Kuns84: Did you watch the video at all? He is no way religious... rather he treats the bible as an ancient book written by men which contains some truths about female nature .. hence the reference to 'Jezebel '
Secondly, coach gets his title as 'coach' not because he teaches men how to behave or whatever.. but because he is an ex-basketball coach.
Regarding the highlighted, these are all intangible qualities that men also bring to the table in any union. So how is that anything of value to him? If both parties bring the same thing to the table, why should one gender pay to be married to the other?
In the history of all time, bride price has always been the 'price tag' for a chaste bride.. and that's the point.
Did I watch the video? No.
His summary is enough.
Thanks on the clarification of the title 'coach' and his religious leanings.
It doesn't change my opinion of him anyways. If he wants to reference the Bible, he should do it right. And picking a book you don't believe in to buttress your point in a general sense is misleading.
The Bible also talks about the nature of man; I hope he is willing to accept it.
@bold: my post you quoted explains why a man pays 'bride price'. You can study more on manhood to understand who and what you are as a man and how you fit in the scheme of things.
Then you would not ask why you pay 'bride price'.
Men and women do not bring the same thing to the table. Even same qualities would be expresses in different ways. A courageous mother would pick her daughter from a burning house; a courageous father would face armed robbers with a Cutlass.
Bride price is not a price tag for chastity. In the olden days, women and men were expected to be chaste. If the women were generally chaste, it stands to reason that the men were chaste too. This is basic red pill reasoning that states 'women are the gatekeepers of sex.'
You could argue that there were prostitutes or women who had sex before marriage however only a small percentage of men indulged.
It is however a man's prerogative to decide how important the chastity of his bride is.
alizma: I thought they say "show me your friends and I will know who you are"? Lady B is lady A's and you said lady A is a devil while lady B is an angel. indirectly, you are telling us that holy Angels now make friends with the devil? Oga Righteousness pls come and attend to this spiritual case, this is beyond me
tosomaju: For two years you didn't know all these about lady A and in few months you are already certain lady B is all you want? My brother they go use your destiny play ludo. Kantinew its like they are doing you.
Deldorido: The problem is that I don't know where to look for the girl now. Maybe I should look for it on the internet? But how exactly do you do this? I've never used the internet for dating before. Maybe you can give me some advice on this?
What type of girl do you want? What kind of man are you? Would the type of girl you want be interested in a man like you?
When you know what you want, you can start searching.
crackhaus: It's normal to get these reactions from them... no one likes being made to feel like they are not worth much on account of their sexual history.
That point aside, how they feel is not your fault neither is it the fault of that guy who made the comment – he has said what he has said.
Anyone who wants to feel good should go have a conversation with their boyfriends or husband, not looking for it in a strangers' comment on the internet.
I would be wary of a coach who misinterprets a Bible passage to buttress his point.
The verse is telling men not to sleep around or waste their strength.
I am wondering how that matches his article.
I have looked at bride price from the religious [Christianity] standpoint and learnt:
A man (hopefully when he is of age) picks a woman whom he has decided fit into his vision (by God's leading, his own leading, leading of others etc) and invites (by marriage) her by marriage is join him to fulfill that vision.
They form a new branch from the family tree to start their lives.
Bride price is a symbol of a man 'possessing' a woman from her parents out of love and comes with living together, change of name etc to show the world she is his and he is hers.
While a man would appreciate a chaste woman, her chastity is a fraction of what she brings to the table. She brings her gifts, talents, time, resources etc etc. to the table for the growth of the family.
Except all a man needed from a woman is her virginity (he intends to divorce her after disflowering her), the coach doesn't make much sense.
Emodeee: You dey disguise. Wetin you want make the woman do? Come clean.
I am not concerned with what she does.
My concern was with 'how she handled the issue.'
She KNEW she was not leaving the marriage so coming online was foolishness.
She should have found a resolution/ dissolution that would keep her business in her circle. Coming online would also put pressure on Channels TV to sack/suspend the guy.
If they do, she would be stuck with a jobless, cheating, abusive husband.
Is she going backwards or forward?
Imagine a whole Dr. degraded to 'Battered wife of .....'
Barristter07: The biggest hypocrisy here is the Fact that many antagonizing her won't take it lightly if there partner in marriage consult their mother for decision before them.
JoyJones2000: NO its not! In my church when a brother finds the will of God in a sister, all he has to do is seek her consent if she agrees then they both go to the church marriage committee. then if the marriage committee gives in, then comes the courtship which should be guided by the holy spirit so as not to fall into temptation cuz yes temptation must surely come but no one should fall for it.
And my bible tells me that woman who keeps herself and her bed undifiled till marriage shall be loved and honored by her husband and God himself but the one who doesn't shall be judged
Your Bible must be customized.
I did not know chastity/ sexual purity was only expected from women.
Romanoff: Depends, if you're a Christian, sex is not necessary for a relationship but you have to ensure you're in a relationship with a Christian as well.
Amos 3vs3.
Premarital sex is the reason some have body counts that are beyond the fingers in their hands and feet.
justscorchone: The question should have been what exactly do nigerian men do to each other,they will never assist you or their family but will spend millions just to get laid .
Heartbrokengirl: I have always hated the idea of dating married people, but here I am...the ex-girlfriend of a married man.
