FamilyRe: Why Do Women Lose Interest In Sex After Marriage? by asoderock(m): 5:06am On Jan 18, 2021
*SLAVERY OF MEN BY WOMEN*

German writer Esther Villar In her book *"The Manipulated Man"* that caused outrage and hostile criticism from women explains how women since the earliest times have manipulated men and turned them into their slaves, they have pretended to be the oppressed sex while in the real sense they are the oppressors. She explains how a woman manipulates a man skillfully by steps like dating, courtship and finally marriage, hence the saying *"a man chases a woman until SHE catches him".*

In her book she explains how the man is tricked to care for the woman all his life and her offspring. He rolls the stone like Sisyphus and in turn gets rewarded by a few minutes of sexual pleasure. We can, by observing Esther Villars assertions that a man is a slave of his desires and the woman uses and has used it for thousands of years as a stick and carrot to keep the man chasing vanity and commit his life to serving her.

She goes ahead to explain the rivalry of women, how each woman feels the powerful urge and need to own a male for herself. Like a slave owner she detests any move the man would make to offer his services to another woman. She uses all means to keep the man to herself and her offspring alone.

Esther Villar's sentiments are captured by Nigerian Poet, critic and writer, Chinweizu Ibekwe in his book, *"The Anatomy of Female Power"* (AFP), and Will Farrel's, *"The Predatory Female*. They all push the theory that all societies are matriarchal and not patriarchal as we are pushed and forced to believe. Matriarchy has ruled not through brawn but wits and tricks; women feigning weakness to be protected etc. Thus the male becomes the most exploited sex in human history, (in wars the man is always ready to die for the woman; he has been trained to do that).

Chinweizu calls the idea of dating, courtship, and training, like that of a horse. It is during this time that a woman having kept the man on a leash by denying him sex and getting him addicted to her by false charms, trains and breaks him to whatever she wants him to become.

The marriage celebration becomes a celebration for the woman and her friends, and they all congratulate her for having succeeded in getting herself a slave. A man on that wedding day waves goodbye to his independence and his coalition of males and commits himself to a Sisyphean life, rolling the stone, an act he cannot abandon having society and the government checking on him and always ready to jail, shame or exile him for absconding his duties.
*Thus, the government and society help the woman in keeping her slave in check.*

Chinweizu gives a narration of how women are trained by older matriarchs to tame men. He explains how a man is trained to rely on women by his own mother. A man is shamed by his own mother for cooking for himself and for doing other domestic chores, who herself, is an agent of the global matriarchal rule.

By getting the man to hate domestic works and having it enforced by culture which warns men against going into the kitchen, doing laundry etc., the mother trains his son for the other woman, his wife, who will captivate him and when the time comes she takes hold of the man's stomach and by getting the man addicted to her body she holds him by the two, in bed and in the kitchen. With those two weapons she manipulates the man and turns him into her plaything.

In the *"Myth of the Male Power"*, Esther Villar's *" A Man's Right to the Other Woman"*; *"The Polygamous Sex"*, the authors of those books challenge the narrative that men oppress women, and by detailed research across African, Western and Eastern both in ancient and modern societies, the authors unravel the hidden power of the ruthless matriarchal power that rules the world.

*Presidents, Emperors, Kings and indeed all men, are all puppets of the matriarchy forces that rule the World by pulling the strings from behind the curtains.*

*�Man, Take it or Leave it!�*

Car TalkRe: How Hard Is It To Drive A Manual Car In Lagos by asoderock(m): 7:56am On Sep 04, 2016
In the short term, driving a manual car will be a pain in the ass, especially with the Lagos traffic. It takes some time (more than a year for some) to master the art of driving smoothly and pleasureably with a manual car.

Once you have perfected your skills with the manual tyranny, you will become attached to it and will always look forward to driving it. I got a manual car in 2012 and was driving daily for work to Apapa. It was a real nightmare, I often regretted my decision, I burnt 2 clutches in less than one year, thankfully clutches are cheap. I have since perfected the art and tricks of shifting and would never let go driving manual vehicles.

The experience for me now with manual is near 0rgazm. Although I latter picked up an auto tyranny latter, the manual will always remain my favorite darling. Expensive repairs are virtually non existence except for normal Oil changes, brakes bushings.

