bukatyne:It did liberate them financially or materially speaking. For a girl who did have enough growing up, she gets swooned with lots of gifts, money and travels. The emotional side is where it gets ugly. Smart ones, like the ones I schooled with, quickly married after graduation to equally well-to-do men. Like one told me, she could not lose on both sides. Win-Win ![]() |
Kobojunkie:I have responses to your questions, but I don't want to be drawn into a debate with you. Ciao! ![]() |
SIONKPO1:The deed - pregnancy - has been done, but the consequences are socially and economically terrible. Pregnancy affects women, whether unmarried or married, way more than men. There are options for preventing a child from being born. If those options are not utilised, anything she sees, she should take it like that. People need to be held accountable for their actions. That is an important aspect of responsible living. |
Darren95:I want to assume APC sponsors him, but if he is independent, it is high time influential Igbos in Lagos openly condemn his outbursts. It is just totally ridiculous. The way I see it, Northern Christian leaders lobby harder and strategically than Igbo leaders in Lagos. |
Shedrack777:That is not true. Women are demisexual, and men have testosterone. It is men who consume more porn content than women. There are literally plenty of studies to support it. It is a lie that women consume more porn content than women. The industry is built and supported by men simply because of testosterone. Also, men love sex way more than women. It is men who patronise sex workers. Sex workers don't sleep with themselves or transport themselves to Mauritius, Seychelles, or branch hotel hideouts anytime they are in a new town. The existence of testosterone is enough evidence to let anyone who did elementary biology in secondary school know that men love sex and would do anything to have it. Even in prosperous societies, men, not women, patronise and perpetuate the sex industry by having concubines and mistresses. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22552705/#:~:text=Sexual%20desire%20is%20typically%20higher,in%20studies%20of%20sexual%20desire. |
SIONKPO1:The way my siblings and I were brought up eh, you are on your own should such decisions be taken. Not one, but two? Ah We were trained that actions have good or bad consequences, and you alone would face them. There is condom, abortion and postinor. |
bukatyne:Even though I am liberal on sexual issues, I won't lie o, anytime I think about it, I agree that easy access to sex and contraception has rendered marriage less palatable. Why buy the cow when the milk is widely available and free? For instance, in western countries, birth rates are higher than in East Asian societies simply because the latter frowns on wedlock. A western couple can cohabit and bear children. In east Asia, dem must marry before a child is born. The people who get to benefit from the current arrangement are well-to-do men. They have literally have plenty cows without owning a ranch. ![]() |
3kay945:While some single mothers became so due to unfortunate circumstances, I consider it very unfair and lopsided for a young man who has social value to marry a single mother. He should be rewarded with marrying a lady with an unscathed reproductive history. A man in his prime should get the best. After all, if he were a riff-raff with no value whatsoever, she would not go close to him or if he was not financially comfortable, she won't even consider him even if she was single and had no children. So, why should a young man with high social value do the same? I believe single mothers' best target should be men willing to marry more wives, divorced men and single fathers. Another possibility would be if her children are girls, some single men might agree. But boys? Not just, but two? No! It sounds unfair, but life is not fair. It is why when people make decisions, they should always be prepared to face the consequences, whether good or bad. Also, it is even the women in men's lives that would vehemently kick against these single men marrying single mothers. So maybe single mothers should talk to women in men's lives. That said, the story is OP's imagination. His profile says he is a story teller. |
Rokiat:Boys o. Not just one, but two. It is even the women in men's lives, aka his mother and sister(s) that will kick against them marrying single mothers. Being a single mother is tough and should not be normalised (out of wedlock offcourse) and you have other women enabling them throwing babies showers when bi..tches get pregnant for these good for nothing dudes no what we need is to bring shame back so women can stop doing this to themselves. It doesn’t do you any good in the long run to be popping babies for these men free of charge without him putting a ring on it. It is absolutely unbelievable and doing it over and over again is what baffles me. Shouldn’t women be more smarter by now in this time of information to have Educated themselves enough to know if a man doesn’t commit fully to you aka marry you, stop giving them children just stop.The same applies to single fathers. The best environment for raising children properly remains the two-parent household consisting of a man and a woman. The thing about this world is that, the people who champion certain lifestyles or ideologies either want more people to be like them aka misery loves company or want to see how such ideologies/lifestyles have their effects on human beings. They preach it but don't practice it. They want to use other people as a test bed for their ideologies. Additionally, those who champion such lifestyles are financially comfortable to mitigate the ill-effects of their choices, but ignorant people would not know. Linda Ikeji can come tomorrow praising single motherhood, but many won't realise she is a rich woman. Meanwhile, the vast majority of single mothers are poorer than their married counterparts, and even poorer than single father counterparts. Ya all out here flipping the game on us, making men the prize giving them kids free of charge. What did that man give you in return other than his presence? The worst one is seeing 3 different women being baby mama for the same man fighting ove that man attention. Goodness gracious someone that couldn’t even give you his last name. Using your bodies and wombs and risking your lives to give children to men without marriage. My generation so damn lost.Sha, men have always been the prize. A well-groomed/healthy man with a consistent, growing and reliable source(s) of income who is educated and well-exposed is a gigantic prize. |
ednut1:Never would I have expected Nigerian-born women who later relocated to decide to be child-free. But sha, comot raising children within a two-parent household, many people no go marry o |
Hilariousthiago:Yes. But it is a burner account, so I cannot share it. |
MrBrownJay1:NL's most prolific globetrotter! Na so one say you never see airport. ![]() |
Starboytwo:You did not attack the modafvcker OP, it is me? Am I the one who slandered a tribe as a hungry person? I am irked when I see poor people indulging in tribalism. It makes no sense. The same generator fumes the Igbo man inhales is what he sniffs, ditto the appalling quality of life. If you must be tribalistic, at least be doing well financially. That way, you are above the average person in the ethnic group you slander. Now tell me, what makes him different from an Igbo man in the same condition? Who knows, the average Igbo dude with a first class would not go about impreganting someone while being chronically under-employed! |
studyless123:But honestly, why do those people think you had the power to facilitate their trip to the US? You be visa official?
