No one is supporting immodesty. Only saying it's unfair to blame it on the west 5minsmadness: On lagos-ore traffic. Network is horrible.
Notice how its majority of you ladies supporting the blatant nakednes5 of this woman, probably cos y'all think am being prudish. I'm not. I'm just trying yo exercise a little common sense here.
Who in their right minds will wear a gym suit to travel? A GYM SUIT What kind of yeye liberty is that? And yes even in my village young girls with full breasts still walk about in some remote areas but that doesnt mean cococandy or efemena will now decide to go topless in the city! Haba. Let's be honest for once. I would have taken her picture but that could have been a bad idea as in invasion of her privacy. And anyway we are not talking of a sweet sixteen here, I would place her at 30-40yrs. It was more of fermented eye cheese and not eye candy that we were being 'forced' to watch. |

Yes Arab culture. Not African culture. African culture includes nudity. Africa should pls stop corrupting other parts of the world with nudity. yousee: Call them hypocrites, call them fanatics, but you can't take their sense of modest dressing from them.
One of the good things I like about Muslims up North.
The Arab culture is still strong there. |

Don't mind them. This forum ehn? Every small thing. West this West that. Yada yada yada. Only someone who's not observant will go not noticing how much we are also affecting the West with our own culture.I don't see them whining and gripping about how African culture is affecting them. Cultures evolve. 5min make person hear word abeg. EfemenaXY: Good point.
When the colonial masters and missionaries came back (again) after the slavery era, they (especially the women) came ashore swapped in layers upon layers of hot clothing - as per their Victorian ways of dressings.
A quick look at some of the late 19th century pictures snapped with their pin-hole cameras reveals the Africans in the villages were running around bu.tt n.aked.
Even more n.a.ke.d than the poor lady 5minmadness couldn't stop og.ling at, at the bus stop. |

Some parts of Africa have nuude breats exhibitions as part of their culture. Nigerian culture for most parts include half dressing,skimpy wraps et al as the core of our dressing. The West brought cloths to us because they saw us as naked African gorrillas.
Now you're saying they are the ones who introduced us to nudity? Be serious pls.
If you're talking about. Our identity as Africans,half nude is one part of it.what you're actually doing is asking us to throw away our culture as Africans and embrace prim and proper dressing which used to be Western culture. |
Family › Re: How The West Corrodes Our Morality by cococandy(f): 9:23am On Oct 25, 2014 |
@5minmadness the fact is that the West didn't corrupt us in that regard. It is actually the other way round. African culture is that of unclothedness or half clad kind of dressing if I may call it that.
We are the ones who exported unclothedness to the West while they brought their prim and proper kind of dressing to us. Now the west is more African than Africans in terms of unclothedness while we are forming more Western than the West by trying to enforce prim and proper dressing.
Enough of blaming them for everything that goes wrong with our society.
Eesh. |

What if they poison the baby  Emmalot121: The solutions are extended family and polygamy. Women expectially in the west(muslims) are tapping into the immense freedom these two give. Just imagine you giving birth to a child and after weaning, there are already five people willing to care for the child. You can travel for months because your husband does not depend on your wifely duties. Think about it and give me your reply. Carefreewannabe, cococandy, what's your take? These are simply few of our lost african treasures, which we are consequently feeling the effects. These are the cheap ways to female freedom, which is easily available to you, yet you pay for it under feminism. |

Spot on Kimoni: Can it be averted? Can you ever be happy with someone that is killing your goals in life?
Imagine if your father stopped you from furthering your education in order to take care of him in his old age? You were top in ur class and always wanted to be a medical doctor. Can the frustration within you be averted especially when you have classmates who also have aged fathers and were able to agree alternative arrangements with them, but ur own father refused to work anything out and insist you must stop school as his time on earth is very limited.
How would you feel? Remember he seems to have very valid reasons. |

Maybe she tried reasoning with the man and it fell on deaf ears. Who knows? Is It not in this same family section that we read of various helpless women who can't get away from husbands who abuse,beat and cheat on them simply becasue they have no financial backing to stand on their feet. At those times we blame them for agreeing to be stay home moms forgetting that if they refused to quit their jobs,we would still blame them for not being submissive to the leader of the home. The quit-your-job-i-will-start-a-business-for-you thing doesn't work for everyone. He may not live up to his words or even if he does,she may not know how to run a business. So she's taking the way out she knows. Selfish? Maybe. I don't know. But I WON'T judge her until I walk a mile in her shoes. Who wants to live with someone who like to force their decision on them? Ceasar1: The woman in the background is utterly self centered. She clearly doesn't give a damn about her family. Not even for a second.
I'm not saying she should give up her Job, but her readiness to opt for a divorce speaks alot. |

TV01: I meant a different panel of how ever many for each individual issue.
that may be complicated.how will it work? Say when a couple bring their issue of the moment to the thread,we vote to decide who the advisers for that particular case will be? Well I don't know... Seems not so easy
If it's open season for contributions, how is it any different from what normally obtains?
difference is the two sides of the story will be heard this time around (unlike before) and posters can see for themselves who's actually wrong or not

I'm sure the man knew who he married before he married her. He saw her love for career but felt he could change her. Wrong. There's no way every woman out there will be the baby-birthing-and-nurturing-career-sacrificing kind of person. I'll advice the men to go for their kind of woman. If you don't like career women,don't marry one and then turn around to force her to quit her job. Some women are fine with being stay home moms,some are not. It's a BIG wide world.
We shouldn't expect everyone to have the same plans and goals for their lives. |

I'm with him. Why should there be a set of formal advisers?that's basically saying everyone else is shut out from trying to help. Besides even the best of advisers on this forum have their 'not so good' days. Same as the trolls have their amazingly sensible days. If the couple can't sift chaff from wheat? Tough luck I say.

I get this part. Well since it's now clear that it's not for everyone, I guess it is settled then. maclatunji: It is not for everyone. I am thinking there might be mature couples who might be willing to use this platform; thare are times when a couple just need a little external help to sort them out and then they will be like: "what were we even fighting for?".
Those are the kind of people I am thinking would find this interesting. |

How many folks have spouses on NL? And where they already aren't, how many will agree to become members just because they want to be heard too. I don't see an arrogant person who abuses their partner having the humility to answer the summons of the other person on a public forum to air their side of the story.
But... It is still worth the try |

They include 612 Muslim divorcees (Zawarawa), 76 Muslim Spinsters...
Divorcees in Muslim communities of mostly young ladies in their late twenties is too much ... all over the world muslim communities need to take a proper look at this...
the practice of marrying a girl at a very young age (child/teen bride) and divorcing her in late 20s for another younger girl (child bride/bride) need to stop..
just only 76 spinsters .... but 612 divorcees.. |