As for slow moving traffic, that can be a pain especially for new drivers, but in the long run u pick up tricks to limit stress like returning to neutral frequently instead of holding down the clutch.

"My Car was snatched at gun point on Tuesday night (14th June 2016) at about 10.30pm at Eko Bridge Lagos State(exactly on Costain). The robbers dispossed me of my car and other valuables. I was taken to the ATM at the new GTB at Town Planning to withdraw the money in my account by the robbers. Am still hoping that the car would be recovered as the car is yet to be found by any boby including the security personnels.

The car details is as follows:

Name of owner: Raymond U Egbufoama.

Veh. Make: Toyota Camry (Big Daddy).

Chassis no: 4TIBE32K52U014610.

PoliticsRe: I’m Not Available To Serve In Buhari’s Govt. Now — Soludo by asoderock(m): 9:38am On Jun 08, 2015
Many a times I wonder why many of we Nigerians are lazy to read, and when we do, we don't analyse raised issues objectively and thoughtfully.
Most commenters are fixated just on the headline and are making jesting and insulting comments.
I read the entire interview and can relate with many of the points raised. Without far reaching political and economic reforms as Soludo was saying, it will be difficult to deliver the promised change, this is where his emphasis partly lie. This should spark a serious debate.

Please let's grow up and treat matters objectively based on its merits.
EducationRe: Photo: See How A Mathematician Proved 0 Divided By 0 Equals 2 by asoderock(m): 12:12pm On May 11, 2015
Ok so .....

Final Verdict..

ANY NUMBER DIVIDED BY ZERO IS INDETERMINATE. (An already documented rule in Mathematics)

meaning it can be any number from minus infinity to plus infinity.

so 0/0 =2 is correct since it obeys the above mathematical rule.
EducationRe: Photo: See How A Mathematician Proved 0 Divided By 0 Equals 2 by asoderock(m): 7:58pm On May 10, 2015
jstriker442:
(100)-(100) is this correct 2 place this way huhhuh If it is then.........(10^2)-(10^2) check it very well bro.
Its tricky, but I stand by my position.

putting in parenthesis has not cancelled out the (-) sign.

Now this will make sense if you try to work back.
Q. Evaluate -(10^2)

A. -(10^2)= -10^2 =-10x-10 =100 ...You have to open the bracket first, that is the rule of mathematics.
EducationRe: Photo: See How A Mathematician Proved 0 Divided By 0 Equals 2 by asoderock(m): 7:15pm On May 10, 2015
Well, I give lots of compliment to the op for such a simple but thought provoking analysis.

If you are a mathematician or lover of mathematics, you will know that no valid mathematical proof will make 0/0 to be =2 even without look at any claim of proof. Intact the probability of that happening is zero.
I have to admit though that I went through the op proof a couple of time before I detected the mathematical error.

The numerator evaluation from line 3 to line 4 is the culprit.
-10 x 10 numerator line 3 is not equal to -10^2 numerator line 4.

Intact you can't raise any number to any power to give a negative number.

So, (-10x10)=-100
while (-10^2)=(-10x-10) = +100 ...which are not the same.

Every other mathematical argument in the op proof are correct.


But the incorrect step above invalidates the proof.

PoliticsRe: Kerosene Price Rises By 200% by asoderock(m): 1:25pm On Jul 14, 2013
The blame for the high cost of dpk falls squarely on nnpc. nnpc has the monopoly of kerosine importation even though they dont have the facilities for its distribution. nnpc claims subsidy from government and still go ahead to illegally charge marketers N30 or more per litre before giving allocation to load from the imported cargo laden vessels.
the landing cost of dpk is about N60, meaning even without subsidy nigerians will even pay less for the product if the market is deregulated.

