I don't get these kind of women. If she doesn't love herself enough to walk away from an abusive husband then no one else can help her. |
These kind of women have convinced themselves that every marriage is miserable. It was her choice to spend 3 decades with a disrespectful man, her husband is not every man, her story is not everybody's story. I understand she is trying to console herself but she doesn't need to malign men to do that |
Smh, when will we stop being crude? What is wrong with the left hand? Is it not a hand? A child will be perfectly normal we will go and create developmental problems for the child because of some silly unsubstantiated archaic belief. Please leave that child alone if as an adult you don't know that using his left hand is perfectly normal then you are the one with the problem not the child |
I can't believe I am replying this topic, grrrrhhhhh. Nobody " owns" a man, a man owns himself. Only illiterates will be struggling over who owns another human being. Is he a thing or a possession? Why must we always make competition between two women? I don't blame the OP I blame the people who are so jobless that make this into an issue. If both women are busy building their lives and developing things for the good of humanity they will not have time for this nonsense. Their mates are finding cure to cancer, going to the moon,developing HIV and Ebola vaccines, they are busy with petty jealousy and rivalry. Msteewww Both women should respect themselves and be respected, each should clearly have healthy boundaries and be open and honest with each other. Women should stop pretending and doing eye service just to make a man marry them and mothers should quit turning their sons into mini husbands. Enough already |
Once upon a time when bombs went off, Oga Nasir will be everywhere on social media abusing the army, abusing the Government and saying all sorts. These days multiple bombs go off and the silence is worrisome. Oga what happened? Do you no longer care about the lives lost? Are the lives lost under Jonathan better than those lost under Buhari? Elrufai please speak out ohhhhhhh, you once said every onlooker in the state of the bombing is a coward or a traitor, abeg speak out before I find which of the two to address you. Meanwhile, The selfie President is out again in another private jet collecting travelling allowance wandering about while our nation burns. Oh I remember how Jonathan could not travel in peace suddenly Buhari can go for any and every international meeting even when bombs go off. By tomorrow we will be bamboozled with pictures of Buhari drinking coffee, Buhari taking a leak, Buhari giving hi five. The only person who has his work cut out and is actually doing some work in this administration is Buhari’s photographer. Hypocrites everywhere what a shame |
Zuriela:I beg to differ, every multiple birth after years of infertility is IVF. Those places they are jumping to is penny wise pound foolish. Not all fertility issues are solved with IVF some are mere blockages so instead of going to a good gynecologist and getting help they waste most of their fertile years in search of elusive miracles because of edited testimonies like this |
Zuriela:Let people be honest that is all I am saying so that others looking for babies too can know that they can try instead of wasting their fertile years jumping from place to place in search of miracles when their Miracle may just be one single injection or even a handful of drugs |
Zuriela:Nigerians will always know someone it " happened to". Anyway I respectfully disagree, multiple births after long term infertility = IVF |
Otapipia:God is able but let us be honest in the process, say it is IVF doesn't reduce from God's greatness |
Eketem: |
Just as I predicted people will be mislead claiming " blessings" instead of going to get medical help and solve their issues. Nigerians and religion smh |
Dottore:Because Nigerians will always lie and hide that part hence making other women also suffer for 20 30 years before finding out it is IVF and their issue could have been easily solved with technology years ago. Multiple births, years of infertility doesn't take a genius to know it is IVF 5 eggs are normally implanted hoping one or two will survive hence the multiple births |
We thank God, we also thank the doctors and nurses that provided successful IVF. We thank those who developed the technology. Why won't Nigerians share the full and real testimony so others can also find help? Why hide the part about IVF and let other women in the same shoes keep running around to find help |
Zanga007:Lol she go abuse you taya ohhhhhhh hiannnnnnnnnnn. This is also her here ;https://www.nairaland.com/2716020/being-woman-nigeria-hard-says/11#39847443 Read the kind of words she uses then to come and see here preaching against harsh words here is a total |
