Good advice, except for the part about requiring assets. Not everyone can afford or maintain luxury assets, fingers are not equal. |

Starz825:Stop comparing puff-puff to hamburger. Marrying a king means accepting the responsibilities of a queen. Queen Vashti simply failed in her duties, which angered both the king and his subjects. Don't be biased or one-sided. If most men also treated their wives well, their wives would happily stay with them. |
Car is not even a good asset, it loses value over time. I once sold a car that was purchased for over 3 million naira for 1.3 million naira. Car is advisable for married couples with children but not essential for single people. In times like these, car provides liability, I spend a lot on fuel and maintenance. |
ewa20buredi100:Thanks. |
Ingriid:Thanks |
numericalguy:I've seen many of my friends, acquaintances, and relatives get married in their 30s and have children without any issues. I have never personally encountered a woman in her 30s struggling with age-related fertility problems. Of course, I can't dismiss the possibility that some women in Nigeria might be experiencing this because I haven’t conducted large-scale research. If you’ve done thorough research or you're a medical professional with firsthand experience, I’d genuinely respect your opinion. In fact, I’d even ask you to educate us further on the matter, because medical professionals work with women daily and have access to real-world data. That said, you can’t just rely on Google as your sole source of information. How many women around you have you personally seen dealing with this? You shouldn’t take every search result as a universal truth. Some of those studies might be based on specific countries or regions, which may not reflect the reality in Nigeria or even Africa as a whole. In fact, if a proper study were conducted in Nigeria, the results might show that age-related fertility issues aren’t as common among Nigerian women in their 30s as you’re presuming, or that only a small percentage are affected. Yes, a woman's egg count declines once she reaches 30, but that doesn’t automatically mean majority of women struggle with fertility at that age. Women are born with a large number of eggs, so women still have more than enough left to conceive in their 30s. And by the way, Mr. Man, why not first remove that which is in your own eye? Have you ever empathized with yourself and your fellow men? Hypocrite. |
cr7lomo:IVF? LOL. Science had to catch up with my grandma, not the other way around, my dad was born well before the '80s. And though he's a Christian, he was born to Muslim parents. A lot of things happened in those days that were never documented. Sit down with some senior citizens and ask them questions instead of solely relying on Google for information. Things are changing with time, life expectancy used to be 100+, but it’s gradually decreasing. My paternal grandmother passed away at 100. My maternal great-grandmother died in 2009 at over 100 years old. |
cr7lomo:Disagreeing with your baseless claims doesn’t mean I’m being emotional. I’m simply trying to educate you so you don’t keep spreading misinformation and blindly Googling things without actually understanding them. If you recall, you started by falsely claiming that men rarely marry women in their 30s. By the way, why is your focus often on women's issues? Why haven’t you ever advised your fellow men to cut down on sugar? Excessive sugar consumption negatively affects male fertility and sexual performance. Stop acting like women reach menopause in their 30s or that all women in their 30s struggle with fertility issues. While women do experience a gradual decline in egg count, fertility issues are less common in the early 30s. Yes, fertility issues become more prevalent in the late 30s, but many women still conceive naturally at this stage. Let me cite some examples, just as you did: Rihanna gave birth to her second child at 35 with no issues. My cousin gave birth at 37 with no issues. Nicki Minaj gave birth at 37 with no issues. I have friends who gave birth in their late 30s with no issues, some were even 38 or 39. Though aging can lead to reduced sperm quality in some men over 60, some remain capable of fathering children. Similarly, although women's fertility declines after 35, with a more pronounced decrease after 40, some women in this age group can still conceive naturally. Everybody's biological clock is unique. Susan Sarandon had her children between the ages of 39 and 45 with no issues. Halle Berry gave birth at 47 with no issues. Up to twenty of my acquaintances were over forty, and some were even up to fifty, and they gave birth without issues. My grandma was over sixty when she gave birth to my dad without issues. |
cr7lomo:You don’t need to bring God into your baseless claims, just stick to biological facts since you seem allergic to reality. Wow, what a scientist you are! You cherry-picked one example and decided it applies to all men, impressive logic. By that same reasoning, since Ekene Umena had a baby at 33, that must mean all women remain fertile as long as they’re healthy and maintain a good lifestyle, right? Yes, fertility declines with age for women, but many in their 30s still conceive naturally. Male fertility isn’t immune to aging either, sperm count and quality start declining around 35-40. Does that mean all men over 40 are infertile? No. Just like women don’t suddenly lose their ability to conceive once they hit 30. In fact, women have more than enough eggs, so even after losing a significant percentage, they still have plenty left to conceive. The takeaway? Few women experience age-related fertility issues in their 30s, just as few men do as well. So, stop the sweeping generalizations. |
