➜She will never live the purpose of God for her life as long as she reasons like a second class member of the family. Real men want a lady who has fulfilled her purpose and comes to the table with quality not one who is sheepish... Naive.. and docile...
➜Remember that movie of yester years, coming to america... Why did the prince reject the bride who was groomed from childhood to serve his purpose alone. C'mon such a woman will even be boring in bed😎😎😎

Purpose of which God again? No be una pastors and imams been dey tell women say their purpose is to obey their husbands, have and raise godly children to worship their gods? When did a traditional wife become just a second-class member of the family to these same gods of yours?

2. Ah! So, na Western movies dem dey decide these things for una?

lawani:
➜Most people had farms in the past.
➜ Yoruba women were traders and often the wealthiest people in the land were women. Efunsetan Aniwura of Ibadan comes to mind as well as Madam Tinubu of Lagos. Men were leaders, soldiers, crafts men and sometimes traders etc but there were often more money women than men in Yoruba land. Only that it is unlikely you would be richer than the king sitting atop taxes and most monarchs were men

. That many were farmers did not mean they owned land or had enough to lease the land.

2. And please, let's stop regurgitating what were mostly lies/propaganda. 🙄🙄🙄

mysticwarrior:
Our Greatgrand mothers were all farmers, they plant and harvest crops at their backyard to support the family, please kindly show some respect to our grandmothers and Greatgrand mothers

Stop telling lies! 🥱🥱🥱

If all your great grandmas were farmers then what you are saying is that all men were rich enough to own or lease farm land back in the days, something we all know was not true.

BRATISLAVA:
✓ It's not good enough because most lazy, young, primitive men want to have their cake and eat it.
✓ She's pretty clear with what she's bringing, though it's dumb to ask a student what they are bringing. To show you the perspective of the average dumb Nigerian misogynist, he's asking what someone who is probably still schooling and is 18 is bringing to the table for him. What was he doing at her age? What do 90% of kids whose parents send them to school do for a living while in school?
The slowpoke is asking what she brings. You'd be surprised he's only bringing money. And misogyny.

As long as women keep making men their prize, there is not really much anyone can do about that. I mean, the reports say that just less than 50% of married women exist as breadwinners and homemakers in their marriages. That is to tell you that Nigerian women have a long way to go in freeing themselves from the male-centered mindset.

2. You dey blame am? Na women wey dey engage such individuals I dey blame pass cause I don't understand what she hopes to gain from a person who literally interviews her for such, knowing fully well she is a student with her life still. Before her.

DeeScan:
. A stay at home husband 😕😕😕 Is that even a thing ☹️☹️☹️

They exist even in your Nigeria. You may want to Google to find out.

Kaido:
✓ Most of our grandmas and great grandmamas were given farmlands while some others were traders.

Stop spewing lies which assume that the vast majority of married men where rich enough to afford land, a fact that has been proven untrue for the most part. 🥱🥱🥱

As for the traders, well that story may be true even today as almost 50% of married women are essentially breadwinners even today in their marriages. 🥱🥱🥱🥱

PDJT:
➜Nothing that you say here changes the fact that you live in a man's world. Get used to it or you can excuse yourself. Your attention seeking here is well noted.

Are you sure you are OK at all? I mean my original post, which you jumped into makes it clear that men have for the longest ruled much of society.

Kobojunkie:
Stop lying about women! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Women were created with equal capacity as other human beings. Unfortunately, a society ruled by men took to training women to be lesser beings than their male counterparts, all for the glory of the menfolk, while lying to them that some god somewhere is the reason why they should not be allowed to be considered equal to men.

🥱🥱🥱

PDJT:
➜You can say whatever you want because men allowed you to. It's a man's world. If you don't like it, you can checkout, yet its still a man that will prepare your body and lay your body to rest. Research shows that an average man is more useful to a woman than another woman would ever be.
➜ Your attention seeking here is hilarious.

1. As expected, you resorted to making no sense at all in a bid to sound like you have something sensible to offer as a response. WOW! 🥱🥱🥱

2. Yet a comment ago, you referred to it as a nuisance.... make up your mind there, as it seems to be all over the place and nowhere at the same time. 🥱🥱🥱

PDJT:
➜- Why then do you constitute so much nuisance in threads like this one? Seeking attention?

It's actually simple...freedom to say what I want and please on any thread I want. 😐😐

You should ask yourself why my freedom constitutes a nuisance to you. That is a you problem and not a me problem. 🥱🥱🥱

PDJT:
➜- The passion and emotion that you deploy in attacking men and masculinity on display here is really funny. Men must have shown you pepper🌶. I'm sorry, love, it's a man's world and you must get used to it.

