of it all, in this life race.
So many deceptive men out there, who wants to milk a cow for all its worth for free and not ready to buy the cow.
Men are no longer men, it's disheartening.

1. Poverty - this is the genesis and the bane of most nasty things in our society today. When a guy is poor and advancing in age, seeing that he is unable to cater for a child but he desires a successor or posterity, he might decide to take short cut, look for a girl to impregnate and knowing fully well that he can neither afford marriage nor take care of the child, he leaves the lady a baby mama. Then for the poverty ravaged ladies, to them the only and easiest way to make ends meet is to offer their bodies for sale and at that time since poverty has blocked their thinking faculty, anything can go, sex with or without contraceptive is no longer an issue for them and they take in on the process and eventually become single mother. Also if age is not also on their side and they also desire posterity, they will look for any available man to make them a single mother

2. Lack of self discipline from the man and woman - this is another serious issue and the cause of single motherhood. When a man and woman cannot discipline themselves to control their libido or reject romantic advances hook, line and sinker, they often go wild in promiscuous sex and they end up making babies with single mothers.

3. Societal pressure especially on the woman - because of how the society sees ladies that are advancing and not married, they feeble hearted ladies are usually unable to withstand the pressure from the society and they only end up getting desperate and looking for randy men to just father a baby with them and leave them single mother

4. ill manners - ill manners in wedlock is one of the causes of divorce.. When the manners becomes so toxic and that both couples can no longer tolerate each other, they end up divorcing and giving out single mothers

5. Poor upbringing - yes when your parents fail in their duties of raising up a morally sound kids, they children ends up becoming ignorant and they end up engaging themselves in unwholesome sexual act with their peers that can lead to pregnancy and a baby and a single mother

6. Societal failure - there is no gainsaying that we live in societies that have failed in most of their duties. When society indulge in seeing men and women go astray and do all sorts of things without proper cautioning and serious attempts to set things straight up, men and women end up indulging themselves in sexual folly since the society no longer frowns at most of the decadence but rather encourage them in subtle manners and turning blind eyes to them, sexual promiscuity will definitely be high as we are seeing today and it can easily end up to breeding single mothers.

7. Lack of chastity - When people have finally dropped every atom of morals and religious sanity in them, becoming single mothers now turns to a thing of pride and boastfulness

In the olden days even till yesterday when we were conceived. Our mothers are always submissive and obedient to their husband jurisdictions but feminism is fast spreading and submissiveness is gradually going into extinction. Thus, adding to the numerous factors causing single parenthood and broken marriages

'Why do we have a lot of single mothers in our current society '?
Mods Abeg push to front page for better answers thanks
We have a lot of single mothers because ladies are no longer afraid of a judgemental society which has little to no benefit to offer them other than wagging their tongues. Many single mothers didn't plan to be like that, their men turned their backs on them but they chose to keep a life even when no one else wants the child alive. Don't widows and divorcees also count as single mothers. Some ladies can't wait for the man to be ready to take responsibility, so they go ahead and start a family anyway.

Bullocks you didn't answer my question. If by submission you mean obeying your husband, then I can assure you that almost all my feminist friends does that. But if you mean submission in the text that a lady would be abused both physically and mentally, and still tolerate such marriage, then sorry you got it wrong. Many feminists I know obey thier husbands and thier husbands obey them too. Marriage is a two way institution and not a cul de sac institution. Blaming feminism for the failures of marriage and the rise of single parenthood is a total blimey. It shows how you were brought up, shows you a misogynist
