StreetFight:Oga, don't correct what you have no vocabulary of. 'Contain' is very much correct in that context. |

This discuss is quite interesting. Firstly, I view culture as an embodiment of expectations and not necessarily a law. Culture of a truth is ocassioned by human exitence, but are not theories made by some individuals based on ideological or intellectual reasoning. Simply put-- it came natural to us, we practiced it, it worked for us, and we upheld it. There is no record, whatsoever, where men(i.e males) gathered, scripted the culture in their favour and forced the women folk to imbibe it unconditionally. These things are exhibitions of our natural instincts, which over time form a pattern. That is why in the case of a man and a woman relationship, on a macro level, it has a universal application. The man always assumes the highest position or honour irrespective of race, tribe or tongue. This does not in anyway diminish the significance of the woman, if anything it highlights it (I'm still coming back to this point). Now, every position has its primary functions. The man by virtue of his position is viewed mainly as a financial/material provider, and a defender. The woman on the otherhand is perceived as a service provider/caterer primarily. And it makes sense based on natural caliberation of humans. The average man has more muscle ratio than a woman of same weight. More muscle entails more power, and more power means more capability to do hefty work and inflict more injury in a physical combat. The woman by all perceivable judgement has an unrivalled soft emotion and meticulosity. Hence, she has more tendency to care and an eye for small details unlike the man. For every position there is a responsibility. And every responsibility comes with expectation/accountability. And this is where culture starts to set in. For instance, if a man could not feed his household or train his children in school, and the woman consequently assumes the position of a provider, the family survives and the children becomes successful. The man would still be viewed as a lazy and a failure. But if the man was able to provide for the family, and the woman refuses to prepare dishes and tidy the home. She would be adjudged a lazy and dirty woman. Another example: a strange noise is heard at the backyard, the woman will call upon the man to go check it up (the woman is seen as too precious to be put in harm's way). If the man dies in the process; nothing much, afterall he is supossed to protect his family. A baby starts to cry or messes up itself, the man calls the attention of his wife to tend to the baby. A woman slaps a man. The society will be like; just ignore her before you use anger and kill person, you are not a match for her. You do small 'garagara', they'll be like, if they leave you you'll beat your woman? Shame on you. She is seen by the society as untouchable no matter what. So, this issue of culture is not a coincidence, neither an issue of bride price payment or lack thereof. It is a natural evolution of human relationship. |

sisisioge:Which body did they mention? |
You should go to the School Registry and complain to them. |
This is a publicity stunt, no more no less. And he is very poor at it. |
garfield1:The law is not obsolete, only that people's mindsets change, especially when a court ruling does not favour them. |
AfroBeatDiary:what about the threats Trump has been unleashing to Iran? What about the spy plane Trump flew into Iran? What do you make of the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria all by America, without any evidence to support their purported reason for the deed at the end of the day? To an untrained eye, America is the saviour of the world, when in reality they specialize in messing up other nation's government and economy, invading and brutalizing their citizens and walking out with an aura of impunity around them, but with one exception -- the nuclear-armed nations. Now the picture is clear; do you want to have a say in international politics without being militarily intimidated? Get a nuke! You don't need to be a magician to figure that out. And that is why Iran is bent on reaching that milestone. |
OP, you come across to me as someone who is partially(or even fully) interested in the said boss, but fear the unforeseen consequences that may follow. Your body language may be the thing spurring her on to continue her advances. Concerning the visit, you have to tell her, in a polite and yet firm manner, you are indisposed. No need for apologies or long stories. You are an employee, not an errand boy. This does not mean you should be bossy, however being sissy is not an option either. Your job is not in line at all, unless you are not competent enough or your input is not critical to the success of the firm. You may also wish to start wearing more of an indifferent and serious facial expression. It may sound odd, but it works wonders. It keeps people busy imagining what goes on on your mind and makes it appear you can't care less of happenings around you except your job. She will have hard time figuring how to get to you. Gradually, her interest in you will start to wane. Work on yourself, man! Your destiny is in your hands. |
humanity1491:Check for two. |
Fountainofyouth:And you actually respected his wish by visiting the thread and commenting. What an irony! |
MetaPhysical:Actually, Enugu State was carved out from old Anambra State. |

Buhari just did a Donald Trump on them. |
Oga OP, stop posting trash. All the roads you photographed here, has potholes here and there, which you carefully omitted. The umungasi road you posted starts at Osisioma junction which is not motorable now. And by the way, your acclaimed Ehi road is actually Mosque street by Tenant road. It is very difficult to see a road in Aba where you can run half a kilometer without meeting a pothole. And most Major roads are partially/totally unmotorable. They include: Ngwa, Omuma, Osusu, Portharcourt, Eziukwu, People's, Ehere, Opobo, Azikiwe, Faulks, Ohanku, Obiohia, Asa, and Emelogu roads, just to mention but a few. Except you are a paid image-maker of Governor Okezie, if not you can't live and move around this town for one full week and still maintain this view. |
BraiNerves:Look at it this way; the body/brain is the hardware, while the soul/mind is the software. Like in a computer set, no body can physically locate the software, but it most definitely regulates the whole function of the computer. That we cannot see it with our naked eye on the chips and panels of the computer doesn't render it inexistent. |
OrestesDante:Then you don't know a jack about Einstein. |
adewest1999:This is damn funny. |

Future is bright for those who live there present rightly. |
Letter can also mean collection of words, written and sent across to another person. |
If you are in Aba, for tailoring accessories, go to New Market (line 6 & 7). You can also buy from Ariaria Market. But if you want cloths, visit Ekeoha Shopping Center. |
Do you mean gum, lining, thread etc. Or clothing materials( cloths)? |
