FamilySecurity/freedom For The Nigerian Girl Child by Lionize(op): 8:58am On Apr 30, 2023
yesterday i went to thrash some food waste, it was around past 1 am and I saw a young girl strolling home, alone. The bus stop is at least 100m away if she had came off the bus. Then I immediately wondered if this can happen in Nigeria. if circumstances leads to a Nigerian girl finding herself on the street at such 'ungodly' hour, then you know what chased her out is far worse than her fears (robbery, molestation, kidnapping for marathon sex or money ritual, etc).

I observed that it is common for group of girls who are friends go out to God-knows-where (it could be bars and clubs or movie theatre, the stadium, or just taking a walk) just by themselves, no male company. That means they pay their bills and are not afraid of any form of harassment from any man. Then I also thought to myself one day, are there Nigerian girls who do this without latching unto a man who will pay the bills or serve as security?

The kind of freedom girls enjoy out here makes one no longer afraid of having a female child. But in Nigeria, I honestly feel and get horrified most times about how vulnerable the girl child is. Some times when you see sex happen amongst Nigerian youths, it's not that the girl wanted it, it's because she has been cowered into it. She has come to a point that she knows that if she doesn't give in, she will be raped, so she simply tries to play along and get anything she can out of it, knowing fully well that she has walked into a trap already. And thereafter, she wouldn't dare voice it to anyone because every Nigerian believes that if you don't scream until you are heard, then you were not raped. I honestly feel for the Nigerian girl child/woman. My heart bleeds for them sometimes. The monsters they turn out to be as wives sometimes is as a result of what the society has pushed at them from birth.

Some places, even if a girl accepts to go to the club with you or visit you, and by any chance, she gets drunk (whether you purposely caused her to be or not), and sex happens. She can claim you took advantage of her and tag it rape, so long as she felt bad when she realised you had sex with her. But if it's in Nigeria, the girl will rather be shamed if she ever tries that. This is the major reason when Nigerian women are taken abroad by their husbands, they turn to devils. They simply want to get a revenge against the Nigerian system, which her husband belongs to, they want to feel the power the Nigerian Society never let them have, with 'jara' on top.

I stand with the Nigerian woman and I propose freedom and utmost security for the Nigerian girl-child.

FamilyRe: You Left Your Husband Because He Was Cheating. Then This Happens (pix) by Lionize: 5:53am On Apr 30, 2023
Earthstorms:
If the kids are with the man or if he drops the kids with a relative, the man will still be forced to take financial responsibility for the kids.

When the women leave with the kids, the man simply abandons the financial responsibilities of the kids for the woman to bear.

I have seen many divorced women do things they normally will not do just to feed their kids. This is after the fathers abscond after divorce and move on with other women.

By saying nobody can take care of a child like the mother, you are repeating the lines these women tell themselves that make them take in financial burdens of the children, a burden that in many cases is beyond their capacity.
I bet you did not get my drift. I was simply telling you why the women go with the kids I am neither support nor dissuading them.

How well can a mother take care of a child without the required finance?
FamilyRe: You Left Your Husband Because He Was Cheating. Then This Happens (pix) by Lionize: 9:53pm On Apr 29, 2023
Earthstorms:
It hurts when the trust is broken that is why some women leave a cheating husband.

However life later force such women to either become someone else side chick or a second wife. So the women do not really escape sharing the men.

What can the women really do? It is a man's world in Africa so it is more difficult for women to survive and take care of the kids alone. The first mistake they make when leaving is that they take the kids along.

To me, if a woman is leaving a man because he is cheating, she should leave the kids for him and bother only about herself.
@ bolder. It is true that limits them but the
average 'responsible' Nigerian woman will never be at peace because the man will most likely drop off the kids with a relative and send money for upkeep plus regular visits until he remarries. Nobody will care for a child like his mother.
CareerRe: I Am Approaching 40 And Am Scared My Dreams Are Not Realistic by Lionize: 2:15pm On Apr 28, 2023
greatopec:
Good day Nairalanders
I will be 40 on Oct 19 this year and I am scared the kind of life I have always desired may not be
achievable. Let me list these things that worries me so that you can probably advise me or assist me in achieving any of them.
1) By 40 I had wished I will be living in my house with cars in my garage
Current situation- I am a salary earner who eagerly waits for the salary to drop before my family can eat conveniently every month.
2)I love cars and driving. Was thinking of getting a good car for Uber business.
Current situation- I have not been able to gather enough money to buy a car for Uber or personal use.
3)Seeking greener pasture abroad.
Current situation- I have not been able to have enough disposable income to even get a passport to start with in the first place.
4)Self development. I had interest in programming so I decided to learn coding and all that. I started with free code camp and also this thread by iyenimofe on nairaland has been so helpful https://www.nairaland.com/1383359/learn-web-design-live-nairaland/6#17571611
The issue I have progressing is that of enough data subscription to watch more tutorials.
5)Acquisition of at least Masters.
I have a passion for learning and self development but I struggled to have my HND with distinction. Gathering enough funds to start my masters program has been an uphill task.

