This is the only type of topic the blacks are well versed in.
Pounding yam.
Washing plate.
Cooking food.
In an age where people nay women are conquering space, the blacks only see their worth in domestic affairs.
Custodians of traditions that have made them the laughingstock of the entire human race.
Tueh!



Thank God my countdown to leaving the shithole is almost nigh.
Father, I thank you once again.

Asians have even more stronger traditions than us and they are more developed.

It's true ooooo but most girls don't want to lower their ego and learn how to cook because they think it's making them look like a maid in their husband's houses..........Ehmmm future hubby no need to go for a maid I can pound fufu well........ Just hope it's enough men are never satisfied

bukatyne:


Your ex aside:

You don't like maids; do you believe in doing chores or you except her to do it all alone?

If you expect her to do it alone, is she going to work?

Saintmary:

The perfect woman is the one who can conquer space and still dominate in the home front.

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.



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.

Saintmary:

What do you mean by that. Who is warning you off?

KingMicky3286:
A Nigerian woman lamented on facebook that has since gone viral on the internet that house maids are getting ssuitors and their daughters are been rejected.

She further stated that after training Maids on how to clean, good cooks and do good things. men will leave their daughters and marry the maids.

What do you think of our girls manners these days?

You need to be familiar with Arabs, Koreans, Japanese, Indians then you'll know those cultures withstood the European brainwash and cultural dilution that Africans and particularly Nigerians fell for.
