Mindfulness:


Your analogy is inappropriate. Africans like Americans and Europeans used slaves en masse. I don't see how the one is worse than the other.

I can accept you even though you come from a different cultural background is different from seeing someone's soul.

All is well indeed and getting better.

SalomonKane:
Oh really? Yet you crave to be won like a trophy by wishing a man undergo 100 stroke of the cane as penance for your 'bride price?'. Lol.

My dear, women like you love to be spoiled, tamed and pampered beyond recognition, that's how you make yourself easy targets for breeding self seeking men.

Seems you haven't been reading or you deliberately chose to comprehend upside down. Anyway your opinion changes nothing for me .

It's not really my job to convince you. Its ok to disregard my so called "shallow " opinion and move on.

byvan03:



No 2 really? you have no idea. I will walk out on all traditions and the ancestors can roll over in their graves for all I care. You only consider your loved ones and sacrifice just a bit of yourself not to hurt them.

5minsmadness:

I hear u
There's a 99% probability that with all this your making mouth, your family will still give a list to your fiancee and you will blush with pride when he fulfils it all


I left the other 1% out for the sake of statistics

LadyOfgrace:
yes

lezz:
I have. But not before pointing the world to your ankle-deep reservoir of marital knowledge

SalomonKane:
I know not what you mean, neither would I pretend I understand what you just typed. But please, I never intend for my opinion to change the way you reason, for that will be a lost course.

SalomonKane:
This is what i'm trying to say. The West see us as 'not knowing'. So when a man who doesn't 'know' do something bad, at least, 'he doesn't know' talkless of a man who was 100% compos mentis when he commits a crime.

Then accept me by giving me the pleasure of knowing your name.

Splendid.

Blush indeed.

5minsmadness:


Haha! I felt you blush just then

byvan03:



Of course, you can knock yourself out. It will be a shame if you are single and yet deem yourself qualified to have an opinion at all on matters such as this.

lezz:
trivial lies. She seldom makes a comment without that.

lezz:
I am the custodian of Africa's finest norms and tradition. Call me the steward of our fathers' arcanum

I'm a chief, baby(?)

byvan03:




Odiegwu!

5minsmadness:

Added to dictionary

byvan03:



As blushing machine abi?


Actually the whole traditional marriage protocol is beyond annoying. There is no wedding as cool as court wedding. You, your spouse, 2 witnesses. Pay a little extra and have it conducted right there in your sitting room, case closed.

lezz:
Eziokwu

I'm a young lad who has dined with the spirits of our ancestors past.

I see you feeling soft about court marriage. Are you domiciled in the West?

LadyOfgrace:
why didn't you round it off to 1000 likes?

5minsmadness:


Yes, it would be very convenient.



And mundane.




And boring.






Almost shameful, like u r trying to hide the occasion rather than celebrate it.

Even a shotgun wedding would hold more pizzaz


My dear, even u will refuse to marry a man who suggests the above scenario u just painted there!

Mindfulness:




And the funny thing is that any cultural practice MUST differ from any Western cultural practices, which makes Western cultural practices the yardstick after all.

What a paradox!

I want to see an American or a European say: "We have to do this and that so that we differ from Africans."

Mental slavery!


And the funniest thing of all is that Christianity was brought to these people by Westerners along with the gender roles and steeotypes which they are still clinging to.

lezz:
Broda mi. I am honoured.

5minsmadness:


I subtracted nairaland feminists, thier alternate handles and supporters, and then added 30 to correct for attrition

Mindfulness:


Only the not knowing see all Africans as the not knowing. The West is much more diverse than people tend to see them.

cococandy:

@bold, that's funny as hell. It's the part that I find the most ridiculous. They cling to old and sometimes discarded western culture and call it African culture. Smh

It's just the type that appeals to my personality most.

DemiGoddess:

Here!

lezz:
Hey!! It takes seeing to believing.

Can't believe I'm here after nearly 4 months.
It feels like I'm new, strange monikers and all...
