SFTG baby, Nigerians and marriage , like moths and light , even when it kills them they Search for the elusive elixir



..[size=2pt]rolls a blunt[/size]

Nigerians (expectially women) love marriage like Archimedes loved circles.

She is back in d market. So She is just displaying her wares ones again.

What I'm I to do with this news The news of a barren sex maniac.

ireneidiva:
It is spelt 'career'.

Oponu! Wọn n gba adie ẹ lọwọ iku, o ni wọn o jẹ ki oun re aatan lọ jẹun. . Women who shout about 'career' tickle me. The E-warriors make me think as a foreign investor that Nigeria is the best place to invest in.

cococandy:
What if they poison the baby

Actually surprised to get a reply. I think you find great sense in the fact that these two things were what made our mothers industrous cos of the limitless freedom. All things have disadvantages, poisoning of food is everywhere, monogamy is not excluded.Not actually telling you to give your child to your rival, when the waiting hands of grandma is there(part of extended family) to nurture your child. Like I said, so many VIABLE options.

AgentOfAllah:
It is not enough to throw statements around, highlight the flaws in his logic and point to the irrelevant examples, and tell exactly why they are irrelevant.



Science is agnostic, and accuses religion of nothing. But listen to yourself call god an infinite creature (without proof, no less), and then stop short of saying god isn't created. Where's the logical coherence in your argument? I suggest you look up the relationship between the words "creature" and "create".

Yes, it is NOT logical to say "matter cannot be created or destroyed" because that is an outdated postulation. By replacing/equating "matter" with "energy", science has since self-corrected that notion as it always does when new light is shed on any topic of interest.



It is not synonymous at all. Science has phenomenological evidence for its claims. Much less can be said of the Christian argument which is based solely on faith. No one rejects that anything is designed. We reject the lazy attribution of design to false (imaginary) designers/deities.



Again, no one rejects a designer. You seem to think your idea of god (a personal intelligent designer) is the only kind of designer that can exist. Read on the forces of nature and on entropy.

The emboldened question doesn't make any sense at all. Could you clarify?



Since you're not as stu.pid as those guys, surely, you care to share how "magic" (whatever it is) proves the existence of your god?



The bible is stuff of fairytale that tells us stories of a god nonbelievers are glad doesn't exist. It tells us of a god who asked his faithful, Abraham, to sacrifice his son, who asked Moses to ravage people's lands, properties, kill children, animals etc. A war mongering, blood-sucking, malevolent and disgusting god. A god that would command atrocities that make the holocaust seem like a love story, just to make a stupid point.



I wonder why you haven't applied the same litmus to your religion. "True god does not require blood of his creatures" you say? Here's a list of BLOODY atrocities committed by your "true" god. What's the other one again? "Highly contradictory" holy books. Dude, have you even read the bible? Here, I found you a ginormous list of biblical contradictions which you can verify at your convenience.

I just hope you're not another hypocrite, and you stay true to your criteria for determining false gods.

This is my second account. Let's just say 'creature' was an human error . I don't need to view your link cos I've read stuffs like that. You call bible a fairytale? Come off it! Tell me which one is a fairytale, is it Nebuchadnezzar or crossing of red sea or the fall of the great wall of Jericho? History will explain better. Tell me a place in Bible that God told Istrael to fight for fun? Or maybe you really think God a small boy, cos his a three letter word. If he destroys the universe, what are you gonna do?

I read where after the Palestines had taken the ark of God, which slain a great number of people, they took the ark to a certain people, those people shouted and cried, their cries were heard in heaven and they were not slain. This shows you that it is sin that separates man from God. I'm sure you don't understand the story of Isaac or you're playing a fast one.

It is very sad that you don't know what is called theory and law, if you do, the law of matter(energy) is constant and as gone through all observable checks. Big bang is a theory because it still has a hell lot of questions to answer.

You say you believe in an Infinite being, who created the world, but that being is silly enough not to reveal himself. Faith is something extraordinary and scientific, if you have great faith, give it the most difficult of puzzles, it will unravel it.