|
wahalawahala:To be fair, those questions are apt. Any sensible person who wishes to help him must ask him those questions and further more based on his responses. But what do I know when I am not Tinubu? ![]() Agbado ronu ooo!!!! |
I wanted to drop some nuggets, but OP is a poor ret@rded and fo0lish tribalist! He should meet Tinubu or Dayo Israel for advice. Agbado Ronu o!!!! |
workchopNG:Apparently, with the first class, he does not have sense. Why is it that Agbado's disciples are always poor? Na so one talk say even if Igbos offer his family N500m, they will not sell their land. Only for him to do begi-begi under Shettima's tweet. ![]() C'mon! Are these guys not shameless? ![]() |
pocohantas:I am curious, apart from demand by the sugar-daddies and big boys for women with big yansh, why do they undergo the knife seeing pictures of those who underwent the same process? |
chatinent:Exactly what I thought. But at least she is honest to show it off before the rumble. Because I will be pissed off if I see those marks. I understand the market demands big yansh, but these girls should get it done with an experienced doctor. To me, natural remains the best. |

Regex:Their problem is multifaceted. Women want the man to remain the major provider but simultaneously want equality in the household. The cost of housing is another issue. The way people lament about housing in Canada is frightening to me. It is one of the purported reasons Japan has a higher birth rate than her East Asian neighbours or cultural sibling like Singapore. https://www.economist.com/asia/2022/05/19/asias-advanced-economies-now-have-lower-birth-rates-than-japan Women sef don realise say they can live independently without a man. The cost of raising children is very high, and for most people, they marry because of children. So, it is part of the reason birth rates in developed countries are very low. East Asian own is extremely low compared to the west because they don't have children out of wedlock. Few marry without having children, unlike in the west. I have asked some of them questions about childbearing. The responses are: postponed marriage till further notice or just a child or no children at all. https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Society/One-in-four-30-somethings-unwilling-to-marry-in-Japan-survey In summary, children don't have immediate usefulness in a society with political stability, longevity, high educational attainment and no arranged marriage. Women, as a result of being educated, have gotten choosier and, in a wealthy society, prefer being on their own. |
Raalsalghul:Bros, The situation dey everywhere. Two days ago, I was watching a CNN video on YouTube about the decline in marriage. The expert said it is because young men are not educated as before due to a focus on educating women, offshoring of manufacturing jobs which men usually hold, women squaring up with men economically but maintaining hypergamous standards for filtering them etc. The issue, he said is that there is a dearth of quality men for these women who are in great abundance. As a result, men are staying lonelier since this group of women don't want them. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK4y6C1Uuhw If to say na black man, I for think say na our brother in Christ - Pansophi.st. ![]() Modernisation has been very good in providing goods and services - affordably and seamlessly. Also, quality of life has improved tremendously, and poverty has declined drastically. But it has resulted in sheer competition for scarce resources, and with women in the workforce, the competition gets fiercer. So, an average man is not just competing with his fellow average dudes but women, some of them are treated preferentially. Na one of the reasons the new South Korean president won, the men got fed up with how women were treated preferentially, yet they (men) are mandated to enlist in national service and have to be the provider in the family. In return, South Korean women no dey gree born or marry since they want to be very good at whatever they do and don't want to continue in the patriarchial system as their mothers. The result? The birth rate in SK is the lowest globally at 0.8, way below the standard for developed countries at 2.1. The same competition is part of the causes of low birth rates in China, Singapore and Japan. Unlike other parts of the world, in East Asia, children born out of wedlock are frowned upon. Rightfully so, because children born in single-parent families tend to be poorer than their parents, and single-mother families tend to be the poorest. In Japan, families with single mothers constitute the highest number of poor people. So East Asians are wary of having children out of wedlock. The costs are just too high socially, economically etc. Government no dey care about them. They focus on married couples. You see why I laugh when our people promote baby-mamaism? ![]() So, Nigeria's case is even worse than the US, especially in the