Jobs/Vacancies5 Things To Ponder First Before Quitting Your Job by asoderock(op): 2:48pm On Feb 13, 2013
We do a lot of talking these days about becoming
an entrepreneur, following your passion, and
doing great things. Well, that’s easier said than
done. There are practical aspects of that equation
that can be enormously challenging to overcome.
For one thing, most of us are gainfully employed.
It isn’t easy to just pick up and leave a career
we’ve invested in, whether it’s the right move or
not. Then there’s the risk factor. We have
responsibilities, a mortgage to pay, kids to raise
and put through college. It’s hard to risk a sure
thing for an unknown, especially later in life.
Nevertheless, there’s a lot to be said for following
your dream. You may not get rich, but you will
enrich your life. And at least one school of
thought says that you’ll be more successful doing
what you love doing than anything else. I
couldn’t agree more.
I took a hard left turn 23 years into my career
and, although it’s been quite a challenge, it’s also
been incredibly satisfying and invigorating.
There’s nothing like jumping headfirst off a high
cliff to get the adrenaline flowing and make you
feel young again. But before you jump, do these
five things; they will help you make the right call.
1. Take a long, hard look in the mirror.
What do you see? If it’s someone who took the
path of least resistance early in life and has been
locked on to that trajectory ever since, who would
suffer deep regrets if she didn’t at least try to find
her true path, that’s some pretty good
motivation, right there.
If, on the other hand, you see someone with a
romantic notion of doing his own thing instead of
working for the Man, that’s probably not going to
work out so well. You’ve really got to figure out
what your motivation is. What are your objectives,
your priorities? What are you trying to prove and
to whom?
Understanding what your true motives and goals
are will help you and your family–an important
part of the equation, by the way–to assess the
risk and make the right decision. It’ll also help
you avoid waking up down the road and realizing
you made a change for all the wrong reasons, like
“the grass is always greener.”

2.Don’t try to be what you’re not.
You’re not really trying to change as much as
you’re trying to find the real you, the path you
were meant for. I know that sounds amorphous,
but that’s just the way it is. You’ll know it when
you find it. If you’re not sure, then keep looking.
I started out as an engineer, but that really
wasn’t for me. So I got into sales, then marketing.
Lo and behold, that was the real me. Everything
got easy. And I climbed the corporate ladder like
a monkey.

You see, people can change under very specific
conditions, but if changing your DNA, so to speak,
is a prerequisite for your career shift, I wouldn’t
do it unless you’ve got a considerable financial
safety net.

3. Look for problems, not solutions.
Most entrepreneurs are people looking to do
something new and different; they search for
ideas, for solutions. That’s usually the wrong
place to start. What you need to find first is a
problem that you feel passionate about solving.
With any luck, it’s one that you’re uniquely
qualified to solve.
One of the most important questions venture
capitalists ask when evaluating an enterprise is:
Does it solve a big problem? Does it eliminate a
customer pain point? Does it help customers
either do something they really want to do but
never could, or do something far better, easier, or
less expensively than ever before?
Another way to think of it: Don’t try to do
something great. Not initially. Just try to find a
problem you think needs to be solved and do
that. Mark Zuckerberg wasn’t trying to create a
company or do something big when he started
Facebook. He just thought it would be cool to be
able to rate women’s looks online. That was it.

4. Go where the money is.
I don’t care what anyone says: tossing out years
of experience in one career to jump to a new one,
perhaps even an entrepreneurial endeavor, is
extremely risky. Best case, you will take a
financial hit. And you have to be prepared for
various not-so-best-case scenarios, as well,
especially if you’ve got a family to support.
I’m not saying don’t do it, but consider this.
Giving up a solid paycheck to start something
new on a shoestring budget in a commodity
business where you might end up slugging it out
with entrenched competitors for single-digit profit
margins is for the birds.
Of course, money shouldn’t be your primary
motivation, but you shouldn’t throw caution to
the wind, either. Look at fields and industries that
have more than a snowball’s chance in hell of you
making it and making ends meet. Go for growth
markets in which venture capital firms are
investing, for example.

5.Find a great team.
There is tremendous power in groups–at least the right groups. The same goes for complementary
partnerships. Find a wingman, or be somebody
else’s wingman. Find a great team to be a part of or create one. Most successful start-ups have
more than one founder. Bill Gates had Paul Allen.
Google’s Larry Page had Sergey Brin. It’s true in
any field. It took four extraordinary people who
seemed anything but extraordinary at the time to make the Beatles.
Warren Bennis co-wrote an amazing book about
great groups called Organizing Genius: The
Secrets of Creative Collaboration. Even if your group isn’t magical, at
least you will have others to share the work and
the misery with. Remember: When you’re doing
something new or making a change, support is
key. No kidding.