Totfulguy:I agree with you mostly, I am also an advocate of couples planning their finances because finances make up 70% of marital conflicts. There are so many things to be done. Rent Light Generator maintenance Food Clothes Water Fees Hospital bills Baby expenses Etc Men must not carry this burden alone. Sadly yesterday on a blog I was reading about wedding preparations as regards to budget and women were there boasting about getting men who must take care of 95% of the wedding expenses, that makes me sad. And those same women with traditional values will want modern men who will act romantic and be less chauvinistic It's give and take. Both genders need to work to make a marriage work. First step is knowing that marriage os a joint effort and should be built of honesty, cooperation absence of schemes games and pride. Young people will be concentrating on too many other factors ; can she cook? Is she submissive? Does she use both knees to greet my mother, etc when they finally marry and bills stare them in the face with total unpreparedness they start fighting suddenly cooking and cleaning is no longer enough. I am an advocate of proper and thorough planning not " God will provide " " we are hoping on God" imagine someone whose fiancee was earning 50k she made him took a bank loan for big wedding payment spread in 2 years. She got pregnant even though his plan for them was a more long term arrangement he now had to rush to do a wedding. I had advised a simple court wedding and church blessing but bride said it was bad belle After every deduction they are left with 25k and the two silly unplanning people went ahead and got pregnant. They now have three mouths and 25k. They fight everyday. The woman doesn't or cannot see what the problem is she always starts her lamentation with " I cook and clean, I stay in shape" bla bla bla to her she has done her own role and so she doesn't understand why he should be angry and upset. The man is tired and frustrated, he is honestly trying his best, even doing odd jobs to add to his income but the woman is now a specialist is begging on blogs after exhausting good will from friends. Now she is nagging the man about getting pregnant again. It is sad really. Just giving this real example so we can understand the gravity of the situation with a lot of families where there is no initial financial planning |
Onegai:You are right mostly. However interacting with my sisters ; Nigerian women I find that when it comes to money have totally double standards. They can trust their men with the nak-ed bodies and have unprotected s-ex but when it comes to money they don't trust these same husbands. Once a woman put up a post that generated over 500 comments. She said a lady's office paid for her to travel first class abroad and her husband wasn't doing financially well at the moment so should she pay for first class ticket for him or let him fly economy. I was shocked that 90 percent of the women there replied that the man should fly economy and not waste her money even though she could afford it. Some even called the man names and said he should go and hustle like his mates. These are modern women with modern husbands oh husbands who help with baby cooking and house chores. A friend asked if it was a man's wife travelling with her husband and the man stays in first class and sends his wife to economy if we won't crucify him as a wicked abusive man. I think Nigerian couples need to be more financially open and responsible. We don't plan as families we just wait on God and fate and pray for miracles when we should be doing financial planning for every step and decisions as a family. A couple should have a joint account each contributing a percentage for expenditure to avoid these stories and suspicion |
When a man has to be the one keeping the romance going it gets tiresome especially in this economy. Here are some suggestions Friday night or Saturday afternoon you could give him a pedicure and foot massage If you live in a town like Abuja not Lagos you can steal him and surprise him with a lunch date. You can book a weekend gateway at a nice hotel and send kids to grandma. If bills are stressing him you can decide to pick up a bill so he won't need to worry about at least one thing Surprise him with a great gift. |
I respectfully disagree. A couple should have some sort of financial planning and budget. A man is not a beast of burden. Nigeria is hard, economy is tough a wife who earns an income should work with her husband to ensure family needs are met and the man doesn't stress himself carrying all the burden. A woman's income is not a secret society issue abeg, every family should be able to plan income and expenditure and work together to achieve long term plans. It is the same women who will come and be crying that their husband's sibblings are next of kin yet they want to hide their salaries instead of working as a team to achieve financial success. A man is more than money for food and rent, a husband is more than that, a husband is a lover, partner and friend. If I go into a partnership then I should do so with no hidden assets or liabilities. Financial misunderstanding is a major problem in most marriages. When we stop making men mere pay cheques while we hide our money then we will start having a proper stake in our marriages. Marry proper husbands who you trust with your body and money. Marriage isn't that hard lets stop complicating it with outdated stereotypes that help no one |
