angelfallz: I got too much swagger!!! Lol. I think that was sung by Kes.
Let me ask. What is your opinion on the widely held belief that yoruba women are women of easy virtue. I mean, yoruba women, married or not, men can get them in bed easily. i know it is a generalisation. But i've heard it too much both online and offline, that it does get me thinking. In fact in my uni, one of my friends an igbo guy told me, if i want to Bleep, i should look for yoruba girls, in his own words, "yoruba girls dey give". Another friend of mine a yoruba guy warned me not to marry a yoruba woman, because in his own words, "yoruba women legs no dey close"
The same opinion you have on Igbo girls being gold diggers.
Carlyboi: There was no where it was written in the story that the man proposed seven times and the woman refused seven times.....
I have got my reservations with the ruling and this pArticular Canadian law to I think it needs a review and Canadian men have to fight for it,but as of now the law is the law...so if you don’t wanna get cooked don’t get too close to the kitchen and I also think the years they relationship lasted played a huge role in awarding the settlement in favor of the Ms Climans asides him spoiling her and making her accustomed to a particular lifestyle as posited.The juror(s)must have come to the conclusion that it was a real and serious relationship and that the woman was hugely committed to the relationship and to Mr latner,that’s why I hardly as misgivings when men ask for spousal or child support after separation or divorce from their Exes.Kendu Isaacs,Kevin Federline,Simon Konecki and Jennifer Hudson’s ex I can’t remember his name now comes to mind!i believe what’s sauce for the goose is defo sauce for the gander lol!
Somewhere in the story says dude proposed seven times.
As they like it jare.
Like it has been established on this thread, know the rules of engagement and play to win.
Zzor: Before that judgement,the judge must have listened to both sides and proper investigations done.Remember this is not Africa,in a sanner clime this is how it should be so as to put alot of men in check
What are these laws supposed to check men against?
MrBrownJay1: Sista, this common law spouse issue is very simple, I am amazed at how many people don't get it.
These women are not getting spousal support because they provided domestic support during their union (most of these women probably have maids and don't even do chores), they get it because of a certain life that she is now used to live, thanks to that man. So if you guys have kids going to private school with private drivers all their lives etc, then just because they divorce shouldn't be a reason for these kids to now be affected by the divorce and use public bus to go to some BS school...same with that ex lifestyle.
@Bold:
Just learnt that.
I remember some years back when spousal support was justified based on the potential income the non-earning spouse would have lost due to staying home and supporting the earning spouse.
Zzor: lol, he's paying for draining her emotionally
She did not drain him too? Or are you saying only a man benefits from a relationship where he constantly spent his money to 'elevate' her to his status.
Deathisfree: I just relocated to a new apartment,I am a very comfortable guy,I live alone. this babe stays in the other flat, she lives alone and she got a boy friend and I have a girl friend too. She started coming over to charge ,then to watch movies now comes for no reason ..she eat here ,watch movies and come anytime even 11pm but never passes the night here.

What do I do please ? This girl no worth am but she’s always available due to that we are living in the same compound
@Bold is your own definition of 'Alpha' male; keep wasting your seed and strength o!
emkz: When I was abroad and wanted to get married, I was advised to marry an abroad-based Nigerian woman who had an understanding of the workings of the system abroad, who understood that every penny must be worked for and every bill must be paid and failure would lead to a judicial process. Someone who would appreciate the value of £20 after understanding the sweat it takes to get it.
Many at times, girls at home are not really exposed and don't understand the dynamics of settling down abroad. They don't understand the struggles of sharing a house, budgeting for a month, eating bread with mayonnaise, pasta with mayonnaise, seeing things you cannot afford to buy, loneliness and worst of all, having no money and having no one to loan you. When she does not go through these struggles and comes abroad, she'd think life is a paradise when she see house and car. Then when she is befriended by one gbeborun, they'd fill her head with ideas that she can be independent at your expense. They then begin to launch a scheme to get you out of the way and take over your house. Even when they take over these houses, they forget they must pay all the bills to maintain the house: heating, electricity, land tax, council tax, gas and water bills; telephone bills, TV license, home contents insurance and house fire insurance. Let them have the house. Fight not to pay alimony. Within two years, they'd be forced to sell the house and na there their real struggle go start.
