Lol!

Let's just say I have my special outlook to life

For a second I thought you were talking about partnering to author a dico

Hmmm...
Yes o...that also
But we will share d profits 70-30
As a man..I gats have d lion share

Next battle.. Who heads the medical team/captains the medical team ship.

Chilling with my lemon juice n groundnut awaiting season 3.


This govt is really dull sha

bukatyne:
OK then

Well the male gender have been respected because they are males

100% agree people ought to earn respect

Funnily, I do not subscribe to giving a gender an edge or the quota system.

Give everyone equal opportunities and let the best stand out.

What I will also not agree with is not letting a gender have the opportunity to prove their betterness or worseness

Now I think I should author a dictionary

Lol @authoring a dictionary.
Seems we're both in agreement or being agreeable

Zexten:
Oh! And for situations where we demand equal rights?

1. Girls should not be bought only baby dolls as toys. Let them have access to a diverse amounts of toys to shape their minds in preparedness for fields ranging from the arts to the sciences
2. Women should not be discriminated against at work and should be allowed to rise through the ranks and attain leadership roles
3. women should not be blamed when raped. men should learn to control their bodies - they can, they aren't animals
4. Women should not be looked down upon when contesting political office. In the history of Nigeria, still no single female governor, talk less of VP or President
5. Women should not be told that marriage defines them. Let them pick for themselves what defines them and what doesn't, what they like and what they don't.

Didn't see this before..
1)o.k
2) If she actually does work. Personal work place experience... Some of my heads of units are averse towards taking up female interns,reason bin that you end up dealing with so many issues..shirking work cos of menstrual pains, children issues,belle issues, market ...etc. Personally of all my interns,I honestly ve t say, its disappointing d work ethics of a good no of dem. Mind u not all.
My hardworking colleagues do rise thru d ranks, as they should.
3)I hate rapists..but I Will Not let d person play d victim if she had a role in it. You cannot willingly play into such situations n Not take responsibility f your actions. Crucify me if u want but that's d truth. Rape as a term right now has bin so abused its become ridiculous. The question ppl ask, why u follow am enter room,mite b annoying, but in reality, its a valid question.
Agreed rape should be taken far more seriously than it is presently,but responsibility should b taken where necessary.
4) you answer dis question, in d PDP delegate election,d female Presidential aspirant got one vote, weren't dre enuff female delegates dre to have at least given her a bit more
5)To d best of my knowledge, that is not Specific t d female folks.

Peace

carefreewannabe:
OBVIOUSLY women did not feel protected by that system.

Modified my post.

carefreewannabe:
Come on, the female child has been discriminated against and it is OBVIOUS.
I don't care what happens when there are no male children. Why are daughters not worthy of the father's inheritance when there are sons?

Read my post again..slowly.
Its expected that wateva is inherited by the wife automatically becomes the inheritance of d daughter.
Secondly,the daughter will get married n leave,d son stays..so who btwn d 2 do u expect t be d primary beneficiary.
In matrilineal societies,d situation is d opposite.
Clear?
Was it a perfect system...No
But wat system is...important tin is each party was protected.

bukatyne:
What work did men do to earn their respect?

I will appreciate a straight answer.

I was just passing by and saw this.

Thanks

Wasn't bin specific t d female gender.
Respect is earned not demanded.
The earlier we understand that d beta.



On d oda side, I've interns...n though one of d most hardworking ppl ve met in my life was a female..ms Pepple, d majority of females I've worked with are quite disappointing..n I say this wit all honesty.
Take it however u want.

If u demand respect, pull your weight irrespective of gender n you'll get it.

Wat I don't get is why peeps will choose t ignore that there are physical, biological, psychological differences t each group all f d sake of argument.

I don tire.
Peace.

Zexten:
The underlying theme is the same, mister. The fight for equality of the genders.