No man has shown me pepper before, though. Sorry to disappoint you there! 🥱🥱🥱

Also, I am not attacking men, but simply presenting the facts as far as the treatment of women by a society largely led by men.😐😐😐

ogascomax:
➜I like your comment. Woman wasn't original created to be competitive but to be a home builder. That is why we men should pray for God's blessings to have a good home without stressing our wives.

Stop lying about women! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mickey02:
✓ The plot alone was enough to turn me off. Never was it close to being in my watchlist. So far I'm observing the nice guy at a distance

I watched all 6 episodes and loved it. It is the kind of sci-fi I like.

Lovelyperson:
➜Na... The society does. And it is not right

Society ruled by men — men— came up with that idea.

Lovelyperson:
➜Who make men the automatic provider?

Men did that to themselves! 🥱🥱🥱

Ashawoman82:
mentality of a simp, she contributes, does it mean she does 50:50? Why then shouldn't she submit..

You people don't reason at all. Na women wey dey engage una kind I dey always blame. 🙄🙄🙄

Sterope:
➜Exactly, my point isn't for you to agree. I stated my experience and you have stated yours.

So, what you described earlier was your experience? Why did you state when asked that it was not?

Sterope:
➜You definitely want the drama.
➜I am very aware of the scam aspect of it. That si like the majority of it. I didn't grow up with them next to me. I have an interesting family. Again, this isn't new information.

Wanting proof is tantamount to wanting drama? jeez! 🙄🙄🙄

2. You have never experienced a possession yourself, yet you are certain that a possession can happen without the possessed knowing or realizing it. Doesn't that immediately scream scam, right there?

Sterope:
Of course. Limited experience, limited understanding 🤗🤗🤗

You keep insisting on this yet without evidence... this is clearly the pattern with religion. Saying so much about nothing at all! 😐😐😐

Sterope:
➜Of course, you want something dramatic to wow you. Sorry to disappoint you. It isn't always like that.
➜Yes, you grew up with them doesn't mean anything either. Again, venture out and do the leg work.

1. Something dramatic to wow me? Why would I want that?

2. Telling you I grew up around them and with their kids, some of whom went on to replace their fathers in the business, implies there is nothing even you can tell me about them. I already know a lot and enough to know the scam of it all.

Sterope:
Oh sure you are. 100% Your understanding and experiences are limited. So curious but still afraid to venture out?

Curious about what I am 100% sure is all in your heads? 🥱🥱🥱

Sterope:
➜I remembered staying and restating that possession is not necessarily the way we see it. You might be possessed and not know it. It isn't always psychotic episode, disability, barrenenesa etc. It can even be positive and/or unharmful.
➜You grew up next to Babalawo tells me nothing about your research into the unseen.

1. Ah! So the person who is possessed might not even be aware he/she is possessed? Honestly, this does not tell me anything! 🙄🙄🙄

2. I just added that so you see that I am no stranger to babalawos and local gods.

Sterope:
And that is fair. The question is if can indeed be proven scientifically or not?

Well, where are those cases, though?

Sterope:
➜I don't understand you are so passionate about disbelieving
➜and you are yet to find your way to a serious Osun or Babalawo. Why?

My passion is not on disbelieving but on calling out frauds for the frauds they are.

2. I grew up next door to a babalawo — shrine and all. His kids were my friends, and we frequented his shrine every day we went over to hang out. I even had friends who were considered witches in the community, and not a single evidence they had any powers or intelligence of such. I can go on, but the point remains the same, doesn't it?

Sterope:
➜Yes we back, with limits of your understanding.

I am afraid you are mistaken. I am not the one here who is limited in understanding.

Sterope:
➜I am happy it sounds gibberish to you . You know you are just showing the limit of your understanding and experiences. And that is fine dear.
Why would they create a video?
If they created a video of a full blown possession, I wont take them seriously or disbelieve or see them as charlatans. Actually some of them once came up often on Instagram, muted them.

Not just a video but confirmation by a real doctor that the situation is indeed due to the presence of a foreign entity in that body— data and the works to back it up.

Austinbiggy:
➜You have captured my heart, I think this is what am going to do by getting a lawyer. She stayed with me but I don't want her to be staying with me and I don't have intentions of getting married to her again. The feeling is dead. The baby is just four months old and I don't want her to raise the baby because she was not raised by her mother. I don't even know any of her family. My parents are saying I should endure it before the baby turn a year plus but I'm dying silently. I don't want her to stay with me or even seeing her. if she has money she will not used it for herself but am the one doing everything. I really need to get a lawyer or report it to the police station. Thank you so much.

