FamilyRe: View Point: Feminism Threatens Marriage And Family Values. by Callfubu(m): 10:07am On Dec 15, 2014
Kay17:
It is an inherent vice of human beings to exploit the weak. And I see no advantage or good thing in being weak. One should be strong and tough otherwise life blows you away. For me powerlessness is the root of all evils. So whatever culture subjects a woman to a man, weakens the woman and renders her vulnerable.

If you see marriage as a beautiful thing, then divorce is an evil to you. If others see marriage as a bondage or an abuse, then a divorce is gracious exit. So divorces are perspective based.

Divorce regimes I know in the West favour an equitable distribution of property because women are always worse off in marriages. Their careers tend to die off, they become too dependent on their spouses. So it appears unfair to throw them out of marriages in penury because they committed their futures to their spouses. I think if divorces were stricter and tougher in terms against women, the better. At least that would discourage women from jumping into marriages.
In terms of perspective "weaker" doesn't always mean powerlessness. Generally, women might not be physically or mentally strong to handle daunting and very stressful tasks, and feminism is not going to change that in a gazillion years but they are strong enough to hold a man down, support him in all his endeavors, groom and train the children, take care of her man and the house. All these tasks might seem like they are easy, but in truth they actually are not, because majority of men can't do these things. That's why we need women who are help meet and are "STRONG" in that area to come and show their strength. In truth if women are advocating for equal rights which I feel they already have but want more, they wouldn't still be able to cope. They will have to have same toilets with men, play sports together, be in politics equally and in the right proportion etc.
RomanceRe: You Are Worthy! 7 Things You Should Never Tolerate In A Relationship/ Marriage by Callfubu(m): 9:23am On Dec 15, 2014
Why didn't the OP say the thread was for women only? Are you sure she isn't a feminist? Tho they are all true but the ways she suggested they be handled is mostly absurd.
FamilyRe: View Point: Feminism Threatens Marriage And Family Values. by Callfubu(m): 6:49am On Dec 14, 2014

But they do have a source of grievance. Marriage as an institution imposes unfair terms on women. Nobody wants to be enslaved or be inferior to other humans. Our sense of justice rejects arguments that a man is more worthy of an individual than a woman.
if it were Nigerian or African women that were at the pole front of the whole feminism thing, it would be "somewhat" justified because asides from religious sentiments regarding the position of women, our cultures also subjects them too. Because women are subject to men is not a bad thing in itself, it that men take advantage of it is what is bad. But the whites that keep advocating for these useless propaganda all have it good. Their law favors women a lot, especially during a divorce. which is not the same case in Nigeria or Africa as it were.
FamilyRe: View Point: Feminism Threatens Marriage And Family Values. by Callfubu(m): 5:21pm On Dec 13, 2014
FACTS: Men are head of homes, there can't be two captains in a ship.
MY OPINION: I believe women should be treated with love care and respect because of all they go through. For me? I pray to God to give me the strength to love my wife unconditionally regardless. But the problem here is these specific women calling themselves feminist feel threatened and oppressed by the facts. But madams no be by force to marry, if you feel oppressed, don't marry or create your own company where you are boss and you can decide to hire whomever you want. Trying to show men that you want equality because you don't want to be termed "weaker sex". As a man I believe the women are the stronger sex of sorts, because of all they have to go through, they don't have to laud it over the men they just have to show them. Anyways I rest my case despite the many points to be said
PoliticsRe: Buhari Declares His Assets On Facebook by Callfubu(m): 12:11pm On Dec 13, 2014
The general is just trying to gain empathy from Nigerians but is going about it the wrong way. Nigerians will not respond to such calls that they can't actually verify. Moreover, stating all these things instead of a solid manifesto about what he plans to do, is that a Lil farfetched and desperate?!!

the implication is that if you increase the internal storage of your phone to 5GB............then 5GB will be removed from your internal inbuilt I.e ext. Sd carD which is 16GB will now be 11GB
Its give something to gain something rule.
OK, can you do it? and how much will it cost?

use titanium back up or rom tool box this is as a result of your internal storage being full(not to be mistaken as Ext. SD card) anyway am working on a. 4.4.22 kitkat rom and I will increase the internal storage from 1gb to 4GB.
I'm facing same problems. when I went to fix the tab at carlcare they helped me upgrade but I started facing this issue. how do you go about increasing the internal storage. what is the cost implication
RomanceRe: Our Pastor Sided Him For "Punishing Me After Marriage" by Callfubu(m): 6:23pm On Dec 08, 2014
AKMoney1:
Why is everyone blaming the husband? Did you guys read the first part of the story where she clearly stated that she used him to have a good lunch, dinner or whenever she just feel like going to the cinema, that the guy never disappointed her? For good 3 years she played and milked him like wtf? How many guys can stand that? To the ladies if ur brother is in such courtship what will be your reaction?

