It was an empty seat. You cannot lay the blame on the men who saw empty seats and decided to occupy it. The ladies could have expressed their interest to the ushers and even at that the ushers still have the responsibility to either relocate the men or the women. It is not the right of the women to claim seats in an event where they are guests. Bush people should learn etiquette. If I was the host I will throw the ladies out too.
You make sense. The empty seat was a PUBLIC SEAT & not designated to anybody.

Entitlement mentality has clouded their social etiquette.

How it happens in saner climes is that the ladies would have approached the host or an usher to help them secure their seats. Or get the hell out of the party and get a new chair when they return. The narrator in question owes nobody any explanations

It's called social duty...unwritten but key in society, like social trust. Both elements of which are completely missing in naija. So it's just crabs in a barrel, atavisitic/regressive behaviour. Which leads to CHAOS.

You care too much about what others think of you. It is okay to be self-aware but the right thing to do is to avoid a retaliation or an escalation of the drama, and report her to a higher authority. You can go to the police station and make a complaint.



This nockmedia is a female moniker that's how girls talk, they talk like people that don't av sense of reasoning at all or they are just so entitled and just chose to be men haters at every opportunity otherwise i dont see y a man would be talking this nonsense at the context of this situation, av u ever been bullied by bitter misandrist, men haters and witches coven feminist girls b4 like Kiki mordi that falsely attacking dbanj, they are so annoying that even if u want t leave, they would drag u back and tear ur shirt, that is enough to make any gentleman deeply aggravated, y didn't the girl go and report to the higher authority or lay a complaint to the police station in d first place, that would have stopped this whole frenzy from escalating!

Women are bad at consequential thinking. They don't think or care about consequences. They just act as animals unlike men who are logical and think things thoroughly before they act.

Look at how men, through thinking, created partriachy, how they structured society and created a system where men have to sacrifice their own lives to protect and be responsible for women.

Now that women have their voices heard run society alongside men, do they look like they care about men even though it is the same men who protects women?
If men pulled out of the police, army, Do women look like they can protect themselves from goats, dogs and monkeys?

No, they don't care about consequences.

When a woman hits a man, the man owes it to humanity to correct her thinking. By beating her so hard to the point that next time she wants to hit a man, She'll think of the consequences.


That is how I treat women. This is not about hating women. forcing

So if a pregnant and old woman behaves the same way the girls did, you won't react? May I know your reasons?

And please don't tell me because they are old or pregnant, because those girls in the story might be suffering from a disease which could cause them to collapse if you all your hands on them.

The same way you will restrain yourself with a pregnant woman, learn to restrain yourself with a woman.

The girls were at fault. I'm not going to take their side b/c they're females. They were 100% in the wrong.

1. Them leaving their seats made them available to anyone else, which is what happens in public settings involving seatings. Unless their names were on the chairs, they should've accepted that the seats were no longer theirs once they got up.

2. The physical assault [which is what it is] was started by one of them who threw juice on his face. I don't blame him for retaliating by pouring a can of whatever on her b/c anyone would've done the same thing in that moment. In fact, another dude would've likely hit her after this but he simply did the same thing she did to him, which I'm not going to blame him for at all.

3. The physical assault was further continued by her when she grabbed him and tore his skin w/ her nails, which again, made him retaliate and which I can't blame him for b/c she had gone too far.


Clearly, the girls felt somewhat entitled and Idk why. They were wrong on all three counts.

bro, that seat was not meant for them alone it was meant everybody including the guys. Standing up would offset the balance of equality
how can you want to claim a right and defend equality with fools? Do you think everyone who shouts equality, feminism are okay? If it was a mad woman dressed in rags and looking dirty with a cane in her hand, would you go on to fight because you want to debate equality? The message is simple, when a woman who looks normal start saying and doing things a madwoman would say and do, leave her alone. She is only close to her valley.

I understand you better. Even if the ladies left the sits and returned home permanently, no one should sit on it because those girls are world presidents.
As you know yourself, it's an event. So the moment you left your sit without leaving anyone to guard it for you, just know your sit might be taken or changed to another place before you came back since it's not a reserved sit for a special guest.

It's common sense.
They are feeling entitled because of a PUBLIC SEAT.

Today, I attended a wedding ceremony. At the reception, the couple tried to maintain social distancing inside the reception hall, so there were limited seats. Most of the guests were in the open field outside. I sat behind two ladies, who should be in their mid or late twenties. I wasn't really paying much attention to them.