I am not here to prove silly that God(of Bible) exist, but here to defend my FAITH .

msrita:
So I really like this guy , we're in the same faculty and level but different departments so we share the same lecture venue for all our lectures.
He's really cool and quiet and that's what I like most in a guy. I stare at him a lot though I try not to and I catch him staring at me sometimes too , sometimes we turn at d same time to stare at each other, the issue is he seems to be ignoring me, I mean he talks to almost every one I relate and associate with ,but he acts as though he doesn't see me , he'll walk up to where I'm standing with a group of friends and greet everyone there except me ,sometimes he passes too close for someone who doesn't like me , his body brushes mine lightly, well we've greeted a few times . I get a lot of attention from guys in my class dunno if that's why he doesn't wanna get close or because the most wanted guy in my class is my best friend though people believe we are dating and I'm an easy person , it even shows on my face. But common I like this guy naturally and wanna be friends with him , I don't think further than that or maybe I do, and oh! He has a favorite girl in our venue , he walks mostly with only her ,u hardly even catch walking with guys its either only him or her. So what's your take on this people, please no harsh comments ,a sister is just sharing her feelings. Thanks.

So you think its a must for him to like u? This is the mistake so many people make(expectially women.) They will later complain of being laid after the guy must have acted his friends' script. Face your studies, cos no one wants a jobless nigga.

Angelina996:
277% in post UTME? How?

Its the lord's doind . Have you gained admission?

skydeep:
I chose women as the subject because they are the pillar of the house. Shaky pillars is a warning to a catastrophic occurrence of a building. Today's women are really focused on their careers more than their families . An instance is the trend, or can I say the norm of celebrities especially the women having failed marriages. Does that mean our women have lost the motherhood qualities? They embrace their careers so much that it almost choke. Where is the love for the family?

I have a friend who was filing for divorce just because her husband asked her to quit her job and concentrate on building the joy back to their family.
There are things we just have to compromise for the sake of the future of our children.

The solutions are extended family and polygamy. Women expectially in the west(muslims) are tapping into the immense freedom these two give. Just imagine you giving birth to a child and after weaning, there are already five people willing to care for the child. You can travel for months because your husband does not depend on your wifely duties. Think about it and give me your reply. Carefreewannabe, cococandy, what's your take? These are simply few of our lost african treasures, which we are consequently feeling the effects. These are the cheap ways to female freedom, which is easily available to you, yet you pay for it under feminism.

Richest Lifestyle, a US-based website, has listed President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria as the 6th Richest African president.
In an article titled, ‘Richest African Presidents 2014′ , the US website compiled a list of the nine richest presidents and kings in Africa. According to the article, President Jonathan is worth $100million. Other African presidents and kings on the list include;
1. Jose Eduardo dos Santos of Angola – Net Worth: $20 Billion2. Mohammed VI of Morocco – Net Worth: $2.5 Billion3. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea – $600 Million4. Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya – Net Worth: $500 Million5. Paul Biya of Cameroon – Net Worth: $200 Million6. King Mswati III of Swaziland – Net Worth: $100 Million (The monarch shares the number 6 spot with President Jonathan)7. Idriss Deby of Chad – Net Worth: $50 Million8. Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe – Net Worth: $10 Million

Do you guys think he is not worth up to 20Billion Dollars (US) ?

crackhaus:
You can't tell her/HIM what to do, but you can deliberate on things during meetings before most decisions are reached.




You mean children should see parents argue and deliberate over decisions? Sorry, I do not agree...this point thus ends here.


A woman in charge of her family is a lot more dominating and controlling than a man who is. Fact!


No such thing as shared power of final decision where two people are involved, one person will have to compromise.
The point is regardless of who compromises, the power of final decision rests on the man.


@emboldened, funny how you now see a scenario where kids should not witness arguments or advice between parents.
Your first example is also not wise. Children should not see one parent argue, advice, or go against the other no matter the scenario...full stop!


I don't know if it's a case of your psyche, but patriarchy does not mean women are inferior. This is the excuse bitter feminists base their arguments on because they hate male-dominated societies.


If you think patriarchy is the cause of this, then therein lies your problem.
That you read one or two stories of men who did it does not make it the norm. Plenty polygamous homes have existed and will continue to exist where the women in it live in peaceful coexistence.


I already gave you the underlying premise behind inheritance, I don't know what you're saying here.
Again I ask, what does a woman getting married into another family want with her father's property?


Not many.
I doubt if any man will send his faithful, loyal, and beautiful wife out of a house they built together from scratch.


You will learn that they do soon enough, two people do not occupy the exact same position and share an exact equal amount of power at the exact same time.

There's always a hierarchy no matter how equal it seems on the outside.


He is a man, he proposed, the woman drops her name to adopt his, he is the figure head in that marriage, he is the leader by hierarchy...this gives him a little more power.

