GeneralPula: From this chat, seems you guys are negotiating for a short time..
How can you pay 20k for short time? Highest to pay for a night with scope is 15k - Bj or no Bj, how much more short time..
But shaa, from the way you’re chatting with the girl, seems you’re still new to dealing with HK girls. You can see the girl is even telling you’re talking too much! You should learn with time sha.. The guy doesn’t seem normal; he is bragging about "bad boy" vibes on top hookup lady. What he had was simply a transactional deal; he should have just specified that he met a hookup lady. From the way he was bragging, one might initially think he met a decent Nigerian lady and took advantage of her. Nigerian women are among the most respectable and decent in the world. These jobless guys roaming online just choose to portray us in a negative light. The real men are not insecure, they often come online just to catch cruise; you would never find them making foolish remarks. As if the 0.000001% of women these guys encounter in their unremarkable environment represents all Nigerian women! Every country has different categories of women, including hookup ladies. |

Olokobintin: A virgin? Who still care about that in this generation. Me that I don't care if the woman that I will marry today kpansh another man a day before our marriage.
You people still hold onto some unimportant things. Why are men so scared about women having fun? Why are you so worried about another person thing? If she choose to give you when it is sealed, fine. But if she choose to give you when it is loose, then it is fine again.
If you choose to love her body, brain and fine face, then love what she present to you in between her legs.
We have heard of stories of armed robbers that become pastors and prostitutes that become deaconess. If these people can changed to better people, so why can't a woman that just had fun in her younger years to become a good wife.
Bro, stop worrying. |

What you have listed here are just myths. There are many virgins who even marry at the age of thirty-five and older and do not experience any health complications.
Why do you even place so much emphasis on virginity? It takes just a few minutes for virginity to be lost, and in less than a year, it becomes a thing of the past. What you would be left with is your wife's personality. Virginity does not even indicate good character; it merely suggests that the lady is strong-willed.
Just marry a woman with whom you are compatible, someone who understands you and whom you understand as well. |

Magnificenttop: Women are God's gifts and real men defend them, the only issue is where are real women. If you're one of the good women, speak for yourself alone, you cannot speak for all. No one describing women as s-object but the way many women intentionally chose to portray themselves. Moreover the reply was in response to the person who was blaming writers of the Bible for the place of women in our world. Whose fault is many women are on tiktok twerking while men are busy inventing? Whose fault is majority of leaders worldwide are men? Whose fault is this forum is being owned by a man and not a woman? Should we blame John the Baptist for that? It's just reality naturally dishing out to all according to what is deserved or else some people who chose to be dissatisfied with their natural position/role based on their gender. Male rituals and fraudsters are often portrayed online; however, we do not judge men based on these representations or describe them as wicked and irresponsible. Instead, we recognize that there are responsible men out there as well. Whose fault is it that some men are involved in rituals? Whose fault is it that several young men engage in scams? Whose fault is it that just like men, women are also serving as presidents and leaders? Whose fault is it that there are websites and forums owned by women as well? Should we blame Methuselah for that? It is just reality naturally dishing out to all what is deserved, which is one reason feminism exists. Some women have chosen to speak up when they feel dissatisfied, uncomfortable, or unhappy with the cultural standards that have been established. Queen Elizabeth II ruled England for 70 years before her demise. Many countries have had female presidents, and women are currently serving as head of governments and presidents in some nations. Bangladesh Prime Minister (Head of Government) 2009 - present Barbados President 2021- present Denmark Prime Minister (Head of Government) 2019- present Estonia Prime Minister (Head of Government) 2021- present Georgia President 2018 - present Greece President 2020 - present Honduras President 2022 - present Iceland (most peaceful country in the world) Prime Minister 2024 - present India President 2022 - present Italy Prime Minister (Head of Government) 2022 - present Latvia Prime Minister (Head of Government) 2023 - present Lithuania Prime Minister (Head of Government) 2020 - present Moldova President 2020 - present Namibia Prime Minister (Head of Government) 2015 - present Peru Present 2022 - present Samoa Prime Minister (Head of Government) 2021 - present Slovenia President 2022 - present Taiwan President 2016 - present Tanzania President 2021 - present Togo Prime Minister (Head of Government) 2020 - present Trinidad and Tobago President 2023 - present |

