funmercy1:tv That ll only happen to an insecure lady. If a man is rich enough to do it, why not? But if a man is not financially stable to pay a bride price , there is no point period. If a lady loves a man, d least thing in her mind is bride price. All she ll be looking forward to is to spend every passing seconds with him. Marriage is being overrated in Africa cos africans attached unnecessary importance to it. You are all like this course of your society has made you to believe that marriage or bride price is necessary. Let me ask you dis question, do u eat LIZARD as a Nigerian? I presume your answer to be No. Why was your answer No? Cos you have been brought up in a society where it's forbidden or sold as a cause of epilepsy but go to part of China today, it's like our bush meat to them. It's your society that makes you think that bride price must be paid or marriage is a form of security to a lady. Check around you and see how marriage are collapsing at every passing seconds, were d bride prices not paid? How does a marriage certificates save failing marriages? My dear, there is much to marriage than all these petty things |
funmercy1:Alright Sir, I ll. Cheers. But before I go, I m not saying that bride price is not necessary as an African man but my point is that d moment a woman choose to use bride price as an excuse for a repulsive attitude. ............. |
sambisa5:Thank you sir for that explanation. Every bit of your words was clearly understood but I still maintain my stand that bride price are only celebrated among the poor. The first paragraph of your post is quite hilarious my friend, really!! who talks about bride price this day? I can't just imagine myself sitting among friends who ll think the next thing to waste our time on is bride price topic when our age group are somewhere making their millions and billions. Bride price could only be an interesting topic among the illiterates not d educated ones. You know what, the reason why u believed in all these norms is because you re an African man. Supposing you re born in western world, you ll see things from different perspective. My brother, there are fathers who will never take bride price cos they see it from d perspective of their daughters being sold. |
LAGATA:Amen. |
bukatyne:No!!! Men need my advice more cos 90% of problems are caused by women in marriages, these ladies go out there and portray their husbands as devils while they are killing the same man domestically. In d past, our forefather could be given that stipulated % but in 21st century, women are taking d lead. Fast forward to 21st century, men are more civilised, socially oriented and educated which informed their loving attitude towards d institution of marriage. If u doubt me, take a look around your neighbourhood and tell me how many guys that are ready to marry 2 to 3 wives like our forefathers? I presume your answer ll be negative cos they are more civilised and educated than our forefathers. Have you also noticed how loving 21st century guys are by cooking for their girlfriends and wives? If there was no camera in d elevator in which Jay Z was brutalised and battered by Solange, the same Solange could have accused Jay Z of beating and abusing her. And women world would have risen to d occasion by condemning Jay Z to death but cos it was a man, d whole case was swept under d carpet. Double standard !!! isn't it? The above case study is exactly what men are going through in their homes but no camera to show the world what their wives have subjected them into............. My dear, I have seen some marriages in which husbands have been turned to nothing but Mr Nobody and my heart wept for these men. Life could be funny sometimes and full of mystery; d good men always end up with evil/bad wives while good ladies always end up with bad men. |
sambisa5:Lol!!!!! No curse anywere!!!! My friend, you better get rid of these superstition and free your mind from being enslaved by all these unnecessary norms: bride price, a child shouldn't drop from d back of her/his mother, bend down or goes on your knees to greet your elders and all these craps. In the days of our progenitors, these measures were put in place to instill some morality, sense of entitlement/ownership to the bride and nothing more and of course to attach importance to d institution of marriage. And I like I stated in my earlier post, I have seen many broken marriages after couple of months and I believed that bride prices were paid in those failed marriages. Y There are load of guys like you out there who believed that things like bride price and some other trivial things could be d cause of disharmony in marriage. But i m here to tell you that u r wrong. Trust me on this, if a lady really want, care and love you for real, the least thing in her mind would be a bride price. All what would matters to her is your happiness. Pls d moment a lady says that the reason she is getting upset with you or giving you problem at home is cos you have not been to her family to pay a bride price, my friend, u better think twice. I was speaking to some friends few months back and they were bragging about how much their In-laws love them and all that but guess what I told them. I told them that they should give d credit to their wives cos their wives must have been a good PR of her family in the presence of her parents and siblings, otherwise........ If you are unfortunately married to a lady who believe in other things-bride price, material stuff over your happiness, the delivery of her PR job as a girlfriend or wife when she doesn't get what she wants would be really disastrous to your household. She ll bring u down in d presence of friends and her family and portray u as a bad person regardless of good things you have done for her. And that is why u see some husbands being disrespected by their In-laws. |
Ngwakwe:Who is this for God sake? |