It has been this way for ages and will continue to be, so get with the programme.


Because we are men, deal with it.

Over 2000years of growth and civilization has made it so. You can ask your bf to marry into your family, bear your surname, and acquire your property if that's how you want it...good luck with that and in finding a man who will agree to it


Her husband's property is not hers, but her father's own is? Explain this logic to me please

I thought you were one of those who said on some thread a while ago that a man's property is also his wife's by reason of marriage?
What is this one you're saying now?


All emboldened are your words not mine.

Like I hinted before, rid and purge yourself of the notion that all men see women as inferior...whatever got your psyche to this point is something I'm still trying to figure out.

Guy you get time o. I guess you are just using feminism as a means of chatting cos feminism has little or no effect in Nigeria. I'm sure it has no effect on you.

Stillfire:
*Thank you, thank you, daalu, ose, obrigado, danke, *

Give me one thing you have benefited from feminism?










If only I never knew you are looking for cheap popularity(also a cheap means to chat on NL) like carefreewannabe, who couldn't tell Mysogynist2014 a single oppression she has faced as a lady in Nigeria; I would have called you a fööl for being a troll.


















I just pray Mysogynist2014 comes back from maclatunji's meaningless religion suspension and pounce on unscrupulous commodities like you.

cococandy:
I look at women who don't see the benefits that they have been allowed because of the efforts of feminist as ungrateful betrayers.

It's one thing to say you don't support radicals(like I don't)
It's another thing to say you don't support entirely the movement that gave you the freedom to even be heard in the first place.

Benefits of feminism in Nigeria Pls, I beg of you to list them.

skyladon22:
yes we do spend

remsly:
Such gals are hard to see now especially In 9ja our gals eye dey red 4 money matter.

They scarcely exist!




Spending money on a girl is like throwing money into the gutters.

greatgod2012:
It's obvious and unfortunate that many don't really understand what marriage is all about.
Marriage is all about partnership, teamwork, in everything, every aspect and every area in love, understanding and empathy.
Marriage is not about one-man battalion, it's about two people working as one in every area that involves their marriage and lives.
If, as wife, you really love your husband, with understanding and empathy, you will realise that it's "unmarriage"(formed by me) to saddle your husband with all the financial responsibilities, apart from the fact that it isn't good for his health, it shows that you yourself aint committed to being teamed up with your husband, (selfishness)which sooner than later, may brings up unhealthy marital relationship to spring up.

Similarly, if, as a husband, if you really love your wife and see her as part of you, you will involve her in every decision to be taken at home, and in your life, when it comes to household matters, you will know that you're both one and act accordingly. You will see her as part of you that mustn't be neglected or abandoned.
At the end of the day, both parties enjoy their commitment towards each other and peace reigns absolutely.

Is marriage defined as relationship btw just 2 people, or have u forgotten polygamy exist?

Women and beauty are two overhyped commodities.

Sweetlemon:
They assume ownership of a bride once the bride price has been paid. If the girl is lucky enough they will do traditional wedding but the white or even court wedding will be till further notice. In fact, unless a girl's family are strong Christians who will insist on the complete wedding rites before allowing their daughter move in permanently with man, the man will not think seriously about a formal wedding.

The thing is that most girls are too willing to allow this happen. Unless they pester the man for a court or white wedding, they will wait a long long time, after dropping one or two kids before having this. But their wives don't seem to be very serious about this. I mean, this trend is becoming too rampant nowadays. A good case study is that of P Square duo. (I love P Square and their brides not saying this to hate o) All the other celebs did both trad and white almost immediately after. Yet the P Square family even their brother Jude, are not about taking their brides down the aisle. I know a few girls personally who are doing this.

Ladies please let's be very careful with this issue. A church or at least a court wedding is more solid. With a traditional or just introduction, the man can wake up one morning and throw you out of the house, bring in another woman and there is little or nothing you can do. But when documents have been signed, you get the opportunity to fight for rights to property, fair treatment, etc if you can get a good lawyer. Also, with a certificate, your marriage is recognized anywhere in the world. For instance, without a marriage certificate, your "hubby" living abroad cannot invite you over abroad as it's done in most countries. You will have to go through another route.

Please if you are in this kind of arrangement, use all wisdom available to you to get yourself an official document. The longer you procrastinate, the more difficult it will be for the man to finally tie the knot while you live in his house.

