You're an entertaining troll, mainly because of your amusing ability to say much without any substance, you know, the fox chasing it's own tail. What, pray tell, do you think I wannabe that I already ain't?

I challenge you to articulate your thoughts(?), if any such thing exists, in a manner suggestive of someone with a functional brain. I have enormous faith in you as a human. smiley

Yet you refuse to heed the words of this Gaskin fella? In a sane environment, you'd be changed up. Your comments give the distinct feeling of you looking in the mirror and seeing me; which means there's something wrong with that mirror, your eyes, your brain, your mind or all listed. I assure you, Kulyie, I'm not you and you couldn't possibly be the awesome-ness that is me. Make quick so seek help of the right kind.

PS: It's admonitions, not admonishions, by the way. It's not a yoruba word. Just my quota to educating the semi-literates of the world. You're welcome. wink

They will give you black board and chalk including other materials that will aid your students to learn.

Rationality doesn't exist in the same sphere as you, as such, I expect it to fly over your head.

How about you ignore my posts which, by all accounts, you are neither forced to read nor respond to? Now, that would be rational. How rational are you, Kulyie?

Because in this part of the world, women are seen as mere possession which must dance to every tune the owner plays.

It painful because right from childhood, the society tells the girl child that marriage is the sole purpose of her existence. She must do everything to get married and remain married.

Hence, whenever her husband beats her, she must have done something wrong and must learn to endure and suffer in silence.

let me ask u a q

so as educated and enlightened as i believe u are

1. you still see yourself as a possession of someone who has no mind of her own?

2. Is marriage the purpose of your existence

Yes or NO would suffice to each of the questions

Ahem...
1. Women are seen as possession everywhere in the world, I assure. The difference exists in the prevalence of this opinion. My point is not everyone sees women as possession. You are either possession or not, if you are, don't blame it on society. I don't consider Mrs. Timbuktou possession, and I assure you she doesn't either.

2. You also fail to mention that society also demands that males get married too and, in fact, groom them to be husbands and fathers. Unless you're saying men are exempt from marriage and women marry only women? I don't know any culture/tribe in Nigeria who looks favourably on unmarried men. Enlighten me, please.

3. First of all, only a psycho husband would beat an unerring wife. This is not to say that wife-battery is acceptable, of course. But if a man is silly enough to resort to violence against his wife, the first thing the women, who aren't the law by the way, should do is find out why she was battered in the first place.


A pertinent question would be, why do women still get battered despite extreme legislation aimed at quelling the act?

You are right. if you do not see your wife as a possession, there are guys out there who do.

The society always see little or nothing wrong with recklessness on the part of the masculine gender.

My point is, the society has placed a whole lot of limitations on women that to some extent, some do not even know their right anymore.

Then you should be able to explain Why some women would prefer to die an unhappy marriage rather than speak out and liberate themselves.

Why are you getting me all wrong?. In this part of the women are seen as mere possession is quite different from women see themselves as mere possession or are mere possessions.

Other men thinking my wife is possession is absolutely irrelevant to me.

What do you mean by recklessness on the part of the masculine gender? Please, elaborate.

We can say the same for men, but we'd be wrong to blame society. Society tends to do what's best for it and so should humans.

Lol... not your wife, I meant there are guys out there who see women as a mere possession.

Everyone seem to excuse the flaws of the masculine gender with phrases of this nature 'he's a man. That's how they behave' and to the wife 'marriage is not a bed of rose, Divorce is not a good thing, you just have to keep enduring and keep praying for him'


When I used the word society, I was referring to our values, customs, norms and tradition.

But you and I are the society

You are not a possession
I dont see my partner as a possession or puppet

What then is the issue

If you said this 20 years ago, you may have had more of a point
If you spoke about those who live in Northern Nigeria, I will agree


Why refer to society when a lot of people are not living according to the dictates of the same society or societal trends are changing

A few years ago, polygamy was acceptable, now its old fashioned
Women own property
They have careers

Why still refer to a generic "They are possessions, or puppets or fish brains" excuse

Like I said earlier, I answered a question based on what I see in the society.
Polygamy because outdated cos of it's numerous disadvantages.
The society still influence our way of life to a large extent. When a man cheats, the wife is expected to forgive and look for ways to bring him back home but when the wife cheats, it would be all over the net 'a married woman caught in the act with her lover' and comments like 'she's such a disgrace to womanhood' would follow. The society does not frown at a promiscuous man like it does to a promiscuous woman. Even most of our home videos preach endurance to a fault

Societal trends are changing only in written words but in actions, it remains the same

The fact that a woman owns cars and properties does not mean she automatically is not a victim of domestic violence. She could be
