Damn! This is a real man. Even if they kill him today, I'll never forget his struggles for freedom from the zoo, and I'll pass his news to my children, grand children, great grand children.

For those who didn't get the picture. This is the Nnamdi that the Yoruba people propagated is languishing in prison.

This is the man giving haters a tough time. He wore the attire to prove he's mean and not a coward like a certain people.

Go, Nnamdi, go!!!

No disrespect to women but by general standard (whether Africa or abroad) the kitchen belongs to the wife. Couples can share responsibilities but it's never gonna be equally. The husband, who is the head, is expected to provide for his family while the wife serves as his support. I can't imagine a scenario where a husband is cooking in the kitchen while the wife is mowing the lawn outdoors.

Good reasoning!

Mamatee07:
Nope he's saying it's not right or African for a man to cook which is crap. you can't marry a woman who works the same hours as you and pays bills like you and then decide only she will cook. The minute your wife does the same day hustle as you and pays equal bills you've dropped the African.roles . If she's come on to support your role as a provider then you must be ready to share hers too. She not a robot, that's why some women will be looking like their husbands mothers. The woman too can as well decide which modern roles she wants to take on. Let her also say I'll work but you pay all the bills because it's African for a Man to pay the bills even if you can't cook be ready to wash dishes

But who told you I'd allow my wife work the same hours as I do or share bills equally with me? Then why is she a wife? Anyway, I think everyone has their own choice of marriage partner.

fem29:
You know what. I can live with that. It's great that you are willing and able to do things around the house consistently, not just when you feel like it. You are also very willing to be a hands on dad. If I was your wife, I would be very happy with the arrangement. I love cooking but I don't love cooking and doing every single thing around the house by myself. Something has to give. As long as if I'm ill we get food outside ooo

LOL! Thanks for understanding.

Vyolet:
Ying!! Wait until you get married before you conclude.
Marriage entails a lot of compromise where you find e yourself doing what you would not do naturally, therefore, you will cook someday.

Ok, ma.

Jona can't do anything.PDP is boko haram,boko haram is PDP. SAS is our siamanu, Case closed

But it was Buharyy that freed the detained Boko Haram members.

But when will EFCC arrest Amaechi for stealing?

Ok, this is the 4th page and I'm still waiting for NgeneUkwenu (the effeminate) and Omenka to drop comments in support of Bubu the gworo eater.
I mean Omenka, not Omenkata o!

No need for economic advisers , they all quack like ducks.

Brainwashed ivy educated fools and buffoons who learnt only how to quash $1000 champagne.
Never thinking out of the box.

This is the worst comment I've ever read from an APC fan. No need for economic advisers when 1 dollar = N383 now? WTF!

ronald4lif:
You want to be different from the white folks when it's convenience to you and not when you realise it twinges you? No, it doesn't work like that mate. You're not solely responsible to decide what to do and what not to do in gender family roles, women are stakeholders and should be major player in family decision making.

Washing your wife's clothes isn't a big deal. If you expect her to wash yours, then you should be able to wash hers too. So, don't take any credit in doing so.

You said "I can sit and feed my baby too if need be". What do you mean by if need be in feeding your "own" baby? Were you supposed to do otherwise or you falsely assume feeding of a baby is solely a wife's role? Pal, the baby is yours and you have just as equal responsibility to nurse him/her same as your wife. Again, don't take any credit for it.

Being a married man doesn't mean abdicating your cooking responsibility to a wife. You were cooking and eating (I suppose) before you met her and so should still cook even after meeting her. And if you weren't able to cook before you met her that's your problem not hers. A wife is not a chef but a companion and in companionship there should be no gender roles.

You didn't get what I meant when I said I can wash my wife's clothes. I mean, I can wash them without expecting her to do same for me. Washing clothes is no big deal for me. I grew up in a home where one boy could do the entire laundry, while the other would fetching water. The girls were not allowed to do that as it was considered men's job. At the same time, the boys too would not cook because the mom never taught them. Only the girls. I cooked when I was still in school. As a bachelor, I still cook now when I have the time. If I can't, I buy from outside. But when I'm married, my wife will be in charge of the kitchen. That's the situation in the average family from the eastern part and I'm not ready to change that to suit civilization. Ask any Igbo friend you know.
My opinion!

cococandy:
Buy a superman apron like my bobo did.
Maybe that will look good on you and we will hear word.

