Timbuktou:
For avoidance of doubt, I agree with the generality of your post, I would only like to present a different opinion to this parts of your comment.

I disagree that marriage should not be imposed. I'm of the opinion that it should. Here's why: marriage is very, very vital to the continuation of our species. Again, I say, very, very vital. Married men are, on average, far more productive than bachelors.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2015/04/02/dont-be-a-bachelor-why-married-men-work-harder-and-smarter-and-make-more-money/

This accounts for hardworkers, and adventurers and inventors to mention a few. But most bachelors are very productive, you might say. Yes, that's true, however, you should know that this is because these men have a family in view. Left to themselves, most men, and I mean a large percentage, are content with just vegetating with the least amount of effort required to just be alive.


So, when you say marriage is only a part of life and is not a priority, I have to ask if you understand the importance of a strong family to the society. Any dysfunctional family is a scourge on society, and singles are leeches. Fact. It should be the priority of every human to marry and marry well.

We haven't even talked about old maidens and their drop in market value due to deteriorating beauty and health, drop in the possibility of birthing healthy offspring. There is proof on this thread of women who said they don't need men, seeing that in fact, they do need men; whether Nigerian men or not is totally irrelevant. The fact is they do need men and they found this out after years of foolish stiff-neckedness and petulance. They realised that what their mothers and aunties had told them when they were much younger did carry a lot of merit. That's the job of the older generation; to teach and compel even where necessary. And the truth is any man or woman who refuses to marry is a failure, plain and simple.

Sorry for the epistle.

5minsmadness:
What do you want?

jhydebaba:
Report to facebook. I'm sure Mark knows how to deal with dat.

Onegai:
Please do yourself a great favour: YOUR IN-LAWS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. Draw those lines and boundaries in black paint and guard it with a cutlass. Or you will end up one day bitterly regretting that you wanted to "show Love". Nigerian society isn't filled with kind, well meaning people who will understand your mistakes. One of my BiLs gave me this advice.

Bootybuttchic:

IYANGBALI:
its called african mentality

5minsmadness:
Simply shows that "morality" and "development" don't always go together.
And besides they only lost their morality very recently. Following the sexual revolution as a matter of fact. They are living on past glory.

shirleywhyte:
WOW!!!I can't believe this..

Someone once told me love is not enough to get married...Wow!!!

You guys should keep it coming...

Timbuktou:
You should have set them straight from the first off-point comment. Don't let these teenage girls, frustrated housewives and weak men like Innervoice damage your efforts at a decent conversation. It's your thread, you have the moral obligation of correcting erring comments to the best of your ability.

Cheers.

Phema:
And you don't even strive to be?

Timbuktou:
Ediot, read the question again. I've taken the liberty of reposting it here so you can read.



Innervoice, ediot, now answer according to the OP. Stop projecting your abysmal childhood on the rest of Nairaland.

Phema:
Because of one small-tiny-lil 5 minute thing? What happened to "to err is human..." huh?

These men are not smiling.

johnny1980:
And the other man has to wait till another year before she gets pregnant for him?


How bleeped up does this sound to you? And what benefits does the lady even enjoy?

johnny1980:
What happens if she had multiple sex with both partners in the space of days not even hours?

Let us even assume they did it weekly. how do you count exactly what week the sex that fertilized her in to know exactly who did it giving some women are 2 months pregnant and are even oblivious of the fact?

Aside religion. Let me answer your question. This does not mean I support or oppose polyandry.

Consider a woman getting pregnant in such a situation. Who would claim the paternity of the baby?

Timbuktou:
Imbeciile, are you ashamed to identify with your wife? You accuse me of semi illiteracy yet you have no idea what colloquialism is. You are hopeless. So, she told you she's a researcher! What exactly has she been able to find out? What are her contributions to whatever field she researches? Ode, your wife goes to mop one lab in downtown Harlem you're here boasting about her achievements like all the weak men in your village.


InnerVoice, where are you? Come back, let me sting your destiny to death.

If you weren't so desperate to fly in with your cape of foolishness, you would have comprehended that, that post highlights Obama's supposed camp (democrats) not being fully convinced and that I deliberately left out the figures for conservatives. You only read the parts I put in bold and you're alread feeling intelligent! Funny man. I[b]s that the kind of haphazard research you and your wife carry out?[/b] You need to be handed over to the authorities for incompetence.

I am not ffromyour village of dumb men. The women in your family may be smarter than all the men in your village but that's the extent of their reach. Keep quiet, Mr. Lab Attendant Husband.

Timbuktou:
Dr. Ben Carson was a neurosurgeon John Hopkins Hospital.
Now he is a best-selling author and likely Presidential
candidate, which is why Newsmax’s J.D. Hayworth wanted to
interview him on his show.
During the ususal discussion, Carson drops a BOMBSHELL
revelation about President Barack Obama’s weakness on
national security, especially about the funding of the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

I would say break the funding for Homeland Security
up into parcels. Don’t present it as a whole bill. That
makes it much more difficult for him to stand in the
way. And, if he does stand in the way, particularly with
things that are vital to the security of this [country],
then I think we can start talking about treason.

Treason is the ultimate crime a President can commit, and
it’s usually punishable by life in prison or the death penalty.
The leader of the free world has abilities that the usual
double-agent couldn’t have. Carson’s point is that America
has a President who is so determined to pass amnesty that
he’s willing to hold DHS funding hostage, and that is far
beyond what he should be allowed to do.
That’s why J.D. gave Carson a chance to clarify, but Carson
held firm:

If things are done that are on the contrary to the
security of this country, whoever does them is guilty
of treason.

This is Ben Carson who has researched more than you and your lab attendant-wife combined giving his informed opinion on Obama whom you seem to have given a pass mark. You think it is that useless mathematics that you people use for your fake studies in your household we're talking about here?

Timbuktou:
Just because she is more successful than you doesn't mean she can carry a candle to me. Are you sure she's a researcher or a lab attendant? Let's not get carried away please.

Meanwhile, these women are anomalies. A mere percentile of the larger female population.
