LMAO @ embolded. I don laugh die.

I agree with you here. Human's need a spur to motivate them into becoming resourceful and hardworking. Something that would make us sit up and embrace the fact that life waits for no one and everyday counts.

While growing up my father would always remind us that life is a battle field and we should assume that everyday it's a new challenge requiring a different method of approach as no two days are thesame. And if we must scale through and succeed we should always harbour this in mind.

He'd remind me in particular that I should never depend on anyone for livelihood not even my elder brothers who were providing me with everything I needed at that time as they might disappoint me in the future, when he might have gone and by which time it might be too late to make amends. Those words are like an afflatus, muse and influential in shaping my life and approach towards life.

It takes more than just breathing, eating and sleeping to live life. One has to develop themselves everyday in whatever they do. Be it studying, working or whatever they specialise on. Be at the top of it.

Lastly, I'm very comfortable when a fellow guy employs any of those cliche lines on me about being a real man than when a lady does. Reason being that she might be falsely assuming or think that it's only men who should work hard and be successful. The conception that men are to strive harder in life more than females is baseless and Victorian. If a man should be 'real' a woman too should.

Isn't strange that it was during a woman's rule that things went topsy turvy for females?

If she believed in those nonsense she propagated, why did she not relinquish the throne for her husband or male relative with a claim to the throne?

Understanding is deep nne.
The thread is not in anyway encouraging laziness, no sane woman would validate a lazy man. The thread is directed at real men who are trying their best, but somehow the society and ladies around them think otherwise.

They say they don't validation, try saying the men in your lives are the only reasonable men on earth and watch some of them come for you like an anticipated prey.

If humans don't need validation, why do we have/need promotion at work. Why not sit on your desk, do your work, don't get promoted and convince yourself you're the fhucking best.

Reminds me of that Flavour's song
To be a man is not a day's job...

It's okay to say one doesn't need any validation from another human, but it doesn't change the fact that no one is an island. Deep down is us, we all crave to be appreciated by our loved ones and probably the society at large.

I would implore my fellow women to affirm their man while he's "stretching", be his personal cheerleader. Don't wait till he wins the race, affirm every single step.

Extremely true

@OP:

Coming to Nigeria, the privileged and/or enlightened would earn more because of exposure and understanding that earning a living is different from building a career.

They would also have more opportunities to start from the right places in this man know man society.

Nevertheless, anyone who is determined will come out tops; the timing might just be different.

The failure one is so true. In addition to my job, I run a business that is growing and I tried many businesses before finding one that is great. The most important thing I learnt is never to trust anybody to do your business for you. The best business is the one you have full control over.

Family › Class Wage Gap by bukatyne(op): 10:40am On Nov 11, 2015

Workers from privileged backgrounds earn more than others

Workers from privileged backgrounds earn up to £18,000 more than others who had more humble starts in life, research has claimed.

A study has shown how the the average pay gap has reached £7,350 a year while doctors with poor or working class origins earn £17,000 less than those with more privileged upbringings.

And lawyers with more humble backgrounds earn £18,000 less according to the findings, which are due to be published in the American Sociological Review.

Workers from privileged backgrounds earn up to £18,000 more than others who had more humble starts in life, research has claimed. The graph shows the difference in earnings between people with working class origins and those with privileged upbringings

The study was based on a Labour Force Survey which asked questioned 100,000 people between July and September last year.

According to Nicholas Hellen of the Sunday Times, participants were questioned about the jobs held by the breadwinner in their homes when they were 14.

Results of the survey found that the pay gap was now ten per cent after taking into account factors which included education, age, ethnicity and gender.

The authors of the report, Daniel Laurison and Sam Friedman, from the London School of Economics said the upwardly mobile face a 'class ceiling' even once they have made it into Britain's top tier professions.

This includes the financial, legal and medical sectors often occupied by those who enjoyed privileged upbringings - but it also applies to the armed forces, police and IT, usually seen as more open career paths.

Mr Friedman is quoted as explaining that working class professionals with similar qualifications may be at a disadvantage because of cultural bias.

Hollywood actress Julie Walters (left) suggested earlier this year that working-class children 'aren't represented' enough in the arts. The last two years has seen a surge in the success of the likes of Harrow educated Benedict Cumberbatch (right) and Old Etonian Damien Lewis

He said: 'Employers may consider as signs of talent or competence attributes actually rooted in privileged upbringings - such as RP [received pronunciation] accents, a ‘polished’ appearance or highbrow tastes and hobbies.'

The research comes amid debate over whether there is a class divide in the arts.

Hollywood actress Julie Walters suggested earlier this year that working-class children 'aren't represented' enough and branded it 'really sad' that youngsters from privileged backgrounds were enjoying all the breaks.

The last two years has seen a surge in the success of the likes of Harrow educated Benedict Cumberbatch and Old Etonian Damien Lewis.

Laurison and Friedman questioned 47 actors, the Sunday Times reports, with research finding that those with more privileged backgrounds had been able to attend better acting schools.

One actress is reported to have said: ')During an an audition) someone asked me... whether I could speak "properly" if I wanted to. They actually said that to my face.'

