Fact is women are BUILT differently from men and it is not everything they do that we should do. Those that want to out-earn, out-drink or out-burp men may feel emancipated now, but a wise man is not looking for a woman to compete with but a mate to build a life with, and a woman that uses her femininity to compliment a man will have a happier home.

This is indeed a wise statement.

Some women, because of the aggressive vibe they give out quench this gentlemanly behaviour in guys, but I'd like to think it is because of my sweet, accommodating nature that men are willing to open doors or pull out chairs for me.

Now I must say I am thrilled by your in-depth analysis. A word is enough for the wise. I recommend this for every lady who seek to build a happy union with a man.

I have followed this topic for a while and indeed I weep for this nation called Nigeria. I weep for Nigeria because her only hope of becoming a great nation lie in its people. But it is evident that the people of Nigeria no matter where they hail from do not believe in the nation. They believe that individual nations are congregated together in the Nigerian project and as such the Nigerian project is a cake which must go round. The Nigerian people don't care to hold elected office holders accountable for their actions as long as those public office holders are from natives of their native nation.

After taking a critical look at the whole deportation saga, I am of the opinion that the Lagos state government is totally wrong in its actions and have grossly abused the fundamental human rights of these deportees or involuntary returnees as the case may be.

First they went about picking people from the streets claiming they were either beggars, mad people or hawkers. A state is governed by laws and laws are interpreted in court and offenders are punished by the courts. I do not know the law of Lagos state the beggars and hawkers have violated but assuming there exists such laws. Such offenders must be charged to court and the courts will prescribe appropriate punishment. In the entire responses given out by the Lagos state governor and the documents presented so far, I have not seen anywhere it was mentioned that these people were charged to court and made to appear before a judge. These people must be made to appear before a judge and must be given lawyers to defend them. If they are found guilty they will be handed over to the prison authorities and after serving their time, it is the prison authorities that have the expertise and rights to seek ways of re integrating them back into their communities. This the state did not do, rather it simply went about looking for ways to send them back from where they came from. The logical conclusion derived herein is that the intention of the LASG in carrying out the sweep was with a view to return poor people back to where they came from rather than to punish law offenders.

Secondly if the victims were mad people as claimed by the LASG, what does any reasonable person or government do when he meets a mad person on the streets - Take him to the psychiatric hospital for treatment and after treatment seek a way to reintegrate them back into families that can take care of them or put them permanently in welfare homes if there are no families anywhere coming forward to take responsibility. This was what Akwa Ibom did to the Lagos state indigenes that were mad according to the documents shown here. In the Akwa Ibom case There was evidence of them been kept in a hospital not a cell, and secondly there were doctors report to show they were been catered for in a hospital. In the Akwa Ibom case, the Akwa Ibom people did not hurriedly carry them to Lagos and drop them off at the Ojota Bridge rather they waited till Lagos state officials came and picked up their people. What purpose does the LASG serve by picking a mad person up in one bridge and after detention dropping them off in another bridge. The logical conclusion here therefore is that the intention of picking up the mad people from the streets in lagos is not to treat them as sick people but to send them back to where they came from.


While understanding that there could be no other reason behind Dr. Chris Ngige and his Aka Ikenga Group's show of solidarity with the Governor of Lagos State on this issue rather than political convenience. Lets us all remember that any of the victims could have been any body's relative. Society's world over are governed by laws and not the wishful feelings and thoughts of members of its government and any government that sweeps people off its streets without necessary laws to back that action is tyrannical.
In this instance I wish to tell the Lagos state Governor in case he does not know that arrested street beggars and hawkers belong to the civil courts not detention cells/camps then another bridge and arrested mad people belong to the hospitals and welfare homes not Head Bridge or Upper Iweka bridge. I have no other conclusion than to say that the actions of the Lagos state government in this instance can to the barest minimum be described as selective tyranny and injustice to the less privileged.

I have noticed that we Nigerians seem stuck in this traditional belief that the man is solely responsibility to provide for the home financially. While i do understand that this belief is strongly rooted in our traditional family value system in this part of the world, i have however noticed that education and civilisation has enabled us drop a lot from our traditional family system which we perceive to be either obnoxious or unfair.

Let me highlight a few examples here. In the past a man never cooks, it used to be a taboo for a man's hand to be seen in his wifes pot but today men cook for the home as well as the women. In the past a man does no home chores today it is also acceptable that both do them. In the past when travelling, it is the woman that carries on her head the loads and bags for the family, today this has shifted to the man beacause they are physically stronger. Men alone go to work to earn money also in the past while the woman stays home and caters for the family but today it is generally acceptable that a true man is the one that not only allows his wife to work but supports her financial and other dreams. Finally even while performing the act the man alone use to stay on top but these days i need not describe the scene.

So my question comes, why is it that our society has accepted so much of the practices from the foreign value systems but seems adamant on this one? Why this cherry picking? Could it be out of ignorance or could it just be that the woman gender are still so week in our society that they need this protection. From my last count there are more women going to school these days than the men and also it has become somewhat easier for women to gain employment after school than it is for the men. Today's life opportunities are open to all irrespective of gender. While it is possible that most men who still strongly belive in this value system are those who remain stuck in their thinking that it is solely a woman's responsibility to cook, wash nanny the kids and lick their nyashes on all issues, it is also possible that most women in this class are those who lack the understanding that the essence of working wether for the man or the woman is to carter for the family.

As for me, i am a firm believer of equality of all humans. I will not raise my girl child in this generation to grow up believing that there is a man out there who will carter for her needs either in or out of marriage. If the man earns let him provide, if the woman earns let her provide and if both earns let them both provide in love, with understanding and give the family a living standard that is commensurate with the combined earning power of both of them. Let me state categorically that any woman who provides financially either by supporting her husband or by leading in the role, while believing in her head that she is carrying out a role meant for the man, will never truly respect the man nor will she ever be able to provide in love.

Poster,
Let me say that i feel your pains. I am of the opinion that you will not be able to make any sound decison about your situation now nor anytime in the near future. I am of the opinion that you should allow time to run its course over the whole thing before any serious decisons. If i were in your shoes, i will live in separation from her to avoid continous exposure to the risk of deseases and also to heal my pain.Mind you there is no guaranty that another woman you marry now will not do same thing in future. So for me if the lessons she will learn from the shame of her acts brings out a new woman in her, the mother of your daughter might just be your best bet at the end. Best of luck.
