Twerky101:
Wow when I first read this, I was just too shocked to comment(because of the mediocre thinking of the op) but here goes.

**First off, some women age well believe it or not, I have seen plenty of those.
**Secondly you can't justify saying girls from divorced parents are not healthy and wouldn't know how to act in a proper family,wathuh That's total rubbish. Growing up with both parents doesn't guarantee emotional stability.
**so a woman shouldn't be career oriented?? Wow. Some people thinking capacity sha. So a woman's work should be only in the kitchen and of course in the other room? No woman really wants to work? Anyway I beg to differ. I think most women have greater purpose in life than that. it doesn't mean she can't also be family oriented
**she should be a good girl? Well different people want different things
**she should change just to please you? Sorry oo brother, are you looking for a wife or u looking for a toy? Make up your mind naw oo. Nobody has to Change who she is just to please a nigga. He is free to walk if he doesn't like who you are and seriously it's better that way because when you start changing who you are to please someone then you will end up loosing track of yourself and at a point you will become bitter, and we all know how a bitter woman acts.
**Let me just end here for now.
@Twerky101 lets have a discussion about your post shall we ?
I will itemize each point and respond to them in turn.


First off, some women age well believe it or not, I have seen plenty of those
Some. Not many, and definitely not all. A woman's best years in terms of looks are between 16 and 27 on average. After that its a toss-up; she may blossom in other ways, but looks are a bonus. I have classmates who were stunners in university (10/10 beauty-wise) and now 2 or 3 kids later when I see them on Facebook everything is gone.

No woman really wants to work? Anyway I beg to differ.
I agree with you here that this is a generalization and a bad one at that. But if we are honest, a rich husband is better than a poor one.

she should be a good girl? Well different people want different things
Yes and a man wants a good girl. That's why we play the field with the hoes and marry the church girls. Would you want your brother to marry a 'slay queen' ? Or look at it another way, why do you think a great proportion of actresses are unmarried ? It cant be because they are rich; there are many rich career women who find husbands but rarely actresses. Go figure.

she should change just to please you? Sorry oo brother, are you looking for a wife or u looking for a toy? Make up your mind naw oo. Nobody has to Change who she is just to please a nigga
Lets rephrase this: she should mold herself to her husbands ideals; within reasonable limits. Nobody is looking for a toy but if she brings bad habits and a 'talk-back' attitude to the relationship, then ....

He is free to walk if he doesn't like who you are
The young men are all walking away my dear in every state and city of Nigeria. Where has that led us? Old unmarried ladies, 'baby-mamas' everywhere, single parent households.

... seriously it's better that way because when you start changing who you are to please someone then you will end up loosing track of yourself and at a point you will become bitter, and we all know how a bitter woman acts.
It comes down to women trying to compare and compete with men. Its foolish and unproductive.
A woman should be humble (not foolish). Men want to love and respect women but they get in their own way
A woman has real and potent power which will grow stronger in the fullness of time if she is patient and feminine.
I have seen this on a few occasions.
An aunt of mine runs her household and makes all the decisions despite the fact that she is married to an Air-Force General. In her house she is the boss. She never shouts. She is quiet and composed and her husband defers to her because her decisions make sense. She got to that position by making tactful use of her feminine gifts not by opposing him. Over the years he has come to trust her judgement.
How different things would be if she was the fighting type.

Finally, you may argue with the delivery, but this writer has made some deep points. Put aside political correctness. This is the shizzle.
RomanceRe: Twelve Rules For Picking A Wife...no BS by GeorgeTheCoder:
This is one of the best posts I have ever read on NL concerning marriage. It makes up and then some, for all the bullshi.t articles I have put up with on this site


First, some points which I disagree with.

2) She has to come from an intact family with original mother and father.
No step-mommies and step-daddies. Children from single mommy homes cannot be healthy.

Generalizing and discriminatory. Its not her fault her parents broke up; but men should still be watchful

11) She should not have any children from a previous affair.
Again another generalization. There must be exceptions. Some ladies are widows and some escape bad unions.



Now for some real gems from the article!