Hausa/Arab Muslims are the world's problem

ronald4lif:
It used to be un-African for women to work, earn their own money and contribute to the financial running of the home but that's not the case today. So, would you also propose women should stop working and return to their former role of housewives?

You didn't get my point. Among other things the African man was not supposed to do before now, I think the "stay away from the kitchen" rule should remain, if nothing at all, to show why we're different from the white folks. It doesn't take away the women's right to be respected. I, for instance, can wash my wife's clothes but can't force her to wash mine. I can sit and feed my baby too if need be. But I can never enter the kitchen to cook her meals; let that be my own dividend of being a married man.

I'm also of the opinion that cooking shouldn't be a man's duty. A man can learn how to cook as an advantage to bachelorhood. But once he's married, the wife ought to take over immediately. It's not really about how they look in the apron. It is un-African; to hell with your civilisation.
My only problem is the way the Op addressed the topic.

I'm sure B00harii will do the same.

BABANGBALI:
i only came to check names

Me too. But I'm sure you would have been disappointed. A look at the face is enough to tell where he comes from.

Anti-Christ from Ogun State.

Ujoatu the propagandist. I hardly take any news concerning Roach ass from you with a pinch of salt. You and Abagworo.
Na only you dey post without link and e go still reach front page.

yommyss01:
The girl never said she asked for money immediately. She can't have done it immediately. They both probably have been dating for a while.

Plus why can't a girl ask a guy for money? Anything bad in it? The woman can cook for you but you can't fend for her? This money issues guys hammer about is outdated.

I can understand when a lady is gold digging but does it mean any money issue that comes up is equal to gold digging?

I will be married this weekend, I don't hesitate on spending on my wife to be. If she needs it, she tells me and I have it, I give. She does same to me as well.

Because someone behaves like an idiot, guys turn around and treat other women as an idiot, hence they end up with who they deserve - an idiot.

Did you ask how many times she requested money from the said guy? It's natural for the average Nigerian girl to ask money from her boyfriend (of course, it's what they do) but when it's too much it becomes irritating.
Secondly, you can't compare your wife-to-be with a chic you recently met.

TeOwl:
It is not every girl in the night club that is a wh.ore (sex for money), they are a lot of them that have more money than you (they come from very rich families) - these type of girls are just looking for fvck. Example: DJ Cuppy - she is Femi Otedola's daughter and she is always in nightclubs either for her DJ work or to relax and have fun.

That's exceptional. But nightclub is not the right place to look for decent girls.

TeOwl:
Since you can't comprehend let me explain:

* If you are going to throw yourself at a guy do NOT ask him for money... I mean just forget the money aspect.
* If you are going to ask a guy for money, then do NOT throw yourself at him... I mean let him be one chasing.

The moment you do both... you have made yourself look like a wh.ore.

Don't ever do both of them!

Only pick one... it is either you ask him for money or you throw yourself at him!

Like in a nightclub, a girl throws herself at me and when I take her home after sex she asks for money... I immediately see her as a pros.ti.tu.te... I hope you get the logic?

Why the night club? Do you expect to meet nuns and female evangelists there?

Why was Linda acting so arrogant and bitchy. She even had to mention her Banana Island mansion like it has any connectivity with her bag's genuineness. That you are a lady of high class doesn't mean you can't be fooled at times. Na wa!

Tompolo should just submit himself and face the tyrannical laws of the Daura D.ullard. I don't want anyone, like TonyeBarcanista, to insinuate that SE is somehow involved in the SS militancy business. We're not the same, and can never be. Every man to his own hut. Nonsense!

Keneking:
Igbo's are indeed doing well

Who asked you?

Obiagelli:
Oil money is not funding capital projects, make we hear word

SE is 29 billion not 2.9

It's 2.9 billion, oga.

So if he sponsors a Health bill in the National Assembly and it gets passed, it would only be implemented in Baylesa state or his constituency abi?



Lets us just take a moment to stare at your wisdom..

It's still the same reason I called you a child of hate. I don't see any connection or relationship between the hospital mishap and senator Bruce. You hate the man simply because he's making waves and he's not a member of your party. Somebody asked if you know your own representative in the senate. Do you? I shake my head at your wisdom.