There are many high-flying women abroad who are well-to-do and well-mannered. Go to churches, they are there; go to local expats events like internations, they are there. You'd also find them at conferences, pay and go. If it becomes inevitable to bring a woman from Nigeria, get a pre-nup to protect yourself and your assets, don't be blinded by love. Some women cannot manage freedom. I remember when the UK police went to a church and took a Yoruba-speaking Nigerian to plead with Nigerian women to stop calling the police on their husbands.
@Bold:
Very sad.
While I cannot claim to fully understand why Nigerian men still want to come to their villages to pick wives, I am of the opinion that a foreign based Nigerian woman would make a better wife; she has seen it all and is not freaked by the 'freedom' the West has to offer.
Same way I think a Nigerian man bred in Nigeria would make a better husband than Westerner just coming to Nigeria. The Nigerian man was born and bred in this 'patriarchal' society that nothing freaks him. A Westerner just experiencing this 'freedom' wants to explore all it has to offer and push his limits.
The above of course are generalizations and peeps MIGHT behave differently.
MrBrownJay1: Lol another few donkeys spotted on this thread!!!
No wonder so many men are taken for a ride with such failed mindset. If your woman has a job and doesn't contribute to the wellbeing of the family, then this woman is useless to the family unit, and any man should get rid of her.
A family is a UNIT, where both daddy and mummy will do their everything to better the family. If a man does everything while a woman doesn't then why should they be called husband and wife?! She is just a maid/cook and walking womb....aka a family employee.
That above man is just one of the deluded low self esteem men who use money to control women.
E ti take e personal
I have no issues how a couple decides to run their finances WHILE married.
Now that some people THINK it is okay for a spouse to continue to enjoy same financial lifestyle without providing same domestic support after divorce, one starts to look at these things in another light.
Ayt27: Chris rock on his last Netflix "Tambourine" special said this concerning his divorce. He looked at the court judge, on his side his soon to be ex-wife, the baliff, the lawyers , everyone in the court house that day.
They all woke up, brushed their teeth, looked their best and came up to court all to get a part of his money , all of them. He said he then realized at that point he was successful and he told his lawyer Bleep it....just give her/them everything she/they want and that included paying her legal fees.
Most divorce cases, the man ends up paying for the legal fees of the woman. Truth is the West are responsible for the rise of the world, they'd also be responsible for the fall of it.
I'v realized while growing up that a lot of guys just think differently from the way I did, they couldn't read between the lines, they couldn't not just bring their body to subjection, they were so eager to please the opposite sex, twas much later I understood and truth be told I had conformed to that pattern of thinking but I knew deep down it never felt right, it just seemed off.
If a man could keep his dick and resist the urge to always wanna score, Lol that man would begin to understand what freedom really is
Reference: They refuse God's laws that guarantees equity, peace and prosperity in favour of the laws of men that lifts one up and puts down the other. They should enjoy the mess of a society they conjure for themselves.
mutter: So much negative stuff out there about Mother's in Law. If we don't do anything we will soon be burnt on the stakes a cussed of controling and withchcraft and so much more
This video is the best poosible advice for dealing with a daughter in law... Suscribe to get other videos and to support an old Nairalander
MrBrownJay1: The issue is that during their long r/ship he changed her life and brought her into a certain luxuriuos lifestyle (this man is obviously a millionaire).. now, in the eyes of the law, they were common law husband and wife thus she can now demand to keep living the lifestyle she was made accustomed to by her (common law) husband.
If/when another man comes into her life and can afford to put her in such luxurious lifestyle, then ex can have the spousal support revoked or lowered.
So it is the man's fault that he spent on her during the relationship?
This does not make an iota of sense considering same woman REFUSED to marry him seven times.
People get 'spousal support' on the assumption that they 'supported' the rich spouse by domestic chores, emotional support, childcare, mental support etc.
What support would this woman say she provided? They did not even live together or have a kid together.
This law/ruling is against everything good and decent.
When white men are ready, they will stand up and fight.
Edited:
I responded before you added the Dr. Dre's part.
So these wives and husbands who request for spousal support to live the lives they were accustomed to pre-divorce, do they still intent to provide the 'support' they supposedly provided post-divorce?
Using Dr. Dre as an example, does the wife intend to still care for the house, warm his bed, care for the kids, provide financial advice etc.?
If no, on what basis does she still want to live the life she was accustomed to living while doing the above?