I wholly disagree with your parents on this. Also, you do not have to date the woman or even marry her to get your baby back. She already decided to go back to her ex and had revealed she is not interested in having your baby in her life. She has literally given you the easy way out as far as full custody. Handing the baby over to a third party gives you solid legal grounds to swoop in as its father to claim full custody. Do not wait until it may be too late.

Sterope:
➜Not me. Psychotic episodes wasn't the only thing I mentioned. Again we are aware that they happen and how they happen. You read the part where medical solution was sought first? So we know and very well aware. Thank you.

So, we are right back to where we started... without evidence to back up any of the things mentioned in your question, abi? 🙄🙄🙄

Sterope:
➜They do, there are Christians relatives that also witnessed and suggested Bible and the Church. We didn't worry about that because there was no need.
➜Over 8 billion that you have met? There are people across cultures and places that are heavily into spiritualism and connecting to something higher than themselves today as it as always been for thousands of years. Have you managed to tap into any? Osun perhaps?
Aren't you a Christian, for some reason didn't Jesus cast out some demons?

1. I think I was clear when I said no one outside of the religious circles; Christianity is a religion, right?

2. You know all of this amounts to spewing storyland gibberish to me, right? 🙄🙄

Again, there are over 8,000,000,000 people on the planet with millions of videos created every single day of experiences had, yet not a single video created by those outside of religious circles verifying the claims of possessions to date. Why?

Sterope:
➜Lmao..No evidence for personal experience. Psychotic episodes, word salad and the whole lot, about a year, no hospital, no drug,...only prayers. Sometimes pain in one area, other times in another area, speech taken away for few weeks, sometimes mobility....but for some reason the person has been up and running for more than 8 years now since those episodes
➜ Oh! The first solution was medical fyi not spiritual and they are not stupid not superstitious people. Very well educated. The person responsible is well educated, a very good job and said as much as well. There are video and audio evidences and no I am not sharing. Even from an Islamic point of perspective though, I believe and we believe many mental issues aren't possession but just medical issues. So no, we are not obsessed in confusing both. Frankly, I don't care about your true possession experience. Again, speak to your personal experience. I am sticking to mine.

1. Psychotic episodes are not permanent and are not predictable. There are really no medications to cure them— it can pretty much happen to any one of us, really—, and yes, they can last and end at any time, just like that.

2. So, you had a psychotic episode then that lasted for a long time, like many of us have experienced, or are you literally claiming you were possessed? Which one?

Sterope:
➜One more thing possession, isn't always about a maniac or psychotic episode.
➜ There are people possessed and nothing is wrong with them at all. Nothing negative just everyday not all life.

And conveniently, no one outside of your religious circles has ever witnessed these things firsthand. How come?

2. There are over 8,000,000,000 people on the planet. Yet, I have never met or run into any of them. And no one has to date documented any actual possessions outside of religious closets. How come?

Sterope:
➜And Not a single answer to a single question. Not all scientist even disbelieve in the existence of the events science cannot explain. You are mistaken if you think I care about being deceived. I don't do religious leaders at all. What my religion gets out of me is charity to others, contribution to the mosque and its welfare. I am not interested in seeking out religious men for some bond.

To this day, there remains no evidence for any of the claims you made, though. So, how does one, in fact, go about answering any of what you said?

Sterope:
...⚈ Have you ever seen true possession? Not the staged or exaggerated kind? No, possession is not always running mad or falling ill. Possession might even be good or neutral fyi.

I have never seen a true possession, but what I have seen are people having psychotic episodes. So?

Clairvoyancy:
➜Jesus Christ..... Between my offer and her desires which is more better.... So you suggest that she be a dependant than making a life for herself? You never cease to amaze me honestly....
➜See, you better forget all these unnecessary wokenesss. this is Africa oo... I'm telling you things that are happening that many can relate with, you are bringing in western ideology... I'm being practical with you and not just assumptions... Many Nigerian girls will say the same thing with that girl, but in actual sense, they are great asset when guided.... Real life talk, not all those unnecessary wokenesss you are saying here

1. So, your intention in a relationship is not to literally ignore what the woman says she wants instead to impose your will on her?

2. The very same decision that was made by your great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and maybe even your mother is now to be viewed as foreign ideology? Ya !!