Magnificenttop: Redpile? I don't even know what that means. I, already made peace with both pros and cons of being male but feminism, appears to be a cope-mechanism exhibited during lamentation by those confused and frustrated at why they can't eat their cake and still have it. As for your uploaded jpg, I think your fellow confused klowns need it more - those who daily rely on men, who intentionally wear skimpy skirts but forcefully pull it down while being angry at why it's so short, those who portray themselves as s-objects but angry when seen as such. What difference would that make though, when you the uploader itself lives in a house made by men, using a gadget by men, on a forum owned by a man, still confused and ranting why things are what they are. Keep your cope-mechanisms handy because nothing is gon change. Next time, ensure that you conduct thorough research before making comments like this. There are many successful women who have struggled to achieve their success. Stop describing women as sex objects who depend on men for survival. Anyway, I don't blame you; you probably hold these views because of the circle you belong to or the dating environment you are part of. Have you ever seen a successful man with good values make misogynistic posts or comments? Even the owner of this forum does not appear to harbour misogynistic or hateful attitudes toward women. Real men are primarily concerned about the comfort, satisfaction, and happiness of both themselves and their partners. Many average Nigerian men are insecure, leading them to assert authority by controlling their partners and making unnecessary decisions that disregard their partners' comfort, satisfaction and happiness. I know accomplished married women who are going through a lot in their marriages. A woman was abused by her husband over a trivial issue to the point that she suffered a miscarriage. She prepares breakfast each morning before leaving for work, but she often makes dinner late because she arrives home late due to her job. Her husband was not satisfied with this; he insisted that she quit her job to cater to him, claiming that he cannot be married and live like a bachelor. They had been married for barely a year, I advised her to try to make things work. I suggested that she prepare meals on weekends or hire someone to help her with meal preparation and store the food in the freezer so her husband could microwave it and eat when he wanted. I thought this would resolve the issue, but it did not. Her husband believes she should be home to serve him dinner every day. The constant arguments escalated to beating one day, ultimately leading to her miscarriage. In fact, real men defend women against misogynistic behaviours or attacks.