aim5:My brother, I only learnt from my mistake in life. The mistake I ll forever stop my younger ones from making. I wanted to be d best, perfect, gentle and award winning husband in the world unlike (no beating though but firm and strong cos i have got several girls) when I was a bachelor but met something different in an institution called marriage. However, marriage is the sweetest thing in the world if you are with your heavenly destined wife. Like I always tell d younger ones, don't entertain d idea of managing a girl biko, there are thousands of ladies out there who ll cherish, adore and appreciate you as a man even if you are not rich. And when you are appreciated, adored and cherished by your wife, your dickk gets all d praise and nod at your wife everytime cos you are happy but when is d other way round, hmmm!!! It ll take Above all, cherish, love and adore your loving wife as if she is a baby, all in return for being a loving wife, mother and of course your friend. Cheers. |
Real men have now become a scarce commodity in 21st century for God sake. Women are now slapping these children who called themselves married men, married men indeed. Crying and spitting on this generation. It's now obvious to me why the present generation are not deemed worthy to hold political offices. In 60s and 70s, real men were holding ministerial portfolio at age of 29yrs cos they were real men. However, in my generation, men have now become sisi just cos of a mere plate of porridge under the skirts, tossed around, slapped and punished by 21st century ladies who believe that women can abuse, slap and beat these children called men without any consequences for that repulsive action. Please young abusive lady, stay away from someone like me who ll repeat your slap in 1million folds. I won't be slapping u back just to prove I am a man but to teach u and your likes that violence and abuse are the same; Both kills d person at receiving end. If you are upset/angry as a woman/wife/girlfriend, call me and talk to me and if I refuse to listen, leave me to come back to my senses and when i do, i ll be d one to apologise for any bad thing i might have done. However, abusing and calling me all sort of names won't change anything but cause more problems; it might trigger the animalistic part of any human being. And guess what, if you want to kill husband/boyfriend who has really offended you, pretend sometimes as if he hasn't done anything, trust me, his conscience ll kill him faster than you could imagine...... Finally, this issue is quite simple if you are a real man (Don't listen to these children of no substance and pedigree). The ones saying you are mature and all that crap. It's not too late young man, stand your ground now and be free for life or play this 21st century mumu husband (like some ladies and guys advising u to do here) and remain in this predicament for life. NB: If she slap you once, make sure you slap her 10times. It's either she leaves and you have your sanity back or stays and give you that respect you deserve |
Redlips22:Lol!!!! I pity people with this mentality of bride price. A bride price ll never change a bad lady to a good wife. Have you asked yourself why marriages are failing at alarming rate despite the fact that bride prices have been paid? Marriage are failingly and falling as result of silly things that are deemed to be important which are not. If you find a good lady who is in love with you without hiding her attitude while you are dating, bride price become d least thing in her mind, all she would be looking for is your happiness. |
Pls and pls @all, don't ever believe that marriage should be managed like a secular companies. You all deserve the best after going thru that stressful primary education to tertiary institutions; searched for jobs in labour market for months and eventually got one. Pls don't entertain their idea of managing a wife, you all deserve the best and go for the best. The least ting you deserve after stressful day at work is peaceful home but if you allow a bad lady to cajole u into marriage under d pretence of "Bride price", hmmm!!! I pity u and unborn children who ll grow up to see a miserable life. |
zeb04:Lol!!! It's easy said than done; I ll pray that you never find yourself in this situation. If you are well brought as a man in a healthy and loving married environment, you ll be determined to give your wife d best just like d way your father was doing while you are growing up but if you are unfortunately married to a wrong woman, you ll realise that those promises and dream of giving your wife d best is being broken by you as result of bad wife attitude and that is where your sadness in life ll continue to come from......... I pray for u not to see d other side of a woman |
dinachi:Pls tell these useless men who are nothing but men in women skirts. These are d men who encourage ladies to slap men and expect the man to walk away like a gentleman. You need to see them in their relationships and marriages, you ll pity them. They are completely finished. And the funny thing about these guys who claimed "Men don't beat ladies" is that their wives and girlfriends always end up dating a real man (speaking from true stories). I am saying men should beat ladies at every slightest provocation but all I am saying is that ladies should learn how to keep their bad mouth to themselves while men keep the hands to themselves too |
sambisa5:Lol @ all these useless Bride price you are talking about. A good woman ll always be a good wife regardless of anything. If you pay £1 billion today on a wrong lady as her bride price, you ll live to regret it cos she is naturally bad. No amount of incentives ll change a bad lady to a good wife. If you are cohabitating with a well brought up girl who is in love with u, d least thing in her mind would be a bride price. Haven't you seen people killing themselves after their wedding? Tell me if the bride price wasn't paid; it was paid but relationship is not all about that overeating bride price. Men deserve good wives. |
zeb04:Channel your advice and effort towards the wife not this loving husband or boyfriend. All you wanted to read was "my wife slapped and beat me but all I did as useless man was to walk away". What a shame!!!! There are well and properly brought up ladies out there; they grew up in healthy married environment not broken homes. And I ll advise men not to put up with these abusive wives. Op deserves the best. |
