Exactly. gender Equity is Condescending to the female folks.


what Equity simply means:
Because the Female gene is handicapped by Sheer nature. females are Second fiddle to men, Sub-humans and So must be aided to reach Human Status.


Gender Equality: Give them equal Opportunities, let Nature decide their strengths.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
It's not feminism that achieved anything for women.
Feminism has a different aim. The definition is a cover up.
The man is the target in feminism

Giel: the state of equal access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender

For the few men who are smart enough to read in-between the lines, we know that we have made ourselves the Mortal enemy of the lazy, reap-where- you-did-not-sow women. Nothing spoil, we dey Kampe!

Dont just point to the opportunity a man has, DWELL ON HOW HE GOT IT OR GOT THERE and REPLICATE whatever he had to do, to get it.

Then it is yours as well.

OPPORTUNITY, IS FOR THE PREPARED. BE PREPARED
WOMEN SHOULD BE PREPARED, so to say

"I think" I understand you a little better now, you disregard gender equality because you think that the people that want gender equality want it just because they want things handed to them just for the fact that they are female. That is not gender equality nor is it the purpose of gender equality.

I've been wondering why you've been hovering around this thread attacking almost everyone who believes in gender equality.

By the way, I hope you know that your definition of equity is the same as the definition of gender equality?

Definition of gender equality from Wikipedia
Gender equality, also known as sexual equality, is the state of equal access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender. It is achieved through gender neutrality and gender equity,

so what's the problem with gender equality? why trying so hard to rubbish it?

as for you comment to me on marriage, everyone's marriage is what they make it to be.

Try and reply me without insults and your "whining and sighing" speech.

What story do you want to see when they are ye to be CAUGHT?
Or you just want some other story to be used to cover the KIDNAP KING Chukwudi Onwuamadike (popularly known as Evans, from Nnewi, Anambra State),story, abi?

Just watch, it will be another Nyamirin that did it and they will be caught.

These tribe that is always bringing disgrace to themselves, anywhere they go, ehn?

Ambode sign the bill.so he can take over Evans building abi.don't worry.why can't this bill not sign since all this years.is Evans the first kidnapping Lagos has produced.Biafra will sign for any afonja that enter there own net.just wait.Mr ambode

PROUDLYAFONJA1:
stop giving yourself unnecessary hope evans supporter, death penalty sure for the guy


Everyone of you supporting this guy should be located and stone to death, how would Nigeria move forward when some dumb people are still supporting crime

ikp120:
He made it clear that none of his victims died in his custody. I've been following this case carefully, so I can tell without bating an eyelid that this is simply life imprisonment, not death sentence as most people are thinking. As for the police man who died in the kidnap attempt, any good lawyer can beat that off because he made it clear that he himself doesn't carry guns but the gang members. He's more like the CEO.

It's only in Nigeria that if one is looking at a criminal from a different perspective he will be seen as being part of the crime.

If I were to be a lawyer, I would have loved to flex my legal muscles small by taking up a case like this. The thing dey sweet wella.

I'm just exploring another perspective to this case, not supporting him.

Stop eschewing IGNORANCE!
So, we are to swallow whatever this scum of a liar and kidnappers say, and take it as truth?
Do you think the Courts are that foolish?
Did he show ANY PROOF that he does not carry Gun or where Guns not found in his house when he was arrested?

When the CEO of That Luxurious Bus Company (The Young Shall grow) was kidnapped in Festac, TWO POLICE OFFICERS Were KILLED in the process of kidnapping him.

And that is just one example for you, Mr. Defender of kidnappers!

Evans is as good as dead, since yesterday!

LUGBE:
It won't affect Evans, but will affect next kidnapper caught in the act, Nigeria laws does not adopt retrospective approaches.

Fearlez:
Another Evans opportunistic thread seeking cheap publicity. A misleading title and old statute already passed by the Lagos state house of assembly.

The victim, who requested not to be named because he did not want publicity, said he paid a total of $1.2 million to Evans and not $1 million as being reported.

“He collected 1.2 (million dollars) from me, not 1 million he’s writing,” the victim, who was among the several people kidnapped by Evans in the FESTAC area, told PREMIUM TIMES in an exclusive interview.
“Because when he released me, there was an imposed understanding between me and him, the day he was releasing me, he said the money my wife gave him, that like 200,000 was old money, that they did not collect it from her, and that the money must be complete. I told him let him release me let me to go and look for the money,” he agreed.