After a while, they left their seat and went out. After about 5 minutes two guys came, and sat down in the empty seats the ladies left. These guy are obviously in their early twenties.

About 30 minutes later, the two girls came back inside, I noticed that one of them has had a change of cloths. So obviously they went home and returned.

The girls demanded that the guys should leave the seat, because they got there first. It is their seat. As expected the guys bluntly refused. The girls started raising their voice and cursing. No one really cared to listen to them, the boys were busy consuming the drinks on the table.

One of the ladies got frustrated by the indifference of the boys, grabbed a glass of juice from the table and threw the content at the guy's face. The guy in turn opened the entire can, got up and started pouring it on the girl's head, ruining her make up and soaking her weavon.

Next thing we saw, the girl grabbed him by the collar with both hands, tearing at his skin with her nails. Before you could say Jack, the guy started raining down slaps on her face, she fought back too.

Before we could rush down, the girl had a bleeding nose and a red swollen face.

Now this is the part that particular offended me. Everyone that gathered round started heaping insult on the boy for beating up a girl, despite the fact that she initiated physical contact. Some women even went as far as threatening to arrest the boy. The entire narrative changed quickly. Some stupid men even tried to beat up the boys. I stood my ground and insisted that if anybody lays a finger on the boy, I ll see to it that everybody is kicked out of the reception.

It took the intervention of the officiating minister to calm the crowd. Everyone was insisting that he would pay for the girl's medical bills. Funny thing is that the guy had finger marks all over his neck. She was sobbing and attracting sympathy left and right, as if she was not the one barking like an animal moments earlier. In the end, it was the guys that were kicked out, the girls had the seat.

I get confused about this gender equality stuff, women want to be treated like men and treated differently at the same time. You can't claim equality only when it suits you. If it were two guys fighting, I'm sure they ll both be kicked out and nobody will spare a thought for the injured, there ll be no sobbing or comforting, it ll just be seen as two people disturbing the peace. But everyone is suddenly acting up to protect an equal specie, who is also the offender, and the females see nothing wrong in this inequality

Do you want equality or not?
Personally I respect and treat everyone equally, but if you initiate physical contact, male or female I will retaliate with the same ferocity.

30 naira sense is all I see!

That's why feminism is DOA in Africa too...

And trust me, the guys in question were people of no Importance.


Yes, it's DOA and it's better for everyone. What the girls did was terrible. But after emptying the juice on her, what happened to hold her down with his hands rather than slapping and blowing her. What if she collapsed and died? We should all learn self control. Put your reputation first. Look at how they were thrown out of the wedding like dogs. Something they could have avoided.

I've experienced a similar situation during my nysc where a female teacher asked me to stand up from a chair that she was formerly sitting. She was rude about it too. Looking at her physically, I knew I could beat the shit out of her. But to what end? It was a school, the children were there, the teachers were there. I couldn't portray such bad behavior. What did I do? I talked to her calmly. I told her I'm sorry for sitting on her seat, and that I'm busy right now, she should give me some time. She smiled and said ok. She went and looked for another seat.

This same lady fought with the proprietor some months later, and guess what, one of the corpers was advising the proprietor and sited what happened between me and the girl in the past and how I did not retaliate. I was used as a good example.

See, you need to learn the act of mediation. Life is not all about war. Know when to jaw to get the best out of life. Don't deprive yourself of good things because you don't want to be seen as a simp. People are watching.

Look at this guy telling the story, why didn't he intervene? He just sat there watching. If that guy had hit that girl in a spot and she died, he would still stupidly come and tell us the sad story.

If those guys had not acted indifferently and had just spoken calmly to the girls, they would have found another seat. Everyone would have enjoyed the wedding. People need to learn how to be the bigger person. However, humility is not for the weak.

A small girl, a school leaver, demanded that i leave my seat at NIMC Alausa, Ikeja, because she was there earlier before she went somewhere. When I got there, no bag or anything was on it and nobody told me someone was there.
So I refused.

She and her friends insulted me and mocked me. She threatened to call her military uncle and I told her I would wait for him.

That girl is simply cursed. I'm not sure anything good can come out of her life.

Children of these days are uncouth and lack home training, especially the girls. The agbayas forming feminists probably raised them alone hence the unleashed societal terrorists we've been hearing on news lately and high rate of divorce also.
