OP,

I will play the devil's advocate here. I saw the two topics you referred to, and I personally think they are pretty silly. Of course that's just my opinion - and as we all know, opinions are like a$$es, everybody has one. But to say the topics imply misogyny is, to me, really stretching. Is it Man-hating when a woman says she wants a tall, dark, stinking-rich man who's only desire is to please her? Better still, here's a poser: What if the topics were "Careers of a Man that put you off as a Woman" and "Would you prefer a Hardworking wominizing Husband, or Very loyal, lazy Husband"? Now tell me with your full chest that you would see such topics as Man-hating.

Look, our culture in this side of the world has not been fair to women. There is absolutely no denying that. But to take issues with people's own opinions of what they wish for or want in their partner - no matter how silly and inane - is just plain ridiculous. And that, missy, you can take to the bank.

Tried that shit once wen i was quite young,my dad beat me cause i went to play football after skul hours and came home late,left the house that night,went to another state,slept in an uncompleted building.the next morning wen hungry wan finish me,nobody tell me make i tell person to call my dad(didn't have a phone then),he drove all the way down to come pick me.My pman was shocked at my guts,na that day the man knew i get mind wella,i wasn't beaten wen i got home cuz he was advised not to,but my beaten was saved for later days though.

I left home a few times, but I always went back after a few hours. I was too much of a thinker. I always stopped and thought of days ahead, weeks, months ahead - what would I eat? where would I sleep? what about school? 6months, 1 year, 5 years from now, what would I be doing? And I always realized it was better - wiser - to go back and endure home for a little longer, just try enter uni first.

I personally think the topic itself is flawed. Being treated "bad" in old age is not restricted to men. In fact, more women actually suffer this than men. Go to any village - ANY village at all - and check for yourself. I think the reason for the false impression that men suffer it more is because of our society in this part of the world - men are identified with power, so when the frailty that comes with old age starts,
it seems like a bigger downfall than when compared with women.

Yes, there are plenty stories of men who weren't kind to their families being abandoned at old age. But there are also plenty stories also of women being treated the same. In other words, please take that gender-biased tale and shove it somewhere the sun don't shine.

As for tales of women jetting off to live with their grown children while the man stays back alone, the truth is not many men will accept to go and live under their child's roof. Both of my grandfathers refused to do so. Maybe for a few weeks, yeah, but leaving your own house to go live permanently with a child you raised because you are now old? We're simply not wired like that. So yes, we know madam is probably living it up with the kids, but it's ok, she's welcome to it. So yes - if you are a man, by all means treat your loved ones well, but don't make the mistake of expecting to rely on them in old age. Make plans for yourself, and live out your years in comfort.

Extremely selfish woman. As in, instead of her to design a time table so that she and the baby mama take turns, she wants to colobi the husband to herself.

Abeg do you live in Port Harcourt? That slang "colobi" has geographical implications in my ear

It all comes down what gives me the most peace of mind. Being a man in this corner of the world is no child's play, and I invite any person - male or female - who thinks otherwise to come take a shot at it.

Permit me to digress a bit - show me any married woman who's the breadwinner of her home and who still lives in loving harmony with her husband, and I will show you a woman whose husband gives peace of mind. Once you are the provider of a home - once you are the person earning the wherewithal that oils the wheels that keeps a home running, peace of mind immediately becomes a non-negotiable. And in my books, you've earned the right to get it wherever you can. So, if having a baby-mama is what does it for you, then by all means have at it. Anybody who thinks otherwise is welcome to come walk a mile in your shoes.

For all the Muslims who steadily chant how Islam is the religion of peace and whatnot, Afghanistan of today has finally shown you up. Why are thousands of peace-loving Afghanistanis running away from their fellow peacefully-AK47-totting Afghanistanis? And why are they running towards hateful and haram-filled, homosexual-loving infidel-populated Europe? One would have thought they'd prefer somewhere the beloved laws of sharia reigns supreme - like Sudan, or Kano in Nigeria, or Iran, or Pakistan. But no, instead they want to run to Germany, and the US, and the UK. Whatever happened to not associating with infidels??

Really, I would so love to hear one peace-loving Muslim answer this.

PERSONALGUY1:
Thanks alot op I really appreciate God bless u richly I got the alert... thanks so much bro

You're welcome buddy
If you're lifted up tomorrow and in a position to help another, remember to pay it forward. Cheers

Please if you replied me with your details, you can edit and remove them now. Thanks and God bless.

What I find utterly despicable is the absolute confidence with which some people insist that OP is running a scam. Someone dared her to upload evidence, and boasted she would send back some amount if said evidence is uploaded... Really? Have we sunk so low? Unwilling to spare a farthing to help, but happy to spend scarce resources just to prove a point. What a shame.

