Copy and Pasted as seen.

A husband in Africa in most cases is under intense tension because he is responsible for:

Children school fees
House rents
Electricity bills
Medical bills
Generator fuel & repairs
Car fuel and repairs
Feeding of family
Clothes for children
Xmas and New year bills
Furniture &House maint
In-laws wahala/demand
His own aged parents
His siblings most times
His wife's demands
Vigilante bills
Erecting Building
Religious demands
Family social bills
Electronics bills
Recharge cards
Extended family bills
Community demands

On top of the above, he also faces:

Wife stress/insults
Boss stress at work
Police stress on the way
Area boys stress
Kidnappers fear
Friends stress
Economy stress
Fear of job loss
Unemployment pains
Armed Robbery stress
Children misbehaviour
Neighbours stress
Bank loan paymnt stress
Witchcraft stress
Demonic attack stress
Sex stress
....and so on! OMG!!

Are these reasons not enough for all African Wives to understand and give their husbands peace at home? Are men not trying? How can an African man with this kind of load be romantic like an American man? Women, please give your husband peace at home. Encourage your husband. Stop being sarcastic to him. Except if you like to join the widows club early! Note:
That club is not funny. Ask members. Help your husband. Contribute to the family. Be a helper. Be submissive. Stop nagging. Build your home and marriage. It is not greener outside there. Don't be deceived!!
Let our men and husbands live long like you. Men dey beg una

google will tell u that nagging and bills are more reason why men die ahead of the wifey.

the truth of the matter is that most husband were born years back before their wife

If you don't carry to much load than you can bear, you won't die before your time

You forgot that most husbands in Africa are way older than their wives. With these bad economy, some get financially buoyant enough to marry at even 40 something and will pick a girl in twenties. Who do you expect to die first?

I totally concur

how old is buhari that is almost dead, how old is Aisha?

how old is senator yerima and how old are his wives?

how old was ojukwu when he married Bianca?

why won't they die first

Please, many women are doing all the above listed and even more, and they still haven't died before their spouses.
Providing isn't the exclusive rights of the man, as we can see in present day Nigeria. Many women hustle legitimately, and bring in much needed bread into their homes.

The real reasons men die earlier than their wives-
1. Following the natural order of things: the older should die before the younger. Its not rocket science. Most men in Nigeria marry younger women.
2. Health seeking behaviour amongst men. Many men don't seek medical intervention for ailments worrying them in time. They usually present late with their ailments, which already have become complicated and more difficult to treat.
3. Lifestyle choices- it's a known fact that men drink more and smoke more in Nigeria than women. Alcohol makes people lose inhibition, gives false confidence, increase the risk taking behaviour and so you see more men drink driving and killing themselves in the process.
Cigarettes without any doubts has been linked to almost all the chronic deadly diseases. Even the tobacco companies clearly give their warnings that smokers are more liable to die young.
4. Men have been known to take more risks than women. Usually impulsive btw, and not necessarily calculated.
5. Men have also being known to take up more dangerous jobs than women. You hardly find women engineers on oil rigs, or as firefighters, or find them climbing mtn masts, or nepa poles.
6. Men are naturally at risk of certain disease such as hypertension. That's definitely not going to prolong their lifespans will it?
7. Certain dangerous vices are found more amongst men such as kidnappings, armed robbery. You find women committing such crimes too, but more of men. And of course such crimes carry their own risks- being shot at sight by law enforcement etc.
8. Men are at a higher risk of succeeding in committing suicide than women, even though we have more suicide attempts amongst women. Women usually attempt suicide, but are usually not successful
If a man decides to commit suicide, he's more likely to succeed.

Etc..... I could go on and on. Most of the points I've put up there are researched facts, and not beer parlour gists that men die from the nagging of their women

All what you have said is true.....but a man without peace of mind...due to wahala from his wife will most likely die earlier than his time

How come women who are bread winners and still submissive to thier husbands not dying

khalids:

Hope you know some women too don't have peace of mind from their husbands. Yet, they haven't died.

What you should be more concerned is "what are the causes of death of the men in question?"

There's no cause of death/ sickness called "wahala".

Are they dying from cancer? Linked with smoking btw. Are they dying from obesity, hypertension , diabetes?
Are they dying from road traffic accidents? Linked with alcohol ingestion too.
Or are the wives poisoning their husbands?

I know stress is also linked with a lot of diseases, but stress because your wife is a nag is highly improbable. The stress is more likely due to the fact that you're trying to make ends meet, or a loss of a loved one/ money etc.
But again, women also face these same stressors, and yet the men still die before them.
So it's definitely more than just nagging causing this. Certain hormones found in women can be protective against heart diseases though, so that's another reason why women may live longer.

This isn't an Africa-only phenomenon. Women all over the world typically live longer than men / men die before women do.

Funny a lot of the items you mentioned, drinking, smoking, etc.......are some means by which men try to escape the hell in their homes....and at the end of the day these vices kill them

End of discussion. Coupled with war, men die more than women during war-time.


Globally, women live longer than men.

Alcohol and drugs are major contributors to why they die earlier.

Wife come with knife

men bear the bulk of the family's burden and moreover I think women cope with stress better.

.
They are facts as I did read it up when researching for a project in psychology

Men die earlier than women because they think and worry a lot, every little thing they just over think it.

Don't agree that men over think things....Its just that they shoulder a lot of responsibility....and when you add a non supportive and abusive wife to the equation......that one na die
