ItsModella: This is really sad, their mentality is killing me. Imagine that one saying she'll pray to God to change her husband when he's on the verge of beating her to death. They should keep allowing their husbands to disrespect them in the hopes that he'll change one day. The extent to which people have been blinded by religion is sickening.

Seriously, I give up on these women. There are some things you don't need somebody to tell you, use your head.

All you single ladies need to stop day-dreaming and face reality. It is your headiness that is preventing you from seeing the important things whilst you are single and leading you towards the men and marriages that you say you detest so much. These ones that are realistic have resigned to fate. However, those of you that claim to be "smarter and better" could end-up being deflated if you do not lay the proper foundation now that you have the chance.

The first thing a single lady should drill into her head is humility. No man no matter how accommodating, loving and caring will accept haughtiness from his wife.

You really don't need to have a tag to know your worth as a human being. When a man divorces his wife is he a feminist too? Cos that is what I'm getting out of your post.

No! You fail to see the cultural differences between the west and Africa. In the west you don't pay anything to marry someone, in Nigeria you do. In the west divorce is an easy option due to the dysfunctional court system, in Nigeria divorce is a last resort. In the west a woman gets alimony, in Nigeria you most likely go empty handed.

Africa is the only place where men are given their due respect and entitlement and it should be preserved at all cost.

Please do not blame religion but blame self esteem. This is how many Nigerian girls are brought up, they are told as long as the man provides, then he is fine. No religion preaches staying with a husband that perpetually cheats on you and beats you to death.

On the contrary if these ladies followed the teachings of the bible before getting married, they most likely will never be in those situation because they would never have married men that have no fear of God!

If bride price is what is making nigerian men not to treat their women right, I'm all for getting rid of the tradition. Even though i believe it wouldn't stop domestic abuse or cheating. Take India for example. India women pay dowry to the man, and are still under oppression and subjugation by their men.

Respect is earned!!!! You are not entitled to it because you have a pe.nis.

No we are not in Their shoes. Funny how most of them though "humble" are yet to have men put a ring on their fingers.

I agree with you but in a way, our society has misinterpreted religious teachings to justify their flawed mentality. You hear a lot of people saying "it's in the Bible or the Bible is against it". Who told them that?

The feminists club, the "I am going to match my husband fire for fire crew." "What a man can do a woman can do better" and so on league.

Those women interviewed may not be perfect but you have to acknowledge that their opinions are shaped by certain experiences. Experiences that I truly believe some young ladies who post on Nairaland will have to learn the hard way.

So before jumping-up to condemn those women, are you Nairaland feminists totally immune from the situations they are describing? I say No, you can tell me your own answer.

How many married women in Nigeria do you think will agree to be interviewed about cheating husbands and divorce in Nigeria? Open your eyes jenny. Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil is the motto of most married women in Nigeria.

You are one lucky dude

I took off bro.

However, I had one when I was in school. She threatened to leave me if I don't give her hot slaps and bites whenever we were making love. I was much younger then...so I had to explore. I don't need to tell you the level of internal explossion and vibration she displays anytime a very hot slap lands on her face. wink

I had to leave later tho'. It was becoming traumatic for me instead. shocked

Men cheat likewise women so cheating has come to stay.
In as much as alot of women are into abusive relationship doesn't change the fact that some women are still enjoying thier marriage as well...
Moreover everything must not be equal,sometimes u loose while sometimes u gain dats life for you.so every marriage must not be perfect...

A factual woman. I am tired of women who pretend so much on Nairaland. The best way to uplift women is to admit there is a problem and that there is no set of wonder-women anywhere who are immune. That deceptive marketing of super independent "wonder-women" is leading to younger ladies entering miserable marriages faster than I can type- "Jack Robinson". The are so sure of their "special" status before marriage but when they enter they receive the shock of their lives!

I am only reacting to the reactions of some women here to the video.

Thank you.

This is so true my dear. But the problem is lack of education and self confidence. A lot of women who are uneducated and rely sorely on a man for bread are the ones who will more likely than not endure whatever behavior the guy does. It"s really sad because some are brought up to believe it"s ok for a man to beat or cheat(perhaps their mothers went through same thing)and that all men are the same. Unfortunately these days there are very few quality good men left. I would rather remain single for the rest of my life then deal with any of that rubbish.

you have said it all. It seems that the whole bride price thing is what is making certain men feel like masters. But truth is, even those who do not paY bride price or if it was eliminated will still act like dogs.

I know the fact on ground but I'll not accept it. The fact that it is a common occurence does not make it acceptable. Nobody should have his/her life threatened constantly because he/she is in a marriage.
