you admit that you misrepresented what I stand for in your previous post.
So you don’t support strict social norms (aka strict traditional gender roles etc) that’s the misrepresentation I’m making?

Just to be clear.

Obviously it’s been too long ago and I’m not about to go start digging up specific posts to prove to you that you support strict social norms when you’re actually saying it yourself in the moment.

Okay I’m not a Christian by your assessment. And you are. So you’ll leave it to the almighty judge? Inukwa repent. Okay assistant Jesus

@bold the fact that you would somehow even insinuate that there’s anything remotely to be ashamed of if one doesn’t identify as Christian is the self righteousness that makes my skin crawl. Like ick
bukatyne:
So every time a person rides on a post engaging you, they are referring to you or looping you in their post? I like the level of self-importance in display. Are you the person referenced in the OP because I directed my post to the question asked. If you are, confess, let us help you.

Better Christian compared to who? You? You are not a Christian. It is not an insult; it is a statement of fact. If someone reads my posts and comes to the natural conclusion that I am not a Muslem or traditionalist or feminist or Igbo, it is a statement of fact.

Except if you do one thing in your closet and say something else on NL which means you are ashamed of Christ and deliberately leading people astray which is another problem.

The Bible is clear: by their fruits you shall know them. Your fruit (which is your posts on NL) tells me you are not. As I have said earlier, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

And if you claim to be a Christian, then review your posts/ opinions on topics on NL and repent.

You will give account of every post on NL.

I am still waiting for those receipts or you admit that you misrepresented what I stand for in your previous post.

Mmm. So you quipped in with your snippy comeback to a post that efficience directed at me and you don’t know what it has to do with me. Sneaky lil thing. grin

Since you’re such a better Christian, why not let God have the final say? I mean your Bible does say that. And Jesus himself describes your type perfectly too. I know you see those verses when you read it. If you do read it.

If you’re such a champion for marital sanctity, you should be very vocal about the disgusting things the Christian men on here post about marriage and how they treat their wives. But they won’t see you a good woman if you do and that’s more important to you.
bukatyne:
1. I said your experience and not your personal experience. I also said my experience. However you got that experience (books, patients, relatives, neighbours etc) is inconsequential.

2. This is cracking me up. Are you the OP? Come out and let's give you advice. cheesy Efficien. cie made a post I agreed with and I quoted the part relevant to me to address the OP. If you are not the OP, I honestly do not see how my post concerns you.

3. I gave a summary of what forms my 'naive' posts and you think it is tackling you again. Seems you dreamt of me this afternoon. Abeg send me meatpies and puffpuff. Since you mention Christianity, let me address this: you are not a Christian. You are struggling not to identify as one; I don't know why. Why did I state you are not a Christian? By your fruits (posts) here. You support things that God has stated is an abomination; you support Nigerian women doing wrong things because 'it is in retaliation to men'; you do not uphold the sanctity that the Biblical marriage has. You shy away from supporting the Biblical model of marriage and lifestyle. Nobody would read your posts and think you are a Christian. I do not know why you are struggling to dissociate yourself from Christianity; perhaps it is your conscience or the Holy Spirit still trying to convict you. To be honest, you cannot please the world & God. You need to choose one and be proud of it.


4. From the little you know about me, you should know I love receipts. Quote the post (not out of context) here. I have written epistles dissing fathers who think their role stops at financial provision. I have addressed several posters who think only women should do chores. Bring the receipts, don't speculate.

5. Back to point 4. Bring receipts where I stick to strict social norms. I don't stick to strict gender roles in my home so why would I preach it here when I know I would account for every post here as a Christian?

Waiting for receipts o! It makes the posts sweeter.

Yes it’s totally ONLY my own personal experience because the world I live in only consists of my immediate surroundings. Nothing to do with anything I’ve seen or read happen to others. All the thousands of patients I care for in year in year out, are my personal experience.

Don’t get snippy when you tried to chime in (on a post that wasn’t responding to you anyway) with a haughty attitude and get called out for it. Just say you don’t see anything beyond 3 feet from your face and call it a day.

Christian faith. Me I’m a Buddhist I suppose

Edited. I seem to recall a post where you were saying men who find a traditional wife that doesn’t expect them to do caregiving duties are lucky. I don’t recall the exact text but it’s something along the lines of he who finds a wife that plays her part and doesn’t expect such does not know how blessed he is.

You don’t see how those uber strict social norms can contribute to a society where sick women get left because they can no longer be the primary care giver as the men aren’t adequately prepared to function in such roles?

bukatyne:
When DJ Cuppy tells us that her daddy flew her from UK to Italy for a cone of ice-cream, it sounds strange to me because my papa nor get that kind money. I would however not dismiss her experience.