Still yet the guy didn't give up and went ahead to marry her but only for the girl to start misbehaving on the very night of their wedding. Why won't you wanna bath with/for ur hubby? She even tried to resist the sex on their wedding night, come on we all have blood in our veins na and this guy has spent a fortune up till that moment. And even after the sex he realized she was a virgin and might be hurt, he bought her a car to compensate her. But ordinary kiss she can't give her hubby as a thank you.

Even though abusing her sexually is not the best option but what if he was beating her?

None of you guys here is saint enough to call him a beast except you pray to be treated the way she treated him while courting or you want your brother to be treated thus.

As for the lady in question, my advice for you is to beg him and change to a loving wife he wants you to be. Not always about sex, show him love and affections and if it's sex give him he's your husband.
True this.. If this story has any inkling of truth, I'll suggest to OP to go watch Game of Thrones (season 1) and see how Khaleesi handled Khal Drogo during their marriage
CelebritiesRe: Linda Ikeji Buys Dress For N1m At Future Awards Charity Auction To Fight Ebola by Callfubu(m): 5:51pm On Dec 08, 2014
Francon:
Hian... Cloth for N1m? How is she gonna wear it? With the price tag? Will she need to take it to a dry cleaner? How about when the cloth tear/cut? Will she get a refund? How many years does d dress guarantee her? If none of these answers are positive, then it is as useless as "Kris cream" in B29 washing soap!!!
she didn't buy it because of all that. the dress is trash for all she cares, the money is not value returned for the dress, the money is for the fight against Ebola campaign. This is how the rich live, when u get there you'll understand better

Thanks but I tried making him give me definite answer, he began to talk as if I'm lying and pressurizing him to get married to me.
well I wanted to advise that, but clearly it has backfired. but you size up a suitor you would like and start dating *no sex of course* then see how it goes also don't forget to put it in prayers so you are blinded by affluence or show of emotion from your suitors. or better still lemme refer you to someone I think can be of immense help to you. check out soulties.com or follow @soulties on twitter
FamilyRe: How To Tolerate Cheating Husband. by Callfubu(m): 11:25am On Nov 19, 2014
Chiefpriest1:
There are basically three kinds of cheats, the serial cheat, the occasional cheat and those who stray once in a while. More than 95per cent of nigerian husbands would fall into this category at a point in their life.

Your decision would be informed by the category he falls, but I want to believe he just strayed since this is the first time you ve 'caught' him.

Matters like this require patience. Some kids who have never had a relationship talk more of getting married will soon be here to advice you to divorce your husband. Fact is that most men cheat and many of those who are not cheating probably havent had the chance.

Depending on the kind of man you married (you know him better than everyone here), I guess what you should do is to have a heart to heart talk with him. Dont be confrontational.

Ask him if hes willing to swap his happy family with whatever pleasure he's getting outside.

Appeal to his emotions without being judgmental. The intention is to break him, make him 'confess' , apologise and promise that it wont happen again.

If he does this, forgive him and try forgetting, though it might be difficult. If you see him as your last bus stop, you ll do everything to make the marriage work.

I am not advising you to start asking yourself unnecessary questions, but you might need to check if you haven't shifted attention from your husband to your children.

Women tend to do that alot, forgetting that they met the man first before the kids started coming(marriage counsellors know this).

Whatever it is, dont hate him, dont get violent. Dont let the devil take charge. He ll come around and things Will be normal again.
azzin you cover everywhere finish, i can't add or subtract. Are you sure you are not a marriage counsellor?

Just like he did, the last time by hook or crook. moreover there is no viable candidates in the likes of Akpabio and Fashola to contest against him.

BusinessRe: Hausa Ajami/Arabic Inscriptions Removed From New N100 Note by Callfubu(m): 7:11am On Nov 18, 2014
vedaxcool:
Myopic people indeed, well stated, what is wrong accommodating other people? How has removing this change your life? Jonathan is playing politics with myopic Christians who would feel they have won some sort of victory, while him and his cronies continue ruing the economy implicitly or explicitly. When people think illiterates are the only one manipulable by religion we fail to the see the fact that myopic literates fare no better!
and you guys just keep using the word 'myopic' like you are an elder sitting down and able to see what a child(jonathan) cannot see. this is not a victory of any sort to the christians, if you think the actual reason for the arabic inscriptions on the note is for the northerners to be able to read the note, then it you who is myopic. Have you gone to the north before? they call the notes with english or hausa not arabic because money is important and they have to learn it. would we also say that part or most of our constitution that was created with islam in mind was because of one flimsy excuse or the other? Arabic is the language of Islam which is a religion, and its not meant to be on any of our notes, or would support they start putting inscriptions from the bible or whatever religion is out there?

