When you are done with the world...come back to us Mama.
The Presidential Stool awaits you!

What is it with Trump obsession by "Christians"? Or is there something I'm missing?

Aunty Buka,you're underestimating the post of the VP ooo.
Even here in Nigeria during 2015 elections,Buhari was able to pull the votes of the south western people because of osinbanjo.
Another reason for the celebration is that if Americans can get a 'black' female as VP of America,it will give hope and eventually pave the way for a black woman to be president of America.

I heard of a young lady who boarded a bus here and instead of her to say "o wa o" she started shouting "there is there is"... people were confused until someone got what she meant and said "o ni o wa o"

I got married. We adopted our different roles early on (after some initial misunderstandings) and we're still together almost a decade later.

Some detail: our marriage is based on total honesty because we've structured it in a way that dishonesty and cheating will not bring any benefits to either of us, and because we both know that if it gets to that stage, opting out of the marriage will make more sense; especially since we've agreed to keep the children out of any future issues we may have. Luckily, thus far, I have given her no reason to doubt my integrity and competence, and she has given me no reason to doubt her respect and loyalty for me. When we fight, it's only over dumb little matters of grey area control; the last major battle was over my refusal to go for a covid test when I had a slight illness sometime around the beginning of the year, and she was giving me my drugs and food in angry silence for 3 whole days, but she later stopped fighting when she saw that I didn't die (and abandon her with the children).

Marriage is still good if; like all transactions; you choose your partners wisely, and you deal with each other honestly and responsibly. From my experience, I think it's also better to marry as soon as you are capable. Young people are still flexible enough to adapt to each other, unlike when two stubbornly rigid old Baba and Mama get married.

classicshantel:
Here to read the comments though.

Treash:
Legal issues...

"In 2010, Femi married Juliana in the Yoruba Customary Law (Traditional marriage) without children.
In 2014, same Femi married Jumoke at the Ikoyi Registry with 3 children.

"Who's the legal wife of Femi?"

Answer: Juliana
Why?

Section 33 of the Marriage Act provides as follows:

(1) No marriage in Nigeria shall be valid where either of the parties thereto at the time of the celebration of the marriage is married under customary law to another person other than the person to who the statutory marriage is had.

RisenPhoenix1:
Lol. Sorry. Don't vex.

Alexaonfleek:
I think it's just the same way people celebrated when Obama won.
You know Obama being the first black president of America.
Only difference here is the gender.
I mean it's kind of a big deal having a 'black' female as VP of America.

Leshurr:
Sometimes I wonder why homosexuals are so vicious, defensive and ready to attack at any point.
I've never understood why they feel the need to "come out" and announce to the whole world what they do in the confines of their bedroom . like how is your sexual depravity our blawdy business?
Then, if you don't agree or subscribe to their lifestyle you are called a hateful bigot. Just engage with a homo the next thing is they will start wishing you death yet at the same time play the 'victims'. Only the devil is that incessant in pushing his agenda which makes me believe homosexuality is demonic possession with a hint of mental illness.

Bro say no more.The future is polygamy.

Hathor5:
Are the Jamals or Kamals black or the children of immigrants, from a poor background etc??

Did they have to work extra hard, go the extra mile because factors such as race, social class etc. were not in their favor?

Then yes, I would acknowledge and celebrate their achievement like I did in Obama's case.

Kamala is a WOMAN, BLACK and THE DAUGHTER of IMMIGRANTS and yet she has achieved to become the VICE PRESIDENT.

Whether you think it's worth the hype or not is up to you

1. but if you don't by now understand where people are coming from then I can't explain it any better.

Hathor5:
Irrelevant. She is the most powerful woman as of now. How many PEOPLE can ever achieve what she has?

Magnoliaa:
Say whaaat now?? See because I tend to single out ONE example out of a rooted, systemic issue doesn't mean the background is suddenly erased. I easily single out cooking, sweeping, childbirth to signify the bulk of roles women are expected to do because they are women. It's just for easy reference. Not for me, Buka. Look around Nairaland, if you would be honest and look beyond your social circle in real life — things ARE happening to women. People still believe shit about women, and no offense here, you've made comments and created biased topics about women like that yourself. This is bigger than cooking.



That's a problem with some people who criticize the women's rights movement. You tend to conflate and project the free, empowered women with and on the disadvantaged ones - who are still in the majority.

Those women you listed - do they represent for the 50% of women population as men do? This is not about equality of outcomes here. There are reasons why some women, despite the stride of achievements under equality who are not taking up space. Equality goes beyond physical structures. A modern, city woman should not be pushed off at the expense of another who is yet empowered. One girl might need it more than the other... But it goes beyond these educational spots, right to vote, contesting for offices. There are REAL victims out there in the world. And there are mental victims as well. I'm not seeing anybody through any lenses. I'm not going into this.



Lol... Kamala is being hyped because she's a woman. End of. I don't know why you choose to consider being a VP as lesser in some way than being the President. Fact is, she's there as a woman, and her influence will be felt.

Chii59:
A similar example would be a female VP in Nigeria, not igbo.

cococandy:
1. Like several folks have said before ,
The win doesn’t belong to the primary person alone. It belongs to both of them. The president and the VP.

2. A president can win or lose an election because of the VP he or she chooses. Very important fact.

EBMedia:
Neo has asked men to always pray for their women.

The former reality show star who is romantically linked to fellow BBNaija star Vee, tweeted:


https://twitter.com/NeoAkpofure/status/1352306373980254209?s=19[/quote]A lot depends on the happiness of a woman or your woman?

cococandy:
So where is your thread from when Obama won? (I kid)
Because his race was a big issue and we celebrated his achievements in addition to celebrating someone of his race being given that opportunity.

Celebrating his race then didn’t mean his achievements were less important.

It’s basically the same thing in this case.