Maximus85:Very crude question from a very crude man. Anyway suffering under the sun and operating under a self imposed curse does this to the brains,your own don fry finish. Lmao you are concerned about the marital status of a complete stranger like your life and your whole foolish logic depends on it. Anyway no one needs to dominate the other, you walk together help each other where one is weak the other is strong, you come in all honesty and naked-ness, forsaking all others, in one accord. Real married people are busy enjoying their marriage, you are here answering yourself because you are miserable and all alone with fantasies of dominating your mother. Married people do not have energy for your half baked foolish theories, they are busy making their marriages work in ways that best fit them. Done with you, I don't want your suffer suffer curse to affect me. |
Maximus85:Meanwhile it is not anybodys fault that after Christ's redemption you choose to live in a cave. Abeg what sweat does Bill Gates sweat before he eats? Technology has wiped out sweating and toiling get with it? Pain in childbirth, have you heard of epidural? Pain is now optional Mr Man. Climb out of your rock or go and dominante ya mama |
Maximus85:Boring, is your mother not a woman? Why are you vexing now? Go and dominante her abi are you not a man? Go and dominante ya mama and stop throwing tantrums on Internet women jor |
Maximus85:So the writer of Galatians is now a thief calling himself a pastor Lmao. Please read Galatians 3:13 abegiiii it is clear for who really wantd to read it said "All " curses " Every" curse it wasn't selective. But I am sure to convince yourself of " dominance " you can abuse the Bible writers that don't support your crude logic. As I said go and dominante your mother oga case closed |
Ehnnn poster, it seems you have never read Galatians 3.13 if you had then your whole curse/ dominance theory would have been bullshit. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: By Christ dying he took away every single curse of humanity including the curse of the garden of Eden. Even though I don't do religion abeg don't mislead your fellow Christians. There is no curse you peeps have been redeemed. Poster stupid argument. If you have any shitty low esteem chauvinistic theory to turn out abeg write it on a paper and give your mother and sisters |
Pidggin:Na wa oh, see how we subtly blackmail men. Is it everything that makes her happy thatis healthy for their marriage? I am sorry for quoting you but abeg that is not how marriage works in the 21st century oh. I am sure if he comes and says he wants her tp kneel down everyday and serve him food we will call him names we won't say ehnnnnnn fo it if it makes him happy If we want modern husbands then we too should act like modern wives abeg. Why would she be " happy " with half their income doing mother Christmas with money she didn't end. Marriage isn't about one person's happiness abeg |
2teezy:Well if you are not desperate you would not wait for an abusive man to kick you out. Anyway I wish you well |
Next time don't be doing " my brother " sign an agreement before you start a joint business and clearly state each persons role in the business. Sadly he has the power and will use it now to force you to do his biddings. You have no evidence that you shared your idea with him. You have no money and no house. It doesn't look good for you bros. You were naive take it as life lessons and use it for the future. Now there isn't much you can do |
You are one of those desperate women who cling to dear life to men who don't love you. Who think being a woman entitles you to fold your arms and wait to be provided for. Madam your husband has left you, you should have even left before he kicked you out. Go and get a job and quit whinning abeg, provide for your son before you havw money for divorce proceedings, it takes 2 years after separation to finalise a divorce. Women stop abeg, men are not atm machines. Even if it is pure water sell and do something with your life mbok |
First of all, does your wife not work? Is she aware of what you earn? Why should any sane woman ask for half of your salary for her people just for the holiday? What happens in January for school fees and house rent? What about your own people? Anyway I don't totally blame her, una go dey marry and will not be doing financial planning and family budget. Husband will be doing super man and hiding his income. Wife will be doing " smartness " looking for opportunity to chop money. It is insane for anyone to spend half his or her income just for their inlaws for Christmas. I will advice that oga head of home you sit your wife down and do better family financial management. Sort out your income and budget sane expenditure for BOTH YOUR FAMILIES what you can both realistically afford as gifts, if she is not working she has no business doing father Christmas to her people abeg. Women I am a woman and I say a husband is not a job or a source of income, if you are not working you have no business being family mother Christmas. If a husband decided to be magnanimous and give her something to give her parents let her collect with thanks and be greatful. Oga plan ya family |
