None of these are 'facts'. Perhaps if all the men you encounter are unfaithful, you should check your space. when2: For you to come to nairaland to seek advise from women haters shows that you are not ready to settle down. Besides its a well known fact that men are unfaithful in marriage than women. Besides i don't think you are a saint. |

Well if the guy uses the aggregate marriage data, about 50% of marriages end in divorce. In the US, 70% of those divorces are initiated by the wives. So what should he take out of that? The divorce stats are very low in Nigeria, 0.2 % but that is because most people do not go through the cost of legally getting unmarried. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/10/the-rate-of-divorce-in-nigeria-latest-statistics/#:~:text=In%20one%20of%20their%20materials,the%20National%20Bureau%20of%20Statistics. KossyKiss97: Icebird.... either isnt very smart, or is smart but just chose to be myopic. I say this because its rather unfortunate that he wants to debate on a very wide topic such as marriage, but limited it to just Duncan mighty's marriage. Is he the only married person in the entire universe?
There are SO MANY PEOPLE out there who are having wonderful marriages. Why dont you also observe such people, instead of channeling your energy and efforts on those who haven't really succeeded in the institution.
Its important to understand that marriage involves both parties putting in effort to make it work; afterall, nothing good comes easy. It's not entirely up to the woman to make the marriage work as your write up makes it seem. You need to remove these sentiments from your mind before you get married, else, your marriage won't be different from the example you gave above. |

Just to clarify, should he, we, expect to be cheated on in marriage? AuntRose: You can't handle being cheated on? So you completely rule out the possibility of you cheating on your wife. You won't be taken serious one bit if this stereotype you have towards women persists. Change it first.
You're saying trash... Why the hatred towards women by NL guys? It's so annoying and disgusting  |
Health › Engaging And Mentoring Nigerian Youth In The Fight Against Sickle Cell Anemia by cooooooks(op): 3:03pm On Dec 06, 2020 |
https://yali.state.gov/engaging-and-mentoring-nigerian-youth-in-the-fight-against-sickle-cell-anemia/?utm_source=yali&utm_medium=analyticslinks&utm_campaign=yali4youthFor Onor-Obassi Egim Tawo, a 2021 Mandela Washington Fellowship selected candidate, her enthusiasm for mentoring youth began in her community church. Surprised by the lack of youth involvement in church activities, she took on leadership roles in her church’s teenage and youth ministries. These leadership positions were the stepping stones that fostered her commitment to youth development and mentorship.
In 2018, Onor-Obassi began her nonprofit, the Okares Sickle Cell Foundation. The foundation’s vision is to achieve a sickle cell–free Nigeria through community enlightenment and provide care to people living with the disease. One of the organization’s main objectives is to create a public genotype consciousness, through enlightenment campaigns in secondary schools, colleges, tertiary institutions, and rural areas.
Onor-Obassi suffers from sickle cell anemia herself, but she has not let this health challenge slow down her success. She is a lawyer, an author, an entrepreneur, and the CEO of her nonprofit. Additionally, she envisioned the start of her nonprofit as another opportunity to get young people involved with volunteering in their communities while helping them build practical skills for their career development.
“I have a lot of young people volunteering with project management, advocacy and counseling services, digital marketing and human resource management,” she says.
The foundation runs a campaign called “Know your Genotype,” which offers free genotype tests to community members. The first iteration of this campaign is a memory that has remained with Onor-Obassi. She recalls, “I was amazed at the level of organization, engagement and passion with which my volunteers handled their respective duties. Even though I was there in person, there was nothing left for me to do. I actually left the work in their capable hands, went to work and returned to them at the close of work to meet the end of the campaign.”
For Onor-Obassi, an inspiring youth leader is someone who understands and is passionate about their vision for an organization. For those seeking to start their own youth organization, she advises that you have to create the change you want to see and work collaboratively with like-minded individuals. She explains, “There is only so little you can do by yourself regardless of how much you know.”
“The story of Okares Sickle Cell Foundation is not complete without the influence of the YALI Network,” Onor-Obassi says. The YALI Network online course “Effective Communications for Healthy Outcomes” sowed the seeds of the nonprofit. She adds that her YALI coursework taught her how to blog and motivated her to write her book “Rate Your Pain.”
With all of these accomplishments, Onor-Obassi is set on tackling more goals. Some of her goals include: establishing offices of the Okares Sickle Cell Foundation in at least 10 states in Nigeria within the next 10 years, obtaining a master’s degree, and getting more involved in youth development opportunities. With her demonstrated dedication to youth development, her community, and the fight against sickle cell anemia, there is no doubt that she will accomplish these goals and many more. |

Are you male or female?  Tajbol4splend: Even an average guy doesn't date a woman to benefit something else apart from sexual satisfaction, that's why we have many single independent women, more than single broke ones. The reason ain't far fetched, I have pusssy but I'm money starved so it's okay to meet a guy who has money but is pusssy starved |

Further stratification of society is crazy. Dividing us in the forced black and white way, the way the loudest voices in isms like feminism, racism, and even atheism, does is not helping anyone. IamAngelica: I'm a feminist too but this is not what feminism is about. Your post depicts hatred for men, when what you should hate is the inequality between both genders, how you already feel disadvantaged just for having a hole between your legs. Feminism to men is like what racism is to whites; they don't just get it and they never might because they're not victims. But most people think it's all about hating men and trying to turn everything to favor women while it's not. Feminism is about trying to turn everything to favor everyone irrespective of GENDER, that is what feminism is about. If you say you're a feminist, then you sit still and look pretty and wait for a man to pay your bills or give you his hard earned money or give a hate speech about men on SM, then slide into their DMs to beg for urgent 2K, then you're not. You're just misguided.Work for yourselves,stop waiting on guys and start doing (doesn't have to be something big) and watch how these men will respect you without even knowing it. |

Who is 'they'? If you are always meeting these 'they', change your environment. IamAngelica: Completely agree with you and in real life, i don't tolerate any bigot that denigrates or derides women..the general assumptions are sickening too,they don't believe that i can work my ass off and reward myself by buying expensive things for myself or driving that expensive car or living that luxurious life..they don't believe you can do all that without a man in the picture as if your happiness as a woman is tied to a man..they pressure women into marriage because they think marriage or being "wife material" is all a woman is good for..you could cure cancer, end poverty and world hunger, stop the depletion of the ozone layer and it still wouldn't matter unless you're married..they tell women not to be too ambitous so that they don't threaten the men,so that they get good husbands..tell women to stay virgins for their husbands but don't tell men to do the same and then shame women for exploring their sexuality but hail their male counterparts..d matter plenty..God will help us, i didn't choose to be a woman. |
Romance › Re: I Am A Feminist by cooooooks(m): 1:43pm On Nov 26, 2020 |
Lol. No, it isn't. If you're for equality, be egalitarian. The rest na audio. WoundedLamb: Egalitarianism is broad and it takes more precise descriptions when applied to a specific aspect of life. The struggle against racism is egalitarianism in the area of race. The fight against sexism/misogyny (aka feminism) is egalitarianism in the area of gender. The fight against tribalism is egalitarianism in area of tribe. The fight against homophobia is egalitarianism in the area of sexual orientation. The fight against religious bigotry is egalitarianism in the area of religion. Etc. So you can't say you're not a feminist but an egalitarian cause that's contradictory. Feminism is egalitarianism in the area of gender. |