[center]6 things parents should stop doing if they want to raise business-savvy kids[/center]

My generation, Generation X, was widely believed to be the first in U.S. history to not do as well as our parents’ generation had.

There were many reasons for this, but the primary one was the speculation that everything “good” that could be invented had already been invented. How could we possibly do any better?

Then came the Internet.

The World Wide Web, along with the ten "flatteners" that Thomas Friedman laid out in "The World is Flat," opened and brought together global markets, ushering in an exciting new era of innovation and entrepreneurship. The result? One could argue that we and the generation after us are doing just fine.

But what about the generation after that? The future business leaders who have yet to hit puberty or even start walking? If we are to raise the next group of leaders and entrepreneurs -- or at least adults with the skills to succeed -- I believe we must look closely at how we instill the traits necessary to survive and thrive in the new global business environment.

Parents must step up. Here are six things they need to do -- or not do -- to ensure we raise the next generation of business leaders properly.

1. Stop hovering.

Helicopter parents are everywhere. It's gotten to the point that children on leashes is a sight I see more often than I care to admit. I even see the implications of "hovering" around my own kids, in the evil eyes and subtle gasps I get as I let my daughter climb a jungle gym with no harness, helmet or safety rope.

The problem with hovering parents, however, is that with no space, children never learn to embrace and appreciate independence, a vital variable in building and developing confidence at an early age.

So, give your children some space. Allow them to fall and scrape their knees once in a while. Just remember that they will inevitably fall and get "scraped up" (figuratively speaking) someday, so it is far better to be around when they do than when they venture out and experience failure for the first time alone.

2. Stop defaulting to electronics.

OK, I get it. Sometimes the utter joy of silence after answering to "Mommy, Mommy" or "Daddy, Daddy" for the hundredth time can be an incredible incentive for putting your kids in front of a tablet or the television. But television and many children’s apps are stifling our children's imagination. Today, we get toys with prepackaged characters and television shows that provide everything from the character’s voice to any number of plots.

Gone are the days when children had to rely on their imaginations as they played.

While some screen time on television, electronics or games, can be useful -- assuming the right programs/apps are provided and consumed in moderation -- time with physical toys that encourage imaginative play, build creative skills and require critical thinking is important for children. Simple toys like building blocks, coloring books, play sets and even just household items can go a long way in this regard.

It is amazing what you can do with an oversized cardboard box and a fresh set of markers.

While parents play an important role in moderating play, they should allow and encourage their children to engage in unstructured free playas often as possible.

3. Stop giving ribbons for everything.

My daughter brings home a ribbon every day after gymnastics class -- even though she still hasn’t mastered the forward straddle roll. Of course, I understand why: She is 4 years old, and her teachers are trying to instill confidence and a sense of achievement.

The problem is that when she finally reaches that point in her life when she is not rewarded for doing exactly what is expected of her, she might lose the confidence we as a society spent so much time and so many ribbons trying to build.

In the end, ribbons are the lazy way of dealing with the issue of losing.

We need to understand that for many people motivation is based on a drive to be the best. Take out "the best" from the equation, and motivation is lost. Granted, I understand that a win-lose environment may hurt more people than it helps, but I would argue that when only a few people are allowed to win, we either learn to deal with the disappointment or we strive to get better. If we want to raise well-rounded kids, parents need to instill the latter goal.

4. Stop saying "no" to everything.

I love going to the homes of new parents, with their pristine floors, wine racks at ground level and clean white couches. Inevitably I am told that the house is safe because their children "aren't going to be like other kids."

That may be true, but in fact children need to be like other kids. They need to explore and engage their imagination, follow adventurous insights and dabble in new interests and hobbies. Often, these activities come in the form of permanent markers on a clean wall, a new toy in the bathtub or a spilled bag of flour in the living room. Our children need the creativity and critical thinking that these valuable experiences and lessons encourage at a young age and ultimately translate into valuable adult skills.

5. Stop teaching that failure is bad.

We strive for our children to be the best. Achieving high marks in school, earning first place in a club sport or winning at a science fair are all important and admirable goals. More important, however, is how we teach our children to fail, because they will fail at some point. And, as most business leaders will tell you, failure is common and indeed necessary on the road to success.

In times of failure, it is parents' responsibility to pick up our kids, dust them off and turn those failures into teachable moments. We need to instill in them the ability to see lessons through these failures, mistakes and errors. We need to promote risk-taking and allow our kids to take chances, fail and move on.

Instead of teaching our children to always strive for perfection, we should encourage them to strive for improvement.

6. Stop blaming everyone else for your children's shortcomings.

Finally, we should stop looking at our children as perfect little bundles of DNA. Children are by default illiterate, uncoordinated and generally ignorant; and while that may sometimes make them insufferable, it is our responsibility as parents to deal with it.

Instead of blaming society, culture, media, teachers, doctors or the weather for when our children misbehave or underperform, stop for a second and consider the level of responsibility you have as a parent. Remember, parents are the number one influence on a child's development, so before you blame someone else for an imperfect child, consider making changes at home.

