Family / Re: Fatherhood by liberalchick(f): 6:24pm On Sep 08, 2019
I can’t relate to most of what you wrote on your post but I agree that fathers shouldn’t give up on knowing their children because the mother is bad. 1. Choose someone suitable to be the mother of your children 2. Give your all to know your kids.

I read the whole post and in MY opinion the OP generalized women, his add on clarifications didn’t change my opinion. No matter how many sexist, ageist or derogatory words you throw at me, I said what I said. You probably shouldn’t engage anybody until you know how to conduct yourself on a forum.

Regiomontanus:
I did not any part of his post instead I pointed you out for ignoring certain parts of his post. Keep playing dumb. If at this stage you don't know that read a write up completely before attacking the writer, you can't be helped. If you can't understand such a simple write up by Martinez39, you can't be helped. At your age, you call a clarification the addition of "some"? Do you know what it means to clarify?

When Martinez39 said he can't expect reasoning from the female gender on certain issues, he seemed like a misogynist but now I can see where the wise guy is coming from. Good day and from henceforth, I won't engage you. Rot in your foolishness.

What?!!

So why are you choosing to ignore the first part of his post? Why type the first half if it’s not relevant to his post? Just because the OP decided to add “some” in his posts or added a disclaimer doesn’t magically erase the generalizations in his post, the OP put them there for a reason. I read a post and I posted my comments on the parts I disagreed with.

Regarding your childish emotional outburst, get help.


Regiomontanus:
You are a shameless and pathetic liar or your brain did not develop properly. You are very manipulative. Beside, why read the first part? grin Are you not supposed to read the whole thing? What sensible person reads just the first half of someone's write up and attacks them? Are you okay? grin

You purposely picked just the first part so you can avoid the clarification in the second picture below and therefore have some ground to attack me since your emotions are against me.

pic 1: The very first thing you will see in his write up. How come you got your inference for the first half of his post? Are you that dull? Despite this you and other dull girls still attacked him for painting all fathers as saints and all mothers as evil.
pic 2: @blue part, Martinez39 made himself clear again that some mothers could be good while the fathers could be at fault. No sensible person has any ground to accuse Martinez39 of generalising. Only daft humans claimed Martinez39 was generalising.

lol where did I make it a We vs Them?

I was calling out the generalization of women in the OP, I never compared the roles of both gender in parental alienation. If you are referring to my example, I used it to highlight my premise, just because you have few anecdotes doesn’t mean you have enough facts/authority to generalize.

Most posters have commented that the OP is just about mothers who alienate their kids from their fathers, if it was I wouldn’t be on this thread. The first half of his post infers that most deadbeat dads wouldn’t be deadbeats if women didn’t badmouth dads in front of their kids.

KanuSE:


I quite understand your drift but this is not an issue of We vs Them. The Op is addressing the issue of 'manipulating mothers' whose actions ain't in the best interest of the kids.

Confirmation bias is very strong on this thread, we interpret what we want to interpret. What I inferred from the first half of his post is that most deadbeat dads wouldn’t be deadbeats if women didn’t poison the well.

“A good number of mothers” you and the OP’s generalization is why this post was spoiled by “idiots”. I know people that were lied to by their fathers who told them that their moms abandoned them. Instead they discovered their mothers were kicked out and had been forbidden to see them.

Unlike this OP, I am not going to write a post generalizing most men.

Elliot2:
See how a well articulated topic has been spoilt by idiots who should be in the caves. This is one topic that would have had meaningful engagement if it were on quora.
Well,the truth is that a good number of mothers are not altruistic in their show of love toward their children. Like every other things women easily create competition even when uncalled for,they are in a competition for the child's attention; one which they get and perpetually use. This becomes especially pronounced if their is a friction between the woman and the man. It is as if they book-keep every act of kindness towards the child; they highlight those deeds,trying to reinforce your memory. You remember their acts of kindness more than you do for your dad's. In fact, most mothers' love is a weapon they consciously build and nurture.

