queensmith:
Egunsi is the most popular dish where i come from, an average family will eat it at least 3 times every week. some have mentioned here their husbands dont even eat day old soups? your point please?
And do people need to cook fresh egusi, fresh soup, fresh stew every day of the week? And where do you see the men that must eat daily made soup? Even in my parents generation which would be considered more conservative they dont eat new soup/stew daily

Unless you are just arguing for the sake of it. If its for the sake or argument we can also say some people need their bathroom scrubbed everyday, their car serviced everyday, new clothes everyday just to make our argument more "delicious"

since the man was catering for himself before he got married why turn to a reta[i]r[/i]d after?
taking charge of her security? is this administration of an envoy? dont chat rubbish please
A married woman Chaircover wrote it and i quoted her, the responsibility of her husband and what she expects from her husband

chaircover:
I personally am happy to trade housework in exchange for security. What do I mean by security; I am free to work part time, I dont have to rack my brains about finances, I dont have to make major decisions if I dont feel like, I have someone who is able to do damage limitaton on my behalf when I mess up, I dont have to worry about the house being secure - its his job to secure all the windows and doors, if the phone rings in the middle of the night he is the one to ge up and answer it, If my car makes a funny noise or is low on petrol,  just I pick up his car keys instead, I spend knowing that if I get in a fix someone will sort me out, I have a backbone I can lean on, depend on and run to.

Why am I saying all this? because marriage is not just all black and white and there is a whole much more that goes into it apart from housework, baby making and providing finances & team work is the key.

I can check my oil, I can do DIY, I can set up the barbeque from scratch, paint my garden fence and other "manly" things but I am not very good at it so If I Can, I leave that to the expert  grin
nobody fixes their own car unless they are a mechanic, and cars do not require daily servicing like these men do. try again please
There you go with all these kind of arguments again. You are threading on uncertain territories

"White women dont cook", "People spend 5 hours daily cooking", "now nobody fixes their car by themselves"

How come Chaircovers husband does it? Or isnt he in the subset of your "Nobody does"

Maybe you can extrapolate it to nobody secures their own house when they are not police

so if it is that easy, why do guys not want to do it often now?
Well a woman with good head on her shoulders (using your own words) wont be comfortable seeing her husband in the kitchen cooking while she does nothing just like a good man wont see his wife lifting heavy stuffs or strenous jobs while he looks on

The allocation is based on population largely.

So if a significant number of SEasterners live outside of their region, who is the allocation you are clamouring for now meant to serve

Pull the official population of Nigeria and you would discover than SE is one of (if not) the least populated region

I cook my own egusi soup from scratch and it takes me max 20 mins to put ingredients together and no more than 1 hr all together. Seriously what is your point? I cook ofe owerri myself, i make my own pepper soup, efo riro, ewedu, okra soup with panla . . . so exactly what is it that you women do that we shld bow down and kiss your feet for? Laundry - easy: just make sure you have a designated spot for your clothes and get a washer and dryer. Cleaning house - get urself a carpet and hardwood cleaner, run over your floors once a week. What else is special about you?

Thankfully my mom made sure she taught me everything around the house, its always a shock when i tell most of my partners that i would hardly miss them if they dropped off the face of the earth.
Most guys before getting married had a way of cooking and eating. You dont need to be an excellent cook to feed yourself. I dont throw away food, If it comes out bad, I must eat it that way

and with cooking you can learn on the job. The things you cant cook, read up online, I learnt some recipes from MissyB's page on NL.

I can tell you I eat out max 2 times a week every meal I cook.

In this new world, washing plates = dishwasher, washing clothes = washing machine, Cleaning = vacuum cleaner. even boiling rice nowadays has been made easy buy those rice boliers, plug them to mains and go to sleep shikena!!!

Is it the gargantuan effort to load the clothes in the washing machine or the muscle to load plates in the dish washer?

When girls go to visit their bfs maybe for weekends, he would likely cede control of the kitchen to the woman, but when you are gone, he resumes back to the place

what a daft way of putting things. . . .
so a sample size of 5 games should be of more importance to the other 20 games that were played last year?
you must be a lunatic. grin
At the begining of the year Chelsea was ahead of Arsenal FACT.

Right now Chelsea is below Arsenal


Anyone who went to primary school would know it was event within this year that led to the change in position.

If after 1000 games Chelsea was ahead of Arsenal but after 1003 games they are now below, Doesnt common sense tells you that its the 3 recent games that are responsible for the change in position

Anyways you are super-daft

- Most families dont cook egusi daily. Most families cook pot of soup to last them for days and just warm it daily

- The man was eating before he got married either by cooking or buying food.