Family › Re: Nigerians, We’ve Got A Sexuality Problem by bukatyne(f): 9:08am On Nov 11, 2015

ronald4lif:
Lol. Hypocrisy, self-denial, pretense and tartuffery is responsible for our 'profound hatred' towards gays and sex related matters. There are as many gay people in Nigeria and Africa at large like it's in the West, just that the aforementioned trait won't let gay lovers open up and accept their sexuality.

I'm guessing that most of the gay porn views was generated mainly from lesbian porn as from my personal experience with my mates I've realised that a lot of guys loves to watch ladies make out. And for some it could be that they are bi-curious but are suppressing it, which isn't bad provided they understand that not everyone can be conservative towards their sexual tendency and adopt a live and let live attitude.

However, what is surprising is that, these characters who loves to berate homosexuals are lesbian porn lovers. To be fair to them, I find it normal to watch ladies make out too but unlike them I don't go about chastising people based on their sexuality even though I consider it an obscenity.

If there was a way to restore virginity or completely reset one's body to be that of a virgin, the vast majority of Nigerians would have undergo such procedure countless times so as to appear 'holy' and reserve. Any people and society where religion hold sway like ours are the most hypocritical, deceptive and dangerous.

So so on point.

Is lack of care the wife's issue or abandonment?

Would it be acceptable if he sent money, paid the rent and still stayed away for 10 years?

Was the husband's family still communicating with him? If her in-laws were not giving her the concrete answers, couldn't she have called a round table with both families? Is she sure the husband is still alive?

The husband might be dead and the in-laws just telling her 'he will soon be back' to placate her.

The guy is as shallow as his wife. The cheating has nothing to do with what she did. That is just the excuse for it.

But fella trusted his wife and got skived in the gonads for it. Can she regain his trust? I don't know seeing the dude us just as weak as his wife. But she has to try.

For the cheating bits, well I still have no advice for anyone in similar straits especially as I don't subscribe to divorces.

100% on point.

If the husband decided to hands off the baby financially, fine'; but to cheat?

How do they even correlate?

Since you do not subscribe to divorce, how do you treat cheating or physical abuse in marriage

Your opinions please

Stillfire:
Maybe people especially MEN should respect their marriage vows and then we wouldn't be talking about divorce.

100% True.

I think the next statistics on divorce should give us a breakdown...

1. The % as a result of adultery/abuse. Out of the total percentage, the number who knew their spouses had those characteristics before marriage. (IMHO, a wife complaining of a cheating husband after fighting 15 ladies to be the grand winner or the husband complaining of a cheating wife when she has obviously been spending more than her income is a joker)

2. The % as a result of irreconcilable differences

Then we would know where the work is.

MMotimo:
At least 13 issues, if not more, from the 20 above can be tied into your choice of male partner (boyfriend or spouse), read and analyze carefully. Dear women, that is 100% your responsibility! Do not go and settle for someone who disparages you or treats you as inferior in any way.

With over 50% of the list under your control as a woman, be wise in your choice of association and marriage. To start with, place value on yourself, do nothing out of desperation nor frustration. Take your time in courtship, that is the time to know your man and learn if he truly complements you and if you can spend the rest of your life with his character. If you take your time in courtship, you will save yourself a lot of future heartache. Very few people will change after marriage, don't deceive yourself.

As for the other societal mumblings about don't buy a car or expensive things before you marry, that is typical Naja interference after all we love to mind other people's business. I doubt that a girl who really needs a car and can afford it would take that advice.

Since forever, Naija women have purchased expensive things even if they have to go aborrowing so still not sure where that came from?

As for loose women staying in hotels, that is the point at which I start to wonder about that Writer's location? Which part of Nigeria exactly? Perhaps in the North where it is a more conservative society? There has to be context to these generalizations. Naija women should not get all riled up and adopt a cloak of victimhood because someone wakes up and starts to make sweeping statements about their lives. A write up like this is just to wind women up and apparently, it is succeeding.

More importantly, Nairalanders, how are you helping with these issues?

How many women here would be open to contributing to a fund to educate village girls whose parents deny an education because of affordability (not because of cultural values)?

When a girl dumps an overbearing, domineering boyfriend, are you giving her encouragement or are you telling her she should have endured because she's getting old or because the guy is rich?

When your sister is aging before your eyes because her husband won't assist with chores and they can't afford a housekeeper, are you offering free childcare to her on the weekends? Can you take her money and help buy her groceries when you go and buy yours since she already married the "monster"

Or is it easier to just post on threads about the plight of the victimized Naija woman then logout and forget about it

@bold, tell me about it.

Yet somehow we are also saying they should be able to go ahead and do what they want.

Very conflicting.

My sis,

It is well.

That's why I say we ladies should have a road map for our lives first and start following it first before marriage.

Is it 100% foolproof, maybe not.

Lol,

I've only stated a fact o. Whether or not we comment on this thread, the young man will end up marking that register, and certainly they won't end up together.

Over '90%' of relationships do not end in marriage. We only go to mark register.

He obviously doesn't