After reading this piece, my brain has been trying in futility to bring out the minutest of sense in this piece. Here are my conclusions-:
1) You think divorce can only affect women
2) That only men can bring up divorce in cases like this
3) That traditional marriage is useless and baseless
4) That rather than a means of saving money, it is a problem to the society.
5) That it is possible to chase wife out of house on which you both have names.
6) That marriage like this are most likely to fail.

















Still can't make tangible sense out of your tasteless post.

A man in India has sliced off his penis with a sharp knife in a fit of rage after a heated argument with his wife, police said. The man was angry that the couple doesn’t have a male child.
“The man was upset for some time for having only two daughters, and repeatedly taunting his wife for not bearing a male child. This led to a dispute between them,” a relative told police.
This shocking incident, according to The Times of India, took place in Siwan district’s Khojwa village. Relatives informed police that the man, in his early 30s, works in Qatar and currently is at home on leave for a month. Police said the critically injured man was admitted to a hospital and they were investigating the matter. What happened to his private part is not yet clear. http://www.punchng.com/feature/weird-planet/upset-at-having-no-son-man-cuts-off-own-genitals/

pweetyz: ..None taken..i doubt that though cos it is stated in both the old and new testaments and i don't think the bible fades..
stillfire Eves sin was not the main reason..if you read those bible passages..you'll see that it was mostly the because she was made out of man..

Leave him and let him continue to bask in his state of self delusion and fantasy. Try this beautiful Christian website www.jesus-is-savior.com/

Misogynist2014: Immediately I read your post, I immediately checked your profile, my guess was good. The thoughtless statement came from an atheist. You sounded even more domineering than I ever will. You made the arguement and found the solutions , then why did you quote me? To make me read your "intelligent" post or to show me how brilliant you are.
I asked an atheist one day, if big bang can explain the existence of magic, which I know it can't. If it is then true that magicians like Chris Angels can make mockery of the foundational scientific Laws(which are true but only in the physical and natural realm). Is it then safe to use science without accommodating the spiritual realm in the explanation of our universe? The fööl chickened away from the simple question, so would deluded and proud people like you. You will never learn until it is late.
Yes men are superior to women, yes women are superior to men. Just the way a white cloth can boast of being lighter than black is the same way a black cloth can boast of being darker than white, but both are not equal, neither is one superior to one another, if all conditions are kept constant.
But conditions are not constant in our world. The properties men have are much more needed in our daily activities and that of women are highly regarded in the home. The YORUBA knew these properties and decided to make the best use of it.
They appointed the Iyalode(women leader) in the palace in order to hear the feelings of women, and also made the position of queen highly regarded e.g. A proverb goes thus: There is no honour for a King with no queen. They made sure they completely alienated men from certain works, though they knew they could do it as good as women. E.g. Selling farm produce of their husband, selling of cooked foods, shelling of palm oil e.t.c. They made giving birth to a child look like discovering gold e.t.c. Women traded a lot and amazingly,they were allowed to keep their profit and own property. Any man that räpëd a woman is castrated or if its a stranger, he is banished from the land. If as a couple, you fight one another, your family intercedes and all is brought to calm. In fact, men respected women and women respected themselves.
It is this piece of intellectual idea that has made feminism loose so much attention in SW Nigeria, you can confirm it on television, women call their hubby 'my owner' and instinctively kneel down. Almost all modern Yoruba women don't see anything wrong in this, the worst you can see is that women must put something on table(which is good).
The problem with feminism is that 99.9 % of women are naturally submissive. The reason why feminists are so aggressive and cold is not because of men but because they are trying to use it to cover the submissive part of them(I challenge you to tell me a feminist with an unharming smiling face you see on happy school girls). Chimamanda Adichie is a naturally submissive woman, that is why she can't let go of the idea of changing to her husband's name, because deep inside her, she wants to.
Chat with a feminist on Nairaland, she starts high and all of a sudden, she becomes low and begins to ask you why you had to say something abusive to her(as if looking for consolation or apology), you get to feel a little bit sorry for talking to a woman like that, but you behave like a man and continue like nothing happend.
I know a lot of women are being genuinely oppressed, I feel sorry, but oppression cuts across both genders and everything can be settled under HUMAN RIGHTS, without trying to ignite any gender to being ashamed of their natural behavior.

