caukerzee: ;DThat's the oldest trick in the book used for dodging arguments. Like seriously hmm.. you have issues. me, i'm a feminist for life. Why do you feel threatened? everyone is entitled to their ideology whether na christianity abi islam abi conservative, liberal, feminist, vegeterian or pagan. 4 real. although I think everyone should be feminist. all men included we should all be feminist. I don't "feel" oppressed. But I do believe that things could be much better for women in this world. I read a lot so I know how things were, how things are, and how things could be. if you want to start an anti-women campaign. u r free to do so. start by joining senator yerima in forcing little girls into marriage. instead of providing education and a future for them. 1 Like |
Business / Re: Financial Tips For Young Adults by Arialbold: 1:44am On Jan 08, 2014 |
I see so many young men working hard just to ensure a future for themselves and being a young adult (at heart) I felt the need to spread this word. same applies to young women as well. all young adults (male and female) need good financial habits. |

ItsModella1: ok good for you. Like I said, I won't knock on people who wear bantu knots either. 10 yrs ago, even the sight of 4b natural hair in any form would be ridiculed (whether it is bantu knot out or twist out or whatever). we have come a long way and we need to continue going forward. |

Which kain "Simbi goes to school" hairstyle she dey put on sef? Like say na only her get natural hair. let her do her. bantu knots look more ridiculous to me actually. yet it's popular. I will do threading before I put bantu knots in my hair. Yet I will never knock down anyone who wears bantu knot. They are brave for doing so and I applaud them. |

^ hater this woman ain't playing. Too fierce for words!!! I persoally prerfer threading to brazillian weaves. Men are typically hypocrites. at the end of the day all they want is to ruin women's self esteem. They are mad that women are going natural and gaining confidence in their own hair. [img]http://ionenewsone.files./2013/04/ngozi-cropped.jpg[/img] “It’s only Black women for whom an entire industry exists, which is geared toward specifically making sure that the hair that grows on their head looks different,” she said. “I want natural black hair to be an equally valid option, not something interesting, not something you do when you’re a jazz musician, but something you can do when you’re a lawyer in a fancy firm in New York City or if you’re a politician in Abuja,” Nigeria’s capital. That, however, still remains a challenge. Adichie acknowledged it herself by pausing, and then adding: “My mother doesn’t like my hair like that. She is still praying.” |

I love it!! This woman amazes me everyday!! Natural hair is gaining popularity among black women today because a few women decided to do it and be ridiculed for it. We need the few brave ones to start out the trend. then eventually, others will join the band wagon and it will no longer look odd. well, we won't be seeing Chimamanda in brazillian weaves anytime soon [img]http://2.bp..com/--dC2fXoIQ4c/UmpZGopVd_I/AAAAAAAAE0E/nhGXKmlrfsU/s1600/BFI-London-Film-Festival-Premiere-of-Half-of-a-Yellow-Sun-October-2013-BellaNaija020-400x600.jpg[/img] [img]http://1.bp..com/-JND4ymCmVWc/UZvLeMOHHhI/AAAAAAAAU7w/owKm6uDYqCk/s1600/chimanda+adichie.jpg[/img] 2 Likes |

POPE II: M0r0n so racism is justified lwkmd, and how many black American do what you said? Brainwashed coon, uncle tom tell us more about how racism is good and justified because some people didn't respect theaw ? Meanwhile divorce more of a white thing in the USA because the rate of marriage is low among black Americans next time before spewing rubbish do your homework or better get educated. As if white always pay child support. Fcking primitive slave fool, nobody said racism was justified. racism is a feeling of superiority of one race over another. just as sexism is the feeling of superiority of one sex or gender over another. if blacks are economically and socially inferior. REALITY. It is understandable that whites, asians etc will feel superior to blacks in general. just as many men feel superior to women esp. in a country like Nigeria.where even a whole notable scholar like Wole Soyinka is known to refer to women as "mere domestic appendages." A woman ought not to be a mere domestic appendage in the home. She needs an independent source of sustenance and needs to create a future for herself outside of the home in case of unforeseen problems like divorce so she can be ready for it. Based on my former job, I can say without a doubt that our white clients were WAY more likely to have all their papers (and that include child and spousal supports) in order than blacks are. where do you think the term "deadbeat dad" comes from? and why do you think its more popular in "black american" culture? you need to check your facts because divorce is actually HIGHER among blacks in USA. blacks have the highest rate of divorce which makes it sad because they also have low marriage rates. It is a huge FAILURE all around. I love how you conveniently ignored the part of my post about personal responsibility. The reason alimony and child support exists in civilized nations is to relieve tax payer burden. A place like Nigeria without a functioning legal system, has neither! 1 Like |

bukatyne: you have a right to believe what you want. Next time you get a job, get pregnant, and your boss doesn't fire you for being pregnant. Thank the feminists who fought for the rights for employees not to discriminate against mothers in the work place. There used to be a time when only single, unmarried women could have jobs. and if you got pregnant you were fired. no such thing as maternity leave that allowed you to come back after childbirth. is that also an entitlement? letting women take time off for maternity leave? letting women past age 30yr old be allowed to work instead of being a proper housewife. If you see female civil servants, there was once a time when those women had to fight to be equally recognized. things we take for granted today. keep running your mouth while you benefit from everything feminists fought for us to achieve thinking you earned it yourself. 2 Likes |