No, the male isn't anymore adventurous than the female or the female a better care giver. All of these things are social constructs.
I don't know if you're limited in your abilities. You said d Limitations Specific to each Gender. As a human, I am not in anyway limited in my abilities. I can adapt so easily. The brain, thank God is so intricately woven and complex and adaptable to a myriad of situations - danger, fear, love, care, courage. All sorts. We are flexible beyond measure, that's what makes us human and special. If we are constricted and limited in our abilities then we are nothing more than animals - with not well-developed brains. So if you think you can't adapt yourself to show love or learn how to cook in a few weeks - you know nurturing and caring and housekeeping - then it's only because you don't have a well matured brain yet. Don't feel bad though, it might take some time.

Tnx...f d insults

Wen next u have a flat tire that needs changing or u look for a female baby sitter or a male security guard...know this dude will be laughing@ur bullshit hypocrisy.

Skip the History lessons and face the present times.

(May 06, 2014) On April 14, 2014, the Nigerian Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, confirmed decisions of two lower courts, which had found unconstitutional an Igbo customary law of succession excluding female offspring from eligibility to inherit the property of their fathers. (Lemmy Ughegbe, S'Court Upholds Female Child's Right to Inheritance in Igboland, THE GUARDIAN (Apr. 15, 2014).)

http://www.loc.gov/lawweb/servlet/lloc_news?disp3_l205403968_text

So women in Nigeria have to go to court to be included in their father's inheritance?
And you call it fair and protective?

Am not IBO but understand this..
The man's property is shared amongst his wives/wife n sons, she then is AT LIBERTY to share/distribute as she
deems fit t her ofoffspring.

Wat DAT judgement sought t correct is d direct inheritance of d female t her fathers property.
If u want to really go with it, a man without a male child leaves all his worldly possession to d female child, wen she gets married,wat happens then
Y'all need to understand, these systems were in place to Ensure a balance/stability n dey were quite flexible.
Is that an e.g. of rights bin trampled on ??

Men systematically took away d rights of woman
How
Has d African woman not always Had a Voice.
Weren't there female societies to that purpose??
Who is presently ruling d country?

As much as dre patriarchal, weren't dre also matrilineal societies as well #Ghana.

You talk abt d present, aren't there More women in positions of authority than ever before

Let's get something's straight; As long as there are Gender Specific Limitations, there Can NEVER be absolute equality.
There are privileges associated with each sex, embrace it, maximise ur potential thru it n live your life.




Food f that...if d female situation in Africa was so bad,or their rights so trampled underfoot, feminism would've had it's roots/begun here.

Zexten:
Actually you're <b> very </b> wrong. Traditional African society wasn't very patriarchal. Women in the Mali Empire for instance were allowed to own property. When it came to equality, African societies were more progressive than Europe and the Middle Eastern Empires of the time.

Thank You.

Peeps just talk without reading up on their history.
I've said it n will stand by it..I've not come across societies that were more protective of female rights than African societies and to a large extent, that MENTALITY hasn't changed.
In Iboland, I think, d woman is allowed to share the properties she has acquired t her children n d husband/or soda members of d family has no right to it,unlike f d man whom by law is required t share according t d no. Of wives n children he has.

Like I said b4, don't know wat all d B.S is about. If u want respect,Work f it..it's that simple.

carefreewannabe:
So all women have a loving and nurturing nature? Really?

So being loving and nurturing qualifies you for house chores?

By the way, what is all this talk about hunting?
Are we talking about the 21st century or not?
Do you still go hunting?

S.m.h..

O.k.
You win..men are evil,women are wonderful
Comprehension on d oda hand is a Bitch.


Enjoy..

I am sick and tired of all these feminist for and against arguments n hate getting drawn into them,but since am here, lemme ask, can one of d 'feminists' here be bold enuff to give 5 examples of what n where they demand Equal rights in

Expecting d usual dodge n parry, but hoping to be disappointed sha.


