Reference:Is it the telemundo loving mummy's girls that would be a better custodians of legacies Most of those maids are better equipped to keep your legacies or project vision because they are usually sent out to interact with the real world. They also manage many aspects of their guardian's homes and that makes them better managers. All they need is just a little coaching by you as the man to handle whatever project you have. Having a degree is very different from being wise and knowing how to respond to situations. Many ladies just brandish different certificates but they ain't wise and don't know how to navigate through the storms of life. 2 Likes |

Jman06: Hehehe....the more things change, the more they stay the same. First, go and marry a maid after acquiring all your degrees, and come back here in a few years to share your experience. Several years back, a lot of men in our fathers' generation, married naive, young ladies with limited education, zero exposure and minimal ambition, believing that they would be good wives and life partners, because such women possessed domestic skills in abundance. Okay, o! Fast forward, 10-15 years later after such marriages were contracted, those men moved up the career ladder and were holding distinguished positions, flying all over the world and making good money. That is when many of them realised that their wives who had limited education and poor social skills despite their domestic training, were actually a poor fit for them, or did not match up to their aspirations any longer. So what next? They traded their 'maid-like' wives for newer, improved, educated and sophisticated models. Those new women or 'wives' were good to look at, educationally qualified, intelligent to boot and possessed social skills that could charm birds off the trees. In addition, their degrees and intelligence were a perfect complement to the men's newly acquired wealth. Such ladies also knew how to make mouth watering delicacies, that could make the men lick their plates. So what changed? When the men had nothing, and were just moving up in their careers, their own desires were also limited. So they chose to marry women who they felt would not ask for too much, while managing the home front. As such men rose in their careers, positions, wealth, status and business/political circles, their tastes changed. Their lifestyles got upgraded. And they needed wives, consorts or partners that could fit the bill. In those days, such men had affairs with their secretaries, business associates, female colleagues and those at par with them in the workplace. Quite a number of them ended up marrying such women as second wives, with or without a divorce. Don't forget - polygamy is not a crime in parts of Africa. It is ironic how the same cycle still keeps repeating itself. I hope the men who are now seeking for maids who can clean, cook and perform well in the other room, would not change their tastes a few years later, and trade-in such women for newer, improved, educated models. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Jman06: I repeat again. If you go through the rigors of courtship, dance to the tunes of traditional wedding bands, buy an expensive suit, waste a pastor's precious saturday and feed five thousand men with two loafs and three fishes, all for food and fun alone out of the partner, then you head needs examination. Wouldn't it be better, cheaper and timely to just post a job vacancy and employ the servant in ten minutes. Pally, you don't know the function of marraige at all. I mean at all. 2 Likes |

Things that happen when our manners are westernized. Sons now go to school with guns to settle scores but in our time we used our fists and live to eat together and play football the next day. Daughters are slaying their virtues on the table parental negligence in the name of hustling. God is watching in 3D whoever is irresponsible. Expect more unwifeable daughters and irresponsible sons. Selah! |

Jman06: You are even talking as if the men that are in the market these days, are as good as their fathers once were, when it comes to hard work, discipline, progressive nature, good sense, compassion, respectfulness and meeting their responsibilities. Is it all these immature boys in grown up bodies, with warped mentality, that are seeking for good, domesticated girls to marry? The ones that have turned irresponsibility into a high art, and have made 'baby daddy' a fad? The ones that are Whizzkid imitators, Davido's sycophants and Soundcity copycats? In the past, 'baby daddy' was something shameful, hidden from the world and done in secret. Today, it is flaunted everywhere, like a new pair of Jordache jeans. Many of them do not even have a vision for their lives or a legacy to uphold, so what do they want to keep alive? Many of them have degrees, but little knowledge. They sport a sense of entitlement, that really does not make sense. Yet they expect to be applauded for it. May God deliver us all.... |

laudate: Interesting post. The trend presented here is new to me. Where can one find evidence for this? And how common are such stories for men with wives having much lower educational credentials? Can you speak in terms of percentages? @ the bolded, Given that people have sexual affairs for all sorts of reasons, how are you certain that the mismatch between the husbands and wives' educational and professional profiles were primarily responsible for the affairs you refer to? |
Re: "Suitors Now Prefer Our Maids To Our Daughters For Marriage" - Nigerian Parents by laudate: 11:58pm On May 06, 2018 |
GiantParrot: Guy, I grew up in Lagos, listening to gist being shared by celebrity uncles and aunts in those days. I was the unofficial bag carrier for my elders, and the fetcher of stuff for my aunts, who never missed a good party. There was plenty of gist in Lagos social circles, about who was dating whom, and whose marriage was on the rocks. The society pages of most newspapers and magazines in those days, also contained salacious details of the marital break up of top business men and women, as well as the reasons for such break ups. Those gossip columns were the predecessors of the Encomium magazines and City People, of today. At most of those parties, you would see big successful business men and top technocrats attending parties with different women who were not their 'first' wives, but the 'second.' One look at the 'first' wife, and you would know what went wrong. A lot of the time, the first wives were frumpy madams with limited education, poor dress sense and minimal social skills, while the second wives were psychedelic, trendy 'soyoyos' with panache, education and class. Do a review of divorce cases that took place in the late 80s-90s and early 2000. Most of the reasons for the dissolution of such marriages, are factors that most psychologists are familiar with. Infidelity is often cited, on the part of the man, but the truth is that distance had been created between the couples long before infidelity set in. Infertility is also another, which has nothing to do with the educational/professional mismatch between couples. I don't have info or statistics on percentages or ratios, but the gist is real. Ask most vicars or pastors in our local churches, who provide counselling to old and new couples, and they would corroborate this scenario I described in my previous post. GiantParrot: Affairs are a sign that something is lacking in a marriage, or something has gone wrong between a couple. The mismatch between a couple's educational & professional profile, could create tension between a husband and wife, if it is not properly managed. If some spouses (due to their limited exposure and education) are unable to understand the job demands of their better half, or they become suspicious for no other reason than the fact that their husband/wives spends too much time away from home, or even spend too much time with the opposite sex, then it could be a recipe for misunderstanding. Such suspicion could be borne out of a sense of insecurity or an inferiority complex, if the poorly educated wife often compares herself with her husband's trendy educated female colleagues and associates. Some of those insecure, needy wives then make life uncomfortable for their husbands due to their suspicions. Such men might then gravitate towards women in their field or within the workplace, who they feel understand them better and can contribute intelligently to their career decisions, or choices. Before you know it, a rapport is established and it doesn't take much for an affair to start. PS: Please note, I have not said all couples who are educationally and professionally mismatched, would end up in a divorce. Some of such marriages, do work and thrive. But the mismatch has been cited in a number of cases, as one of the reasons why couples grow apart in later years. 1 Like |
