Omoawoke:Many of the "bad girls" you refer to are actually flaunting luxurious gifts on social media. I don't understand why people get so triggered by others' experiences. Why is there such a strong desire to silence the truth and hide reality? Sometimes feelings can be misleading. If life were presented as it truly is, more people would make better decisions. The fact is, both "good" and "bad" girls can suffer if they choose the wrong partner. |
Omoawoke:You’re quick to project instead of understand. This is post is about someone expressing deep frustration, not preaching negativity. If her truth makes you uncomfortable, maybe look inward instead of dismissing her pain with false moral superiority. |
See comments 😂. A wise woman would prioritize being financially independent before marriage because marriage can limit women. |
Omoawoke:If you don't project, you won't feel good about yourself. Keep ranting. |
jaxxy:It doesn't matter if she was a virgin in the village. Are there not human beings in the village? The truth is, virginity kept for validation, not conviction, is just delayed confusion. Any discipline practiced for external praise is bound to fail under pressure. Many virgins hold out, expecting a fairytale, only to realize that marriage isn’t magic. Expectations ruin more than temptation ever could. Some men treat their wives like donkeys; just piling burdening on them and denying them true value. They assume that rendering them unproductive will tame them. There’s no clear evidence she’s sexually involved. She might simply be handling her boredom the wrong way. |
Nonexisting1:Many women can endure hardship and tolerate a lot of the tantrums men throw. But physical violence and infidelity? Those are deal breakers for most. You are not showing any kind gesture, yet you are violent. You will learn a lesson. Haven’t you seen men who come online throwing tantrums because their wives left without saying a word? Or those whose wives secretly applied for a visa and flew out of the country without any prior notice? |
Nonexisting1:Isn’t it ironic that the very reason a caring woman argues or complains is because she cares; and yet, that's what triggers some people to be violent? People like you deserve emotionally detached women; those who are unconcerned and not invested in you. The kind who would praise you even when you're headed in the wrong direction, while focusing solely on their own personal growth. Women often give their all in relationships. They care deeply, make sacrifices, and invest their emotions completely. Some women would even be content living in a hut with a man they love. But a wise man understands that relationships require mutual affection. He would never take a woman’s love and sacrifices for granted. Even the smallest gesture of appreciation can make a woman feel valued and strengthen her love. |
Firebox123:Experiences are shared so others can learn. Sometimes, the truth just doesn’t fit the fairytale you’re holding onto. Not every story is fake just because it makes you uncomfortable. I don’t know if this exact story is real. But I’ve heard enough like it to know: It happens. Ask some women why they’re still virgins, and you’ll hear: "Because my husband will cherish me." But what happens when the one expecting to be cherished… Becomes the one doing all the cherishing? Let’s be honest: The men who truly value women aren’t obsessed with virginity. The loudest ones are often insecure, or just looking for a slave with a moral certificate. It’s funny how virginity is overhyped, Yet non-virgins can brag about gifts like G-Wagons, Lamborghinis, and houses in Ikoyi... But virgins? They get endurance. And bragging rights; for their husbands. A pure show of strength, and a lifetime performance just to prove her worth. You’ll hear: "I married my wife a virgin. She’s so strong. She cooks five meals a day, cleans, wakes up at 5am, sleeps at midnight. She is so homely and reserved..." Just endless praise. Where is the reward promised in the advertisements? Virginity doesn’t need misleading ads or empty hype. And there’s no need to divide women into virgins and non-virgins. Let women breathe. Simple. |
Go to Church and pray for her. That man must have charmed her, this is clearly the work of the devil. |
jaxxy:She just didn’t see the right opportunity 😂 Did he say he married a ten-year-old? The fairytales probably didn't come true; unmet expectations. I have explained several times that misleading advertisements can attract misled buyers. |
Nonexisting1:You don't get it because you're no different from him; you’re clearly a user just like he is. He has a good wife, but he refuses to reciprocate by being a good husband. It's her thirtieth birthday, for God's sake! He can't just go around bragging about her efforts. He could have shown he cares by simply buying her something, even if it wasn’t expensive. |
