Acidosis:
he he. So those who don't stay out late aren't husband materials?

eyeview:
My wife and I watched the movie just once but our disappointment lasted for almost a week. We were waiting for the high point of the movie till it ended. We were really wondering what the hype was all about.
I turned to some of my friends to ask about the movie, just wanted to be sure that it wasn't me who had lost my sense of humour and they all opened up on how flat and 'over hyped' the movie was.
Infact someone suggested that those who paid the initial exhorbitant fees at the cinema should have started a riot there and then for a refund or atleast some change.
I just feel the AY guy just gave the movie the needed hype and by the time you realize it,it would be too late cos you would have parted with cash.

Teeboy15:
Hi ya'll, I'm a first time OP (whatever OP means) so please apologies on any typo error or whatever.

Though this post is coming when the movie is already old but i just felt the need to create the thread afterall.

Ok enuff talk lemme get straight to it. I think the movie 30 days in Atlanta was unnecessarily hyped for the following reasons;

1. Ay was not fit for the role; Ay does not have that rugged n razz personality to play the role of Akpors. He seemed too serious for the role, more like forcing himself to be an Akpors personality. A Bovi or Charles Inojie interpretation of the role would have made more sense.

2. Story line was poor; Like seriously what was he trying to portray, that Akpors is just a local Warri boy who got lucky, went abroad and couldn't behave himself in a cultured way? Seriously?

3.His comedy line in the movie when he got employed as a part-time comedian was terrible; Ay like seriously u could have done berra than that. Dat was whack. If na so ur shows dey be u for no get one kobo for account.

Let me state that I'm not in any way hating on the successfull comedian's effort (before Nairalanders go start their own wahala), for what its worth it was a good movie but constructive criticism also sell movies.

For those who haven't seen the movie make sure u get a copy of it and let us know what u think. U can also add ur opinion for those that have already seen the movie.

1. You are a mad person! You good-for-nothing-never-do well-article-of-no-commercial-value-malformation! (Imagine this kinda diatribe from your spouse).

2. Physical abuse will most likely not be devoid of verbal abuse. And while verbal abuse can be devoid of physical abuse, the effect on the recipient, when it is the sole weapon of attack can dwarf that of physical abuse (accompanied of course with some verbal assault).

Too much nollywood


Why do we always assume men must come home LATE? Na all these id.iotic ideologies dey make even the idle ones stay out drinking, gisting about Merci & Wizkid just to come home late.

Except there is really a mind-blowing incentive attached to staying out at night, I don't think I'd ever pray for a job that will keep me out till 10pm/11pm. Let's not forget that less than 10% of married naija men live in Lagos, so traffic is not an excuse.


Now to the Topic: eating together is a lovely thing to do. Starving yourself because hubby or wifey isn't around is wholesome (at least you can lose some weight and get thin).

oloyede252:
thank you.

oloyede252:
that the main POV of the op post.
chore equality in marriage and relationships.. what your thought about that.



about that stat,it was quoted in a new York times magazine article, you can Google it up

Kimoni:
Bukatyne said something similar to this. My question is why exempt cooking? Why must cooking alone be restricted to females?

kITATITA:
Naa, they are grown now and it gives me bragging right. The only area my wife has the upper hand is that she carried them in her womb. Apart from that, I was at the labour room and saw them before she did. Also gave the youngest his first meal and I never miss the opportunity to remind him.

Stillfire:
Did she marry a man with no last name or what? Why just ABA?

msmon:
I agree with u. It's funny to know that some families take it is so serious to the point that the wife won't take dinner if the circumstances warrant that.

msmon:
Spouses taking dinner together is a common act in a lot of families so much so that the wife will wait for the husband if he comes back very late in the day.

Is it a must spouses take dinner together?

Kindly share your thought.

babygirlfl:
Lol. Yes I am married and a mother and live in the UK. I try to leave my family out of nairaland as you know what these people can be like. In nairaland however, a week never goes by without someone telling me that I am not married. You won't see me argue this as it does not make sense.

Bukatyne, I have to join that your agency and make money through bookings and most importantly getting girls married to good men like francistony.

BABE3:
60% of my food are bland. No Maggi, no salt. I just eat for nutrients most of the time. It pays off though.

I'm becoming a vegetarian. I've successfully done away with meat and fish. I can't let go of milk and eggs just yet. By december, I should be a complete vegan.

My mother thinks I need deliverance.

coogaluta:
You wanna train a grown man who hasn't done all those things in his life to suddenly start? Good luck!


Even kids, who are supoosedly 'trainable' will just take you for a witch if you try all those things she mentioned with them.

Ideally, that's how things are supposed to be but in the real world

BABE3:
Lol.
I dey. I just read the thread as a guest nowadays. Don't want to bore people with my bland foods.

coogaluta:
I wish this was possible with men and kids

ebuka10box:
Lwkmd abeg ohhhh

BABE3:
who are the pigs? Men who think they shouldn't do chores coz they have a pènis.

abi o. Clean up after yourself (man, wife and kids).

- whoever wakes up last lays the bed.

-when you brush your teeth, wipe the sink. When you shave or comb your hair, wipe the sink clean.

-when you poop, flush and check the toilet bowl for any poop marks. If you find a poop mark, wipe it off.

-when you take a shower, rinse tiles/walls afterwards. Remove your hair strands from drainage thing before stepping out.

-if you see dirt on the floor pick it.

-if something isn't in its place, fix it.

-wash your clothes regularly so it doesn't pile up.

-wash your dishes as you drop them in the sink; no pilling up.

-whoever cooks, should wash the pots and utensils as they're cooking.

-if you see a dusty surface, grab a napkin to clean it.

......this way, there are no actual "chores", coz everything uses their commonsense and no one waits on anyone to do what's right.


I get time sha.

iamkingzlee:
Tanchuuu

BABE3:
We're at a crossroad. Do we stick to the old ways (husband-provider, wife-chores) or the new way (no/same roles) ?

The male gender wants the perks of the old ways (no chores), the female gender love the perks of the new way (half chore and financial independence).

The "husband-provider, wife-chores" model works in a household where only the man works full time. But in most households today, both man and wife work full time, so it's only fair they share the chores.

Plus, what hell is the big deal in cleaning up after yourself (man and woman) and cooking ?

I hear white men and AAs complain about this too, not only Africans. They complain that women don't do chores anymore. I smh.

If everyone just cleans up after themselves we wouldn't have this problem. It's that simple. Pigs!
