@Imastex. That looks like indoors. So one can do it indoors?

And that looks like A marginata. Any reason you prefer it to A achachatina which is indegenous to Edo?

But what you just described is what feminists are fighting for. In this day and age, responsibilities have to be shared. Even if not equally, it has to be shared at one point or the other by BOTH parties. I don't expect feminism to be accepted universally but can the hate just stop. What women are demanding is not illogical from any angle I look at it. It's just common sense. No one wants to feel used. We are told to contribute financially because of the economy, yet we are told to bare the full burden on the home front too. Body dey tire na. Why won't women look older than their husbands years down the line? I have an uncle that can wake up 2am to ask his wife for pounded yam and she'll prepare it happily. I can never judge that arrangement. Why? Because she's a full housewife. However, a lot of women are not. Those are the ones I'm arguing for.
I agree totally with the sentiments you have expressed. Responsibilities have to be shared as much as the prevailing circumstances allow - that's commonsensical. A man who provides little or no money and passes the burden to his wife and still expects her to do all the cleaning and cooking and child bathing is lazy or plain insensitive. It's as insensitive as the working woman who expects her husband to carry all the financial burden. The man should do housework, although how much he can do will vary from one family to another. When I said feminism will never gain universal workability, I was alluding to the fact that there are women who WANT to be kept - all their life aspiration is to become's someone's housewife or sugar baby. It's an arrangement that works.

But are there really still men out there who expect their wife who works full time to do all the house work?

Most women work these days, so how do you balance that out? I'm still waiting for someone to give me an answer to that
To continue my last post, that okadaman is right to expect food when he gets home. It's a different ballgame for the family where the man and woman both leave at dawn, return at 8pm and bring in similar incomes. In this case, the man must do his share of house chores and the woman must pick her share of the bills. What works for you is what works for you. The ideals of feminism will never apply universally.

lol.


I am trying to reduce my intake of red meat so most of the time, I go for fish and shaki.

With the fork in my left hand and table knife in my right hand, I do justice with the shaki and even pommo.
I gave up red meat, too. I found cow leg is also a healthy alternative. And snails, if you like them slimy. Fish is good, but not all, so you've got to be selective.

If you agree that cooking is for men and women, then we're on the same page. Most don't agree, and that's where my issue with them not having money comes in. I mean, marriage is give and take shey? If you want food, then I want money. Simple.
Cooking is for human beings since human beings eat. Who does it between a man and a woman should depend on who it is most convenient for. But isn't the point here. The point you comparing cooking to getting rich. I do not agree with you that a poor man should not expect his wife to be able to cook. If he rides okada or tills the ground all day and his wife stays put at home he should expect to find food at home when he arrives as long as he provides the money.

This is so wrong and highly disrespectful. Is she a snake? Why is she spitting like a king cobra?? huh

Please just don't send her back yet. Trash this out with her abeg. You are a MAN and need to wear the trousers of the house. Sit her down and warn her never to try that rubbish again.

You may also take her for a pregnancy test. I hear women are bitchy when preggies so it's possible that may be the reason why she is using you as spitting target.

This is insane
Yeah. I hadn't thought of that.

Most men would have given her a beating, but you kept your cool. For that I respect and admire you. Now to the point, Yes. Please send her away. That woman hates you!

How can your own wife say that horrible thing and spat to you face?! She hates you. She have crossed the line.
You said your marriage is a curse. You are not happy at all. Neither is she. You are not making a mistake. Do it.

You are a true gentleman. You deserve better. You'll find someone to heal your wounds. Don't even waste your time for any shìt counselling. She is not the woman you fell for. That woman is gone the moment she spat. Forever.
I agree with you. The spitting was a sign of contempt. That marriage is over.

I am not a feminist.I believe a man should be the head of a home and he has specific responsibilities towards his woman.Even my younger brother while he was in secondary school used to save his break money to buy his class girlfriend novels as a gift.The girl reciprocates moat times by buying him snacks for break and other small stuff.Love is give and take.If you are broke,work hard till you van afford to do little stuff for a woman,even if its 100 naira card,she would know you are meeting a need in her life.I really pity the crop of men we have around sha!If they give them chance,they would ask a lady to pay her own bride price so they can marry her free of charge.Its common sense that if you take ur girl to the movies,you should pay d 1k for movie ticket,even if she reaches for her wallet.No woman enjoys spending her money on small things her man can afford,that's a fact!! Those that do end up being tagged as controlling and trying to emasculate the man.When tiwa savage's saga went down,very few applauded her for being the breadwinner, rather she was blamed for encouraging teebillz to be a lazy man.
I am done with this issue abeg,for those who want o quote me,save your breath and energy.. I am out of here.Let me leave the trash for lawma.
Actually, different people are HAPPY with different approaches. Stinginess, laziness, etc, are certainly wrong. And if what they said about Teebillz is true, men like that should not get married. It shows poor understanding to link that situation with feminism because even if he was married to rich feminist he would still have had problems since a man - or a woman - should not be lazy. That is not to say, however, that the feminist approach to llife and marriage does not work. This is a broad topic - some other time, perhaps.

