He is not the government so should not be BLAMED for under development. Governments are accountable for infrastructure and economic/growth of regions they oversee.


That said, ( without using the over used Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates analogy) wealthy black people need to feel a sense of responsibility to give back. Yeah you worked hard( not always sef some wealthy people in Nigeria made mega big bucks with some sort of govt patronage/monopoly/influence ) for your money and its your right to spend it how you wish but I don't get how people are comfortable having soooo much ( half of which you don't even NEED) in the midst of so much squalor and poverty. In the west it is possible to be insulated from poverty to an extent if you are very rich ,but in Nigeria except you are ferried around in helicopters all the time it will confront one way or the other from time to time.

Why not? That is the nature of a comprehensive union - such as the one of Will and Kate, whose vows I noted in my initial post on this thread.

My only beef is with the concept of no-fault divorce. If the woman wants to stay, but the man insists on leaving her, where she has done no wrong, certainly. If however, she just wants to leave, and he has done nothing wrong, certainly not, and vice-versa (depending on who is the main source of the wealth, which by marriage becomes communal).
Agree

She should get 50%, then a further percentage as punishment, then a lien placed on any future earnings and further garnishing of his pension angry.
Hahaha yes oooo No end to the punishment at ol at ol

Next time, he will think twice before breaking his marital vows

A40:
Sorry to butt in but are you implying that the man does not have a role to play in raising these kids? What compensation is due the man for his efforts and who pays it? Women pay for sex too you know. Unless there is clear evidence that she was actually earning money before you people met I don't see how her marriage could be explained as a potential impediment. She could get a job or a thriving business before getting married as any other reasonable person would do

Only a greedy person would demand half of the property of someone he or she wants nothing to do with. I'm not of the opinion that either spouse gets nothing in the event of a divorce but by God not 50%

Do you believe Elin is entitled to half Tiger Woods wealth? Or I married Serena and we broke up 10years down the line am I entitled half her money?
The father definitely has a role to play but remember my discussion was based on a scenario where "Dangote" is the husband and the wife is an undergraduate/fresh graduate or so. Hence, he is the busy breadwinner with very little time to spare for the family while the wife is more hands on, sacrificing her life raising his children and providing stability for him and the kids.

I cant outrightly call every case where the wife demands 50% greedy, the peculiarities of each case would differ and each would be judged differently.

On Tiger's case - can I ever judge that case objectively considering Tiger's escapades? I don't think so.

With Serena - if you as a man has sacrificed all to keep the home front going while she concentrated on amassing trophies and earning money, why not?

My arguments on this thread have been purely academic.

Sagamite:
Fck me!

You still don't get it?

Divorce settlements is not about judges looking at what any party benefited from the union.

They don't (and should not) give a fck if you benefited or not.

If you like, let them fck you well in marriage, if you like, make dem no fck you well. That na your wahala.

They are there to divide the financial assets made.

So how should they divide that sensibly?

By actually contribution or but some lunacy of assumption?
Wish you were answering these questions Saga.

The sex was just an example....to show that the value attached to different benefits in life differs and people are willing to pay different prices, cross different miles to achieve certain goals/benefits if they find it worthy. Going back to the Dangote example, while everyone else would think the rich guy is an idiot for marrying a pauper, only he can explain why he took such an "illogical decision". Only he understands why he is willing to take such risk when it has a high probablity of crystallization. At that point, he could well be said to be paying a price for something that only he understands the extent of the utility he is enjoying. We all don't have to understand it.

There are soo many things in marriage that are not readily quantifiable. As a man, If I marry a well-behaved girl from Sagamu because I want her to instill some cultural discipline into my kids which no girl in the UK may be able to offer, would most people understand the rational behind this decision? However, deep down, that action, when fulfilled completed you. She helped you achieve a fundamental goal of yours in life, and not just you, your offsprings, your lineage because you believe that discipline or knowledge will transcends generations. If this lady, but after several years gets close enough to you to realize the weight of what she hasbdone and during a divorce settlement case, request for a large chunk of your assets, would it really be unfair to give it to her? Would it really be fair to say she should be sent back with what she brought from Sagamu? and maybe indulged some access to your kids(at least they bear your surname, right) from the goodness of your heart?

We could have several variations of this example above.

Then coming to the alternative forgone - how do you measure what a woman would have achieved if she were not married to you? And forget academic degrees, I have seen illiterates become millionaires by merely buying and selling. Hence, earning potentials is also difficult to measure. So what would the judge do?

Looking at the financial value of what each party contributed before and during the duration of the marriage would be a very shallow way of judging marital disputes. It's like saying I want to reimburse my parents for all they spent on my education as I am now a "Dangote" and I feel that once I do that, I would have been able to adequately repay them for any academic success I achieved under their care. As logical as this sounds, isn't it the most ridiculous thing ever? Barring all emotions and sentiments emanating from the "parents" cited in this example, would it still make sense? Were these feats achieved based only on the fact that my school fees were paid as at when due? At least I read and passed all the exams on my own, so why wouldn't it be a fair deal?