My husband brags to his friends how am a strong woman and how I have been with him since he had nothing till now he still has nothing but he shamelessly tells them how i can endure anything.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17MBgNkKgP/ (Not my story. Came across this and it really hit me. What do you think?) |
[quote author=kcprince post=136005898]The system is flawed. Pray never to need Nigerian state fire, health , police , judiciary in your life journey . They will mess you up |
Celestialsword:Amen. May this new chapter come sooner than we think. |
This is how you know Nigeria is a failed country; not even one system is functioning properly. |
Will there ever come a time in Nigeria when the cries of the citizens will reach the ears of the government, and the government will stop claiming they were unaware of the people's pain? |
Uniform without reform is just costume. And in this country, the performance is always tragic. |
My car was recently involved in a serious accident. It veered off the road and was completely destroyed. By some miracle, no lives were lost; only minor injuries were sustained. But what happened afterward revealed a deeper rot in our system than the accident itself. Less than an hour after the crash, policemen arrived; not to check on the victims, not to secure the scene, and certainly not to help. Their only concern was towing the car to their station, even though: • The car was off the road and not obstructing traffic. • A towing vehicle had already been called and was on its way. • Victims were still being treated at the scene. They didn’t care. They were focused on one thing: extorting money. Despite being told the accident had just occurred and that help was already on the way, they insisted on towing the car. By the time my mum arrived, they had already taken money and were still demanding more. They only backed off after she put a call through to her brother; a senior officer. Until then, they had shown no compassion, no patience, and no understanding of the situation. And then there was the hospital. One woman was visibly bleeding, yet the staff barely treated her. They didn’t examine her properly, left her wound exposed, and hardly even cleaned it. And despite this lack of basic care, they still demanded payment. Is this what it means to be a citizen in this country? Our police force meant to protect lives and property; now specializes in harassment and exploitation. Hospitals meant to save lives; treat people like numbers, or worse, like burdens. And the average Nigerian is left to fend for themselves at their most vulnerable. I remember being in a minor accident in the UK; not a scratch on anyone and the police kept asking, “Are you okay? Do you need medical attention?” That is what duty and humanity should look like. Here, you're lucky to survive the accident. But surviving the system; that’s the real miracle.

bukatyne:Nice write-up but this is not totally right. |
Reality3080:Calling facts dumb won’t cancel them; it just shows your own inability to face them. Saying ‘it varies’ doesn’t cancel the fact that women are often the backbone across board. That’s like saying poverty isn’t real because some people are rich. |
Reality3080:While men are often praised for income, women quietly carry both the home and the hustle. And still, they’re expected to submit, even when they’re the ones holding everything together. |
Zonefree:Women don’t just bring something to the table; many times, they are the table. They bring emotional intelligence, resilience, vision, and daily sacrifices that keep families and society going. |
In my opinion, Nigerian women bring more to the table

Kobojunkie:I can't argue with a shadow. If my acceptance will make you feel justified, I accept, you are right and I am wrong. A man who calls the mirror ugly walks away unchanged. Be blessed! |
Kobojunkie:Yes, walk away, is there a problem? Proverb 14:7 TLV. Understanding comes when we seek truth with an open heart, not by engaging in discussions that lack intellectual or Spiritual nourishment. May the good God heal you. Be Blessed. |
Kobojunkie:Okay, sweetie, I get you; but when the Word says walk away, who am I to argue? Proverbs 14:7. Be blessed. |
Kobojunkie:Proverb 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: |
suckprick:Fortunately, it’s not only your type of men that exist. With the kind of men I date and surround myself with, I doubt I’ll end up with rubbish as a husband. No other generation of women should be led by fear and misinterpreted Scriptures. If the truth stings, sit with it. It’s supposed to. You’re probably one of those whose control depends on the ignorance of women. You’re scared of the truth because it will break that leash you’ve got going. |
Kobojunkie:You call it lazy to seek the truth. But Proverbs 18:2 says, 'A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. |