If your woman cannot cook, please what is your duty to her? "Why shouldn't she be able to cook?" That's what I thought. So, why should men not have money? Stop asking us to settle, thanks.
Your parallelism is misguided. Cooking is a basic life skill for women and men. A whole lot, including luck, goes into being rich.

Bottomline,he clearly wanted to enjoy d privileges of dating without picking up some small bills occasionally.My point is,who no like better thing?Men and women alike,learn to work for your own money to avoid insult.
Lol at "picking up some small bills occasionally". And I won't be surprised if you're a feminist who'd demand to be treated equally.

Politics › Re: The TSA: How Buhari Nuked The Nigerian Economy by JuanDeDios: 6:55pm On Sep 08, 2016
plaetton:
BLOODLETTING was an ancient, pre-science method of treating common and chronic illnesses by letting out blood from different parts of the body.

Back then, in around the 2nd century BCE, diseases were thought to be caused by imbalances of the humors, of which the blood was the most important.

Also tied this was the widespread belief that evil supernatural spirits were imbedded in the humors, which in turn, was the primary cause of diseases.

As with most pre-science practices, bloodletting caused a lot more VISIBLE harm than the IMAGINARY benefits for which the practice was promoted.

For good example, the side effects of bloodletting were:

1. Accidentally cutting off major ARTERIES , which leads to excessive hemorrhage, cardiac arrest and in most cases, death.
2. Anaemia.
3. Lowered immune response due to depleted white blood cells.
4. Infections.
5. Etc, etc.

Now, fast forward to Nigeria 2016 , when I think of the newly implemented TSA, when I hear all the chest beating, the celebration of this act as one of the cardinal achievements of the Buhari Administration, I am also forced to think about the PRE-science act of bloodletting ,and the EERIE similarities it shares with the TSA implementation in terms of Intentions, Envisaged benefits, and the inevitable Catastrophic side effects.

To be continued..
You people are making a very fundamental error. There was a huge difference between what parastatals were making and what they were remitting. Stopping that was the right thing to do. TSA was the right thing to do. I have been reading people saying tha corruption money was good for the economy. Trying to stop corruption remains the right thing to do. The problem we have is lack of governance. There are no motorable roads in the country today, yet someone is locking up money. It is the consequences of Buhari's wastage of 6 months when the country had no government we are suffering now. What we need is massive spending, not locking up money. The way to do that is not to let the banks retain their corruption money. There is a better. Sorry, I'm typing in a hurry.

Please post on that other thread, didn't even notice the thread was two, and to think I ve been commenting on both, maybe cause I always click and quote on 'mentions' from notifications... Mitchew!!! I need a little spanking. I will try your recipes.
Lol @ bolded. @blue: I can do that! No canes (promise), just a back pat. smiley

The two threads seem to have grown, so I guess it's a bit late to try to consolidate them. I apologise for posting here but it was the one that showed up in my thread.

Don't mind the voltron I'm forming here o. I'm a learner. I used to avoid the kitchen until I decided to adopt a micronutrient-rich, pH diet, which you can't get at the restaurant. I'm also lucky to work from home for now, so I can spend the time I used to spend in traffic making my food. Even then, some of my approaches are still unorthodox. For example, I never roll up my swallows into balls - once it's done I commence eating. I still had to phone my sister yesterday to ask how she makes her garden egg sauce for yams; she had a hearty laugh at me. And the moimoi and akara are purchased; I make the others. But I think I'm passionate about anything I do.

dasparrow:
@Post

The soup look delicious. Sadly, an increasing number of Nigerians here in Nigerians cannot afford to cook this kind of soup anymore due to rising cost of foodstuff. 1 kilo of goat meat is ₦1200. By the time you add the cost of stockfish, let's say ₦500 and then other ingredients such as 75cl bottle of palm oil going for ₦400, then crayfish ₦200, then egusi ₦400, the ugwu ₦100, fresh pepper ₦100, onions ₦100. Shey pot of soup don pass ₦2000?

So you see, in this harsh economic times, one must buy fresh okro ₦300, one titus ₦350, ugwu ₦50, bottle of palm oil ₦400, crayfish ₦100, onions ₦100. Okro soup is ready for less than ₦1400. The remnant palm oil can be used to cook again. Man must manage in this tough times.

Whaya say? grin
I say your soup ain't looking bad, although I eat my okro differently.