Well, for your one anecdote, I can raise you five of mine. I also have my own stories of fathers badmouthing their wives in front of their kids. No gender has a corner on parental alienation. The lesson here is adults should keep their drama to themselves and leave the kids out of it.

larryking540:
To all the single guys out there,to every married man, to every hustler base in 9ja and outside 9ja,
pls and pls, create time for ur kids, it's very important,

I always speak from experience, I was at the backyard of my house the other day, and I noticed that my next door neighbor just had a misunderstanding with the wife and after the man left the house, the wife sat outside the house doing some hand laundry, with 2 of the kids around her, u need to see the way d lady was saying some harsh words to the kids about their father, I wouldn't want to say it, cus it was just not worth hearing such from her, I just went back into my room and I sat on my couch and reason that if this man and woman continues to have such a misunderstanding and while the wife spends more of the time with d kids, trust me, the kids will channel so much hate for their father, even thinking that their mother is the bread winner of the house, not knowing is their father ,,


So pls my fellow men out there,
always create time for your kids, call them, if u are base outside the country, do a Skype call with them,
often, if u can call them every day by evening call them because na old age matters o,
for u men who are within the country, calls check up on them via calls or chat, a 1 minutes call will go a long way in their thinking about anyone has said or told them concerning u

Speaking from experience, that's is what saved my own father that we still use to respect him till date, even though my own mother backlash at hime at his back ,a day never passes by my father doesn't drop a call on my cell phone, infact he call me pass mtn,
and dat is what I have actually used to prove my mother wrong,

I hate people that pretend,

Politics / Re: South Africans React As Nigerian Man Threatens To Retaliate In Boko Haram Style by liberalchick(f): 3:29pm On Sep 04, 2019
Now you want to revise history, SA wasn’t empty, it had natives! Albeit scattered and not organized. I didn’t say human migration didn’t happen or that it was rare. Those that migrated to a place that they are NOT indigenous to are/were settlers. Indigenous: originating from a place, natives; Dutch: A Germanic ethnic group.

LocalNietzsche:
Human beings have always wandered and settle somewhere. Whether is intra-continental or inter-continental. When the Dutch settled at the southern Africa, it was a no man's land. Remember the concept of a nation state not kingdoms or hermits is relatively modern idea. Have you seen the size of South Africa? There was no kingdom of that size before Advent of colonialism in Africa at that location.

You have to be kidding, but I am going to play.

Indigenous, a native originating from a place. The Dutch, INDIGENOUS to Europe, came to South Africa and SETTLED there. Even the Spaniards that settled in the Americas way before the Dutch did in SA, everyone knows they are NOT indigenous to America. Indigenous Americans are called Natives.

The Fula people are highly nomadic they settled in West and Central Africa. No one knows where they originate from. Are they indigenous to present day Nigeria? NO!

Your comparison though? So you want to compare African tribes that migrated in the BCs to a whole other race from another continent that took ships to settle/subjugate another race in another continent?

FALSE

Nigerians were not more or less xenophobic than Ghanaians when they expelled Nigerian immigrants from their country in 69. In-fact if you read the journal you world see Ghanaians were quite aggressive.

I am yet to see prove Nigerians murdered Ghanaians in the 80s. If you have prove, post them here.

You are happy Nigerians are being slaughtered, simple. It has nothing to do with the executive order ‘Ghana must go’.

Did you read the peer reviewed journal or you’re just making up your own facts?

Anyways, whatever caused the economic boom is irrelevant.

So... what’s different with Ghana must go ‘83? Like Ghana in 69, the economy could no longer sustain economic migrants and the locals clamored for mass deportation of immigrants.

You are biased and you’re not being objective.

Just30:
It wasnt the cocoa sector that brought workers to Ghana
it was the manufacturing sector

There was more work than available workers
people were house freely on the Ghanaian taxpayer dime.

It is only reasonable that they be sent back to their countries when the economy can no longer house and hire them.

No need to revise the history of November, 69 because of patrotism. No shame in admitting that it’s normal for indigene residents to be wary of immigrants especially during an economic crisis.

