Yes I am a lady. The post is a MUMU POST because the guy committed a fallacy of hasty generalization. He said every woman is after a rich guy. Has he met every woman? He asked that every wife who does not pay part of bills should be divorced, is that what his BIBLE/QURAN told him? Does he not know some men HATE it when their wives foot bills? There are lots of REAL MEN outside there who do not need a woman's money because they understand what it means to me a father and husband.

BTW, Teebliz has never been rich, he did not just go broke. Tiwa married him knowing he was a broke dude. Ourchoice and yourself should not expect her to stay with a guy who is hell bent on squandering her wealth on other woman, hard drugs, debt and other vices.

Take it or leave it, there are A LOT OF MARRIED WOMEN who take care of the house with their money.

I get the message you're trying to pass across. And also, not all women marry men cos of their money.

But you know wat, am not gonna say much abt this Tiwa & Teebillz news cos i dont agree with tiwa 1%. Teebillz likewise bleeped up big time

I'm glad you get my point on MOMEN/MEN relationship. Those celebs should solve their problems themselves biko

This is why I advice parents to collect #1 bride price so if the man starts forming I spent my money to marry you, you just slap his face with his yeye bride price and kick his ass out.
No be force Na. She wants to move on let her be.

Realeast shi..t ever.

Custom or no Custom, i pray the Lord will intervene in the divorce saga very soon.

What a load of stupid bullock. So someone will suffer to bring a child into this world and you have the guts to open your mouth and tell her that she has no right over the child?

How did the people who concocted such traditions even feel when carrying out such unfairness?
Mtchew.

I can't imagine what I'll do to someone who tells me I don't have a right over my own child that I bore from my womb.

Yea.
But both parents made the child so BOTH parents have rights to the child.

One would be wrong to say that it is only the father that has right to the child, or the mother has the right to the child alone

I have read all the posts here and I can say I am indeed saddened by the responses of this young generation including some of mine. Especially the female folk and some kitten whipped males.

They have been so brainwashed by western media and feminist ideals that they have abandoned everything African and adopted the white mans culture as their way of life all thanks to movies, novels, music, talk shows and the likes.

There's a good reason China and Russia censor everything coming from the West. This is to forestall brainwashing and eroding of their own culture which is what is happening to stupid Africans post colonization. Go to the Middle East and see if they've not held on to their culture and values to produce strong family ties and homes.

The West calls it oppression and defines theirs as liberation. Yet what have they to show for it? Highest divorce rates in the world, emasculation of men, single parent homes, pornography, $exu@l perversion, increase in paedophiles, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy etc

All the OP said was in Yoruba tradition under which the two were married, this is what obtains. People have been ranting about what the culture takes away and all that. I can bet my left ear the bulk of the feminazi and their apologists as well as the woman wrapper men are from the south east where there is no respect for elders and their culture is built along the tracks of money.

Make no mistake. I do not condone oppressive cultural tenets that seek to take away the basic human rights of the individual. However, there's a thin line between defining what is oppressive and what is a hierarchical arrangement in a system as well as provisions, roles and rights. What an American woman calls oppressive by their culture is normal to a Yoruba woman. Else, when you go to the Middle East where women aren't even allowed to drive, cannot go out alone and don't even vote, then you'd know true oppression of women. Talk less of Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Syrian etc culture.

Our Nigerian women have been so brainwashed into thinking every aspect of the culture our forefathers built before Beyoncé was even born to sing "single ladies" is suddenly oppressive. Culture that kept the home and marriages intact. Marriages where they did not even court before ending up together yet stayed for 70 to 80 years and the man loved out grannies to death. Ask these blindly led feminist girls to pay for your date at an expensive restaurant as they do in American culture and they will shower you with abuse.

As the late Awo said, I'm a Yoruba man first before a Nigerian. I add, before a citizen of the global village. I rest my case.

What is this one saying?
You don't know Jack about what you are talking about....


Okay let's start from the scratch...
Yoruba culture (though I'm not one, but I know) does not condone talking bad to your elders. That Idiot T-Billz lost my respect when he called his mother in law a Witch.
Does Yoruba culture condone that?

Second, does Yoruba culture support sleeping around with women WITHOUT paying the woman's bride price? Even though it may support polygamy?

Third, forbtalkimg trash about my culture (South East) that says a lot about the kind of person you are. Why talk rubbish when you don't know anything about my culture?

Fourth, no culture recognises the woman being the bread dinner of the house. That nigga relinquished his right as a man culturally the moment he stopped being in charge in that department.
You are talking of culture abi, who have their daughrer out to a man without visible source of income?

And you are here talking culture.

What many of you men do is to quote culture/bible/Koran only when it suits you guys. It should apply to both of them.

Before you crucify me, I am not saying Tiwa is perfect, because she has her faults too, but what this nigga did was unacceptable. Call a spade a spade

Good night

Like I stated, that is the way they tie a wife down. He will ask her to endure for the child's sake. That was where culture kept wives.
Ask many men here how their dads treated their moms and ask why she did not leave the marriage. You will see that it was the culture.
To me the culture should be tweaked to make both men and women responsible. Not to allow a group choose to abuse and demoralize the other because they know custom is on their side t(Note I did not say they all do o)
If a man knows that the woman is allowed and even encouraged to leave his home and he will be shammed for his nasty attitude in his marriage. And if the woman knows that she can not leave her home on some shitty flimsy excuse without getting a lashback. Both of them will work on keeping their home happy.
Many of us can testify about how our mothers sat there and took it all because she could not leave without her kids. Is that what we want our daughters to endure in the name of culture? Culture shouldn't be one sided. Culture should protect every citizen.

Did you say many of us?
Now I understand you, you must be from such background.
But as I have told you before, not all men were like that to their parents, and my mother did not have to endure anything (thanks to my dad ) So please don't generalise eh.

Does "many of us" mean all of us? to quote me just hungry you or you do not know the meaning of generalization? Even if I am from such a background? What does that add to your life? I thank God you are not from "such background" so can you leave people from such background to iron out their issues without you rushing to prove them wrong?
Yes many of us. Does that include your parents in the mix? If it doesn't then thank God and jump am pass. only a strange fellow will say something doesn't exist because it did not happen to him. I am still looking for where I said all husbands are bad. You are just too eager to prove a point where no one is arguing any with you. Typical.

For your information, when a speaker says many of us, our daughters, our sons, , our husbands,our fathers, it doesn't not always/necessarily mean us personally.
If I say our sons are being killed by Fulani herdsmen, it doesn't mean I have a son or that my son was killed, if I say our mothers are being harassed in the market it doesn't mean My very mom was harassed in the market. So Abeg, move on. If it helps, just tell yourself that you won this argument.

I can only hope Tiwa and her husband find the grace to work things out on their own. If she were ur sister, what would you have advised

From indications it is better for Tiwa to have custody of the rather.
