See what i mean. U made mention of married men ordering their wives to pound yam for them to eat at night ba?
Which kind of woman will be serving her husband swallow food at night before bed? Pounded yam for that matter. Only an illiterate or ignorant wife who has no sense of proper nutrition and diet will do such.
For me i think improper meals lead to pot belly stomachs more than beer or lack of going 2d gym (i may be wrong though)

And what if the lazy man insists that he must eat pounded yam or swallow every night? You know how some men can take littlr issues like this to the extreme.
You cannot force someone to stay fit my sister.
I also think i will disagree with u, i believe that no matter the drink you take or improper diet, if you work out extremely hard, it can supplement for all these.
There is no way a man that hits the gym regularly can develop a pot belly even though he drinks a lot or does not have a proper diet.

Really? Shuu! So a super rich dude will be turned down for a super fit dude? U can lie o! Are u related to Lai Mohammed?

Plzzzz, not all of us are gold diggers. Not all ladies believe in a man's wealth. What happened to my own brain and hands?
I cannot marry a rich man with a pot belly. Are there no rich men who are physically fit? Why should i settle for less when i myself go on so much dieting to stay fit?
Physically fit men will also perform their 'manly duty' (u know what i mean) better. So why marry a rich man who cannot satisfy u?

From your moniker, we can tell one of the reasons for your pot belly. Stop drinking too much, get ur lazy ass up and hit the gym. Health is wealth.
drinking beer is not always the cause of protruded belle

there is hardly a day i don't take 2-3 bottles of Goldberg

but my packs are still very much intact

That's carelessness & laziness on the men's part, because as a man when your stomach starts protruding you ought to know that your body is getting outta shape but, instead of hitting the gym nor exercise regularly they we will resort to hit more bottles of beer & plates of isi ewu or ugba at beer palour. As a man, I can't tell my wife to look like Beyonce nor Genevieve for me while I look like her father nor carry 6months undeliverable pregnancy about. it's uncalled for. As a matter of fact, I don't joke with exercise at all, whenever I wake up in the morning I do my 100 press-ups(count down), 50 push-ups & 50 sit-ups and whenever I look at the mirror I love who I see there.


I promised myself that I can't watch beer impregnate me or other wise.

Oh my, this is nice. Nothing but the absolute truth. We need more men like you. wink

lols....i don't like hyping myself but, the truth is that it has been part of me for long now & I'm really enjoying the benefits. I minimized my press-ups to 100 recently because whenever I go to market to get some shirts, bae u go see fine sexy shirt but whenever I test it d thing go come jump, e no go reach my wrist & to button up na wahala. And if you price giant size shirt your pocket go tell you. Believe me dear, if you make exercise a habit, you will enjoy it.

Before, I count down my press-ups from 45-40-35-30-25-20-15. E no easy oh I dey tell u cool

The reason isn't farfetched.They switch off! They veer off from working out, and those who never ever worked out, they very quickly lose their muscles, including muscles in the midsection.Once one loses one's muscles, the stage is set for the reign of fat.What follows is a republic of potbellied men.

But seriously this thing is really annoying. I think we the ladies might share some blame in this because we do not encourage or chastise them on these things. We act like it doesn't matter and before you know it, your hubby has developed a 'pregnancy', a baby he will never deliver.
Imagine u a pregnant wife hugging your own pregnant husband, grin The hands will not be able to reach each other due to the 'double pregancies obstacles'. grin

Another topic which has graced frontpage more than six times since my three year stay. I think my welcome on this forum wore out a long time ago.
Men gain weight easily from age 29 upwards. It's a natural phenomenon. Add to it most of the modern world encourages the least amount of work from human beings and walking or sports of any sort is discouraged after a certain age. I'm yet to see a 40 year old man whose schedule allows him the time to play soccer with friends every saturday morning. I'm also yet to see where he can get friends his age to play soccer with.
People can't stay in shape all through their lives. Those who manage to still gain significant weight sometime in their older years.
An amount of people exist who manage to stay slim all their lives but they are exceptions and never the norm.

[quote author=ianSweet post=50341840]Yes, many Nigerian women develop a pot belly stomach too as soon as they start getting pregnant and giving birth. A good reason for that.

What i don't really understand is why you find many Nigerian men with protruding stomachs, the most annoying part is seeing young men who are just in their thirties and some not even yet married with such protruding bellies. Do you guys get pregnant and deliver babies too? I mean how hard is it to go to the gym regularly and ensure you keep fit?
Some stark lazy ones, once they just get married, they start ordering their wives to pound yam for them every night, eating and boozing carelessly without control.

I am not excusing our women on this too, all am saying is that women have good reasons why they loose their shape after marriage, but men have no goddamn excuse.[/quote]

When madam makes an awesome killing meal that makes a grown man close early and cancel late meetings and you ask why men develop pot belly, it's the wive's fault for being too awesome, if they were bad cooks am sure the guy's stomach would be as flat as my chances of hitting it with Nicki Minaj