PoliticsRe: Why We Refused To Sell Cobra Helicopters To Nigeria - US by Callfubu(m): 10:23pm On Nov 15, 2014
DaBullIT:
Your argument makes no sense Bro. Unlike Nigeria where people take pride in Aluu4 ,jungle justice , where human life and human right means nothing to anyone The US actually cares about safety and lives of its citizens and human right . Soldiers signed waivers during training and they get paid for the risks. Human rights watch did not complain about soldiers violating the rights of terrorists they complained about soldiers murdering innocent people .like a video where a man in military fatigue beheaded 6 suspected terrorists with his cutlass and they put them in a mass grave

Operating some weapons is not just load and cock and aim. Command bases , video streaming of live events , military satelites and every other factors work together for decision making in advanced countries . Also Most aeronautic engineers are mostly engineers by degree not by experience , What's the problem with Nigeria ? Maintenance culture. You buy you use you abandon . Furthermore if some members of the Nigerian army came out to say they cant shoot their brothers in Islam and they happily handed over weapons and armored tanks. That jet in the wrong hands is a disaster for Nigeria as a whole


I guess my point is that the USA has the moral and psychological obligation not to provide a weapon of mini mass destruction to Nigeria as long as barbarians are still in charge , and as long as soldiers are defecting to boko haram camps .
need I say more?

RomanceRe: Dating Your Cousin: Is It Ethical? by Callfubu(m): 6:55pm On Nov 13, 2014
Cousin simply means they are related in some way, either close or distant which automatically makes the person your brother/sister. Asides from that your parents could adopt a child and you guys grow to love each other, it will still be awkward because such person is considered family. I guess what I'm saying is that it's wrong not because there is a law against it directly but like you said "ethically"

This story has landed here? I read it on Bella naija. U need to see the hilarious comments there. I truly commend ladies 4 keeping their virginities but I found this vision story ridiculous. So as a christian, her vision told her she would marry a muslim? O.k. Im hoping her husband is the liberal type and 2nd wife wont appear frm nowhere. After 5-10 yrs then she can come back and talk. And by the way, all these details about the wedding night are totally unnecessary. I guess she is the type that fantasizes a lot. She is still in the euphoria phase. She strikes me as a naive lady with no knowledge of experience.
well Virgins are supposed to be naive with no knowledge of experience

The fact that you can reach thousands of people with a tweet while you have maybe 100 followers is also what makes it amazing..

Sophyrocks:
That was why i said she should keep her expectations low and feel free to drive the cars. That is if she can drive. With the way people are bragging like there is no tomorrow, who are the men buying their girlfriends cars? Ghosts? If a man is financially bouyant to do so, anything wrong with that? people are making mouth as if there is something wrong with that. How about married men buying cars for their mistresses? Mistresses that are wh0res!! Its only in naija mistresses are dignified more than wives with many men doing so many things for them that they cannot do for their wives. Kmt. Abeg buying car for girlfriend no be new thing. If a relationship has good foundation and a man can afford to buy his girl a car, he will buy it.
true, if he is financially buoyant and wants to do it, ofcourse he can go ahead. Maybe I sounding like a broke nigga, but I know my hustle and I know that only a wifey deserves such gifts, buying a phone for my girl is cool, but a car is a little far-fetched for me #JustMy2cents
RomanceRe: My Man Has Two Cars, I Trek Around, Isn't This Selfisness? by Callfubu(m): 10:29am On Nov 08, 2014
A car in this context is a liability, if you as his girlfriend is also a liability i.e can't maintain the car, then what's the point? If you are asset on the other hand and can fuel and fix the car with your money when needed, good. But what's the point when you are not married to him and he didn't buy the car in your name, meaning after that much of your money on repairs would vanish if you guys decide to break up and he decides to take his property back

Which man will have two cars and won't allow his girlfriend to use any if she needs to? I hhave a cousin whose fiance has a jeep and she drives this jeep around. Except their relationship has a faulty foundation and the man doesnt really value her. Abeg leave all these people to brag up and down. Even some here that are married shamelessly buy their mistresses cars and furnish houses for them. Let them say that they are not financially bouyant to buy a car for their girlfriends then we will understand their bragging. The Op should just focus on things that matter abeg. I am sure her man wouldnt stop her from using the cars.
Just incase you didn't understand the OP well, she said and I quote "isn't he supposed to give me one?". She means her man should give her one of his cars as a gift of some sort not him letting her drive it when she needs to. I can let my girl drive mine when she needs to, but not give her a car until I marry her

What kind of reasoning is this one? Concerned about getting the ring, you say? So a lady is supposed to work to get the friggin ring? Y'all must think having mrs attached to one's name is a woman's sole purpose on earth.
In this particular case, the ring is metaphorical, meaning she should be more concerned with knowing if I love her to the extent of wanting to marry her or she is just fulfilling all righteousness in my life, what will she profit when I give her a car to up her status and eventually take the car back when ww break up. At that stage I'll just be a heartless man to her
