Also for years women in Igbo land were not allowed to inherit property till one woman sued till she got to supreme court.
The Supreme Court has voided the Igbo law and custom, which forbid a female from inheriting her late father’s estate, on the grounds that it is discriminatory and conflicts with the provision of the constitution.

The court held that the practice conflicted with section 42(1)(a) and (2) of the 1999 Constitution. The judgment was on the appeal marked: SC.224/2004 filed by Mrs. Lois Chituru Ukeje (wife of the late Lazarus Ogbonna Ukeje) and their son, Enyinnaya Lazarus Ukeje against Mrs. Cladys Ada Ukeje (the deceased’s daughter).

Cladys had sued the deceased’s wife and son before the Lagos High Court, claiming to be one of the deceased’s children and sought to be included among those to administer their deceased’s father’s estate.

The trial court found that he was a daughter to the deceased and that she was qualified to benefit from the estate of their father who died intestate in Lagos in1981.

Rights are not dashed, even in America and other developed nations they were fought for hence the feminist movement we all insult and misinterprete on nairaland today.

Who cares? People marry for different reason. There are women who marry old rich men for their money and their are also young guys who marry old women for money and other benefits. As long as both the couple are adults and are happy with their arrangements people should mind their business

your curiosity right.......don't forget curiosity killed the cat....Lolz,just joking. well I wasn't curious but they were curious for me, my dreams tell it......and I begin to look into that light, and I begin to discover things, strange things I don't want to talk about., but one thing that will grant you quick entrance and power into that world is the purity of your soul and mind.

Cocoa-candy abi butter is the type of woman that answers "sir" to the snoring sound of her sleeping husband.

But she is a tiger online.


She is a good story teller thou.

At the end, men still hold the ace.

TV01:
I wasn't making that point. Just that both males and females have windows, and we should be aware and aim for as close an overlap as possible for best results



Ok



Not if you consider fertility, conception, gestation and delivery. There are potential risks and problems at every stage.



"Better with age" probably comes to bear on nurture as opposed to procreation. And older fathers usually possess the exact same age related improvements as older mothers.

not every1 can afford polygamy.

TV01:
I wasn't arguing for or against. I plainly stated I hadn't been aware of that fact?

lol. I meant I wasn't arguing against your point that older men have a bigger window of opportunity.

Which is the point I made, older woman - yonger man couples are relatively few??

and I agreed with you.

The fact that "eggs" are not "aged" as such and sperm are, is not the whole story in procreation.

almost the whole. But not the whole story


As per my post above, age in women is about capability/fertility, in men it seems to be more about quality

agreed to an extent. Asides from fertility issues women generally get better with age too. personality wise. Everyone does. Life humbles us all.


And that's perfectly fine and understood, but the two work in tandem, and for a reason !

Cococandy confused?

but wait, all of a sudden Chika - Ike turns to a multi millionaire...does she have any endorsement we dont know about?

Tallesty1:
With the way your mind is programmed, I doubt if you will ever see the positive side of people's opinion on issues concerning marriage.


BTW what I meant is that he should make up his mind and chose to either wait like she said or call off the marriage.

Brainwashed Christians like her are not good material after all

TV01:
We all know that men also have a "window of opportunity when it comes to marriage and childbirth. Although I hadn't actually heard the above before - but assuming it's true - all the more reason for men and women to consider and engage marriage in a timely fashion.

One thing though, what is the proportion of "older female - younger male" couples (and I don't mean a relatively small age gap)? A rather small percentage I'd wager - and even smaller when you think in terms of "marriages/real committed relationships".

Cougars feeling funky are hardly likely to be in permanent/long-term relationships with children in view. It's more likely the young bobo has his fill of her and then finds himself a nubile young filly to procreate with .

@cococandy
How dare you call submissive women zombies


Seriously though, I think the term 'submission' is being severely misinterpreted these days. Nobody is asking the wife to be a mindless zombie, however in every team there must be a leader, someone who has the final say. This is the role the husband plays, the leader, the tiebreaker, the one with the final word. That's all.
