This is the problem with africans...we men seem to think that a woman is our slave,married to wash and cook then make babbies and bring up children while men sit like a God and a master of the house.

Look at a woman who is meant to be fighting for the rights of her gender encouraging this injustice to women engendered by the bible and all the ancient nonsensense called holy books

A woman is a full equal of man and is not made to serve.....the sacrifice,pains and danger a woman pass through while giving birth to a child is far more than the so called suffering of christ which is meant to save us and instead will condemn a majority of humans to eternal fire for not believing he died for us

did you say " so called suffering of christ"? My Brother even if you don't have respect for anyone, respect your creator. One who came down to earth, died on the cross, endured the pains just to redeem your soul and mine then you use deflamatory words on Him. May God forgive you!

oh...no be her duty abi?.....assuming they are broke and the man told her one day....honey am tired of providing for this family....its not my duty,I've been doing it coz I wanna show love

What makes you think that she wouldn't be providing for her family too? . How many full time housewives do you know?

Also in family arrangements where the man works while the woman doesn't, it is only common sense she takes care of stuffs like that.

Any other kind of arrangement, it is her choice.

Your opnion, you can impose it on your wife.

But for me, it is not a must and I will never choose to wash it. I am not your wife and I can never be

Let me be

If you do, keep it yasef. Ion give an effing 'f' about it. You might as well be lying with 'still' in a past tense. Undies my foot mtcheew

Idio.ts have already made it a declaration of humility, submissiveness and a woman's duty.

Small thing now, WM would be considered a luxury. If Alakija can do it, all women must too


The woman is probably trying to illustrate her own little way of caring for husband

Joy1706:

Are you blind? You said and I quote "MY GF WILL EXPECT ME TO BUY AN IPHONE...."

What nerve do you think you have hit? Yeah you get new iPhones every year and I change my Ferrari twice in a year. See how easy it is to make claims on the net? Try again my dear

My sister, take the next turn; you might find solace and kool off.

'Expect' as used in my construct means 'strongle belief that something will or should happen' which is different from the belief that something may happen. I guess you were assuming 'may' which is not the same as 'expect'.

The bottom line is, if your gf 'expects' you to do something, you have little or no wiggle room.

In any case, make you no vess, I no get your time.

linearity:


I think we must be responding to different things; my post was not directed at the OP's original post, where Mrs. Alakija was quoted as listing; washing her husband's undies as part of her chores, until six year ago; as you might have erroneously concluded.

Rather, I was responding to a specific post that equates, the washing of undies to submissiveness on the part of the woman...and I argued that, if that activities equates to submissiveness on the part of a lady; it must be equally true to draw the same conclusion, if the man does it; and since the subject of male submissiveness to their wife is a contradiction in our traditional Nigerian setting, it then means such activities by the ladies can not be equal to submissiveness.

Was just trying to prove the poster wrong by contradiction. I will not even response to your insult about IQ; as that will drag this conversation into the gutter. However, if you insist we can both take some IQ tests and compare notes thereafter; there are some reputable online IQ testing centers.

I didn't read the whole. ...just the end,when I noticed IQ.So I would prefer our individual achievement, that's real.
But then , I seriously don't ve your time

daretodiffer:


Why undies, why not all his clothes? Or al his meals? Does she iron all his clothes too? Don't forget that she has the money to buy lots of washing machines yet, she chose to wash his undies?. Basically, she is telling the world that she shows love by washing his undies. I don't have a problem with it. She also said she kisses him twice a day, does that mean every woman should also do the same?


I will show love the way I want to but it is definitely not by washing my husband's undies.

Like I said, good luck to that

Because people don't share your opinion, doesn't mean you should call others idiot, be civilized in your approach. Don't be juvenile.
So pant washing was used to prove her love.You don't get do you.Let me help you a bit,a lot of wives do but won't come out to tell the whole world they do, but she did despite her been the richest woman from Nigeria,the epiphany of success, the height of women's success in entrepreneurial skills,that no woman in Nigeria has ever achieved,yet washes her husband's underwear. Obviously with this alot of angry ladies who uses her as an example when striving to defend their naive course, would leave her out of the list now . Sorry,another one bites the dust.A major one for that matter

NanciaKay:
Lol..... who for wash them for you before? Shebi you even stopped 6yrs ago? Why u come the tell us now?

U don't gat the message. She is rich enough to buy plenty washing machine but she prefer using her hand to wash it.


And she would av continue till now if her husband does not stop her.She shows how she love and respect him despite she is an influential woman in Africa,so it is a legacy.

I have a right to call them idi.iot because that is what they are. When you try to twist something to suit your depraved ideology, I have every right to call you an idi.ot. Why should idiots expect me to do something because some people chose to. If it weren't a big deal, wash your cloth yourself na. I will even give you my own join

A lot of wives might love washing it, their choice, their business. They are welcome to consider it part of a wifely duties. Their choice gives no right to one moro.n to twist it to mean something else or to think that I am stupi.d for not giving a damn.

If someone expects me to prove anything by washing some pants, he must be delusional




Your argument is so out of the window. I have told you why yesterday. I am not getting into it again

Seaga, here is another explanation from a man

A woman who has money to get something done but rather she chose to it herself, it only means one thing and that is love.


There are many ways to show love, but for me washing is not one of it.

Bro, that girl's got anger issues. It's better not to quote her anymore

VickyRotex:
" I still wash his undies until six years ago that he insisted I should stop."

I'm not an English Teacher. But I think that's an Oxymoron. It's contradicting. You "still" wash it and yet you stopped washing it 6 years ago.

But we get the point though.

Except you've forgotten how we communicate and express ourselves in English here in Nigeria. I guess she was trying to make us understand the continous tense backed up by a past participle tense in her wifey duties. She's a good wife material (naija expression) even with all the bulky and bulging bank balance... I doff my hat for her. Wish I could have a wife like her. "He that findeth a virtuous wife findeth a good thing and the Lord crowneth her and her husband with overpouring blissful blessings" #MyQuote... lol