The fact you are surrounded by evil men doing women dirty or you have never seen a good man doesn't mean it is my experience.

I have seen really good men (nobody is perfect) do all they can to make their wives and children happy. I have seen men really respect and uphold the sanctity of marriage. I have seen men give wives second chances that wives might not give their husbands. I have also seen the not so good and the ugly.

So ma'am, leave me with my 'naive' posts borne out of my experience, my Christian faith and my personality while you continue to post your complex and nuanced ones borne out of your own experience.

Thank you.

Romance › Re: Is It Proper To Ask A Girl You Want To Marry If She Committed Abortion Before? by cococandy(f): 12:35pm On Apr 17, 2023
@bold, How do you know?
BeStroNG:
Man got to be wary with the way things are. No man would want to marry a woman who had destroyed her womb via abortion. Some girls have committed more than 5 abortion and may have destroyed their womb in the process. Imagine getting married to such a lady. If the womb is intact and the man is fertile, pregnancy cannot be an issue.

I'm trying to take that bold step by asking her if she had committed abortion before.

What do you think guys? Is it going to bring "wahala"?

Should I ask her or not?

efficiencie:
I don't see how you could deduce that I am inferring that more men lack the qualities I listed or that the woman gave the man a chance - which chance? Your conclusion does not logically follow from the premises you culled from my statement. I am not debating your so called facts even though overall, women are more likely to initiate a divorce than the man. My point is that men and women are complicit in the disaster that happens to them. Women prioritize financial security and physical attributes in their choice of a spouse while men prioritize physical attributes and sexual gratification in their choice of a spouse. Most men and women end up incentivizing bad men and bad women by gratifying them maritally. If all ladies agree never the marry a man for financial security or physical attributes but rather seek piety, purpose, leadership, selflessness and character I assure you that most bad men would be weeded out of the gene pool. Also if all men refuse to marry ladies that falter in piety, purpose, submissiveness, loyalty and sexual purity such women would be weeded out of the gene pool as well and generations later humanity can be proud of their ancestors and the decisions that made towards creating a perfected human race. However, this is not the case as most women love bad men that have money and look good while most men love bad women who have great physique and can perform signs and wonders in bed.

I knew about this line of thinking way before I got married and to GOD be the glory I have never regretted my marital choice. If couples make the right marital choices we won't have anyone asking the question that the OP asked.
It’s illogical to think that everyone whose spouse left them when they were ill must have been complicit by choosing the wrong person when in fact some of them were married over decades together and then their illness happened and they saw the person they married couldn’t handle the situation.

This is happening in such high volume you don’t think the problem is the way we are raising men to shy away from care giving? Calling it feminine to expect caregiving from men. You think the real problem is with the women choosing them? Following that logic no Nigerian man should be chosen because in that same situation, most of you would definitely leave. Apply this logic y’all claim to have.

bukatyne:
@bold and 2nd paragraph:

Very well said.

People should stop marrying foolish spouses so they stop asking foolish questions.
You don’t hesitate to add naive and reductive comments to posts that require more complex and nuanced takes. I’ve seen sick wives of decades who get left at the diagnosis of a terminal illness (some husbands too). Through those decades they built together, unlike what Efficience is implying some of them got married in their 20s as college sweethearts so definitely no gold digging involved. And 20-30 years later they get left in their 40s and 50s because they got a debilitating diagnosis.

You think they are at fault because they should have known 20-30 years ago what their spouse was going to do decades in the future.

Middle age will come for us all. I’m in my early 30s now. I’m humble enough to look at women in their 50s (even 60s) being continually done dirty and recognize they used to once be like me, young and assuming they know it all and have made all the perfect choices. This is not in any way to promote a pessimistic outlook on life but to recognize that I don’t know what I don’t know.

The haughtiness of assuming all those people made the wrong choices and we are the only ones who have it figured out.

DKM123:
I laugh wholeheartedly when I see this people crying that women only marry them cos they have money and I wonder if it's the same Nigeria where 140million are multidimensionally POOR and the rest are just barely surviving with the basics leaving less than 1 percent as rich. Yet every Saturday this men are getting married to the same Nigerian woman they say only marry rich men. Hahahaha. Where are the rich men, biko?

This same men will DUMP thier wives for another woman or cheat the h#ll out of their wife's life when they manage to hit small money and then you come on Nairaland to defend the man. Only you think men should have the privilege to cheat and still you that is crying that the man shouldn't be the provider. That's by the way.

In any case, since when did choosing money over poverty become a crime to Nigerian men? This same men that are PROUDLY saying they can't marry a broke woman but are under the same breath swearing for women who do not go for broke men. Aren't you all "gold digging" abi aluminium digging cos most Nigerians no kuku get silver talkless of gold ? This same men will pick thier sister and daughters marrying a senator over a 30k salary earning teacher o. Hypocrite much....

