pearlzy92: I have been trying to figure out the kind of answer u want to hear because irrespective of what the woman does she should nt get hit. And yes women tend to push their husbands too far but I don't think anyone deserves such in this life
Then the question shouldn't be asked. The op starts a thread 'why do men hit their wives?' Its a question. If they don't want the answer they can label the thread 'let's abuse men who hit their wives' or something like that instead.
Its your house. If you are not comfortable with her staying there, explain it to your wife. At least she can stay for a month or two till she can get a place of her own but not that she will stay throughout.
Misogynist2014: There is a group of jobless women on Nl, some claim to live under the waters of Germany, some claim to live in shangisha, that's none of my business! [b]They move around doing and the same thing everyday without monotony having effects on them. The prayer of any operator(op) is for them to focus on his thread, at least he is sure of 5 pages. [/b]They shout and shout daily about feminism. If you want the latest Rihanna news, they are there for you, they cry and cry daily yet the woe of women worsen daily. They cry yet those that matter in Nigeria, the Mercy Johnsons, Omotolas don't believe in equality. They must be a real burden for their spouse!
Mondisweets: That's her opinion, just like everyone else she is entitled to her own. So must the world come to an end because Omotola is not in support of gender equality?
I liked this post.
The woman is prolly right now having sweet sex with her man and some single ladies are here killing themselves and their mb over what she said
Stillfire: Don't tell me you are using emotions to argue. This is logic. When you infer an inequality, there is an imbalance that places one at an esteemed edge over the other. If you cannot understand that, go dust your primary 1 exercise books. So less is a better adjective to inferior? Buhahaha. You really must think you are talking to your ten ten girls and boys.
Took you a while to return with a fitting comeback. Guess you had to rap your head pretty hard to come up with this one. If anyone is being emotional here miss, its you. A lady states very clearly her stand on a particular issue and instead of taking it for what it is you resort to misinterpreting her statement to calm your frayed nerves.
You were the one who brought up the 'she inferred women are inferior to men' thing to whip up sentiment. My dear omotola said nothing of the sort. She simply stayed that men and women are not equal and you came out with guns blazing, citing Google/Wikipedia to try and bring the successful, popular and I might add well liked actress to your side. When that didn't work you resorted to trying to call her unintelligent. Sounds emotional to me.
Men and women are not equal. You cannot have two captains on a plane. A team can have only one leader. A home can have only one head- the man. That doesn't make the woman inferior, but she is definitely not the head. Its that simple.
Stillfire: Again logic! You don't believe in gender equality, so you believe in a dynamism where one is unequal to another. What does an inequality mean, something is greater than or less than something. When something is greater than something it posits a sign of superiority over the other. So that leaves the other as inferior. Again only unintelligent people will fall for this crap to continue the abuse of power by patriarchy.
Sigh.
You are extrapolating. Inferior is a far more unacceptable word than less. But anyway, show me where she said a woman is less than a man in terms of less being inferior.
Again only unintelligent women will nitpick every spoken word to see if an offence has been committed. Bitter people. Always so bitter and old and single ,
Stillfire: Buhaha. I don't know why you guys bother us. When there are millions of Nigerian girls desperate for marriage, busy praying and waiting on their lords and masters to show up. Why is it the ones on NL you keep bothering yourselves about? Feminism is here to stay! Ain't going back, rotflmao!
The future wives of Nairaland men, waiting on the Lord.
Ermmm, miss, you quoted the wrong person oh. Wetin concern me and una? Most Nairaland feminist girls have never experienced the real world and have nothing to offer apart from fast fingers and insultive prowess.
lightoftruth: If really u meant what you said, your type of girls is the reason why I don't want to marry and sadly 95% of present day girl on nairaland are like you. SMH
Fixed.
There are a lot of decent girls out there bro. Most of them however are too busy doing one thing or the other to come online.
I meant a lie is sweet for the person who tells it, not the one who received it. Truth however is usually difficult to swallow but worth it on the long run.
Stillfire: You must really think you are talking to one of the Nigerian girls you used to played ten ten with in primary school where logic was pretty much nonexistent.