south; the competition for scarce jobs is very high. In 2018 abi 2019, more than 76K applied for PwC's graduate trainee. That same year, Seplat's applications was over 40K (i wrote about the recruitment process then on NL). Since then, Seplat never recruit again. Meanwhile, she is supposed to recruit every four years. In North America, oil companies recruited as oil prices climbed up. In Nigeria, companies no even see the oil to pipe to the awaiting seaborne tankers. If not for religion and maybe culture, marriage rates for don drop in Nigeria as people would see that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Religion offers hope. Africans' case is even worse than East Asians because they cannot move out easily to neighbouring countries to work and earn higher salaries. Japanese, South Koreans and Singaporeans can work in Australia, New Zealand, the US etc., earn higher salaries and later move back. The average Japanese who knows English has opportunities to work in Australia or apply for an L1 visa to work in the US for higher salaries. After all, more than 60% of the 24K+ Japanese researchers outside Japan are women. Where a typical Nigerian woman or man wan go? Na Niger Republic or Chad? Ghana? South Africa wey try dey OK, dem no like us. Even them sef get their wahala. Meanwhile, South Koreans are in the top 15 nationalities for Express Entry to Canada. Luckily for these Asians, the re-offshoring/friend-shoring of jobs away from China would benefit them in the long run. I was thinking yesterday one of the reasons for the high rate of hookups na because things don hard for Nigeria. Just like the YT video, there are very few quality Nigerian men, unlike during Jonathan's administration. The few quality men are either married or have japa or want to japa. As jobs no too dey with low salaries, high cost of living and exposure to social media (these girls want to live like South Korean women, but where the work dey?), they resort to hookup. Luckily for them, the average Nigerian man likes to fvck. So when ₦2 enters his hand, he has budgeted ₦1 for toto services. I recall a tweet then by one chubby girl paraphrased - "why enter into a relationship when the same fvck the man go want yet he is doing his part financially. I prefer hookup straightaway after all, na the same fvck we go fvck" ![]() |
LeeSmart:It is true. Check the report about him, the FBI even referenced his NL moniker. The rumour then was Beaf was Reno and Cramjones was FFK. |
People would say "start a business" but forget that even in the US - the world's most capitalist society, the vast majority of graduates search for jobs after graduation. In countries where almost every graduate is told to start a business or learn a trade, check every well, the unemployment rate is high. Where I am, the majority search for jobs in their penultimate year and resume when they graduate. Those who start businesses either have rich parents to back/support them during their nascent stages or come up with very innovative ideas not POS businesses and car wash stands. |
Angelfrost:Why do you think GeneralPula is not a paid propaganda agent? Gbawe as intellectwat as he sounded was paid, but not at the same level as Bremex. All are paid agents, the ranks differ. |
Raalsalghul:It is only a matter of time before he shuts the thread. Anyone who wants to preserve the data/information of this thread should do so now. In a matter of a few weeks, he would shut it down. Anyone who knows how Seun gaslight his ignorant/naive followers on Twitter should expect this from him. His second in command is Mark Essien. If they tell you good morning, assume it is good afternoon. They say one thing, and do another. |
Women are hypergamous, so nothing surprising. I cannot blame your sister, but the first dude who went about impregnating a lady he cannot marry. Does he think single parenting is done on an empty stomach? You never chop food belly full, you don give woman belly? What happened to ensuring your own life gets better financially rather than incurring unnecessary expenses/responsibilities? Next time, you people would learn that baby-mama mentality which you ignorant people promote is more expensive than actual marriage. The first man cannot dictate how she lives her life, she has to better her own life. Next time, he would learn to prioritise his interests rather than giving woman belly. |
dominique:The man must have been in the business for a long time - compound interest. Is she expected to do the same as he did within a short period of time? |
Jamestown123:The issue here is, compared to others; Obi was the better option. He is the only one who didn't support Buhari in 2015, which is a fair way by me to assess him. Anyway, just like the liars who claim to be Obidient then ask ridiculous questions. If you are/were truly an Obidient, you wouldn't have asked that question. Jamestown123: |
godwon01:My sympathies for the bold, but please what is the name of these places or the regions in the UK? |