Help me tell cococandy babygirlfl and carefreewannabe. God bless your MOTHER.

babygirlfl: The secondary school that I attended taught me that communication is key. I was made to understand that I do not need to insult or call names to put my point across. The same secondary school taught me enough maths to do a course in university that involves maths in a country where you do not need to pay your way and still finish with a very good result. Now that secondary school is what I call good.

Common sense tells me not to assume a whole gender lacks common sense and also that communication without insult is best.

The last part is not for me. Mrs Name calling will have to answer that.

Story of the gods, by the gods and for the gods.

cococandy: Ladies don't have common sense?
I'm learning something new

You must be a drop out...................hisses.

MarieSucre: woooow. i did not know there were so many wo 'men' who understood the plight of the female folk. craziebone, emmalot, koyes and co hows the sex change going. have you guys taken your oestrogen dosage today?

I have testosterone(which shows I'm a MAN). . As you read from my posts, I don't give a fück about feminists, all I'm her for is to make sure innocent female folks don't fall into this trap. <>

babygirlfl: Why the name calling? Please put your point across without such insults.

Maybe you were not opportuned to attend a good secondary school or because as a lady, you lack common sense(assuming) . Let me teach you some maths; Cococandy said men = women , therefore it is mathematically correct to say cococandy is a man, isn't it? Then Mrs Name Calling, tell me why a man cannot marry a woman. This simple maths is the reason for the ever skyrocketing number of lesbians in Europe and America.

koyyes: I can't speak for all feminists who are housewives. But I do believe that circumstances have pushed alot of people( men and women) to makes sacrifices they never thought they would ever make. I don't think any woman should be disrespected simply because she is a housewife either by choice or circumstances. I think its harsh for anyone to paint motherhood as a disease even if she/he decides not to have kids. Even though she has no kids,oprah loves putting smiles on childrens faces and she tries her best to give back to the society. Sometimes,i forget she isn't even a mother.

Your points are inconsistent, if the poorest and richest of women can have children, no woman has the RIGHT to waste a whole generation cos of her greediness and desperation. The only thing feminists seek is AUTHORITY, check the face of a smiling feminist and face of an innocent smiling woman, you will understand my point. #desperation #SayNoToFeminism #Womenagainstfeminism #HappyMother #LoveAllWomen . Life is to short to be sad over nothing. Smile! Smile!! Smile!!!

craziebone: you are actually wrong here! The feminists culture in which we are living in now is actually targeted at distroying pshycology and sexuality of men! It is aimed at targeting the very things that make up men and turn men into that which they (feminists) do not even like!

Many men are already being told that which can best be described as false education of him.

We are told by the feminist culture that men are intimidated by successful women when the truth is that the reason he doesn't go for 'powerful' women is that he wouldn't even be her choice in the first place especially when the lady in question has everything going for her including age. So the boy begins to decieve himself that he would be the lady's choice not knowing that it is ALMOST universal among women not to take someone over whom they have a percived advantage.

When he trys to be a 'real man', who is not intimidated by rich and 'powerful' women, and attempts to get such a woman who is 'above' his level and he gets rejected repeatedly, and because we cannot stop being a product of our experiences, he decends into a real psychological sickness which could result in the most fatal. And when that happens, you will be hated by the very people who created a psychotic you!

This is the experience of Elliot Rodger.

You are very right, that is why we all have to love our women and protect them from this evil organization, their joy is our joy, love your woman and never let the evil ones into her.
Nigeria is partly free from them, we should not let this evil and anti family system spread.

cococandy: All the answers you seek is in the original post.
No debating with anyone today.


Even you @ craziebone

I would have loved men like me to ignore women like you, and allow you to dwell in your fantasy, but we can't. You people are to emotional to think straight. I personally don't give a damn if you want to write babble every single second of your life, but I just can't help the thought that many innocent women(who know what a woman means) would be influenced to join your course. That is exactly what I'm fighting against. I hate to see women feel sad for who they are. We must all fight for equal human rights, but all of humanity should fight against equality.Women are not inferior because they are women, they are different. This difference must be protected. Cococandy has a fishbrain, she thinks she is a man, so there is certainly possibility she will marry a woman(***modified Cococandy marring a woman and not marring a man).

bukatyne: so God and man relationship is same as man to woman?

I give up

Chimamanda I know, Clinton I know, who are you?

Women(some) are too emotional to know the truth, any attempt be any organization(Feminism, Rockefeller), man or woman to reduce the power of men will only end up reducing our influence(cannot affect our wisdom and quest for knowledge and dominance) and render many women sad, break family and end up building more lesbians.
