That’s true too. I probably shouldn’t judge all Nigerian men by the ones here on NL.
Deepfeel:

Same way it's beginning to change in women recognizing their self worth, men are changing too accepting the fact that, women are worth more than what our culture and religion made of them

I am writing this based on some of the comments I read on this forum by males as regards female issues.

The African society focuses on training females more than males. They teach girls how to be good wives and mothers and they forget to train our boys on how to be good husbands and fathers.


I believe the average Nigerian man (some) are insecure, have low self esteem and lack self confidence hence why they derive pleasure in insulting women. Sometimes I wonder who raised these boys that they believe their manhood is validated by a woman subjecting herself to him and allowing him be the alpha and omega of her life. That is why a lot of them are obsessed with the word "submission", "captain" and "head of the house title".

A man with confidence, high self esteem would not be obsessed in wanting to control a full grown woman in 2019 who basically has the same rights as he does.
It is insecurity, lack of self esteem and self confidence that makes a man feel intimidated by a sucessful and independent woman.It is due to lack of self esteem that they want to feel on top or over a woman.
They believe their gender or sex makes them lord over every woman. They are obsessed with authority, power and do not know how to be leaders.

They feel it is okay to slut shame sucessful women call ladies despicable names and you wonder if these men have sisters or mothers.

They feel it is okay to lord over a full grown adult and that such adult(women) cannot be a partner but a subordinate.

I believe some of these men raised in Nigeria have personal issues that they need to deal with on their own before bringing an unfortunate woman to share in such misery and clean up their mess.

I blame society's double standard that fails to hold men accountable as much as women are held accountable maybe then this self entitlement mentality, the view of women as commodities and superiority complex would be a thing of the past. Our men need exposure and enlightenment. I hope we raise better boys to become good men in the future and not just women alone.
A woman without low self esteem will not wait for a man to pay her bride price in 2019. She will walk straight to her family and tell them she has found herself a man and ask them to accompany her to the mans family where she ask for the man's hand in marriage

All these baloney are for males like me, who are poor cool sad cool

Women keep saying one thing but doing the opposite.
Women are not seen or treated as commodities.

But it is what they have made themselves.

They have openly kept themselves as objects to be bought by the highest bidder -- applying the law of demand and supply. This hitherto, had been there albeit subtly.



Look at Ned and Regina. Why on earth did Regina leave the young, handsome boyfriend for Ned? Love?

The man bought her. Simple. Like you go to a car stand and buy a benz.
Look
Ubi franklin and his mamas
Iara and Oshiomhole
Davido, WizKids and mamas. Why would chioma stick with Davido for 5 years?

In these 5 years he had imprenated many girls, yet she stayed put. Why? Because of money, fame and affluence.


I admit that there are exceptions like the Jeff Bezoz's wife but it's just few.


So no need playing the victims. Women made themselves commodities. They aren't treated as such but they made themselves so.


At any rate, I won't support the slut shaming of women as seen in this forum. I also understand why men do it. It's survival instinct. Only a few would understand.

I agree with the OP. Most Nigerian men have low self esteem. But a larger proportion of women also have same and they need psychological evaluation and reorientaton.

Reason there are so many post all on about men and women bashing each other.

Could it be poverty of the mind, frustration or combination of both?

Feminism advocates equal "RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES" for both sexes...
The purpose of a woman submitting to a Man is to prevent a
tossle of leadership when both are married!! Two captains cant lead a ship... And because God naturally endowed men with qualities that make them more suitable to lead than women...
It is possible for a woman to enjoy equal rights and opportunities as a man and still submit to her husband!!
A bus conductor who is man, receives slap from time to time.
Please we grant this right fully to women as well.
Go and be bus conductor and receive slap without complaint as well.

Feminist enjoy to sit back, let men setup society to their preference then claim credit of equal rights.

While i may not totally agree with all you say, the rate at which guys derive pleasure from insulting ladies on this forum is annoying and very childish!!

There's a lot of insult on this forum from both genders. In most cases, its just regular conversations& then insults flow. Its a general problem here not necessarily a gender problem

I did just like to make this point that, there seems to be this male dominance attitude rooted in African culture.

But as Christian, the Bible also speaks about submission and respect . But unfortunately, a bunch of male do not take this into account seriously, even though before any married they under take a lot counseling session.

I do think, some of this female forks are directly or indirectly responsible in what often play out to be an abuse, which is not peculiar to our culture.

I can easily pick holes in your argument, firstly it is women that have low self esteem of themselves, they are usually happy to become first lady rather than being governors themselves, they don't mind becoming 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th wife as long as the man can pay the bills...Oba of Benin, Emir of Kano, M C Olumo etc...they don't care whether you are an abero, the watch word is pepper rest. The porn industry is dominated by women because it pays well, here again self esteem is non existent.

These are the sort of women no man should ever pray to get an inch close to,.......

They ruin marriages,..relationships,.chase away your friends,..make you isolated and have the chance to hang you to a rope,....

Can this kind of women play a better role in the family? What will they teach their kids?

Their kids will end up hating their father because of the bad influence of feminism planted in them by their so called mothers

She can even bring another man into the family all in the name of equality

She is ever ready for a divorce, and doesn't care about the outcome just because her husband corrects her or dislikes certain behavior she displays

I now see why men of God said one should pray hard for a better person when looking for a spouse...

Pls if you are heart broken because of a guy's distrust on you,...kindly take it to the next level than becoming a feminist,....wait on God to give you a man that will lobe and cherish you because you are submissive and a good listener to him
