Men are failures from the very beginning of the world: Adam was put in the garden to keep it and for Eve was created to keep him company and help him. What happened? Adam left his duty post which gave the serpent space to come around in d first place. Ok. After God had shared the punishments, women are serving their own till today, the serpent is serving its own till today but what about men? As common as fend for their families, what do see? complaints every where. Sha.....**m....****e on men! Plz don't quote diz comment. Let's see yours!



Your own story of creation is stupid and inaccurate,listen, Adam went out just like every responsible man to find food for his family and boom! upon arrival chaos and disorder was already waiting for him, why didn't the devil first tempt Adam? because he was always busy looking out for his family unlike the lazy-ass, demon-filled, garrulous, over entitled, stupid eve. woman have always been man's problems from creation. marriage is not a job opportunity lazy ass bi*ches!

you didnt read your bible well, Adam's job drscriptiin BEFORE THE FALL was to tend and keep the garden and name the animals and also rule over them. Eve was simply company for adam, a helpmate, not a fifty fifty, not a head of the family. God never told eve about the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he told adam. that was why the serpent deceived eve.

Adam is the reason for the FALL OF MAN, not eve.

Adam's job became BOTH their job.
They would work together to achieve goals and if she is with child he is there to keep on doing.

As to the fruit...IF YOU ACTUALLY READ the bible instead of flicking through to cherry pick what supports your laziness... Eve repeated Adam's instruction to her when the snake came. Adam had already instructed her about what God said of the tree, and she knew God is real because he fellowshiped with them.

SHE had all the tools to not screw up, but she decided to ruin everything because of HER GREED.
By the time she had already brought it to Adam, she HAD ALREADY eaten it.
He saw himself as her protector, being the weaker sex, and He didn't want her to be alone in the carnage to come.
That is why he ate it too....in self sacrifice to EVE's foolishness.

So shut up with all that.
Lazy people will always twist briefly transposed scripture to suite their corrupt purposes.

Read genesis 2 and 3 clearly, the instruction God gave adam and what eve told the serpent was slightly different.Adam never saw eve as the weaker sex before the fall, they had no idea of gender before the fall, Adam saw eve as his helpmeet and companion. Becoming the weaker sex came after the fall as eve's punishment. lastly show me the scripture and verse where adam ate tge fruit in sacrifice to eve's naiveity (not foolishness) . i would have loved to explain this further in detail but you have proved that you are one of those men who can't learn from a woman and is blinded to the truth because of your ego.

talking more to you will be a waste of time. learn to change your effiminate, weak mindset. Bye.

Haba, is your need to twist scripture this bad that you will be lying again?

God said: If you eat the fruit, you shall surely die.
Eve said exactly that to the serpent: God said if we eat this fruit, we shall surely die.

then the Serpent entered her head with: You shall not surely die, but you will be like God.

And just like that, she allowed a snake she met just now fool her into disobeying her God and her husband....because she LUSTED after the thought of being like God. Her GREED made her dissatisfied with the current peaceful situation and she lusted after God's powers.

Adam ate the fruit because she had already damned herself, and it was a Romeo Juliet move. That's what you do when there is no other woman in the world, and the last one has basically killed herself in seeming naivety. He figured he might as well die with her.

Opinionated:
A lot of people have been married for years but still find it very difficult to get their finances in order.

This might be due to various reasons such as the famous, ‘your money is our money and my money is my money’ that most Nigerian ladies not just say, but usually adhere to when they get married, and other problems that would be explained in this post.

Money problems in marriage are pretty much expected, but they’re easy to avoid at the same time if you can avoid these 4 financial problems in marriage.

Not sharing expenses

This is one of the major money problems a lot of marriages experience in Nigeria. Despite the fact that a lot of young people now have access to information that is relevant to financial independence, a lot of women still assume the husband should bare most if not all the expenses.

However, splitting the financial responsibility to an equal 50/50 is not realistic because women have expenses that men will never have to worry about. At the same time both partners rarely make the same income.

Therefore, a better approach would be to look at the overall expenses and income of the family, and then come up with a budget that works for both partners. Paying for all the expenses by one partner might come with good intentions from the start, but after a while it would create tension and pressure.

Keeping money secrets

It is no brainer that keeping money secret is not healthy for any relationship. Not only would it ruin the trust, it could also lead to resentment from the offended partner.

This does not just apply to keeping secrets about some extra cash you have somewhere, it also includes not letting your partner know you have loan to be paid, if you have one. It might seem embarrassing but it’s the right thing to do. That way you would be able to figure out a better and easier repayment plan which might include your partner helping you pay some of it and vice versa.

You should also let your partner know your credit score, as this would help both of you when you want to apply for a loan together for a new home or other heavy purchase.

Leaving one partner to manage the money

In a lot of Nigerian marriages, one partner manages the money and that is usually the husband and recently the wife. This is fine when that is done because the partner managing the money is better at money management, but that does not mean you should leave the entire money
decision and management to just your partner. Sometime s budgeting and keeping records of expenses can be overwhelming, so you need to work together to ease the stress. Also, anything can happen to the partner who manages the money, would you be fine financially without your partner?

You might not know the full details of how every Naira is spent, but at the very least, you should know how to access your money in the event of an emergency.

Not budgeting properly

As stated earlier about splitting expenses, having a budget in place will help you figure out how to manage the family expenses. Write down all of your income and expenses, once you have all this info, you can decide how the expenses will be split. Don’t forget to budget savings e.g. travel, and short-term major purchases for a car or a home.

Also, be prepared to review and change your budget when the need arises like when you get a raise, or an addition to the family. When such changes happen try and see how you can save more or where you can cut expenses depending on what the situation is at the time.

However, if you realize that you and your partner are not good at managing money, you should visit a financial institution for financial advice on how to manage your money. In most cases, getting financial advice is free.

Finally, note that marriage and money are never easy but can be quite satisfying when you have it clearly stated out and in control through proper planning and consistent efforts towards your financial freedom as a couple.