cr7lomo:I’ve advised you before to do proper research before making baseless claims. Did you visit marriage registries, churches, mosques, or other wedding venues to verify whether up to 70% of brides are in their 20s before declaring that men hardly marry women in their 30s? Or you just pulled your claim out of thin air? You sound like someone who skimmed through a high school biology textbook and now thinks he's an expert. Since you seem so eager to learn ‘biology,’ let me educate you: while women’s fertility declines at 35-40, men’s sperm quality also starts deteriorating around the same time. Aging sperm leads to lower motility, higher DNA damage, and increased risks of autism, schizophrenia, and genetic disorders in children. Instead of obsessing over women, maybe advice your fellow men to get their sperm checked because a lot of them have sperm that get a head start but can’t even swim, let alone make a baby. Many women in their 30s conceive naturally. Menopause, which happens around 45-50, is the real cut-off, not some imaginary ‘30-year expiration date’ you made up. |
DyshApp:👍 |
Smile4mee01:It is likely that she is still fertile at 39, but if you have doubts, it is best to undergo a medical test to find out. Sorry about your childhood trauma. I understand how you feel because I have been there. It is very likely that an introvert has experienced trauma, as people often cheat, manipulate, and take advantage of them. Introverts are also more likely to miss out on many opportunities. They are highly calculated and full of potential, but their timid and gentle nature may prevent them from unleashing even a quarter of their true abilities. I used to be very timid. People could barely find fault in me; in fact, I was a people-pleaser. I dreamed of a happy world where everyone was kind and got along, but now I don’t care. I simply reciprocate people's attitudes toward me. I consider being introverted a serious illness. If you are not happy with being introverted, please try to work on yourself. I worked on myself and was able to overcome the illness to a large extent. Start by being open to criticism. Try to care less about other people's opinions of you, and don't seek their validation or allow them impose it on you, if they are not the ones paying your bills, then their validation shouldn't matter. Be open to making mistakes, nobody is perfect, you don’t have to be either. Don’t be bothered by insults. Most insults aren’t even real; they are just meant to make you feel bad. People can have opinions about you, but that doesn’t mean they are right. |
cr7lomo:🤡 You’re just a clown. Pure defence with zero evidence, no statistics and and no logic. The woman, female teacher, one woman, that woman, two women...😂 why not just adjust statistics or rewrite history to suit your narrative? Try again, but with facts next time. Maybe, hunger for don kill una sisters but not me. |
cr7lomo:I agree with you jor; we should never permit such a thing. A gender that so much loves to use violence against those that are weaker than them should not be allowed in power; they should be completely excluded from it. Statistics should be used to determine the most violent gender, and that gender should be banned from power - the gender with the highest rates of domestic violence, rape, child molestation, murder, ritual killings, kidnapping, assassinations, armed robbery, fraud, and other violent crimes. Did it just backfire in your face, huh? |
Yugoslavia247:What an excuse to silence women. You make it seem like there’s a shortage of violent men. |
pussyphilia:Use your head. |
Happy to be blessed with an intelligent mother, I admire how she keeps studying, she is about to pursue another PhD program. I often wonder how she is able to juggle life as a full-time wife while being a working professional. https://www.tiktok.com/video/7478224629518044421/ |
Antwan99:😂🤣🤣 I had a nice time watching you struggle with reality. Good luck with your delusions! |
Antwan99:Just take the L and move on. Your argument crumbled the moment you had to shift from "women never contribute" to "but men guided them!" Did men guide Marie Curie to two Nobel Prizes? Did they hold Margaret Hamilton’s hand while she wrote the code that put men on the moon? Did they whisper the structure of DNA to Rosalind Franklin before stealing her work? The only thing men truly guided was erasing women’s names from history. And yet, despite centuries of suppression, credit theft, and gatekeeping, women still revolutionized science and technology. Imagine what we’d accomplish without insecure little men like you trying to hold us back. By whining about "not that many," you're just proving my point - women were systematically silenced and excluded. It’s not about ability, it’s about access. Wake up, man. Biological makeup doesn’t determine intelligence. Science isn’t a boys' club, it’s a collaboration. And whether you like it or not, women have always been part of it. Now go cry in a corner while using Wi-Fi invented by a woman. 🤡 |
Antwan99:Women have been shaping science and technology for centuries. Ever heard of Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer? Or Katherine Johnson, whose calculations sent men to the moon? Or Hedy Lamarr, who helped invent the foundation of Wi-Fi? Funny how you’re using technology built by women to spread your outdated nonsense. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
