Have you seen the way most Nigerian women look in parties over here beside their husbands? You will wonder if they are wives to the men or mothers of the men.  Most of them look so tired and so beat down--with some serious stress pimples on the face and chest. Only the ones that have at least a 20 year gap between them and you can tell who is older.  I say it is terrible.


The ones on Nigeria? Forget those. Spend too much time keeping vigil--cannot even comb their hair out straight.

LMAO at highlighted! Almondjoy, you no go kill persin with laughter  Grin Grin So true girl, so true. I completely agree.

That is what a long history of "sufferhead" causes.  If any woman is so used to being "unappreciated or pamperless", there is a long term simmering feeling of "pepper bodi syndrome". 

Even if the man starts to say goodmorning honey one day out of the blues the only thing in the woman's mind is "useless man"! Cheesy  Na so so cuss.  "Ye ye man--you no go die better"!!! Grin Cheesy Grin Cheesy Grin  Pesin dey see something for Nigeria oh! Grin

The woman can never appreciate anything from the guy she is with since the point of no return sufferhead status has been climbed.  Nothing the man would do can make a difference.  So guys start early and be sensitive to your girlfriends and wives needs so you do not end up with a perpertual bitch-bat!--PBB  Grin  You cannot turn back the hands of the clock or time since you guys are in "injury time" phase of your relationship!

Make una avoid pepper bodi syndrome-----PBS----oh! Cheesy

Krazied, Lets be honest , the  American male, be he White or Black,  seeing a Nigerian woman struggling with  all the bags while her Nigerian husband walks empty handed, would see it the same way as the original poster. Rightly or wrongly the usual complaint that Americans/British/ Carribeans have about Nigerian men is that they feel they expect their women to be slaves. Thats not my opinion of Nigerian men in general . But truthfully, thats how many non Nigerians  see you.

I understand what you are trying to say but its quite funny,nigerian guys want to get married and want to spice up their marriage,when we talk about spicing up marriage,all ya talk about is the woman's dressing,body and stuffs but here are the little things that will make your wife cherish you and want to keep you all to herself for as long as she can

Though am not saying she should sit down and watch tv while the man cooks,you can help her while she's doing the cooking,once in a while,prepare her meal,carry her stuffs for her (but most of you guys won't even go shopping with her) and see how much she will turn out to appreciate this.

But most ladies can turn this into a routine and or something.

Its in the upbringing.  Most men are brought up to lord it over the
women right from home.  Girls are taught to respect their brothers
What dear brother says goes etc.  He comes home late from lazing around with
friends and the sister (or mother  Shocked) must wake up and give him his food - like he has no legs and
hands to get it himself and of course this goes on into marriage.  Yes Naija men can
be pretty insensitive - they were brought up that way!!

Hmh, I think Nigerian guys are very sensitive and caring, even so much that I haven't got used to all the attention yet.
I think those kind of behaviour things change culturally,  Where I come from, guys do nothing for a lady, unless you specifically ask(if not even then). A big girl can take care of herself and so on,    So I'm happy about my nigerian men  Grin

@Nannu,
nice to hear that ooo! Cool

so u can see its the world over for those that are complaining,

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - The more money a married woman earns, the less housework she will do regardless of how much her spouse earns, according to a new study.

A researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that big paychecks equal less cooking and cleaning in a study of 918 women in double-income families.

Married women who made $40,000 or more a year spent nearly one hour less on housework per day than women who earned $10,000 or less, according to the findings based on data from the National Survey of Families and Households.

"Up to this point, people have thought that the important thing was how much money a woman makes compared to her husband. But the only thing that matters is how much money she earns," Sanjiv Gupta, the study's author, said in an interview.

The study, which is published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, showed that for every $7,500 in annual income a married woman earned, she performed one hour less of housework each week.

Gupta confirmed the link between money, domestic work and spousal relationships in a separate, unpublished study using data on nearly 2,000 couples in the United States and Europe.

The average earnings of American women increased by $6,200 between 1965 and 1995, according to the US. Census Bureau. During that time, the amount of time married women spent on weekly chores fell by 14.6 hours.

Since the husband's earnings had no effect on the amount of housework a woman does, the finding suggest women are using their own money to reduce their domestic workloads such as ordering take-out food instead of cooking and hiring cleaners instead of doing it themselves, Gupta said.

"The negative side of it is that it shows just how divided households remain by gender. It emphasized how much housework is the woman's responsibility."

hot chic  has said it all.

An average Nigeria man can carry anything to please his loved wife, but traditionally it is not encouraged. Hence to bring it up, the poster should not see it as being lazy or insensitive in the part of Nigeria men. If u want to see real LOVE in play, ask a sincere and resonable Nigeria girl.

Nigerian men in America are the best I am talking from experience at least those who we know and are close to they step up and be the man of the house and their wives supports them. If I am asked to marry again, I will marry the same man, color, shape, culture there is no perfect human beings men have their short coming women have their short comings. If a man is lazy something is wrong somewhere if a man is insensitive something is wrong some where case close

Ok, I'm a Malaysian and I am dating a Nigerian guy. I would always prefer to do everything myself without depending on anyone else and when I have him in  my life, he basically would want to share every single thing with me. I like it alot but I;m just not use to it and I'm trying to get use to it. So when I go for shopping, he would help me grab a trolley, carry all the stuff which makes me really uncomfortable so I tend to always try grabbing the stuff away from him and things like that and we end up teasing each other all the time and we would laugh about it so I don't see him being bad in any ways. I'm not saying that he is perfect. he has his flauss just like any other people on earth including me but I love him for who he is. Guess I;m just trying to say that in this whole world, you will have good people and bad people and its like a lottery. If you meet up with the good ones, then you are lucky but if you don't, then you always have the choice to decide what turf you want to take next to make your life happier so please don't think negatively about a certain race just because one rotten apple spoils the whole crowd. Hope it helps

Dear Chiogo, I understand what you mean. If I were in your shoes, I will not be happy myself. In fact, one of my neighbour is the same except its the other way round where the husband would do all the work and the wife sits at home and do nothing and they both are Malaysians. The husband had to pee sitting down because his wife made him do so and she hates it when he lifts the toilet seat up. Things like that which really kills me when I see it and I think  it all brings down to different individuals. If the husband still intend to be put down just like that without fighting for his rights, than nobody else could help him. Its the same thing like what you saw. If the wife don't seem to mind carrying all the stuff by herself and she don't want to talk about it to her husband, theres nothing anyone could do about it. So I guess its not about Nigerian men, Its different people from all over the globe. And speaking about Americans, I've seen some American men / women whom are evil  and some good ones. Hope it helps?  Smiley