ladyinred:Why would the Op wants to be with an Abuser (permit me to use dat word Abuser)? You are one of d people that is indirectly encouraging these ladies to abuse and slap men in 21st century without any repercussions but it's quite obvious that ladies of 21st century are now dancing in this repulsive direction. What you guys don't know is that you are subconsciously creating avenue for homicides. She deserves everything she got. @Op, you deserve the best, don't allow these miserable people to make you feel as if u have done smting wrong. You are absolutely fine cos I can relate to your story and you won't know how good and loving husband you are until you meet your soul mate that would love,cherish and appreciate you as a man |
GentleToks: |
cococandy:These ladies ll pretend as if they are the best thing that has ever happened to you after slice bread but as soon as she feels that you are under her armpit, the true colours ll surface.............. Nobody can change anybody, all the bad attitude she exhibited has always been part of her that was initially hidden |
delugadou:I presumed that you have never seen these devils called women (not all but few good ones) in their homes(not when they are your girlfriends cos they ll treat u like a king); they ll push you to the point of committing suicide while they play little angel outside their homes. The worst thing to do at d point of trouble in your marital home is to make an attempt to get rid of her bad friends that are probably giving her support at that point in time. Trust me, you ll be called all sort of names; they ll say that you are very controlling and possessive. @Op, you dont need to be apologetic about it, you have done the right thing. This guy has done the right thing and there is no need to look for another avenue to blame him. However, like I always tell my younger siblings, regardless of your husbands' shortcomings, don't abuse him verbally cos as much as you could abuse him verbally, that is as much as he could abuse you physically. Talk and patience are the secret to healthy marriage. Don't listen to these miserable single ladies/friends claiming 21st century feminists; they are nothing but group of children that were raised by irresponsible and failed parents. |
Hi Op, first and foremost, you have sold yourself out before now to your wife. You may not agree with me but trust me, you are sold out for d reason best known to u. You belong to d group of foolish men that are being subconsciously coerced into believing that women can slap and beat you and get away with it by these 21st century useless ladies (Go through ladies' comments here and see the ones that were well brought up and the ones that re equally brought up from d gutter). Real men have now become a scarce commodity in 21st century for God sake. Women are now slapping these children who called themselves married men, married men indeed. Crying and spitting on this generation. It's now obvious to me why the present generation are not deemed worthy to hold political offices. You are finished in that marriage if you yet to realise it. Even if you stop giving that money to your family today, other issues would come up soon and your wife will result to what she knows how to do best; beat and slap you of course. Ode, I rebuke children like you in my lineage ijn, Amen. And guess what, being stupid like this is what kills marriage faster than what men thought. If you think being slapped and kicked will make women appreciate you, you better think twice cos when d right time comes, she ll be d one to dump your ass for a real man. Finally, this issue is quite simple if you are a real man (Don't listen to these children of no substance and pedigree). The ones saying you are mature and all that crap. It's not too late young man, stand your ground now and be free for life or play this 21st century mumu husband (like some ladies and guys advising u to do here) and remain in this predicament for life. NB: If she slap you once, make sure you slap her 10times. It's either she leaves and you have your sanity back or stays and give you that respect you deserve |
missjenna:It's quite sad, shameful, repulsive and shocking to see ladies like this who will simply say well done to a man that has been brutalised, beaten and slapped in his own home for not beating his wife in retaliation for what d wife had done. Enough said. |
babasanti:Chaiiiii!!! That man can sell Nigeria for a plate of porridge............ Apariiii |
ozoigbondu:Heaven and earth knew that Iwu is the worst INEC chairman ever in the history of this country and deserve to go when he was asked to leave. Jega and Iwu are not in the same class as far as integrity and pedigree are concerned. If Iwu was in a country where rule of law works, he should be dancing Etighe in prison by now with all his electoral atrocities. |

I have been with different babes from other side of my region; destiny has refused to lead Yoruba ladies towards my way. It's either I am with calabar, urhobo or Igbo lady......... I quickly learn how to cook it on my own when I realised that these ladies have started using dis my yummy soup to hold me to ransom.

Why are Nigerians shouting about this toll gate all d time? Toll gates are all over the world for God sake. Why are these people want to commit suicide cos of Tinubu? Federal government has done everything possible to nail Mr Tinubu but failed all d way. If Tinubu is truly making so much money from this toll gate or has made so much money as alleged, it would have been very easy for Jonathan govt to blackmail Tinubu to submission politically. There is a Dartford crossing toll gate in UK; link between London and Essex. It costs £2 each time you drive through dat toll gate and dis toll gate has been there for decades. If you drive your car through West End(city) btw 6am to 6pm, it ll cost u about £11 but in Nigeria, it's free. I swear with everything I have, in d month of November to December alone, I paid about £460 on parking tickets alone and mind you, I got all the ticket right in front of my house........ |