shoboy9: It is "there is neither male nor female in christ". Everyone should learn to work. If u choose to leave ur husband then leave his property for him. Go and work! Too many women are being raised to be materialistic and lazy. A worse combination to make one into a thief and a parasite i cannot imagine. This of course is the reason behind the problem that nobody is talking about. A man doesn't have the sole right to be the breadwinner in the home. If there are more female breadwinners, this problem will not affect women disproportionately. This is why I support feminism. Even a single mother will not have this kind of problem. because she will have a job at least and not depend on any man. we like to talk about how "low" divorce rates are in naija when in reality many women are staying in torturous or loveless marriages so that they will "save face" not become beggars on the street. There should be a way to do more for women. At least a man can throw his wife out of his home when he is no longer interested or pretend she doesn't exist while he carries on a relationship elsewhere. women almost always have to endure. If they divorce, they become the subject of what this thread is about. there is no safety net for them unless they find a source of stable income or can find another man right away. It is that period in between that is very dangerous. 1 Like |

The mistake OP made is that he is comparing civilized people to uncivilized people. Even in America and UK, majority of the black population DO NOT pay their divorced spouse child support (I witnessed this first hand in my former job where we will always have to recommend our black male clients to lawyers because majority of them owe child support and therefore do not qualify for our services. they are always looking for ways to skirt the law not realizing that it will follow them to their graves). There is a sub-population in developed countries that comprise of black people who behave just as if they are in a third world country. This is the reason why racism exists. Racism by definition is the belief of superiority of a race over another. heck if I were a different race, I would feel superior to the black race as well. At the end of the day, part of the reason the law exists in civilized countries is to reduce the burden on tax payers and government. If you marry a woman and she raised your kids without having a means of financial sustenance for herself. Why should tax payers be d ones removing her from destitution when the blame lies on the dissolution of your marriage. The alterative is to have the government provide for the welfare of these women. In fact, in a place like Nigeria, that may be the only way. Black people in general are not interested at all in taking personal responsibility for anything. we will prefer the "government" to do everything for us after all. So maybe we need the law-makers to create a "women's welfare tax" that will provide income to divorced women for a period of 6 months until they can find a job to sustain themselves without a husband. This will be funded by income tax. 2 Likes |

rman: Only very few women, and I mean, very few, can reason logically. The society didn't place women at a disadvantage position, women did. Ever wonder why the educated and employed ones still depend on men? GBAM. Feminism is the solution to the problem. all the submission and dependence on men will not help her once is is being kicked to the curb. female children are being raised to be dependent on men. to see men as their king and protector. and what if these men don't treat them right? the woman becomes a destitute on d street or resort to selling her body because she has nothing else to sustain herself. in western nations, we are approaching a point where women are the breadwinner in 50% of all households. This is how things should be. I look forward to d day when both men and women will be affected by divorce. instead of women only bearing the financial brunt. |

bigx: good for you. when I said "politician" I am generally referred to the priviledged class that travel in and out of Nigeria as they see fit. These are the same people who tend to speak for other nigerians and pretend that all other nigerians are just as happy to be in Nigeria. and things are fine and dandy. why do you have those visas? why not tear them up if you have no intentions of ever leaving Nigeria? tear those visas up. simple I just looked at your profile and you seem to contradict yourself. your profile picture (of foreign currency being shown off on a platter) contradicts what you say in this post. same with your location. unless birmingham is some village in Nigeria that I don't know about. |

coogar: i'm sure that has more to do with cultural values. ie leaving a loveless or abusive marriage vs choosing to stay in one. not everyone in the UK is a millionaire. although i'm sure you fancy yourself as one. marriage is mostly a middle class institution anyway. the people who are most likely not to conform are upper class and lower class. these are where u will see majority of unmarried couples. Oprah winfrey isn't married either. she just has a lifelong partner. |

Just know that if you don't pay your child support. the govt doesn't forget. they will take the money out of your pension. same with unpaid alimony. that is if you don't end up in jail. same goes for women who owe child support and alimony. |

Snaaz: Its so strange how women rant about this equality thing and tend to throw it away when money is involved. A man has to help you in the kitchen, help you take care of the kids but when after divorce, you want a salary from him for once being his wife. Ladies stop confusing yourselves. Why can't a man be settled by his wife after divorce? Shey you are a woman, the emotionally stronger and more hardworking gender. Pls you can handle the divorce and you can as well go and work for your own money. I will take care of my kids but definitely not a former acquintance cos that's what a divorced wife is to me. of course. ideally if we had gender equality, 50% of families in Nigeria will have a female breadwinner. in case of divorce, the husband will be entitled to alimony. it goes both ways and I support it 100% http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/05/05/grossman.adultery.alimony/ this is the story of a millionaire woman who divorced her husband in USA. the husband got a lot of money in alimony (temporary spousal support) after the divorce |

Have you read Ibn Fadlan's accounts or not? rotflmao. so should I also go and start reading D'banj's account of American civilization too? what exactly is your damn point? what makes Ibn Fadlan such an important "expert" that his opinion should be a gold standard of what a civilization is? abi you are also turning into Coogar? using all these so called "experts" to support your silly arguments. rubbish. Reality speaks. u don't need to quote ibn fadlan (or whaever d nonentity is) for me or any KNOW that America is a more civilized place than Nigeria. maybe you should take Ibn Fadlan's expert essays to Ayefele's band members and millions of other Nigerians who will risk their lives to escape the Nigerian http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/entertainment/316994-yinka-ayefele%E2%80%99s-three-band-members-vanish-in-us.html |