GreatAchiever1: You have deviated from the topic of discussion to enter talk on FirstBorn. SMH. Well, at least I have passed my message across. With this mindset of yours, no Christian man that knows his bible to some certain good extent will ever accommodate these false feminist ideologies which has no place in true biblical Christianity. Mr. Man, your perspective is confusing. On what principle did you arrive at the idea that, since God created man first, man is the ruler, even though God did not explicitly state that? Simply stop using your biased mind to interpret the Bible, so you won't feel frustrated whenever you encounter the truth. If I wanted to also be biased and illogical, I could claim that God prefers the second human being, which is woman, to the first human being, which is man, because "firsts" are often associated with bad luck and failure. Even the first king, Saul, was a failure. David, the second king, is considered God's favourite. Even a layperson can grasp my perspective. Your perspective is simply cultural; it is not based on actual Biblical principles. |
Romance › Re: Nigerian women brings more to the table than Nigerian men by Merry100(op): 8:03am On Jan 26, 2025 |
GreatAchiever1: The first man, Adam, was created before his wife, Eve. Adam was tasked with working and keeping the garden, while Eve was created as his helper (Genesis 2:15, 18). Humanity was named after Adam, not Eve (Genesis 5:1-2). Although Eve sinned first and gave Adam the fruit, God addressed Adam first, asking, “Where are you?” (The word “you” in Hebrew is singular) (Genesis 3:9). Adam had authority over his wife, and as such, God held him accountable for her sin. Moreover, Adam was held accountable for the sin of the entire human race.
The Hebrew word ezer does not mean “strength”; it means “helper.” To change its meaning to fit an ideology distorts the biblical text. A woman is not the strength of a man, though she is the crown of her husband (and I would say creation, more reason why she is vulnerable to being deceived, as most women already are under the guise of feminist philosophy and why it's a man's duty to protect and lead his wife). Women are undoubtedly special, but as helpers, their role is to support their husbands. Misrepresenting biblical teaching to fit a modern ideology demonstrates rebellion against God’s Word, aligning with feminist narratives. A Christian woman should stand alongside her husband as his helper, as ordained by Scripture.
Regarding culture, our current culture, including many churches, has been deeply feminized. Many churches now have ordained women pastors and women elders, delegating the masculine, authoritative task of preaching and teaching God’s Word to women. Consequently, men have become weak and passive, while women have become loud and contentious, rather than sweet, quiet, and gentle. Historically, biblical culture and even society up to like late 1800s or early 1900s was patriarchal. Men led in the home, church, and government. During that time, issues like divorce, crime, depression, and promiscuity were far less prevalent than they are today. The rise of these issues correlates with the erosion of traditional roles. There is no equality in roles and responsibilities between men and women; the relationship is hierarchical. Where equality in roles exists, it results in disorder, dysfunction, and ultimately destruction.
Now, let’s examine Genesis 3:16.
There are three interpretations of God’s pronouncement in Genesis 3:16:
1. Reaffirmation of the Creational Hierarchy: This view sees Genesis 3:16 as reinforcing the marital hierarchy as a blessing. The wife’s desire for her husband is interpreted as devotion, and the husband’s rule over her is seen as positive leadership. This aligns with the preceding clause about childbirth (“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing”). Despite the pain, the woman remains devoted to her husband and has children with him. However, this interpretation struggles with the context of judgment in Genesis 3:16, as it’s unclear why the man’s rule is mentioned positively when the passage deals with judgment. One explanation is that the woman’s transgression (Genesis 3:1-6) led to a “redirection” of her role, calling her back to her creation-ordained subordination to man.
2. Perversion of the Creational Hierarchy: This view sees Genesis 3:16 as describing the distortion of roles due to sin. There are two possibilities:
Both the wife’s desire to usurp her husband’s authority and the husband’s abusive rule are viewed negatively.
The wife’s devotion to her husband is positive, but the husband’s rule becomes abusive.
This interpretation is historically popular. John Calvin, for instance, described the wife’s subjection as previously liberal and gentle but now distorted into servitude. The ESV bible translation supports this view: “Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.” The NET Bible goes further: “You will want to control your husband, but he will dominate you.”
3. Wife’s Negative Actions, Husband’s Positive Rule: This view interprets the wife’s desire as an attempt to usurp her husband’s authority, while the husband’s rule is a godly exercise of leadership to counteract this rebellion. This interpretation leans heavily on the parallel in Genesis 4:7 and is considered a more modern perspective and was the first interpretation I came accustomed to when I first learnt what Genesis 3:16 means.
Ultimately, the interpretation of Genesis 3:16 does not significantly alter the understanding of marital hierarchy and gender roles, as the creation account already establishes hierarchy before the fall. Regardless of the view adopted, it remains clear that God placed the husband in authority over his wife and that sin introduced corruption into this relationship. However, egalitarians and feminists reject this creational hierarchy and attempt to root male headship solely in the fall. They often emphasize a version of View 2 that portrays the husband’s rule as introduced by God’s judgment on Eve. This perspective reflects a broader agenda to challenge traditional, biblically ordained gender roles and which ought not to be so.
(Inspired by Masculine Christianity). Mr man, God is not limited by our culture. Culture exists to enable fairness among us as human beings. If you read the Bible carefully, from Genesis to Revelation, you will realize that God does not operate on the principle of "this one came first" or "I gave this one the instruction first." He favours whomever He chooses. In fact, God rarely favours firstborns; He often skips them in favour of their younger siblings. How many firstborns became kings or reputable individuals in the Bible? David, Joseph, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Solomon, and many others were not firstborns. From Genesis to Revelation, firstborns were often associated with misfortune. Cain's offering was rejected by God, while Abel's was accepted. God hated Esau and loved Jacob. Firstborns are often overlooked. Even in the New Testament, Jesus chose to skip James, the elder brother of John, who became His beloved disciple, and He overlooked Andrew, the elder brother of Peter, who ultimately became the rock. Go and read your Bible carefully from Genesis to Revelation and make your own discoveries; I can't keep providing you with free insights. 🤣🤣🤣 |