If this men didn't like money, we wouldn't have this many yahoo boys and fraudsters defrauding thier bosses and even going to the length to k!ll thier fellow humans for money. So everyone prefers money to poverty, abi?


Marriage is dead, and may it remain so. Let everyone go and be hustling this money instead of bringing in innocent kids into the toxicity they call Nigerian
marriages. Men can marry men so they can be happy and women marry women so they can stop "aluminium digging" men. Make everybody kuku rest from this marriage.

I used a pot and new soil but I didn’t know about the cinnamon and Epsom salt trick. I will do that

Lavender does seem to mimic rosemary and I used to have numerous problems keeping both alive. My first question is did you plant this year’s lavender in the same kind of soil as last year’s? My first suggestion is to transplant it into a different type of soil—cut off any brown or gray parts, shake the existing soil loose from the roots, sprinkle a liberal amount of cinnamon on the roots (fungus loves at attack lavender) and plant it into a different pot with different soil, adding in about a fourth teaspoon of Epson salt. When you water it once weekly, water it indirectly—pour the water into the sides of the pot away from the plant, and put it indirect sunlight. Lavender plants are finicky and unlike other plants, like being left alone. Please let me know how it works out for you.

You’re traditional that’s awesome: they still won’t respect you for it though.

If you’re a feminist you’re evil. If you’re a traditional woman who expects the men to play the role they’ve assigned themselves traditionally, they’ll mock, insult and belittle you for that expectation as well.

Just Believe the truth you want to not because it’s something your expected to believe.

This forum is a misogyny cesspit
nairalanda1:
Marriage is not dead, and let's stop these kind of articles on Nairaland.

The truth of the matter is that when it comes to marriage, Nairaland has turned it into war between men and women. Indeed it has become so disgusting that I wonder if I am in another world.

When I look at the life of myself and my friends, I wonder if we live in a different world from the world of most Nairalanders, a world where men are stingy and women think only about money. Where men have sidechicks, and women have babies for other men and pass it off on their boyfriends.

The OAP is (I apologise to the mods beforehand) talking a load of rubbish. You need money in a marriage. You need to pay school fees, need to pay for food, need to pay for car maintenance, and new car, house rent or mortgage fees, clothes for the children, furniture, repairs, even bedsheet. So, why won't women and men be looking for money. Is looking for money a sign that one is greedy or a sign that one needs to pay school fees before 3 pm tomorrow or else little Elsa would be kicked out of school for fees?

Are not men's relations too looking for money as well, and putting pressure on family.

Women are suffering too much on this site, and so also are men. And on this thread, women too are suffering. Yes, GOD knows there are materailistic women. God knows that. But when a woman needs money, is it for materialism all the time? Yet these online heroes think that when a woman asks for money, it is because she is being greedy.

Honestly, I am a very conservative person. I believe a man is the head of the house, and all that, but this nonsense that is being propagated on this site everyday just because of the bad habits of a few women needs to effing stop. And let's be frank, for every materialistic woman, there are 9 women who put their families and others first...yet on Nairaland, every woman is evil and conniving apparently.

All for clicks.

Abeg, call me SIMP, I no send you. You cannot be here abusing women and tomorrow, begging woman to marry you. Or abusing women, and forgetting your mother too , sisters too are women.

If you think women are after you for money, just go and marry yourself, or another man. Stop disturbing us here. After all it is acceptable these days.

Seun, enough is enough.

Make people laugh at me, this man does not care.

However, Do you know anything about keeping lavender alive? Mine are dying. I’ve tried switching between watering and not watering too much. Took them Indoors and then Outdoors. Every garden video on the internet says something different but they all agree that lavender is hardy like rosemary and will survive anything. My rosemary bush from last year is thriving. why is my lavender dying? 😭😭😭

Here’s my pea bush and recent harvest. It’s still has so many pea pods. The more you harvest, the more pods come in.

Why would any lady marry a man that will divorce her if she is terminally ill? Well probably because she's marrying for money and comfort and not looking out for character, leadership, purity, piety and selflessness.
You’re indirectly saying a great many men lack these qualities because the study is up there for you to see. This is not anecdotal. Evidence shows that among the spouses who dump their other half during an illness, a greater percentage are men.

Maybe instead of doing that slimy about face that y’all do when you’re supposed to face facts, maybe ask your fellow men why they take vows saying in sickness and in health with absolutely no intentions of keeping it.

I’m certain you’re no different. The fact that you’re trying to blame the woman for giving the man a chance tells me you’re not different.