Dear @kaityn, I've done my due diligence, and I believe you. I may be wrong, but that too is ok - what good is a life spent being right all the time? I noticed you don't come online often; to me, it means you don't spend all your time arguing on nairaland like some other people I prefer to ignore - but whenever you come around again and see this, please send me a PM. I'll be happy to donate a small token to fill up wherever your timely aid to your friend came from. No matter how long, send the PM.

And in thanks to Chukwu Okike Abiama, by Whose grace I choose to believe that a life was saved today, I want to a small giveaway. I'm not rich but I can afford 2k for 5 people. If you need it, please indicate here - no names please, just number and bank (don't send PM please). I'll keep an eye on this thread from till midnight; I trust by then there'd 5 such replies, and all can delete their details.

Things are really bad now, worse than it has ever been, but even in the middle this let's not forget our humanity.

I believe it's called being "asexual". Simply a lack of desire for sexual activity. It's not common, but there are people are that way naturally. Nothing really wrong with it; some folks may tell it is "unhealthy" or a "sickness", but I don't see anything wrong in being that way. If you want though, you could see a doctor or a specialist, just to be sure.

Born on the 29th of February, perhaps. You never said how old you are, by the way.

We only talk on New year's. We don't have a good relationship.

Eyaa.
I can't imagine what must have happened between you two or for how long it's been that way... But I can tell you, your heart will feel lighter if you take the noble path and call him. Don't think about what he will say or if he may use it to his advantage or whatever, just do it. And keep doing it. Many years from now, you will look back and smile and say to yourself, I am glad I did that without expecting anything in return.

^^^ As in, u don minit!

ABANGWABOI:

Valar dohaeris.

Finally, an MK live action movie fit for the times. The trailer alone is a flawless victory! I just wish they'll add the 1995 "Mortal Kombat" sound track to it; that "Test Your Might" never gets old.

Priapus69:
I personally feel, Man Of Steel is DCEU best movie.

I agree.

TheCreatorVerse:
The armor being useless, as Diana won't die being scratched by a cat.

Swinging on lightning makes no sense when you can fly

That armor bit, omg... After hyping it up as the toughest ever made from ALL the amazon warriors' armors welded together, naim Cheetah just use her nails dey tear... like zinc roofing sheets. Really??

decatalyst:
The dude that acted as a dismissed soldier was a mistake fit.

I think the story too is disjointed.

But the camera, props and venues are good enough.

Yeah, props and cam were mostly ok, but those are wasted if the script and screenplay are wack.

That ex-soldier's lines were the worst!

Kestolove:
When I saw d cast I know d film will not make sense

I'm not very familiar with current Nollywood actors, but I felt Ramsey Nouah directing would give something worthwhile. I mean, he's been around long enough and would have picked up some skills from Hollywood/Bollywood contemporaries... Alas, I was so wrong.

dawnomike:
The first Rattlesnake of the 90s was based on a true life story... But this modernized version was made up. E wota?

The quality of a screenplay is not dependent on whether its story source is true life or fiction; it is dependent on the script-writer, with some degrees of influence from the director and producer.

Frankly, I don't even know why they remade this movie. I'm not a fan of Nollywood movies, but I heard they've made decent progress so I thought to watch this one. Plus I still have nostalgic memories of the original. But this... this was just wack.

The storyline was jumbled and illogical; the dialogue/script was totally cringe-worthy, as in I just weak. I don't even understand the point of the flash-back scenes - at that point in the movie there was no need. What was Ramsey Noauh thinking?? There's barely ANY reference to the titular Rattlesnake in the movie. The only real positive for me was Chinyere Wilfred; she gave a 10/10 performance. I think Bucci Franklin also acquitted himself decently as "Nze" (now that I think about it, me thinks he'd have done better as "Ahanna".

I give the movie 1.5/5

LordTheus:
LMFAO. Don't let the DC drones see this though. Unless you can stomach their usual convulsions

Naa but it really is my honest opinion; can't be helped if someone disagrees.

webhead:
yeah.

I was schocked as hell, when I saw last night that it had deteriorated.

I guess it's a bad movie after all. but I'll need to see it for myself.

hope wanda-vison won't disappoint.

It is not a "bad" movie, per se; but they really got a number of things wrong. I'm not going to spoil the movie by enumerating which things, I'll just say that half way through I started wondering if I was watching Telemundo.

webhead:
uh.....wonder woman currently has an 89% on rotten tomatoes, but you might be right.

I hope marvel can pull this off.

You might wanna check that rotten tomatoes score again.