GreatAchiever1: You are really trying hard to bring up text that doesn't answer the question that I asked, how does one flesh correlate with what I just asked. But let me refute this and clearly explains how the one flesh relationship between the husband and the wife ought to be. The bible clearly defines how the relationship of the one flesh ought to be in Ephesians 5:22-33; Colossians 3:18,19; 1 Peter 3:1-7.
God named Adam, would you say it was a recognition of their mutual dependence? parents named their children, would you say it's a recognition of their dependence? humans name their pet animals (Adam did likewise also) would you say it's a recognition of their mutual dependence?
Mutual Respect and love for one another is essential in marital relationship and that tone on how to go about it according to the specific gender in the relationship has been set by Him who creates the marital institution. It's hierarchical and not equal balance of shared authority but the Husband having full and total authority over his wife as well as the household. 🤣🤣🤣So, the same God who clearly stated that He has given both male and female dominion over animals neglect to mention that man is the ruler over woman? Set aside your assumptions and guesses, explain what God meant when He directly said to woman "He shall rule over thee." 🤣🤣🤣 What I have been sharing is just even a glimpse of my discoveries. I have made several findings that challenge the misconceptions that have been circulating for centuries and rule out those Bible verses indicating submission. 🤣🤣🤣 |

Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.Your perspective seems to be stating that God is forgetful.According to your perspective, God just neglected to mention it explicitly, He actually designated man as the ruler over woman from the beginning but why did God say "he shall rule over thee" while pronouncing the consequences for Eve's actions, despite already designating man as a ruler over woman. Do you mean God forgot that man was already ruling over woman? 🤣🤣🤣 Mr man, try to be logical. Adam and Eve didn't share our cultural perspective. Culture, which was created much later perhaps created the notion that naming someone gives you authority over the person. At the time of creation, there were no established family structures, societal hierarchies, or precedents for naming as a means of authority. Adam and Eve were the very first humans created by God, unlike subsequent generations that arise within established societal norms, Adam and Eve existed in a primal state, free from cultural traditions. Adam and Eve were a unique and direct act of divine creation. Both were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). This common divine imprint suggests an inherent equality between them. Both shared equal worth and dignity, indicating that their relationship reflect equality rather than a hierarchy. Adam and Eve were both giving dominion over the animals and tasked with stewarding the garden, which is an indicative of their collaborative role. A woman is a "helper". In the original Hebrew, the term "ezer" (helper) refers to strength and support, not slavery or subservience. 🤣🤣🤣 Genesis 1:26-27 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. |

When God came into the Garden of Eden, who did he ask the first question to? Who did he assign all the work to? If you give birth to kids in the house, the first child takes responsibility of his younger one especially when you step out, abi you go call the last child give am responsibility? Make una stop all this una pattern of trying to twist the Holy Bible to fit you people's agenda. Btw, who even talks of feminism in 2025? At the time God assigned tasks to Adam, He did not plan to create another human being. He created another human being because man was lonely and found it difficult to exist without a friend or partner. What man needed was a partner, not a maid, servant, slave, or subordinate. Everything Adam needed was already within his reach; he did not have to till the ground for food at that time. God did not provide any indication or instruction that man is the ruler. He created another human being just like man and did not assign a lesser status or ability to this second human being. The only primary difference between a man and a woman lies in their reproductive organs, which needs each other to function. Yet, you are assuming that man is the ruler. Dey play. |

GreatAchiever1: Have you even read what came about that "curse" in Gen 3:16. If man and woman are equal, then why do they have different roles with woman created to be helper for a man given that man was not created for woman but woman for man. Then answer this question pre fall, if Adam never had authority over Eve as you claimed pre-fall. 1. Why was Adam created before Eve? 2. Why did Adam have a protective role over Eve in the garden. 3. Why did Adam had a teaching role to Eve in the garden. 4. Why did Adam name Eve if Eve didn't belong to him to rule and have authority over her? 5. Why did God went to Adam first after both he and Eve sinned even though Eve sinned first. 6. Why did God rebuke Adam for listening to Eve.
Man having authority over woman was entirely the plan of God before the fall. The hierarchy has always been God->Man->Woman->Children before and after the fall.
The concept of a husband's authority and a wife's submission was not introduced as a consequence of the fall, as some like you want to interpret Genesis 3:16. Instead, this hierarchical relationship was part of God's original created order but became distorted by the fall. Like all aspects of creation, the relationship between husband and wife is now vulnerable to corruption due to sin. However, the hierarchy between the sexes originates from creation, not the fall, and is intended to be embraced as part of God's good design, not rejected. Genesis 2:24-25 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Adam naming Eve can be seen as a recognition of their mutual dependence. Since Adam and Eve did not have earthly parents, God ultimately represents their parent. You won't find any instance in the Bible where God intervened in their relationship. They shared the same authority, and their relationship was based on mutual respect for one another. Eve had access to the same things as Adam and both were naked, there is nothing that signifies Adam had authority over Eve. |