So in other words you are saying Nigerian girls in primary school are stupid? I don't think so.
Please let's apply logic here. If you don't believe in gender equality, you have opened a host of ammunition to place you at an unequal balance scale, meaning a man is greater than the woman, and the woman lower than he is.
Once again, her words:
I believe that in every organised institution, there is always a head and an assistant. It doesn’t mean that one should take the other for granted, or disrespect the other
And yes Omotola did not do her research well to know the meaning of gender equality, otherwise she would never ever say such.
She simply explained it based on the way she saw society (especially women) interpreting it. I see you quickly browsed Google to get the definition of gender equality, however the way you women portray it and carry on about it is not in any way reflective of the definition. You ladies feminists throw it in the face of every and any man the moment you want things to go your way. If a woman hits a man the man should be understanding, if a man hits a woman he should be crucified. Feminist hypocrisy has been their worst enemy since inception.
Weathering it down with psuedo-conclusions are just dismissive and deceitful acts to shy away from the depth of truth when you conclusively wade off gender equality that the woman is inferior to the man. Only unintelligent women would fall for this deceit.
You are the one bringing deciet into this matter. Show me where she said a woman was inferior to a man.
Intelligent women will see the wisdom in what she has said and use it to their advantage in managing their lives and their homes. Unintelligent women will keep being bitter and single and seeing attacks where there is none.
TribalEAST: Buys popcorn.....awaits nairaland's feminists aka paper tigers to come and eat omotola up.
It has begun already. Next thing they will try altering her words or misinterpreting what she said and if that doesn't work they can always attack her character. All because she spoke the truth Meanwhile they cant even boast of achieving half of what she achieved at their ages.
Stillfire: Stop being emotional. It was just a question.
@Topic This crap has already been trashed. Omotola believes in gender inequality. I guess she was made in a lower degree to a man. Who am I to question what people choose to label themselves? In her defense, I think English was the problem
Meaning: Gender equality, also known as sex equality, gender egalitarianism, sexual equality or equality of the genders, refers to the view that men and women should receive equal treatment, and should not be discriminated against based on gender, unless there is a sound biological reason for different treatment.
Gender equality is a human right. Any human being that fails to understand this should go petition the UN or preferably give up their rights to live in this century. Feminism is here to stay, for the main fact that Patriarchy exists. It is highly important that these two systems check each other.
You don't need to defend her. She knows exactly what she was saying. Don't twist the topic either. This is what she meant.
“I don’t believe in gender equality. I do not believe that God made man and woman to be equal in any way. I believe that in every organised institution, there is always a head and an assistant. It doesn’t mean that one should take the other for granted, or disrespect the other. I believe the husband is the head of the home and the wife is an assistant
Have you heard omaotola speak? Her English is superb. Stop trying to look for loopholes in her statement.
justirich: “I don’t believe in gender equality. I do not believe that God made man and woman to be equal in any way.

"My husband is a pilot, I have flown with him several times and I understood that here is a captain and a co-pilot. They are both responsible for the passengers’ lives. But when there is a final decision to make, it is up to the captain to make it. He is more experienced and the one with the responsibility.”
“When there is a quarrel, I usually apologise first. He doesn’t say sorry. Overtime, I have come to realise that it is an ego problem. Even when he knows he is wrong, he will rather do every other thing or buy things for me than say, ‘I’m sorry.’ Fortunately, the ‘sorrys’ are not too many. He is very responsible and more hardworking than me. By God’s grace, we have been able to understand our routine.”
SOLID GOLD.
This is a true woman of substance talking, not the faceless female feminist noisemakers we have all over this forum. She was even able to criticise her husband without sounding insultive.
Op the first step in uniting the black race is what you are doing now...
Education, Education, Education!
We need to educate our brethren on the TRUE history of the black race. Many of them will quickly stand up to criticise you without hesitation and support the white race all for a single loaf of bread. We need to teach them that there is no shame in being black, that our culture was not 'primitive'as the white man thought us. We need to realise that for centuries our bad practices have been sung into our ears to weaken our morale and keep us as physical/mental slaves to obey and follow every whim and caprices of the white race. We need to realise our good practices have been smeared and called primitive to keep us in the dark.