@carefreewannabe.. Sometimes I do think u just love d arguments
Gender roles, like d poster opined, are Time honoured cos people recognized early enuff d Limitations Specific to each Gender and sought to build/ ;maximize each genders potential.
How is it wrong, seeing d caring,nurturing nature of d female folks to teach n encourage her in housekeeping,
Or seeing how restless n adventurous d typical male is,to give him bow n arrows n throw him t d bush to hunt or to emphasize d need t provide n protect d family unit seeing men are physically ,on d general, stronger than females
Also, contrary t popular assertations here,d typical African society was quite protective of d rights of d woman even within d gender roles but yet not restrictive.
In how many societies of old have u had women of prominence as many as are in Africa viz Queen Lamina,Bilikisu ?Erondu of Yoruba land, Gbenekawa (who is worshipped as a deity) of Ogoni or which other cultures across d world had women groups or societies that wielded political clout e.g. d Ada Societies of IBO land
These were in place f a reason...so there could be Stability.
Honestly don't know wat all d hullabaloo is about cos like I said, d ideals of d feminists keeps shifting with the seasons.


Someone Should Answer the question or let's all let it be.

Am Waiting...

Two important points;
1) The opposite sexes can never be completely equal as there are specific gender limitations to each
2)There is Nothing Wrong with many of the gender roles that has been honoured throughout history.


Wat a lot of 'feminist' ,esp Nairalands bevy of feminist, do not realise is that a lot of guys do not mind having a Good, Strong woman by their side,one that can Stand f wat she believes but still respects n gives d husband his due.
Who doesn't/wouldn't want a Lagaertha as a wife

This so called feminism frankly is just misplaced ideals,I.m.o

stan4b:
Bros, haba. Though, she told me she paid d guy off, so d guy actually might av done it because of money.

Bullshit..
She paid a guy t sleep with her??
For Naija here
Did she book him in advance

I personally don't believe a pregnant woman will so easily get someone t lay with her or even have the 'mind' t go sought f such IF there hasn't bin a prior relationship BTW she and the fellow.

Your friend is lying her ass off cos d story isn't as clear as she makes it sound.


Abt her telling, that's btwn she,her conscience n God.
Peace..

lonelydora:
Tompolo, please I beg you in the name of God, wait until we finish dealing with Boko haram. Don't unleash your power to the innocent citizens.

You can help the Nigerian army in the NE of Nigeria if you want to show your power. You are very much welcomed to Borno, Adamawa states.

Loool..
Jokes right

PentiumPro:
This is what you get when you elevate miscreants to position of influence.

Exactly.
These peeps make me ashamed of bin called a southerner attimes.


Rubbish.

....While at least 48 families bury and mourn their loved ones/children.



Insensitivity..

Why doesn't he practice his new. 'Nigerians First' slogan from now instead of dis disgraceful jamboree going on now.


Nonsense n Ingredients

One true statement made here is that the President has had more meetings on d upcoming elections than on security.
A government that gives d impression of being nonchalant to the safety n security of it's citizens is one to b wary of.
This is wat d country, its security services n leadership has bin reduced to...
Pitiful..
Not implying d present crop of opposition is beta tho.


R.I.P t d dead

If my Yoruba cultural knowledge is correct, that should b Ibeji sculptures f twin children. Either d baby is one of 2 or of 3.


Pretty too , but d eyebrows sha..

phantom:
akpabio can't hold a candle to amaechi. akpabio dey learn work where amaechi dey.
compare them in the following;
health. ducation
security
agriculture
roads
human development/empowerment
IGR
job creation

the ogoni-andoni-opobo unity road alone still beats the new roads in uyo combined.

amaechi has created more jobs for his people.
its rivers people who work at Songhai, pabod breweries, tai banana plantation and buguma fish farms.

the enabling environment created has allowed supermarkets and malls spring up left right and center. guess what? these malls are staffed by rivers people.

that there is the reason, akwa ibomites troop into PH in droves every week. now you don't expect them to feed their families with a brand new stadium now,do you?

