Family › Re: Are Illegimate Child Considered Legitimate Even After The Parents Latter Married by bukatyne(f): 8:46pm On Jul 02, 2020

But we have legitimate marriage.
cheesy

As for the concerns raised in the OP, read the following:
https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/inheritance-rights-for-legitimate-and-illegitimate-children-47186
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legitimacy_(family_law)
https://www.naijalegaltalkng.com/illegitimacy-and-the-right-of-inheritance/

So in Nigeria, an illegitimate child becomes legitimate if:
1. Parents become married (legitimization)
2. If the father acknowledges the child (only in customary law. Interestingly more lenient than statutory)

Sounds too small for me.

And they should dig deeper, would be a wider network.

God give parents the wisdom, pro-activeness and the discernment to train their kids aright and not feel woke.

1. This gospel is dreadfully one-sided and it is also steeped in gender bias. It says nothing about women but charges men to be self-assertive as a precondition to getting better women.

2. This line of reasoning is wooly because there is no correlation between being self-assertive and getting good women.

3. Due to the nature of human, people who tend to be meticulous on their choice of women, don't always achieve all that tick their boxes.

4. A member wondered why the end goal of assertiveness of men should be in getting women and was not given adequate answer.

5. If a man's assertive disposition is merely to get good women then it is shortsighted and dense.

6. It is good to encourage people to be self-assertive, however, let this positive trait be tailored towards solving societal problems, and not seeking for the gratification of women.

7. If one becomes successful by being self-assertive, women, I mean good ones, have no choice but to follow he who has wields the palm front.
1. All my threads are dreadfully one sided. cheesy This is to address men. I have tens of threads to women.

2 - 6: The OP did not admonish men to be assertive and visionary for the sole purpose of getting good women. Marriage is not a goal or an end. It is the means to a end; fulfilling your purpose or vision or goal (which even is comfortable for you). Hence the need to find a wife that would be a plus to your vision. Except your vision is just to marry (just kidding). grin

7. Rome is not built in a day so the man might not be 'successful' when ready to marry; he however with his vision and assertiveness pick the woman best aligned to his course.

Many women nowadays are of the opinion that they have an equal right with their husbands at home.

Many of them except the same freedom they had in father's house to be replicated in matrimonial homes
They did not have 'equal rights' with their parents either.

And I do not see why a woman would look forward to marriage if they expect to be in bondage.

From where I sit, marriage is more freedom for women & men than is living with their parents. I would only agree with you that it is more responsibilities.

In their parent's house, they dance to the tune of their parents.

In their matrimonial homes, they build the rules their children dance to.

I think you have it backwards.

One of the unbiased ladies we have on this forum. Nice one bukatyne.
But becoming an assertive visionary man is tied to a lot of factors in the society though & the present society we live in today is not helping matters.
Welcome to the thread.

The first thing is desire. If you desire to be an assertive visionary man, you consciously and unconsciously start to work towards it irrespective of the circumstances around you.

It is going to be tough and might require steep sacrifices however, you will come out refined at the end.

I pray God gives you the grace, wisdom and strength to do all you need to become an assertive visionary man.

Amen.

A more interesting aspect is why 70% of black women are single. See below.

(I just opened a new thread based on it)

https://www.nairaland.com/5964241/why-70-black-women-single
70% of black women in the US are single (never married) and 80% of women initiate divorce in the US are mutually exclusive.

In summary, the reason why a man should be assertive and a visionary, is to get a woman/wife.

Really?

NO.

We, The Association of Assertive Visionary Men, London Chapter humbly refuse to accept this conclusion as a worthy enough reason for our assertiveness and vision.

The topic says 80 percent of women initiate divorce,its so because of the frustrations men of these days put them through in marriage,most men want to live their single life while married and it's not and never going to work that way hence the topic.
Hmmmmm

So you are implying that the husbands of yester years are better than the husbands today?

Yet, women today complain that they wouldn't take what their mothers accepted nor behave the way their mothers did. In fact, they don't want the husbands like the husbands of yester years (their fathers).