Are you saying all party girls, smokers and drinkers are sluts?
"Yes."

cheesy cheesy cheesy I couldn't stop smiling. A hoe will reveal herself bro!

12. She should be a smiler.
Ignore this at your peril. A woman who doesn't smile is more dangerous than a snake.

Men are not women and women are not men. Things that women should do do not apply to men and vice versa. Double standards exist. That's life.
This is so true


Women marry up and men marry down, since the dawn of marriage....
Never thought of it this way. Its true

Getting married is a business decision. Marriage is a contract between two entities. You've got to enter into it with the ruthless mind of a determined businessman for it to work.
Boss!

On the whole , a very good article! All men (and women too!) should read this.

Nigeria's Nobel Prize winning author Wole Soyinka has strongly criticised the two main contenders in Nigeria's presidential election:

Buhari and Jonathan are problematic candidates

"Buhari and his partner General Tunde Idiagbon, after [former military head of state] Sani Abacha, I think they represented the most brutal face of military dictatorship. There is no question about that," Mr Soyinka said.
...But the environment changes, circumstances change and… I look at the possibility of a genuine internal transformation in some individuals. I've been disappointed before and we must always be ready to be disappointed again," he added.

HealthRe: Doctor Amputates A Healthy Baby Who Was Thought To Have Died In The Womb (Pics) by GeorgeTheCoder: 11:47am On Apr 24, 2017
IamaNigerianGuy:
Dear Nairaland Readers,

I have taken time out of my busy schedule to comment on this news report.

As a doctor I feel very sad and deeply embarrassed at the state of healthcare in Nigeria. We can not afford to ignore this anymore.

There are many comments on this forum about this trend but few are constructive. I will address some of them as a way of making my points.

@DollarAngel -Nigerian doctors are shiits
No. Nigerian doctors are among the best in the world. They practice in every western nation and almost every African country. The only places you do not find Nigerian doctors in numbers are in asia and eastern Europe. Everywhere they go, they excel. But they fail in Nigeria. Does that say something?

@Dottore - Beware!!! Quacks and unqualified professionals are on the loose everywhere
You are right! The system has failed. We do not police the medical system as rigidly as we should. The government devotes as little money as possible to health care because they do not care about you. Nigerians visit quacks for their health needs but the president and governors fly abroad for treatment.
The medical schools are poorly run and make young people suffer unnecessarily to get a degree.
Doctors, nurses, lab scientists go on strike periodically to presss home their demands for a better system but the populace does not support them. How illogical!


@ifenes - Probably an agreement between doctor and baby subconsciously
Nonsense.

@gocaf - what nonsense...... i feel like slapping the hell outa that quack hospital and doctors. imagine a beautiful and innocent child like this, no wonder our politicians prefer London, U.S, Germany and India for proper medical care
our medical practitioners here in naija are 70% responsible for overseas treatment.
what a painful story!
No madam. You got it twisted the politicians are responsible for the poor state of health not the other way around.

@yemiprogress -...crying for this innocent bab
Crying will not solve the problem

The truth is we are too docile as a nation. The youth are weak, they are like sheep, afraid to speak, afraid to protest, afraid to make their voices heard, afraid to educate themselves on their rights.
Stop worshipping politicians. Dino, FFK, Fayose, Buhari, Saraki, et al cannot and do not want your progress. Start asserting your rights. Organize. Join politics. Unfollow all these bastar..ds on fb and twitter. Get a voters card. Start a fb page or whatsapp group. D not sit idly by.

The poor healthcare system will affect you one day no matter how rich or poor.

You are not helpless. You can do something the solution is political

1. Forward the picture of this poor child to the fb page of your Senator, Rep or Governor. Do same to the President, VP and senate president
2. Unfollow any politician on social media accused of corruption or incompetence at least the most obvious ones - Dino, Saraki, Dogara, the governors. #unfollowthebastard
3. Organize. Join a political group - any group as long as its progressive. Take up a leadership position. If you are reading this you are educated; if you are educated you should lead. Don't follow illiterates without certificates and allow them determine your destiny
4. Get a voters card and use it