“After one month, he started calling me, he now told me about my son and where my daughter is working and that if I don’t give him the money he’ll come after me. Rather than go through that trauma again, I sent that money to him at Queen’s Suite ( a hotel in Awka, Anambra State).”

allCopacetic:
Just like there is no guarantee that every acclaimed Man of God is righteous.
There will be a handful of distributors that will play on both teams, especially if your "Aroro" is too much or your pricing is unrealistic.
Rather than loose the business, they might sell you clones, because they figure that's what you're gonna end up buying at that price anyways. especially where very large volumes are concerned.

mufutau55:
I can answer some of this for AllCopacetic... Buy from him (Pay to him) and then pickup the cables from the Coleman factory. And he always want you to pickup from the factory... I and friends have done this with him. Also another Agent for Nigerchin. That is the only way you can be sure of genuine cables.

Hajji M.

allCopacetic:
Lol, @ bolded . A more appropriate term would be "Dubious Importers"

I'm an "Ibo guy" too. But it goes without saying, the standard of merchandise we put out.

80% of other key distributors for local brands​ are also Ibo by the way.

People just need to source wisely and ascertain the genuity of their source. Not everybody with a shop full of cables is an "Appointed Distributor" .
Buying from an "appointed" distributor might also not give you 100% immunity, but it is your surest bet in an open market.

yak:
point of correction: marketers- no research has proven that all the fake products were imports of Igbo men

topsy23:
There are alot of fake cables in the market now. Some importers have taken advantage of recession to bring in so many fake materials to Nigeria market. Only that can save us. Best is to buy from distributor.

YelloweWest:
You are completely our of context.

My husband is my superior as the head of the house. Not just because he is a man. That's my belief as a Christian.
Superiority is social is determined by education leadership position financial status social status and not gender.
So no, my husband is not equal to everyman.

I'm a woman. I have male staff who are my subordinates. Are they my superior because they are born male?
Or would u say the likes of Evans and shekau are superior too ngozi okonji eweala and Dora akuyili?

InyinyaAgbaOku:
It's not feminism that did the job for women please.
Civil rights.

And the fact that men and women have the same opportunities have made feminism obsolete

AyeeIdris:
Ofcourse especially in Nigeria. We may have the right to vote and work now but we are still being held back in the name of "culture". A woman is viewed as a failure no matter how much she has achieved if she is not married. Even though the failure rate of Nigerian marriages is at a whooping 45.92 % in 2012 ( I handled a lot of divorce cases back in the day so this is a high Court statistics). In some cases, we earn less than men for doing the exact same positions. Women are not considered for top military positions even though it is seen as per other advanced countries that women can hold their own on the battle field. Many brilliant military strategists have been the wives of legendary conquerors over history but they are always relegated to the back. For me, the issue of 'bride price' in Nigeria is a major source of concern. Because instead of the average man to see their wife as the girl that they wooed and asked to marry and spend their life with them as supportive partner; they end up seeing the girl as someone they have bought and paid for( even if the bride price is miniscule). They become lord and master and claim to have religious backings. They expect the wife to bury her dreams and aspiration and raise their kids instead of striving to create a balance where both of them can attain a level of personal fulfilment. I could go on and on but I think these are some of the modern day needs for feminism. Feminism no be feminazi. I think there is where many men get it twisted. Feminazi want control or superiority. feminists want equity. equal treatment for equal work done.

Same way, there are Men which the Organisation values their productivity more than that of similar Women and hence, pays them more.
But lazy-azz Women who think because they have a bossom and a V-thing, think they must be treated "specially" and given what they do not deserve. Sorry, you are on a long thing.

Did you get to where you said you are, in that Dubai construction company, using "bottom power and Female leg-ups" and do not deserve to be there. You know yourself.

How many Women were involved in the heist of Osama bin Laden? None!

Whose fault is or how is it a Man's fault that when she cant be deployed simply because she is rolling on the ground due to tummy or lower abdomen discomfort?
Whose fault is it that less people watch the Female World Cup (compared to the standard and normal World Cup) and thus, generate less viewing rights, less sponsorship as a result of that viewing audience which then means that FIFA makes less money from it (infact, the World Cup is used to subsidise the Female World Cup!) and as a result of all these FACTS, they Women Team gets less Money from FIFA.

