princed4real: I would say she's evil but it better dis way who knws wat would hav happened if dey got married...

ollah1: Robben the diver. The naive captain.
In 2010, Diego Forlan won the Golden Ball award despite been behind Mueller in goals and they finished fourth nobody complained we neither hate nor like him.

In 2006, Zidane won the Golden Ball award with 3 goals(2 penalties) and 1 assist. Got a red card in the final. They finished as runner up. nobody complained cos we all like him.

Messi scored important goals that took Argentina to the next round. Muller goals weren't really important.
This isn't about being a die hard fan or not. Its about the fact you haters can't just accept.

carefreewannabe: So why do you emphasise that it is a woman's primary role when it is also the father's?

ollah1: Namely?

myads890: You might as well change the topic to "Nigeria will soon be empty"

Ngokafor: ...I think the saying 'to each their own' should be the focal point in this discussion.The peculiar family dynamics we find ourselves in determines whether or not some ambitious women like most of us on this thread can pull off pursing our chosen careers at full-throttle,especially when the marriage and kids are still very young..

...for instance,if one's hubby has an equally time- consuming and demanding work-schedule.. who then should 'step-down' for the other in this case huh?.Realistically i believe the woman should be the one to give in,ambition or no ambition untill the kids are older..dont get me wrong,i am not advocating for a house-wife role here(not that it is such a crime) but the kind of job that can give her time to attend to her home because most men cannot handle it like a woman would..sad but true.

..The truth is that the more successful we are in our chosen careers or even businesses the more demanding in terms of our time it becomes..marathon meetiings,trips within the country and beyond on short notices to meet up with one client or another,import and export issues..the list is endless..therefore leaving it for later for women is more advisable in my humble opinion.

...Dora Akunyili(RIP) and other powerful women we as women look up to did not become Ministers and all with their children as babies or toddlers...They all have grown-up children so it is a lot easier...but like a said earlier,to each their own.

carefreewannabe: Is being a father a secondary role?

carefreewannabe: Should fathers neglect their children?

dotcomnamename: He did not fail, he was outstanding in this tournament.....From the beginning of the tournament his name has been a Christmas song due to his outstanding performance in the tournament until yesterday Does that mean he should be excluded from what he deserve simply because he did not score a goal? I'm a #TeamGermany but the truth must be said here. Messi deserve it.. I hope you watch Sky News this morning about how they explain why and how Messi deserve it and why he won the golden ball?

freshness2020: I give it to ♈όϋ big sister!

HarmVirus, we gonna meet again for good in the upcoming season with Barcelona cos we gonna Harm ♈όϋ like Deadly virus!

carefreewannabe: You do NOT have to believe me, I know that the two men were closer to me than anyone else when I was a child. It gives me a lot of strength up to this day. They are very much responsible for my success.

My mother was NOT absent and I loved her too but I was closer to my father and my grandfather and it was cool

My father taught me to love books, be interested in politics, to always try to be the best in anything and to enjoy unhealthy food

My grandpa would cuddle me a lot and teach me to take care of the weak and of cars, he even let me sit on his lap and steer a car, which explains why I am the best female driver in the world now

I could go on and on.

Both men were working and my mum and granny were working too. They shared all responsibilites. ALL.

I remember grandpa coming home and taking care of the garbage every day. He would not rest his lazy butt after work, he saw the work around the house and helped grandma.

This is how I grew up. Not everything was perfect but I am very greatful.




I agree, so should fathers.

teeo:
True that but unnecessary civilization and the drive for feminism has pushed women away from the home front which should be their primary duty. Men are to be bread winners working hard to put food and good resources on the table. Am totally in support of ambitious women but I don't think I would want my wife to sacrifice the development of our children for an unneeded achievements.
If after all the achievements your child becomes wayward and ruins your name, the achievement amounts to nothing, it becomes total rubbish.

carefreewannabe: I was more attached to my father and grandfather as a child so, from my personal experience, I disagree.

Was I unnatural?

carefreewannabe: First of all, let us leave religion out of it. Your faith is not necessarily mine.

You are free to disagree as much as you want. I do NOT believe that women are pivotal. I believe that both parents are EQUALLY IMPORTANT.

teeo:
I also disagree with you. Women are pivotal in the development of children and the family. I for one am a perfect example.
If a man loses his wife to death most times he remarries because he doesn't naturally have the capacity to take full care of children, am not saying some men don't do it but it's rare.
But most women have the capacity to train children without the support of a man and they become successful men and women in future.
Women have to first and foremost make that sacrifice, God is not a fool there is a reason why it's the woman who has the womb. Nurturing a child doesn't end in the belly.

Davidolives: One of the best article have read on nairaland

sholasholala: Your friend's point makes sense.
Personally, I have dreams and whenever I think of my plans for myself (career wise), I try to fit my husband and kids in and I finally realized that I can't fully engage in what I want to do if I want to always be there for my kids.
I know that I have to compromise at some point for the sake of my family (especially my kids). But that doesn't mean I will totally abandon my dream and become a full time house wife. No. My career will take a slow pace till my kids grow to a certain age.

Cecediva: Messi deserves a golden face...rubbish! he wasn't even among the 5 top performer in the world cup. messi na sepp blater manfriend