If you respected personal convictions, you might not gave said the following "Most of the aspects of Nigerian marriage culture that are taught and embraced in Churches do not align with Biblical principles", which shows you have no respect for false personal convictions, and which I admire in you. Brother Bernard, you mentioned that you have a brain; try to make use of it more often. Personal conviction refers to a deeply held belief or opinion that is unique to an individual. The Bible is the guide; if Christianity is not practiced in the way it should be, it must be questioned. My belief is in God and His words, not in Nigerian pastors or unnecessary doctrines. Christianity is not practiced only in Nigeria, and it did not start in Nigeria. |

I don't know or care if God is in favour of feminism. What I do know is if not for the female, men would still be apes at best.

At times, rather than standing up for others, it's better to stoop down to their level in order to help them. I don't think you have ever interacted with overly religious women; they worship their pastors preachings. They often validate and embrace their suffering, believing that they are doing the will of God. It doesn't matter to them if it could lead to their death, It is only the right information that can set them free. |

GreatAchiever1: Have you even read what came about that "curse" in Gen 3:16. If man and woman are equal, then why do they have different roles with woman created to be helper for a man given that man was not created for woman but woman for man. Then answer this question pre fall, if Adam never had authority over Eve as you claimed pre-fall. 1. Why was Adam created before Eve? 2. Why did Adam have a protective role over Eve in the garden. 3. Why did Adam had a teaching role to Eve in the garden. 4. Why did Adam name Eve if Eve didn't belong to him to rule and have authority over her? 5. Why did God went to Adam first after both he and Eve sinned even though Eve sinned first. 6. Why did God rebuke Adam for listening to Eve.
Man having authority over woman was entirely the plan of God before the fall. The hierarchy has always been God->Man->Woman->Children before and after the fall.
The concept of a husband's authority and a wife's submission was not introduced as a consequence of the fall, as some like you want to interpret Genesis 3:16. Instead, this hierarchical relationship was part of God's original created order but became distorted by the fall. Like all aspects of creation, the relationship between husband and wife is now vulnerable to corruption due to sin. However, the hierarchy between the sexes originates from creation, not the fall, and is intended to be embraced as part of God's good design, not rejected. 1+1= Donut |

I watched a woman suffer and ultimately die from ignorance, and I wish I had known better then.
People need the right information; several women have died due to ignorance and more will continue to die if the right information is not made available.
Although I have the funds and invested resources, I feel that there is a special force limiting my ability to share my discoveries on various media channels. |

budaatum: That's what a man will write to program women into submission. Smart women know men come from between their thighs and must suck breast to develop a brain or they will surely die.
One quote from one book does not prove anything to those who can use their own heart and soul and mind and brain in their own head to seek for knowledge and understanding. The best way to find a solution to a problem is to understand its actual cause. The answer serves as a foundation that leads to discoveries supporting the idea that God is in favour of feminism. |

budaatum: Those who read only one book die of ignorance! So I will suggest you expand your reading.
The only reason the Bible puts authority in men over women is because pigs wrote it to deceive women who actually do have authority over men.
Think of it like reprogramming, or the introduction of an alternative reality, since it is initially written that "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them".
But I guess we haven't yet evolved to being able to critically read what we read, and just read into it what we've been told to believe before we actually read it ourselves, or how else would a person with eyes claim Adam created from mud is in God's image. The curse alone proves that man and woman were created equal from the beginning. Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.Man having authority over woman was not the actual plan of God, it was simply a curse. |

budaatum: Are you saying there are biblical verses in support of feminism? If so, please share.
Personally, if educated woman Mary had not educated her son Jesus, he would have spent his life nailing wood. And if woman Eve had not used her senses to test for herself if knowledge killed, Adam would have remained a naked ignorant slave in Eden. First, read through the Bible to understand why men have authority over women. While the answer is not directly related to my main discoveries, it will expand your understanding of this subject. I asked you to read the Bible because the true answer is not the one commonly known to everyone. |