I am sure we have all watched them at one stage or the other and felt like doing something more engaging and worthwhile.
But Women will still say "gender Equality payment" irrespective of whether the organisation is running at a loss because of their femininity!

@Daboomb
Thanks for the complement
Firstly, a tenant-at-will is a person who is in occupation of a real property (land) owned by another until such time as the landlord gives notice of termination of the tenancy.

As much as I'm not very clear with the first question, I perceive you are interested in the legal implication of the insertion "fixed and certain". It means both the landlord and tenant have specifically agreed to the particular amount as rent i.e. neither of the parties can claim more or less than that.

And in respect of the fact that it is a yearly tenancy, it means the rent is "fixed and certain" for the period of one year the tenancy subsists.

Note that after one (1) year that the tenancy has been terminated by effluxion of time, the tenant will now become a tenant-at-will until he is given notice by the landlord to leave. The notice is usually a 7days notice of intention to recover possession.

EgunMogaji:
Sure, I'll post when I get back to the hacienda.

Kay17:
You dissolved equity into two more vague terms. Whose subjective view are we to resolve to in order to define fairness and justice

CreamyMoltenLar:
Actually gender equality is more of a romantic notion. In the true sense of it, gender equality doesn't advocate for 'equal' opportunities for women, it advocates for women to be allowed to enjoy privileges that men enjoy without necessarily 'earning' it the way men do. By giving a girl a job that requires brainpower because she was more intelligent than the other applicants, the employer has given both genders equal opportunities and one won on merit, but giving a job to a girl that is less suited for the job than other male applicants to meet up with a 'gender quota' is not gender equality, it is giving ladies preferential treatment to afford them the opportunity to enjoy certain privileges. It works the same way as the quota system in which northerners are given 'slots' or given preferential treatment that allows them to occupy positions that they might not have gotten based on merit. I prefer the term female empowerment, because what's at play is basically an attempt to ensure that space is created for women to occupy positions in different capacities, in a bid to reduce their 'subjugation' or dependency on the mercy of men. That's why female politicians pay less to secure tickets to contest under their parties, that's why women aren't expected to keep up with their male counterparts during military training, because the truth is that gender equality would only apply in cases that require only brainpower as an edge to females securing such positions, because factoring in physical strength, societal conceptions about power belonging in the male domain, logical business considerations (pregnant women/mums not being focused or giving the job their all) etc, men would likely still get the jobs even if women were allowed to contest for them and they were expected to do better than men to be chosen over them, unless of course the job itself is better suited to women.
PS
Op was actually talking about how women and men are not the same physiologically, mentally and psychologically. On a side note, in an ideal world gender equality shouldn't be mentioned in marriages. I believe in marrying for love and I believe when a guy marries a girl he loves, the issue of her being used like a slave won't come up. But the world is far from ideal, isn't it?

Tayeni:
Mr keyboard warrior try to keep it clean....why are you taking it personal....its just a discussion..its my opinion and what I think my society needs. Now to answer what my thoughts are in relation to the questions.
I run a business with my sister(smart and intelligent BTW)....I've had more than two formerstaff say to my face that they object to having a woman as their boss and that they would prefer to work with me than with her.....tell me if those men sound secure to you. And its even a common saying among some types of men that they will never ever allow their women make more money than them.

-The way you train a female child goes a long way to shape her view of her position in the society. I grew up in the north and you wouldn't see women in the market buying and selling like you'd see down south(that's one if the shocks I experienced when I moved a little south). They are all locked up in their husband's houses as what they call "kulle". Just bear children and bicker with your husband's other wives....that's all they do. No schooling , no economic activities.
Now I don't see any other " active prevention" from participating in the productive sectors than that. And that's the case Emir Sanusi has been advocating that got him into trouble.

-We don't have to force women who have grown to accept a lower place in the society as a result of the mental conditioning they received growing up to aspire for more. But the society can do more for the next generation.

Nothing to be Sorry about, l am sure she is an adult who made an adult decision to end her own marriage.

Both parties should go about and live their life to the fullest.
I dont want to hear any pity-party stories.

diordaves:
We have debated the pros and cons of high fencing previously. This Evans case is a clear manifestation that high fencing benefits no one; owner and community. High fencing is a very lethal security risk to all. Imagine all these evils going on behind those walls and the community is non the wiser. Now is the abducted victims, but it could easily be the landlord as well.

I will call for the government to legislate for see through fence or low fence like it's done in the developed world. Even Evans has a see through fence. Doesn't that say something.