When you get married, there are some roles you pick up and some you might drop. e.g a man that was cooking for himself before marriage might have to reduce it when married, the woman that was fixing her electrical appliances, taking charge of her security, fixing her car somehow before marriage might reduce it after marriage.

If you insist on both keeping their pre-marriage roles then whats the point living together or being married

queensmith:
is that your new argument? That it doesnt actually take long to cook Nigerian food so it's not actually strenious? Or are you just nit picking?
ah you must be right dayo- it only takes 10minutes, thats why all these women are cooking over long weekends and storing it in the freezer for months on end. It's actually indomie they are cooking like that.
I grew up eating Nigerian food and my mom worked fulltime and cooks daily but never does she spend combined 5 hours cooking in one single day unless theres a party going on somewhere.

Is it everyday you cook fresh soup? Is it everyday you kill goat and cook ?

I cook and most single guys cook too I doubt it takes a combined 5hours per day.

Cooking for how many people? a whole village?

Most of your points are poorly argued. E.g It takes 5hours to cook per day, White women dont cook for their family etc

don't be daft, abeg!
so it is this year's results that placed chelsea below arsenal? really?
what kind of daft reasoning is that?

chelsea's last loss before the everton loss was on 20th november against liverpool(lampard featured)
against everton, last weekend, lampard featured as well. when lampard was absent - the team had an unbeaten streak until lampard brought his bad luck to the team @ goodison park.
As at January 1 Chelsea was leading Arsenal on the table

This year in 5 games Chelsea has 6 points. The only win in the last 5 games was via a Lamaprd goal

This year in 5 games Arsenal 7 points

The last time failure Torres scored was September 20 if I am not mistakened
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Pride Of London by dayokanu(m): 5:24pm On Feb 16, 2012
In the EPL

This year Chelsea has played 2 games with Lampard and have 3 points 1.5 points per game (Sunderland and Everton)

This year Chelsea has played 3 games and claimed 3 points 1 point per game (Swansea, Norwich and Man Utd)

We can see which one is more productive

With Lampard or without lampard.

Suffice to say Drogba left and Since Torres has been starting Chelsea has won 1 game out of 5 EPL gamesand Mr Torres has scored a whooping zero goals.

How wont they lose when Torres is loafing around the field

That was when queensmith was championing that all chores should be split

In days you hear noise in the living room at night, Do you take turns to check if there is an intruder?

When the car breaks down, Do you take turns to get under the hood, Go to autozone, buy parts and fix it.

When electrical appliances develop faults do you take turns to fix it? when plubing works needs to be done, do you take turns at it too?

When lawns need to be mowed, Do you have a timetable for it?

Analytical:
All,

Kungiya's husband committed a series of blunders:

1.  Having an argument with a pregnant wife and walking out: He needs to learn she is prone to mood swings and hormonal tricks and as such vulnerable at this period.  This is when she needs understanding from him.  Whatever his wife says or does to him in this state is not to be taken seriously.  Arguing with her is just out of it.  Moreso, it’s not too healthy to pass such negative emotions to the baby inside.
I disagree that you cant have an argument or a disagreement with your wife when she is pregnant

Queensmith,

maybe I should ask since you and your husband are supposed to share cooking and cleaning chores 50-50

Do you share things like the quoted 50-50? When the family car breaks down, do you take turns to open the hood and crawl under the car to fix it?

When you have a security concern at home, Do you take turns to fix it, Electrical fault, mechanical fault, plumbing issues etc, Do you also split those 50-50?

My husband n i work in the same area, so we come n go home together,  and when we get home depending on the time, we may just get some bread n eat with stew! Thankfully, hubby isnt the food type,  so he doesnt really boader mi whether there's food or not. Thats one understanding we both have.

Would this same husband have slapped his boss at work under any circumstance?
Would he have slapped an armed policeman at a checkpoint, no matter how angry that policeman made him?

The fact remains that he saw his wife as a vulnerable person he can slap without facing any adverse consequences.
This has always been my point in cases of spousal abuse.

When your boss makes you angry would you slap him?

[quote author=c.fours link=topic=870887.msg10205454#msg10205454 date=1329348528]US politics is different. unless you are a republican millionaire, you really shouldn't go about making those comments.
case in point: Larry summers was fired from his position as president of Harvard for making sexist comments about women in science.[/quote]Point is whites are not that much different from blacks.

And who can be more white than the Republican Presidential candidate?

WHen we come here tormenting people about how stuffs cant happen in foreign countries. Fact is they happen

Working white women cook for their husband rather its the black woman who would now term feminism as not cooking for your family.

Like I said earlier, If it was a Black man that was reported to have 7 children in this day and age, I wonder what would be the comments of some people on here.
