For the 1st time u ask us 4 money, it means u ave disvirgined us. So a typical kanji guy would want 2 retaliate.
So, don't disvirgin us by asking 4 money n we won't disvirgin u. Shikena

pinkshell:
U don't need to get married to get all u listed above

For ur domestic chores u cld get an househelp
For ur frnds n fam bothering u, avoid too many visits
For kids wu wld bear ur name, u cld get a desperate gal to be ur baby mama, just mk provision 4 ur own kids so she can gladly give dem ur name.

Marriage doesn't promise u all u listed above, not all gals can handle domestic work, nt all marriages turn out fruitful, I no dis is d idealogy of a typical black man.

I tink d most impt tin is companionshp, cos witout dis marriage must be a bore, all odas are d fruits dat comes wit it.

ekiloui:
No 2. Nearly happened to me...I ran 4 my dear life. I just noticed the way he would say when we get married atleast I'll have someone to take care of the house. Even once he said in my village men don't enter the kitchen..Omo I had to bolt, if I must get married it's not to become a househelp

themodernman:
After God created man he said its not good that man should be alone, lemme create him a help meet....the most important reason for marriage is companionship but ppl av miscontrued it to d fullest.

Kachisbarbie:
nah

These reasons are not secrets.

You should have said something like
* financial security
*social status
*sympathy/ pity

Etc

Cavenchy:
OP why? After reading this post I now want to get Married! Not for all the reasons posted but for the fact that none of them seem to apply to me, therefore I should be ready to settle down. Just need to find the right Mrs.

Such persons obviously go for the wrong reason and hence, it leaves them(their life and persona) the way they are.

This topic does not make sense at all. You are talking of Africa where majority of women are brought up in settings that does not allow the same exposures that men have growing up. The topics up for discussion would not be the same, it does not mean women are less knowledgeable or less intelligent, just that each gender is knowledgeable in different fields. If more women are exposed to the same things as men, the interests will be the same. When the women are in the kitchen cooking for the house, the men are in the sitting room watching football, how do you expect women to have interests in football? If a girl was sat with a boy amongst men discussing news or politics, who will they send to go do errands? The young girl. Girls are told to keep quiet when they put mouth in male conversations, with statements like, "what do you know?" she would probably be called lazy. Those who even have knowledge in such mostly do not sit to discuss it.

Question is, how can you be knowledgeable in politics or football when you are busy learning how to make a home or learning how to be a "slave" for a man you have not yet met?

The same way more men are knowledgeable in politics is the same way women are more knowledgeable in fashion or whatever you say they gossip about. They all impact the world just in different ways. The topic can go both ways. Intelligence is not by discussing topics men normally chit chat and scream their heads off over(that is mostly what these so-called intelligent male conversations are. Men sat somewhere, drinking and screaming about who will win what.
I know many men who are not interested in politics or football, yet you won't see anyone saying they cannot hold intelligent conversations. Your interests in politics or football does not make you intelligent.

MzNelly:
She just had to ruin the moment.

AirborneLacer:
Take a closer look at the Op's observations.



The emboldened statements only goes to tell us how the female folks have decided to indulge in trivial topics and fancy interests.

MzNelly:
[size=15pt]Everyone shut up!!

This is the answer to the thread.

This is the ONLY intelligent male on this thread, IMHO [/size]

So I should come and start arguing to show I'm "reasonable and knowledgeable?"

Ain't nobody got that time.

missclasssy:
This question has really been bothering me for quite some time. From my observation, it seems guys tend to me more versatile and knowledgeable in a lot of areas than ladies.

In public settings, you hardly find women making reasonable arguments and discussions, its just mindless chit-chats and gossip, unlike guys who argue important facets of life like philosophical concepts and politics.

I stayed in the girls hostel in school and I hardly ever witnessed a reasonable argument or discourse.
Even here on Nairaland, I have noticed the same thing. On the religion and politics section for instance, you rarely see ladies involving in intelligent discourse and arguments. Just few.

I stay in lagos and I listen to the radio a lot.
There are particular programs I enjoy listening to such as,
~ Chat station with Nelly
~Morning crossfire, both on Nigeria info 99.3.
A lot of intelligent and educative discussions on various topics are being held on these programs but you find out that 95% of the contributions are made by men.

Why is all this so?. Is it that ladies are scared to share their opinions or they just aren't as wise and knowledgeable as the guys?
