How can I be stuck with one woman all my life and why should I?? Think about it! When there are asses of different sizes,so many other kissable gals etc with figure 8. Think about it!


Lol.. You dont mean it.. Well that's your choice and every man his... As I said earlier, as long as both of you are on the same page with same idea and ideology, all well and good with both of you.

The reliance on anecdotes is scary.

I know someone whose relationship ended because the guy's mom "didn't like people from her state". When I asked why, they said the moms ex was from that state. Same tribe o.

So, in order not to loose everything, marrying a woman and leaving her in Nigeria all but guarantees it won't happen again, right? undecided

Then what happens when the woman is the breadwinner, as is sometimes the case?

Kobojunkie:
You say this because the marriage laws in Nigeria allowed for the "Nigerian" kind of marriage which basically leaves a woman at the mercy of the man and "breadwinner" right? undecided

How many of such cases do you know of that have ended in divorce or the woman abandoning the marriage, this in Nigeria? And how did it go? I ask because I don't know of many such marriages, myself. undecided

Where is the black paint. Between men and women, who paints who black. Go through the post and read comments from male. They don't even want to consider the fact that the way they treat women determines if the woman stays or not. And the way they treat women here is not the same way they would treat them abroad because most men here don't even see their wives as humans.
And even here women who are independent might not take what a woman who doesn't have any personal account would take and the men will call that submissiveness. We always forget that submissiveness is a reaction to the love the man shows to her. The love of the husband comes first before submission. Christians here can go back to their Bible. No normal woman who is treated like a wife will leave the husband.
ma ,sorry to say this since I was a kid till now In which I am an adult,your gender will prefer to pick a tout,a gangster,a hot tempered man to a cool headed person or a boring guy ,,,the term boring is what most of your female friends use ,am not trying to Insult you or anyone but that's what we male have come to notice ,,and you can't generalize the whole stuff because one one or one gangster beat up a lady ,then all Nigeria men are the same ,when the ones whom you call boring are ready to listen to you but you don't pick them instead you go for the happening guys

So you are saying since when you were a child up till now you have never seen my gender that prefers a cold headed man? So who those all those ladies settling for cold headed men or are you saying all married men were either gangstas before they married or changed to gangstas after they got a wife so as to keep the marriage?
Also, are you saying now that the reason you are confused about where to get a wife is because your are not a gangstas or you are too weak to be a man and so no woman will be willing to marry you and for that you are confused? Are you a boring man looking for a woman that will accept you? Or you just feel like telling me that ladies are all mad and don't know the difference a gangsta, a real man and a weakling?
Can you please give me the reason why guys too prefer slay "queens" and those who tax them alot to those who believe that taxing aan will burden him so much and he will run away? Can tell.me why men spend more on their side chicks than on their wives? Can you tell.me why men look down on ladies who are struggling to take care of themselves and go for those who who prefer a parasitic life with men being their host?
Did your sisters and all the ladies in your family and the females you have ever known marry gangstas and if not why since women are so silly they all want hot tempered men?
Please answer my questions.

Please I need an honest opinion. I’m not saying there’re no good women. But the rate at which women who marry their abroad hubbys and thereafter go to join them overseas and start misbehaving gets me very worried and sometimes afraid. The question is

1. How often does this happen?
2. Should a guy go on to take his chances?
3. Should he marry someone already abroad?
4. Should he settle entirely with another Nationality totally?

Guys make una input o make we know where we Dey.

A good woman is a good woman. If you know your woman very well and trust her, then go ahead. 

I've lived in the Netherlands for many years. I believe people divorce more often in Nigeria than abroad.

I don't know many divorced couples to start with.

I do know many families where the wife outearns the husband though. Sometimes just a little, sometimes significantly.

Only one of them was/is rocky but more due to their personality than income difference.

Recall the topic here, or at least my claim was that Nigerian marriages" working in Nigeria because the laws in Nigeria allow it. You brought up cases where the female sit instead as breadwinner and I am wondering at this point how that fits in with the topic we are on. undecided

Dude just don't marry your enemy. Don't form passions and romance when your face to face with your enemy. Your worst enemy can be disguised in the exact type of woman you lust after so passionately...but one taste of her could be worse than downing a barrel of hemlock!