Dude,get ur head outta Amaechis ass.
If I didn't know beta,I'll swear u were under d influence of. ...
Came back from Uyo recently n frankly , comparing both of them is like comparing the best student in Baptist high school PH to the Best In King's College..Amaechi is Nowhere close to Akpabios achievements, and I say this with all sincerity.
How many major projects has Amaechi completed successfully
How many roads in the state are completely devoid of portholes n d likes
Most importantly, how many citizens of the state can stand t say they're satisfied with wat Amaechi has done f d state
Amaechi can't hold a torch, candle,searchlight or wateva t Akpabio.
Development is not built on excuses or wishy washy activities, but on focused, concerted efforts That Yield results.
Mtscheeewww

P.s..we suppose hook up dis week. How far??

folly65:
You are wrong
I for one will love to have my traditional wedding 1st before the white wedding..
If i don't shake waist and carry the cup of wine around.. Then i havent even started
And the church wedding is also necessary.. Very.. And not to prove any righteousness
If we claim we are christians.. I see nothing wrong with doing the necessary things that makes us one

Read d post again n Stop quoting me wrongly.

I guess it boils down to personal understanding.
Traditional wedding, that peeps these days tend to look down on, is the True wedding. That n d court wedding is wat makes d person married in d eyes of all.
Church wedding is ,though necessary f Christians, moreor less a cceremony to fulfill 'all righteousness'.

On d issue of sex, traditional rites bin done,so they're married. If dey both decide to wait...fine, BUT ,It Is NOT a Sin!


Personal note tho, I tink or friend should wait..just t please her.
Afterall, it'll be dre f u f as long as u so desire.



P.s;hope dis ain't a sign of sexual hang ups

Was @Uyo recently n frankly, Akpabio has done really well.
The stadium is such a magnificent edifice of world standard.. Impressive.
Always say, while other govs are busy talking n giving excuses, dre are always those that make those excuses look silly.
Same 8yrs,different results

Not at all, my good man...

Old Money - Wealth (most times passed on from generation to generation) that comes with pedigree, class, and quiet dignity. Synonymous with the bourgeois or proletariat class of society. Old money families will typically teach their children six languages and three instruments including violin, piano and other classy shxt. They know the difference between a chardonnay and a cabernet sauvignon, and how to consume, and with what. Vehicles of choice, Mercedes, Rolls Royce. Vacation destinations include Gstaad, Switzerland (they know the G is silent), Ibiza (they know it is pronounced "I-bee-tha", etc. Examples include Dantata & family, Yuzedo (the Elite) & Sons, etc.

New Money - Riches (newly acquired to the surprise of all including and especially the holder) that motivates one to flaunt it on social media. Buy garrulous jewellery, buy "HUMMER JEEP" or any other Fxcking "JEEP" for that matter (it's not an SUV to them) and champagne every friday with ratchets hoes and equally-loud, "jaiye-jaiye" friends. The money dey quick finish, e no dey ever reach their grandkids because they are averse to buying the future, but would rather purchase vanities in the present. Holiday itinerary - LONDON (e no dey ever pass London, and they love Peckham more than Jesus Christ?! Oh my fackin' gaad!! Can also be found in Woolwich, NEVER EVER in Knightsbridge) Examples include ALL NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES (except Rita Dominic), Femi-Fani Kayode, and Sagamite (Bros i use God beg you na play!)

... Hope I have been able to convince you and not confuse you. Tenk!

Oh Lawd... Wicked description.

It can be a jungle out there. They spend so much time and money on packaging while ignoring to do the right thing and they get away with it because we always " leave it to God" even God gave the israelites judges when he became tired of settling their cases.

When i go and see all your razzmatazz, i hardly get carried away, husband says am too tough but being tough and thorough has saved us loads of money, energy and time.

Immediately i notice you are reluctant to sign a contract no matter how good you are, i carry my money and leave.

I always put a clause where late delivery will mean forfeiting your balance and it works like magic



Lol @ 4 million naira wedding cake. Come to abuja and see them acting like arses once they get a small government contract government wey no dey pay. One vendor didnt even bother seeing me she asked me to meet her PA, ah them call taya
Stupid arrogant arses

I love or approach, and am going to adopt it in all future transactions above a certain amount.
Really tired of d typical Nigerian irresponsible attitude to work n services proffered.