When I encountered a Japanese family in Michigan, you need to see the way they stuck to their culture. No american phonetics, no speaking through their nose, they even invited us to a ceremony where they sat on the mat like thier ancestors! Not like us forming more American than america!
Am not saying the west is bad, am just saying its about time we realised our own uniqueness and self worth.
TheNaijan: Well--As I said it's my research-- and I do get attention from girls because of my body... so I know as I guy even when I get older -I should workout often(be in shape)... And I never said pot belly is good and their is nothing like ''dad smell''--but there is something like a man not taking good care of himself [/b]because he is so tied up with work and family issues...No thanks to.... And I've met a couple of attractive girls(white ones) #Model standards #NoBragging or #ValidationSeeking ...All I had to do was [b]talk to them and.... But I am more focused on how to make money while I balance everything else...
Bros no need to explain we all know u spoke the truth, them online feminists just want to twist your words and start an e-fight as usual.
obongproff: I dont know if ur a bros or a sis. But I throw way cap for you oh. D bros way I even comment on in mata neva attack me like you sef, now u want become minister of wahala over a trivial issue abi?
No wahala! Oya enjoy ya ministry!
Phema is another female posing as a male, read his/her posts carefully
gidjah: ONLY MARRIED peeps o,for me ,i am a bit on d low side,my libido is low,though i wish i can increase my speed and gear so i can be tough and stay long, but for where? hubby is a kinda opp ,she is too much for bro,but i can say we are compatible on d average ,even though i seem not ever to meet up wit her power and speed.i hav never complained about that to her,since she is not weired,i kinda love her style
Your wife is your husband? Or you forgot for a moment that you are posing on Nairaland as a male, madam?
I still believe the truth is that many of these ladies did not read what the op wrote and it is evident by their answers(or dodging the questions as the case may be). The just glanced at the thread and saw:
African man
Respect
And their eyes turned red like Apollo and they started insulting the op.
Women what do you want? To kill the OP Why do you want to do it? We don't know
Recognise that not every westernised idea or norm is good for the longevity of an African relationship · Respect your man, respect his African values · Don’t rubbish African culture for the sake of feminism · Know or learn what being an African man is all about · Recognise that a woman living alone for a long concerted time reduces a woman’s compatibility with a proper African man · Don’t puncture his balloon just to get even or drag him down · Don’t be hateful, spiteful or seek revenge · Be forgiving, Don’t be mean and Don’t be wicked
aisha2: Most of the men i know about 70 percent put thier families first and dont go acting like babies who need 24 hours watching.
Being a man in Africa especially Nigeria is not easy abeg. Traffic, work, and family i also hail those who keep it all together and their sanity. No light, no water, poor security etc. Yet they work hard to keep it all together. These men are different from those published on that list who are made to look like spoilt helpless babies, we are adults, we make choices and live with the consequences. Having a home is a choice, men have responsibility and women have responsibility, men should love their wives unconditionally and protect them just as Christ did for us.
Women should submit to that love and not take it for granted. Being a head is not just about benefits but about responsibility, if it goes well the head takes the glory if it goes bad head takes the blame but what we do these days ia just highlight benefits of headship then lay the responsibility of making a marriage work on the womans feet.
I have seen so many changes in recent years, African men moving from what has been the norm, before it was a taboo for a man to be seen near the kitchen these days its even a thing of pride as they show off on social media. I have so many male friends who now write wills as soon as they marry or have kids, i see men shopping for thier families and carrying kids which if it was years ago the men would be asked to go for deliverance from his wifes juju.
I gre up with a great father who supported my mom by raising us while she was at the peak of her career, i have seen my in laws sacrfice so much for their wives and kids even when their wives may be far from perfect and i have a husband who has literally laid his life down for me. Just After we met i feel ill, it wasnt moi moi sickness, one would expect a man just getting to know a woman to run after all we were not even that serious then but the level and extent he went to keep me healthy and alive still shocks me.
Hence i have a problem with a list that presents men to young impressionable young men and women as almost senseless babies to be waited on hands on foot before they can give you any love or respect.
You still haven't said which of the points you find offensive.