Little about my background
I am an HND graduate
I have a sister who am responsible for also.
I have a wife and two kids.
I work 8-5weekdays
Hello, I was in your shoes. I was stuck. My situation was much better but if I hadn't taken the bull by the horn, I knew if things remained the way they were, I'll get to exactly where you are.
For me, I was a banker, I had two cars, two landed properties to my name, no house, married with little kids. I thought at 40 I would have quit banking,had a business rolling in cash everyday, pursued my academic dreams, and live the life.

The country is not a decent place for decent people. The efforts to live a decent life without compromises was frustrating. The system rewards evil, cultism, bribery, immorality, and I was not in on any of those.

Two years ago, I quit and left the country.

Warning: you must sacrifice something. Stop drinking beer, or indulging in anything that you know drains you financially (maybe infidelity).
That data thing you said, make sure you have that, and then chuk your head into that programming you mentioned, use YouTube and every available free resources - I did same thing and enter python.

Seek out scholarships abroad (not many places in Europe because of that hnd wey go carry).

Or if you have a link to any EU country, find money fall into any of them, seek for asylum, and in about 3 to 4 years time, you will be a changed person, you and your descendants.

You can also look at a viable business to start in Nigeria. I know you will say 'capital this, capital that', still, lol for a business and start.
Whatever happens, keep your head high, it is never too late to step out, but the earlier you do, the better.

On a lighter note, how you been Wan achieve those things wey you list up there, by working 8-5 with hnd in Nigeria?

I don't understand how people will ask court to stop being investigated from crime they actually committed, and the court complies sometimes. Someone In this country has a 'perpetual injunction' against law enforcement agents, a thief o. I think our constitution and justice system need to be reviewed, this time by young minds.

Ofcourse, Nigerians are looking up to God for this miracle. If God doesn't step in, then it means he still wants to punish us more. It is only God that is more powerful than the devil whom 99% of our politicians serve and worship. The judiciary, the law enforcement agents, the agberos, the government, etc, have all been sold. Yes, only God can perform this miracle.

Dead end. You could have simply washed away all your sins if you had given them a credible election as you promised.

The problem now is that you are still telling them that the election was credible, making all your sins unforgivable because now you seem to see them as sub-humans

PoliticsHow Tinubu Can Fix Nigeria by Lionize(op): 11:31am On Apr 21, 2023
One thing I suggest BAT should do as a president is to sponsor a bill that mandates all levels of government and its parqstatals and agencies to make their receipts and expenses public, to the last detail, on a monthly basis. This will automatically put him in the good books of history and also put govt officials in check. This should be a law.

And every govt organization should do this before the 15th of the following month, failure which attracts removal of immunity from those who have it, and face stiff penalties, starting from suspension followed by prosecution.

Wow I love seeing these stories…your wife is lucky to have you. I absolutely believe you my man is also one of the rare faithful type very thankful to God.
If only men will know that cheating is not worth it, so long you have the thing and can never be denied you (my wife and I actually agreed that even if we dey quarrel, if anyone wants it, just take it, no reason enough to deny each other the thing wey belong to both of us). The trouble that comes with cheating is more than 1000 times the pleasure. Talking of pleasure, what if you cheat with someone with odor there, or who for many other reasons denies you the short time pleasure with bad experience, your life don kukuma finish be that.

Rokiat:
I would like to believe there are still men that are faithful To their women in relationships. And despite the narrative not all men cheat.

So faithful Men of nairaland, how do you manage to remain faithful?
Before I left Nigeria, I went to the altar in church, in the full glare of church members, and vowed to God I'll never cheat on my wife while away (not that I ever cheated since we got married). I've been without her for almost 2 year now, I never kiss another woman. When the temptation come, some silly girls acting up around, I simply remind myself "if you try it, you're gone. He is watching you". Omo, I go just mellow dey pursue wetin dey pursue me.

And it's like my wife self trusts more than I trust myself because one day like that something told me, after a girl was in.my place late in the night (we.went out to see the fireworks), do it and ask God for forgiveness.

But Las Las, I am an example that it is possible le.to remain faithful even while away from your wife (this seems impossible to Nigerian men).

They have been working on the road for a while now. Its just remaining small
The way it takes ages to build roads in the southeast is purely political. by the time they are finishing one end, the first set has become bad already. I only saw good road in the 80s, my father and I used to travel along Enugu-PH every other weekend, and the trip costs barely 2 hours. For the past 20 years +, that road has not been pliable.
