omoge: Trust me, i went to the market with my mom all the time as a little boy. I did most of the shopping for an aunt i lived with for about 2 yrs so i fully understand what it is to go shopping with a wife or girlfriend. Its just hilarious anytime i see threads like these claiming Nigerian men are insensitive and lazy . . . if Chiogo had just put "some" before the words "Nigerian men", none of us would have bothered. Some men are culturally sensitive and wont even go shopping with their wives . . . my dad is a primary example! But there are plenty of men too who are willing to get down on their hands and knees and help their woman out. chiogo: Its not my fault. Nigerian men too are sensitive when people generalize about them being lazy. |

i am really tired of listening or reading about Nigerian women complain about Nigerian men; it is not by force, marry a non Nigerian guy and end your delusions. |

Nigerian men are lazy because Nigerian women don't appreciate a good hardworking man ! They'd rather run after yahoo boys or the politicians ! Average Nigerian woman does not know that there is plenty of love and values in the heart of a black man. All they do is call love "yeye" and run after some putt-bellied, Gorilla-looking politician. Awon Omo onisekuse ! |

Why the generalisation? |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by teetee2(f): 12:33pm On Nov 12, 2007 |
Not that Nigerian men are lazy, it is due to our culture/belief that men could only do dat under an influence of juju because our (Nigeria) men staying abroad do carry thief wives bags when go shopping here in Nigeria during holiday without care for any gossip. Even they let their families aware dat wives are not met to be slave. |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by presido1: 12:44pm On Nov 12, 2007 |
When them 9ja women call their husband Oga how will they expect their Oga to carry their bag. Oga and servant goes hand in hand. Anybody that call somebody Oga must be that persons servant. |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by aseda(m): 1:06pm On Nov 12, 2007 |
In a proper African setting.The man is at liberty to choose exactly where to assist in the household chores BUT what is most important is for him to provide MONEY for the shopping. Anything less,he's not a Naija man. |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by Bblak(f): 1:23pm On Nov 12, 2007 |
Not all of them but majority are highly insensitive.The Egoism thing u know |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by londoner: 1:27pm On Nov 12, 2007 |
Interesting, and what if the lady has enough money for shopping, ie because she has a well paying job? I remember staying with one of my Aunts in the states, they have three small children. My aunt was at work and the daughters hair needed combing, instead of just combing the hair, it was left by her husband, simply because it wasn't appropriate for a man to do. I thought it was so silly, why not just comb your own daughters hair if it needed it? Instead he would rather go out with her hair unkempt. Why should that be a measure of manhood? What about fatherhood? I just dont get it, lol |

It is sad to still realise that some fellas here still generalize personal issues or individual behaviour, when it is actually meant to be separated. First and foremost I stand to say that it is an understatement to say Nigerian men are insensitive. The fact that only one has behaved like a monkey does not make all others the same. Even in Nigeria we see a lot of men who help their wives in the day to day activity. londoner:From this I beleive you know it deep in you that not all Nigerian fathers will behave like your inlaw. As for me I am a guy, though not married but I weave hair for my little nieces because I am good in the art, in fact a couple of my inlaws learnt how to make different hair-do through me, DO YOU EXPECT ME TO NOW WAIT FOR MY WIFE TO COME AND DO SIMPLE COMBING ON A CHILDS HAIR LATER IN FUTURE? In summary this has to do with individual differences , it should not be generalised. pppplllllzzzzzzzz |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by londoner: 2:12pm On Nov 12, 2007 |
@ Richylaw, I am well aware that some men help with domestic things, this was one example. How many Nigerian men braid their daughters hair though I wonder, let alone combing it? I think its very good that you do that, but If you tell your Nigerian friends that you braid hair, what is their reaction? |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by amaikama(m): 3:06pm On Nov 12, 2007 |
what the heck if my wife carry the shopping home while am with her? does that make me irresponsible, lazy or don't love her? its possible am not in good health and just decide to follow her to the mall for some fresh air. |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by londoner: 3:14pm On Nov 12, 2007 |
Well, I dont think people would be complaining if the guy is sick and could not carry bags. What do you think about someone who is in full health and does not offer to carry some bags, even if not all of them? Even if you met a male friend in the street carrying lots of bags bags, would you not offer to carry some? Let alone your own wife. Enough with the excuses fellas, lol |

Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by Nobody: 7:24am On Nov 13, 2007 |
Haba! African women, becos we don't carry shooping bag or push buggie now we are lazy. You can call us any name under the sun, i thought what a man can do a woman can do better. So all this shout about woman empowerment( i think we are all equal). You want the men to: pay for the shopping, push the buggie, push the trolley, open the car door for u, pack all the shopping in the car, put the children in the car sit and perform at nite Haba!!!!!! |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Lazy Or Just Completely Insensitive? by moondust(m): 9:03am On Nov 13, 2007 |
I wonder if there's anything that women don't want men to do for them these days. . .he's supposed to clothe u, feed u, carry the baby, do the dishes, cook, and carry all the baggage, if not he doesn't love u. . .what manipulation. yet the only thing they actually want to do for themselves is compete with men, status wise. . .good goin! |