I have lived abroad for quite a while and I can tell you that's not always the case with couples that relocate abroad or wife sponsored abroad..most of my folks here are all married and I get to see things. Some women are good and some are bad and you dont want to be unfortunate to bring a pretending bad woman as wife

However you still see cases where a wife is sponsored abroad becomes a total disaster making the guy regret his decision to spend heavy to bring his wife over..but why is this the case.
1. A number of 9ja women pretend heavy in Nigeria once she comes abroad and see that the system favours women, once she joins bad friends and starts listening to them and her mom more than her husband..the marriage is on the way to disaster as she takes advantage of the system even more than than white women

2. The average 9ja girl has the inherent trait to be selfish and self entitled and relocating abroad doesn't change that rubbish attitude,however the way abroad is designed is best optimized when 2 couples are jointly working together with all sincerity of purpose, rather you will see them refuse to contribute like the environment demands yet she will still fail in her duties as a wife..before you know resentment is building..then tension then abuses if not controlled police gets involved before you know marriage don scatter.

When you marry a wife, do you feel you own her more than she owns you?

You have no right to keep a woman where you want her to stay, while you stay faraway for long.
It is unfair and ungodly.

The system over there favours them and don't give a bleep about you. She is aware of that and takes it to frustrate your life .

The beginning may be sweet because she is just adjusting. But bro is a time of matter timt u go hear am.

most african women's behavour once abroad is based on two things

1 the behaviour after qetting a good job and stable financially is due to the environment that raised her aka most saw their mother's being abused financially and emotionally by their fathers simply becoz the fathers were the providers aka breadwinners and abused the role . So when the women come abroad take opportunites that are not there in their countries they better themselves became nurses etc. meanwhile some men are stuck in the past saying i was a bank manager in nigeria i cant be security gaurd in UK etc their are stuck in the past while women grab every opportuniy. now tables have changed wife is eg a nurse earning more then hubby and she that recentment how women are treated back home etc now she become like men back home, anything she wants she goes for it becoz she has the financial muscle to do it, hubby cries my woman has changed etc, yes she has becoz 1 she grab opportunity 2 the recentment from the environment she grow up
I haven been in UK for 20 years and i have never personally came across a nigerian male nurse, i i dont know but i guess few take the opportunity to be one but i have seen lots of zimbabwean who are male nurse they took the opportunity, it might not be the best job in the world but it can make give a
stable income etc


2 Men are stuck in the past they want to have upper hand they used to have back home, becoz the environment allowed it aka 1 most abused the breadwinner role 2 culturally and tradition even instituation favoured men eg wife goes to report to police that she has been beaten officer advise you to call the elders to talk, etc a men can just kicked the wife out the house you built together and he can get away with it, whereas the western world does not tolerate that, hence a small thing wife abuses the western world laws becoz she was raised i environment that abuse women from in-laws tradition, culture and the institutions etc, now men gets shocked as if they were nice people back home. Now men feel like they lost control and come up with excuses of the western world etc whereas we build that anger in those women

Am not saying women who does all that are right am just saying their are product of how they saw their mothers being treated. If we changed how we treat these women back home etc, They wont change much unless the woman is just a nutter

As men lets look into how we have damaged those women using whatever mean that favours men

Too much talk about this....why are you particularly scared of marrying a woman in a liberated world or taking a woman from here to a liberated world? People who are reasonable on both sides shouldnt be scared of anything...just be good people and find yourselves good people....EOD.

Good people usually end up with bad people.
Good girls end up with bad boys
Good men end up with bad women.

What is wrong in cooking for your family? Forgive me, I find arguments like this mundane and irrelevant. Sadly it is what has become the order of the day when marriage is discussed. It shows there is something wrong with us as a people. Both male and female.

You were cooking in Nigeria, suddenly cooking is below you because you are abroad? There are bound to be issues.

Ordinarily, both parties should be helping each other. Domestically and financially, but when one person thinks chores are below him or assisting financially would make her a mumu, wahala done dey. Nigerians play too many mind games and relationships with them wears someone like me out.

You might not cook 7 days a week, but I believe a good husband, be it in Nigeria or Cambodia, should know when his wife has done her best and deserves some rest. On such days she should get her rest.

If her husband is not dicking her and he is making no effort to improve, she can leave the marriage with her dignity and value intact.

No adult abroad has time to even sit and eat three times a day. There are more pressing issues and Nigerian men and women should begin to upgrade their OS. We are too backward in our issues.