Ghana’s cocoa industry was doing well which resulted in an economic boom, it attracted many African immigrants. When the Ghana economy became bad, the citizens wanted immigrants expelled. Ditto Nigeria’s 70s/gulf war oil boom and subsequent economy crisis.

Ask every single African country
what Ghana contributed to their economy and in making their country a free one.
whiles you are at it, go and ask your historians of how Zik was given employment in Accra and trained to become a freedom fighter.

Ghana sent millions and cloths and medicines to both Liberia and Senegal during all of their crisis.

In the 80s, Ghana transported it own citizens back to Ghana in buses and ships

Brilliant! Those that make the ‘cash in hand’ argument are being simplistic.

shine12:
I use to have a cash at hand mentality. While I agree that too much debt is bad for an individual and that the financial companies in the western world are almost operating at usury level now and very greedy at the same time how do you expect a drop-out bus driver to buy a house, a family car, pay for car insurance with cash at hand. Its through credit.
In the western world, the jobs that are frowned upon in Africa like a bus driver can guarantee a mortgage and the bus driver can even own a house and a family car through credit.
Credit is nothing but borrowing from your expected future earnings. The buy with cash at hand mentality doesn't mean anything. In fact credit drives growth. The reason why we don't have as much infrastructural development in Africa is that FDI credit is not coming our way.

A large nation cannot move to middle income or high income status without credit to coming from consumer spending.

Hypothetical Question:
If you have £100,000 at hand and you can invest it and net a 10% yield yearly or rather buy a house and pay 2% interest on the loan. Do you buy with the "cash" or invest your money and pay the credit interest from your investment income and be left with 8%.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Trump Stops Automatic Citizenship For People Born Abroad by liberalchick(f): 5:05am On Aug 31, 2019
It doesn’t make sense because that is NOT the policy. Birthright citizenship is written in the constitution, it can’t be changed by an executive order. A child born to a US citizen outside the US is a US citizen by birth. The OP is misleading. The policy mostly targets non citizen US military that give birth on a US base. US base no longer treated as US soil.

nextstep:


The policy doesn't even make sense, since it only affects people who are already US citizens, who give birth while abroad. It does not affect children born in the US nor their (possibly foreign) parents.

Yea, it debuted in 1988 but it didn’t catch on till the 90s. By the mid 90s, Nigerian parents were feeding their kids indomie. The Indomie generation upper limit should be about 20-22y so basically generation Z depending on which stat you use.

The Indomie generation have little to no reference pre 2000s. Nigeria and the world changed a lot after the 90s. I think most older generation Nigerians feel some topics need a good pre 2000s knowledge. E.g. Indomie generation don’t know a Nigeria under the military rule, can’t remember Nigeria without the internet, cell phones, writing and posting letters etc.

Also, it’s just the typical generational war. Previous generations always bash their successors. For instance, on a global scale millennials are being shit on constantly by previous generations.

Age is irrelevant in all any form of relationship in life Even at your work place. What really matters is the ability or capability to dominate or to be dominated. I call it power struggle. When people gets dominated they succumb to it by justifying age difference.

Family / Re: Should A Wife Submit Her Salary? by liberalchick(f): 1:47pm On Aug 30, 2019
Yes, husband and wife should both contribute financially in a marriage but the Nigerian wife is living in a society that doesn’t recognize said financial contribution. When you have a society that doesn’t appreciate a wife’s role in building the communal property of a marriage, then the wife has to look out for herself and her children. Most Nigerian wives hoard money for a rainy day fund. Nigerian women have seen too many wives been kicked out without a kobo to their names start from scratch, too many cautionary tales out there for you not to protect yourself and your kids.

Nigerian men laugh and mock the Western family laws, then in turn cry when Nigerian wives get creative in the absence of such laws. You guys can’t have it both ways.

If she suddenly started hoarding and saving after 10 years of marriage, then, A. something changed in the marriage that made her re-access what would happen to her financially if the marriage ends. B. She got a good advice.

Rather than request a submission of salary, you guys can agree she picks up a/some household expense(s).