It started sometime during the lockdown, I went somewhere to get groceries and ran into this man. Let’s call him Mr X. His smile and sense of humour was the attraction. He was putting on a nice senator material and when I stood for us to leave, he towered above me. I am a 6ft tall lady and ladies with my height can tell the happiness when you meet a taller man.
We started chatting regularly and we were in a competition to give ourselves treats. On our second date which I initiated, I asked his age and he replied 36, he asked mine and I told him. He expressed his doubts and I showed him my drivers license. Started asking many questions about my background and I answered all of them. I asked about him too, including his marital status.
I had just gotten out of a relationship, his father said he wouldn’t marry outside the Catholic church and he started drifting, I had to let him go. It was tough for me, but after months of keeping to myself, my friend encouraged me to go on dates and give another man a chance. I decided to give Mr X a chance.
It was beautiful. We were in a competition to please ourselves, take ourselves out and we both had a healthy sense of humour...chatting was fun!!! Everywhere we went, people stared. We were all over ourselves even in public and till date I wonder how he pulled that off.
One day his office had a party and he asked if I could come, I said yes. Got there and the guys were looking at me with lust, the ladies were looking at me with pity. He said the ladies were jealous of my looks and some of them have been crushing on him. If you see him and see me, you’ll understand why this explanation made little sense.
After the party that day, it was late to go back to my house and his house was farther, so we decided to book a hotel around. That night was our most intimate night. We kissed, he gave me leg massages, a head and said he is ready when I am ready. I was blown away. Could this be real?
I always noticed he would be lost in thoughts whenever we are together and blame it on work. Other times he will start feeling sick and I would have to close earlier to go give him food and drugs. This became a regular occurence until one day…
He had fallen sick as usual. I made him promise to take pain relievers and we should consider going to the hospital. He didn’t do this and I had to make out time within the week to go check on him. He said it is because he was missing me, how sweet!
He didn’t get better, it was obvious something was bothering him. I decided I will take him for lunch so we can talk about it, but he couldn’t wait. That night he said he has something to tell me, he kept apologizing but still couldn’t say it. He asked if he could send a voice note and I told him to go ahead.
At about 3mins into the voice note, I felt my world crumbling. He told me he was married and has been married for almost 10years with kids. His family was not in the country, that is why I never saw traces of them. He said he had been battling with the guilt and was scared to tell me because some other girl left when she found out and the last was with him for money. He knew I would leave and was scared, his best friend told him to give it time, another told him to ghost me but I have been good to him and his conscience won’t let him. Other friends said he should never mention it to me.
When my friend saw him, she told me he was going to hurt me. I asked her how and she said I was too innocent for him. She didn’t say further not to be termed hater, but since he made me happy again...she wished me well.
I kept replaying the audio while he kept asking me to say something. I wondered if he treated his wife the way he treated me. He was such a gentleman. Held my hands when I had to walk in heels, opened the car door for me, checked on me at work, gave me handmade customized gifts...he made them himself. He said his wife is bad and he wants divorce her, lolz. I told him they all say that. I told him how much he has hurt me, but I forgive him and appreciate him telling me when he did.
It has been almost 3months but the pain lingers. I know I will be fine…
25yrs to 36yrs?
Babes why?
A 36yr old guy (almost 40?) to your young self?
Maybe my bias speaking here.
Anyways, good you came out of it and Bobo is a gamer, forget all the years and apology.
He probably realized you would not give up sex soon that's why he jumped to the next person.
@family welcoming you: some families are legit useless and immoral. Or since they are Muslims, he told them he wants to marry you.
Ask your friends what they saw in him then you can pick the logical stuffs for further learning.
Tripitaka: No big deal. She didn't catch you cheating so nothing lost. Thankfully, she is understanding according to you so it'll be a short time before your indiscretion is forgotten.
That said, I have some questions: Did you complete the wānk even while she was there or you had to suck the cum back in?
What was your first reaction when you were caught dìck in hand? Did you drop the dìck or held on to the now limp díck?
sholay2011: It will shock most people that the full meaning of that quote actually means the reverse of what you think it means. The full quote is: "The Blood of Covenant (for example marriage) is thicker than the water of the womb (for example, siblings)".
chrisooblog: if the bold is true then Kiki really messed up because she has given the impression that she put her safety on the line for the award winning story.
it's one thing to criticize government but if you yourself making the criticism is behaving in an unethical manner what moral right would we then have for calling out government?
that's why a lot of people are so disillusioned with some "activists" in this country. you're not sure if it's sincere or just for clout.
A Dr. claims she has been abused from day one in a six year marriage, have four kids and got beaten because she was 'advising' the husband to stop spending on elese pepeye.
And somehow, people think she wanted to end her marriage?
Hopefully, you both have learnt your lessons and better conflict resolution.
Or you have fortified your body against damage from future beating.
yungchop: We are no longer dating dear. We had a misunderstand and she brought up the issue again and I wasn't ready to convince her any further. I don waka my waka
Beverlyjean: Really...did u just say that @ bolded ?? ...so he doesn't satisfy u or What?? I don't get ...isnt it enjoyed by both ??..or u see it as a favour or what?? Its confusing
The thread aside,
I cringe anytime I read 'satisfying husband sexually' as part of a chore.
pcguru1: Dude Zalando no be small company he has share and stocks, working or not he's making money o. This is not house husband. Also this RP thing is getting out of hand. If she leaves him, she'd have to find another CEO , which is highly unlikely.
@bold: Hahahahahahahaha.
Someone see CEO of a billion euro company say na pushover.
