pocohantas:Good thing you know your onions on cars, who knows someone like me might have been misinformed sha. but it's how they generalize and think every woman the same that should be worked on. Lol he should go and do his research although I doubt he would be back to tell you you are right. ; Nigerian men are loud, U-35 guys talk too much. Just a little discovery they start shouting up and down , something men of other nations have moved on from. I'm still shocked to know all the grammar is about "change over" . And who are the ladies that date these kids who don't think twice to throw women under the bus for simple flaws? 🤷 This isn't even a flaw, she wasn't trained for it. 4 Likes 1 Share |

pocohantas:my mum or dad didn't teach me some of the things I know now, for example when I was small if the person that do service our gen comes around, I use to observe him. Also I guys are more curious when it comes to technology stuff than girls. If they buy toy car for us then most of us will destroy it and want to see what is making it move and even try to recreate what we see,, but females don't just like things like that. |

Persephone1: Na why I like ancestors be this. Do your part as a woman, they do their own as a man. No time for nonsense talk. I can't imagine losing my man and having to deal with these talkatives. Which one be say you sabi cook? I tell you to cook? Instead make you go hustle, you wan dey house dey cook for me. The number of times I have shown my man how to do some things considered feminine and e still no do am. Na me teach am how to cook good meals when we started. It as simple as showing them. No be everything suppose start fight. The moment a man starts whining about how he can cook, my sister just block am. He is akin to a woman that whines about providing for herself. You can hardly get good masculine/feminine energy from them. Everytime chochocho. Na them dey ask what are you bringing to the table. You can never please them. Just BLOCK and find you a man that doesn't expect you to drive an armour tank. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Nigerian men themselves are not tech savvy. That is why we don't really have hardware stores the way you do in the West. Also why there is so much fraud/misrepresentation in sales of items. Also why 99% of house repairs are directly outsourced to artisans and not handled by 'tech savvy' Nigerian men How many of the self described tech savvy men have toolboxes in their homes? Or spare boxes of nails clips, wires, etc? Let us not lie to ourselves. Even our artisans are not particularly smart - which is why they trial and error rather than diagnose. I have had some convos with self described experts who are too mentally lazy to even research a problem. Yesterday I had a heated argument with my generator guy who was rethreading a part of the gen for the third time. I asked him if he was using the right spec of pipe, if the thread kept wearing out every two weeks. Let us not over lie to ourselves 8 Likes 3 Shares |

pocohantas:I tried so much not to respond to you sha but the things you said here compelled me to do so, now let me use myself as an example. I love technology so much, but at the same time I also love doing so of the things you girls do such as: playing with kids, doing house chores, cooking and all that. I'm that kind of person who feels one should learn to do everything he can possibly do because you don't really know when you might be in need of one. So I believe it's all about teaching the other person, do you know one of the things that influenced my decision not to be involved in an 8-5 job is just so that I could have enough time with my wife and kids? Although I'm not even married yet but I already feel this is very important. The world is changing, no trend stays the same forever. If your man doesn't know how to cook buy him tutorial books or YouTube videos that teaches it. You won't always be around to take care of him and the kids. |

Hire them and promote them. I had one manager that was particularly comfortable around women. He hired 4 female engineers in a group of 12 engineers. I have never in my life worked with 3 other female engineers, even in much larger groups, because there are always so few women. So it was really cool to be around all these smart women. He just did it. No hoopla. No "Oh that might be a stretch for us". No "We just can't find good women". No "Well, we want someone like her, but just not her." No worries that management might frown upon it or at least comment how unusual it was or tease him or make inappropriate comments or other employees might strongly object. This guy was a VP, so he quite definitely had more power than a regular manager. He found good women. He hired them. Done. It really did not look hard at all. 4 Likes |

I can see this beautiful thread that tends to voice out gender imbalance in simple survival home skills in terms of technical know how has been hijacked by nairaland feminists. Fortunately, we still have the few wife materials here who agreed with the op that it's true that some women are clueless in technology but the multiple body count, heartbroken and evening newspaper feminists will always display themselves at any little opportunity 1 Like |

Sixfeetbelle:My sister… I do not understand what you mean by it being a man’s job. I am even more confused by you saying the minute it stops being a man’s job. Like there is some law prohibiting women from doing it? I mean this is the age of feminism, gender equality e.t.c the least women can do is change a bulb or put on the generator when there is power out age. Now I am not for all the gender war and all… I think it’s weird. What I am saying is that these things might be deeper than what it really is on the surface. Not just gender role playing! 1 Like 1 Share |

23jerryking: I am genuinely impressed by your home skills, but I am not fixated on them as a DAILY EXPECTATION from my man. I think I have been quite upfront about this on Nairaland. If I am not around, you can do it for survival. If I am tired, you can help. However, it is not something you would use to block my ears and start expecting more from me. I am afraid I can't give you MORE. No be me send you to wash plate and fry plantain. If you can do it without whining, perfect. But I have never seen one man or woman that does more of their partner's duty without whining or becoming TOXIC. 3 Likes 1 Share |

pocohantas:Stop that imagination biko, it's not easy out there o . May we not move from " where should we settle " to "what are you putting on" 😄😄 It's nice when a traditional man meets a traditional woman without any trying to"change" the other. And when two modern people who are not bothered with swapping roles meet, it is great too. The goal is to be on the same page and make life better for each other. Naturally I don't like people who talk a lot much while I may excuse it in women it is a complete turn off for me when a guy talks or complain too much . I can't last a moment with a nag, my friends knows once I sigh and ask "what do you want" it means I am a minute away from shutting them out. . Na why I dey fear settling down with all these guys wey go dey chochocho everytime. These ones will frustrate someone, nah them type dey do surveillance for meat inside pot. I can't deal .

pocohantas:You mean am? I really don't see the need whinning over anything honestly. You're a helpmeet for crying out loud, I think Africans generally have this issue. A man helps collect water or bath the kids for his tired wife and the next thing Nigerians would say is "he's in the wife's pocket". This is absolute rubbish as far as am concerned. 1 Like 1 Share |

kkins25:Ermmmm It's not a crime nah is it? 🤷 Anyone who is genuinely curious as to why an occurrence happens will do a self question and answer then research. If the question remain unanswered then he or she can throw it out to the public in a non provocative manner. This is how objective topics and sane deliberations are made. If op had settle to answer the topic himself, he would have realized the simple answer which is Africans didn't manufacture his beloved bulbs, change over and other electrical jargons. When these things came in, men were made to learn about and use them first. A sane mind would go further to examine what goes on in homes where these "Nigerian ladies" are raise. I believe op is part of a family , he should know some things are peculiar with male and female children. But no! Like the ever shallow lots they are , he's here degrading women at large. I know two men that can't kill a fowl but I can, does that make them less ? No. They just can't handle it. Should I go on to create a thread that Nigerian men are not "butchering savvy" . Personal Interest plays a role too. Can you knit,bead or style hair?Do we have men good at this? Yes . There are popular male gele stylist and make up artist who are cashing out big in Lagos. Even though it is a woman's craft but men learnt it and they are earning big from it. Op and his ilks should let women be. If he teach him babe how to change over, she won't stay in the dark next time. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
