Velocitron:
I never read articles from biased sources or based on biased studies. The study in the article was done by the "The American Association of University Women". Doesn't sound very neutral to me.

Besides, other factors such as work experience, pay negotiation, confidence (to ask for raises), connections, time spent at that company, education etc were not accounted for.

You can fumble with numbers or twists facts as much as you want to. There just isn't a wage gap between men and women in developed countries.

Velocitron:
In fact, pay discrimination is very illegal.

It's because women work fewer hours and do less overtime in a pay-per-hour job. So who do you think is taking home more money for the same work? The woman who works from 9 to 4 or the man who works from 8 to 6 and does overtime on the weekends?

You nah... Idi funny
The Nobel prize aint no ordinary prizen it's given to people with remarkable achievements in certain discipline....
Einstein won it for his achievements in physics, John Nash won it in economics for "game theory", as for literature, only 3 people have won it in Africa, soyinka being the first.. Even achebe did not get it,so it's quiet a big deal... Comparing soyinka to adichie is quiet unfair, the gap is too much, it's like comparing chris brown to Michael jackson...

Velocitron:
One thing I haaaaaaattte more than anything is this victim culture women and blacks tend to have nowadays! As long as you're a rich, educated woman living in a first world country, you're more privileged than most people so you should be the last person whining about 'oppression'. So what if someone said something rude to you? So that's the definition of 'oppressed'?

No one is holding you back, no 'glass-ceiling', no 'wage-gap' whatever. We women are even lucky that we can use our looks or sex to get by. So stop the whining, please.

thorpido:
Even if Jonathan wins it,it will be a Peace prize.We are speaking about a Nobel prize in Literature.There is a difference.

Olaone1:

Take style ?

Be very serious about it. Its good to start seeking wife from age 28..

All those girls who demand one thing after another are not after marrige,. They are called runz girls..

My brother, if I knew the strategy, I'd be very unpopular with the ladies BUT I'd have a VERY FAT bank account indeed!
Sadly, there's isn't really. Most of the strategies if followed, it's what Nairaland ladies like to describe as follows:

deeply insecure, has trust issues, snoops around an innocent girl/wife, he does not even trust himself, he knows he doesn't deserve the woman, not man enough, he's sexist, misogynist, etc.

One feminist wannabe or the other will find a way to use one of the above even if completely irrelevant.

Basically, it will involve carefully monitoring and observing her right from courtship. Try to know the reason she's with you. Is it because you're successful or at least presented yourself as such? Or is it love?

Is she VERY materialistic and is only concerned about beautiful things now or talks about achieving solid goals for the future together?
How does she react to a situation when money is not flowing or when you pretend money is not flowing?

How do you rate her principles, morality and integrity. Be aware that ladies are experts at pretending.
Understand her environment and upbringing.

I say upbringing rather than religion because religion has been so bastardised now, that the married pastor might even be the one who disvirgined her. So all that stuff is losing credibility fast. Only God knows his people now.

Fact is from your observations, you might be able to tell to some extent.

But remember, ladies keep their game very close to their chest. For them, fear of exposure and public disgrace is very big, so they take extra precautions. Playing the part and presenting the perfect picture of a virtuous woman is all important.

If killing you the husband is what it will take to protect that fake image, she'll have no qualms doing it.

An average Nigerian girl lacks manners..

Poor upbringing and runz mentality..

Was the said dad not aware of the grand finale? Would running to the press solve the issue. He only made an already bad situation worse. Does the lady have no family to report her to? Has he so far been active as a father? Did he share in other major challenges in the baby's life or just this one particularly? Why did he not go to the press before now when the lady sidelined him? This situation can not be compared to picking up passports because a woman has the ultimate right to keep her kids from an irresponsible father, now before am attacked i didn't say this man was irresponsible cuz i don't know him, i am just saying lets keep quiet and listen to the other-side if she wishes to talk.

M4gunners:
It is easy to blame the woman without hearing from her. Some Men could be so useless that they have kids everywhere and refuse to train them. He is claiming to be taking care of her, why didn't he know that her daughter has advance to the 3rd round if is really taking care of her. I'm saying this because of the experience i got here with some of my nigeria friends who would rather stop working in other not to pay for their Child here in Europe. For getting the Child could be somebody in future.

AreaFada2:
But who knows if the PZ presentation ceremony man is the actual biological dad?

From DNA tests, 50% of first born kids belong to another man outside.

30% of all kids belong to another man outside.
It can be a neighbour, former boyfriend/sugar daddy, work colleague, client, best friend's husband, husband's best friend, driver, gateman, etc.

This might be the real dad coming out at last.

Lots of women have many dirty secrets.

Truckpusher:
Every woman does that ,they try to manipulate the kids to hate on their Dad even if the dude worked his asss off to make them happy.
Women are evil.

palma:
Will this man have gone to the press if the said child did not win? Before we point that finger counter your accusations first. We only read one side of the story, and in yorubaland we have a saying that agbo ejo enikan da, agba osika ni." Which means if you listen to just one person's complain and judge then you are a wicked old fool. Let the lady explain why she did what she did before we open our mouth and commit a great offence against an innocent person.

bigmo1:
Look at the stiff and dry face again

superduperjay:
From her own side. One of her inlaws(sister's husband) I don't know if he was aware o but I think since he refused helping her make the video she probably stopped telling him what was up with the event.

superduperjay:
Th op didn't finish the story jor. The lady di everything for the baby to win. On the day of the finale the lady went with a male relative and the baby won. The man is just pained jare that she was able to pull everything off for the baby to win and the baby won without his help. See his mouth like "fake" as if he dosent know all his wife's family members. Yeyeh man.

bigmo1:
The lady looks perfectly like someone who can do such.

emmatok:
They're not divorce(temporary separated) and this happened.
But the wife got questions to answer, about the strange man she made the father her daughter.
Because it will hunt her future and the Daughter might end up hating her and trusting her real father.

pazienza:
So? France would have failed to qualify for Korea-Japan 2002, if not that Fifa was still giving automatic qualification to defending champions as of then.


The same France that demolished opponents and dazzled the crowd in 1998 and Euro 2000, got knocked out in group stages of the world cup 4years later, , it happens!

But we can't say because France deteriorated in 2002, therefore their cup winning team of 1998 that demolished tournament favourites Brazil was but an average team, same is applicable to the SE of 2013 and that of 2014/2015.

Teams rise and fall.That is no reason to use current performance to judge a once great team.

Jarus:
Consult history textbooks if you are young.

Go and read about Bruce Grobbelaar and Thomas Nkono.