Antwan99:You must be a clown. After implying that women are merely baby factories just to degrade women, you are now claiming you are simply being casual. Let’s go through a bit of history. Before World War II, many countries excluded women from formal education. Even in Western societies that did offer education, women were often barred from fields like medicine, engineering, and law. It was only after World War II that women began entering a wider range of fields, including science, engineering, and law. However, discrimination and gender bias persisted for many years. Start considering underlying factors before drawing conclusions, as I have indicated before. Creativity-based courses, such as language and arts, were historically assigned to women by society, which is why women tend to dominate and perhaps excel in these fields. Similarly, science-related and problem-solving courses were traditionally assigned to men, which is why men tend to dominate and perhaps perform better in them. While there are differences in brain structure and function between males and females, these differences do not determine individual abilities or predispositions. If girls perform better in verbal creativity and boys excel in science-related analysis and problem-solving, as you claim, it would be due to a variety of factors, including cultural, environmental, and educational influences, not simply differences in brain connectivity. If biological factors alone dictated abilities, then boys and girls wouldn’t both excel individually in high school, and there would be a clear gender-based distinction in subject performance. Even at the college level, both men and women excel in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses. |
Antwan99:This is similar to saying that cooking is actually every girl's hobby simply because most rural girls learn to cook by the age of six. You claim to be observant, yet you conclude that female children in rural areas are less interested in complex patterns without considering the underlying factors. Societal standards for girls in rural settings and established norms play a significant role in shaping their interests. Females and males are not treated equally; different standards have been set for them. Even female and male children don't simply make their own preferences; there are established standards that dictate these choices. Therefore, your observation is irrelevant. There is a distinction between societal standards and individual preferences. To illustrate my point more clearly, let's consider toys and action figures, though they are more common in urban settings. While society often assigns dolls and teddy bears as toys for girls, there are boys who also prefer playing with dolls or teddy bears. Conversely, although action figures, toy cars, and balls are predominantly marketed toward boys, many girls choose to play with them as well. |
Antwan99:Your imagination sounds like a bad sci-fi plot where villains think they’re indispensable. If we were to remove men, women wouldn’t just create new technologies and inventions; we would also create a new and perhaps better system. Many women are innovators waiting for a chance. If the world had given equal rights and opportunities to women, rather than gatekeeping opportunities and limiting us, you wouldn’t be here having these fictional ideas in your head. Women should be considered the true heroes because, despite facing constant opposition, many have pushed boundaries to achieve success, with some even creating innovations or making groundbreaking contributions. Why not equal rights and opportunities? Why did men have to gatekeep, silence, and limit us in order to gain the spotlight? |
AfeezShomorin:Maybe, the women in your circle. |
fineboynl:A lot of women get tired of it. |
RealityKings1:No go warm eba chop. |
RealityKings1:Keep your unsolicited advice to yourself. Sometimes, I simply say no. I use this indirect approach to say no when I believe it’s less stressful and more efficient. Same message, different approach. The two guys were also quite polite and friendly. I don’t have to appear unfriendly or rude to stand my ground. I wasn’t interested in the awkwardness of giving reasons or entertaining unwanted attention. |
Today, when I went to eat at an eatery, two guys approached me and asked for my number. I gave them a fake number; they had already finished eating by the time I arrived, so they stepped out after getting my number. One of them returned and said the number wasn’t going through. He asked if I had another number, and I then gave him my real number and he left. The other guy came back and asked if they could take me out but I told him that I wasn't free today. He asked where I lived, and I replied that I lived nearby. The eatery is just a few miles from my house, so I didn't take my car. He insisted that he didn't mind waiting to give me a lift, but I told him not to worry. Don’t be swayed by their persuasion; always stand your ground. Some of the ladies who were used for rituals might have even been very decent ladies, but they were portrayed as prostitutes in order to gain support for the murders from women haters, and useless and ignorant people.
|
Some of the women who were kidnapped or used for rituals were simply gullible; they were not prostitutes like they have been portrayed. If a man you just met tells you, "Don’t you trust me?" explain to him that he is still a stranger to you and that you have no reason to trust him, you can also tell him that he shouldn't trust you either because you are also still a stranger to him as well. Unless you know a guy very well, it's advisable to avoid meeting him at his house. It's better to meet guys in public spaces. If a guy insists that you come to his house, he may have hidden intentions. Is his house paradise or a museum? Also, be cautious about accepting rides, some guys conceal charms under their car seats. |
Women haters, kindly limit your hate to adults, leave kids out of it. |