But then, what about the constant advice, encouragement, stability of the home front, the broad shoulders I could always cry on abbl. Are these contributions of any value? Can they be quantified? If they cannot, would it suffice that the sharing be generous to the party, who at a first glance seems to have contributed and achieved less in the union? Trying to err on the side of caution maybe?


***But why should judges not care about the benefits? This whole argument revolves round benefits - enjoyed, forgone, contributed etc

Sagamite:
Why can't the state establish the utility both partners "bring" (not derived) to the union?

What is so hard about that?

You used "derived". You are mistaken. The courts are not there to compensate on they utility derived from the union. They are there to separate the financial utility contributed to the union.

And why do the states have to share such 50:50 when they can establish each's contribution?
How can it be said that you've sucessfully brought utility except it's been proved to have been derived or enjoyed by another?

It's far easier to prove derivation...however, when things get to that heated stage, which of the partners will be truthful as to what they've truly derived from the other?

And hell NO, we are not just talking about financial utility or financial transactions here...which is why we should have talked about what marriage is in the first place.

If I ask you today, "what is the offical price of se.x?" What will your answer be? And I am not asking for Saga's price tag or Njoku's or Dayo's. For uniformity sake, let's say 5 hrs? What is the official benchmark price of 5hrs shagging? I can give you the answer for the American dollar or a barrel of crude oil.

Please stop trying to discuss sense to someone who is hell bent on not seeing it. Find something else to do with your time abeg.

The question is why should he face that potential liability or risk?
No, the state cannot force people to marry anyone but in an event where there is a dispute between couples and the state cannot readily establish the utility both partners derived from each other during the course of the union or the worth of the alternatives they both had to forgo, how best does the state share their combined assets other than a ratio that nearly equates to 50:50?

Why do Nigerian women sign the piece of paper when they know they can be thrown out with just the clothes on their back and a few peanuts?

There is some utility they are benefiting from marriage, so if that happens to them it is okay.

If they sign it, then if that happens, then that is their fault and we should accept it that way.

Why do they even sign the paper with a Nigerian man knowing the risk of them being beaten up and he having multiple concubines?

Why do they now open their stuuuupid mouth to complain when those happen to them?

I am just appplying your logic here.
The emboldened is definitely not true. The main problem with Nigerians is their refusal to use the law to settle disputes especially marital ones. Rather than approach the courts to seek redress, the average Nigerian, especially women, will rather leave it to karma or just put it behind them somehow. I have nothing against these options, just saying that the Nigerian woman knows the risk, calculates it but hesitates at the legal way of getting succor.

What is not logical about marriage?

Are you saying people like Dangote should only fall in love with other billionaires? That is your justification for moronic laws? The state should put up laws that force people to marry certain types of people, not who they are attracted to?

Is it China or even North Korea?

Do you know what a "legal partnership" is? How is marriage a "legal partnership"?
Pls how is marriage by Dangote to a high school drop-out a logical decision from Dangote's POV? knowing fully well the potential liability he could incurr from signing the darn paper? And with full knowledge of the other options available to him with which he could derive the same benefits that marriage offers without the attached risks? I honestly don't see this logic.

Fall in love? Where did I say that Saga? Is falling in love and marriage synonymous? Did you marry every girl you fell in love with?

No, the state cannot force people to marry anyone but in an event where there is a dispute between couples and the state cannot readily establish the utility both partners derived from each other during the course of the union or the worth of the alternatives they both had to forgo, how best does the state share their combined assets other than a ratio that nearly equates to 50:50?

If marriage is not a legal partnership to you Saga, then define what marriage is exactly? This is actually where i would have loved to start this discussion.

Hahaha, I dey laugh o, like Baba Sege.

A fool and his money is easily parted. What did he expect before venturing into the state sanctioned legal enslavement christened marriage, even moreso without acceding to a pre-nup.

The institution called marriage is nothing but a humbug designed to tyrannize, enthral and limit human's unflinched right to freedom, independence and social liberty. It's scripted to be lopsided on both sides and financially advantageous to women. What is more depressing is the fact that Western liberal left politicians keeps pandering to women's demand for higher alimony defrayals.

The idea that one party has to forfeit a huge chunk of their hard earned wealth to another, is obdurate, cruel and despicable in all ramifications. For fvck sake a man's acquisition is theirs and shouldn't be tempered with even after a divorce. This is a clear act of banditry and must be condemned by not only the male folk but by everyone who believes in justice and fair play.

After a split everyone should move on with their individual assets and the only hinged interest should be the welfare of the kids. For humanity sake, no be me born you. Whoever enacted alimony legislation must have been mentally imbalanced and a p*ssy. What a sick world we dwell in.