Toor.
Family › Becoming An Assertive Visionary Man by bukatyne(op): 9:10am On Jul 02, 2020
Happy new month peeps, to a better half year. smiley

This thread is directed to men and hopefully will be brief grin

Reading/ hearing a number of stories on/offline, I realize that a lot of men lack vision and assertiveness. Unfortunately, you cannot provide direction for a family or lead (not rule) one if you lack direction or vision.

Some posters would be wondering.... Nigerian men are 'tough, strong difficult to manage' etc. etc. Well, that is braggadocios which is a false or a dupe of courage birthed out of a vision. They also mix up rudeness and bullying with assertiveness. An assertive man is not difficult, rude or a bully. You know his vision and align with it.

What is vision:
Your life's vision defines who you want to be, what you want to be known for and the set of experiences and accomplishments you aim for. Your vision helps define the goals by giving you a framework to evaluate those goals.
https://www.corbettbarr.com/how-to-create-a-vision-for-your-life/

I picked the definition above because it speaks directly to the OP. As a man, what is you life vision? What do you want to accomplish? What is your purpose on this earth? What legacy do you want to be known for? What mark (s) do you want to leave when you are gone?

Do YOU believe in your vision enough to sell it to the woman intending to become your wife? To investors? To others whom you will lead? To people who needs to believe in you?

If you do not have a vision, what is your wife (your helpmeet) supposed to help you with?

If you have a vision and believe in it, do you have a mission statement to get you there? Do you know what is required to help you achieve the vision? Are you teachable and receptive enough to take your wife's inputs to beautify and fine-tune that vision?

What role does assertiveness play?
Assertiveness is the quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive. Being assertive means being able to stand up for your own or other people's rights in a calm and positive way, without being either aggressive, or passively accepting 'wrong'.
Culled from Wikipedia and SkillsYouNeed.com

An assertive visionary young man knows the kind of people he needs/ doesn't need around him. Before he engages a young woman, he has done a bit of pre-qualification: Does she fit into my vision? does she need a little fine-tuning? Are we so far apart? Do my vision and hers align? Are we headed the same direction?

Then the courtship begins to confirm the above (outside the scope of this thread).

When you know where you are going to, any road that doesn't lead to the destination becomes a no no. You will gently or violently turn back as required.

It is same with getting a wife. If she doesn't fit or align into your goals, you back off and move on. Your seed (sperm) becomes too precious to waste hence no hopping about like chickens in heat. You concentrate your seed and life force on your vision and your woman (whom you have qualified initially to be worth and aligned to your vision).

An assertive visionary man would know how to put his foot down than box himself into a corner and attempt to use rudeness, braggadocios and bullying to bring himself out.

Note: As an assertive visionary man, women would be interested in you. You need to use to assertiveness and self-discipline to weed all but the one qualified to be by your side. Missing it in marriage is going to derail you A. WHOLE. LOT.

Good morning.

You might be on to something.

CanadaOrBust:
In U.S. that is.
And what lesson can we learn from that?
And why is it that 50% of the marriages end in divorce? (See below)
And what lesson can we learn from that too?
Why don't you give us a break down?

Out the 80%,
60% is due to irreconcilable differences;
70% is due to adultery;
50% is due to domestic violence etc etc.

If further analysis can be done to say out of the 80% who initiate divorce, 70% go on to re-marry and also initiate divorce after X years. etc. etc.

What nationality are they? For instance, if most of them are Northern Nigerians who file divorce once they settle in the US because they were married off as teens to men old enough to be their fathers, it would be treated differently to a case where native American women wake up 10 years after they are married because they are 'fed up'.

Oya provide us more details so we can intelligently discuss.

Morning all. Loan still in need.
You/your sister do not need a loan at this stage.

Not one she wants to pay back in two months except you are saying she would have made the principal (N100k), interest (N20k) and profit enough for a solid capital base within that two months.

Let her go back to where she was working to get more experience and raise capital to start.

Since it is N100k she needs, let some family members raise what they have and she augments with her salary.

When it has grown a bit, she can source for additional capital in terms of loans.

This is not MMM.
To start, she will probably not make any profit the first 2 months because she needs to put down structure. Equipment, feeding materials etc.
Let's say she makes the money to pay you back, is that the end of the business? Which money will she use to continue the business?
.
What she needs is a long term loan, or to source for personal funds to start with.
