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. 4 Likes |

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.

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: 8 Likes 1 Share |

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: 7 Likes |

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. Regiomontanus: 7 Likes |

“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: 8 Likes |

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: 12 Likes |

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: 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: South Africans React As Nigerian Man Threatens To Retaliate In Boko Haram Style by liberalchick(f): 2:31pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
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?

Politics / Re: #xenophobia: How Nigeria Spent $61BN To Free South Africa From Apartheid by liberalchick(f): 12:08am On Sep 04, 2019 |
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’. Just30: 1 Like |

I agree with your sentiment, I think people should fight for what is right wether it benefits them or not. However, I crossed out the “white indigenous South Africans” because those does not exist. I am not Igbo, neither do I live in Lagos. LocalNietzsche: 3 Likes |

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: 1 Like |

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.

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: |

Family / Re: Indomie Generation: Who Exactly Are They? by liberalchick(f): 3:33am On Aug 31, 2019 |
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. 286 Likes 30 Shares |

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). 24 Likes 1 Share |
