I am curious

By clear definition of gender roles, do you mean the man should support the family financially, while the woman take care of the home-front or the woman support the family financially and also take care of the home-front while the man leave whatever he has?
Nature already defined what each gender's role is, it's the pressure of modern living & present day economic realities that have distorted nature's plan...


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_role

I do not like yardstick generalisation, each situation is peculiar & should be treated as it appears to be! When 2 people get together, they should be define what role each should assume... not unrealistic expectations & not applicable to the situation opinion/advise.


However , Beyonce is most likely wealthier & a bigger brand in comparison to JayZ, she still feels the need to remind everyone constantly that she's Mrs Carter...still waiting for Jay to refer to himself as Mr Knowles!

Also when will Linda Ikeji stop getting flak for her manless state & when are we likely to hear anyone refer to Flavour as a hoe ? & I don't mean gardening tool! smiley

For you to even fly international routes according to NCAA, you must have proven years of record in the aviation industry by first flying regional, the continent, before flying international....these are the stages in the flight business....

To even imagine that the best aircraft they have is Boeing 737-500 series(classics) which has been phased out in most countries....and same aircraft would now be deplored to fly to other countries??

I wish them well
I may be wrong but I do not believe regulators won't subject these plans to the appropriate checks & procedures!!

Politics › Re: Nigeria Has A Lazy Political Class – Pat Utomi by modath(f):
Prior to election, Pat Utomi had this to say;

http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/inec-2015-elections-prof-pat-utomi-endorses-buhari/

This is a direct quote of his

Let me close with a caveat. My response is a citizen response. My prism on this is not partisan. But I am a card carrying member of the APC. The emergence of the APC is a culmination of my life’s quest as an institutionalist to see the dynamic of two balanced political parties. I was sure that without competition between parties that are equals progress would continue to elude Nigeria So I longed for and worked for the scenario we have today.

In short,no need dressing it in fine clothes, Prof is suffering from bad belletisis, grin

Making up the cry, since lord supremo Fayose said no girl is missing or you believe she doesn't cry in her heart(days she doesn't cry physically) everyday?

Another example please...

I dislike Telemundo.

But again, the husband wants to watch a significant match; wifey wants a normal series that they would probably show the highlights before they start the next episode...

She should let him watch and probably join him.

But again, I am not even a fan of TV generally.
It is not a one size fits all , each situation is peculiar, so one can't address different situations using same yardstick.. unfortunately that is the example i have of that particular situation......... There are some other yeye points like he doesn't wear native on thanksgiving sunday....

As for the woman compromising , seems you don't know the extent of delusion some pseudo-feminist are carrying around........

BTW, one of my friends Job is shift based & the man (not supporting, just stating facts) leaves dirty dishes for her, she vex ehn & i asked how he was when dem dey do boyfriend & girlfriend, she replied that they usually eat out or she does the dishes when they eat in... how come she was expecting miracle? She eventually got a non live in maid.... problem solved...

2.I went with letter of intent too but it wasn't my first visit, however I had detailed Dr & hospital correspondences

3. The cash isn't small for the St Francis, Mount Sinai, Roseland etc but it really is small for the IMD hospitals cos those places are minimum $20k uncomplicated Vd & that is what most of these CBP use (HMO) so they may not understand..

*Clapping*

You're a realist and the quintessential woman I can sit down all day with to discuss relationships, interactions between men and women, and perhaps try to understand outlook to life from a female perspective. This is what maturity is about: the ability to understand the harsh realities of life, the society, and how to exist and make the best out of that framework - rather than go about trying to build castles in the air.

I doff my hat to you.

On Topic; Real life experience...

I have a group of friends (about 5 women) who when we initially became close used to be standoffish cos they believed I wasn't sympathetic enough to their causes!!

They said I missed gender, that I should have come as a man!!! cheesy but how can I be sympathetic when someone informs me about a cold war with her hubby stemming from "He left dirty plates in the sink for me"... my advice of "wash it & KIM or throw it away & not make it an issue" seems to set them off.

One was having cable TV remote control supremacy with her husband & it was almost tearing her home apart, till I sat her down one day & asked her to get a dual view decoder because her man would only capitulate if he is only a doormat!!

She loves the usual female thingies, her husband is into the usual male, No meeting point, after she got it, she told me that the man would leave his own programme, join her in order "to spend time doing what she enjoys" which was never the case before...
Now I'm one of the "loves" of her life! cheesy

I've always been aware of life since I was a little child,Maybe cos I've always had a mind of my own, I don't get swayed by false appearances people put up!!

From childhood I've always known that to bring out the best in a man, You have to "allow him" take his role!! Nature designed women to be nurturers, going against that never ends well!!

Let's keep it short...

1. Is the Visa Cancellation with or without Prejudice?...

Politics › "Nigeria's Problem; Lack Of Will To Save Under GEJ .. Okonjo Iweala ... Cableng by modath(op): 4:20pm On Apr 14, 2016
[b][Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of finance, on Thursday said the zero political will to save under former President Goodluck Jonathan is responsible for the challenges facing the country.

Speaking on “inequality, growth and resilience,” at George Washington University, the two-time finance minister said the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) must seek means to embed savings in national constitutions devoid of political manipulations.

Okonjo-Iweala added that Nigeria was able to save $22 billion under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, which saved the country in 2008, when there was global economic meltdown.

Speaking on the Chilean saving example, Okonjo-Iweala said: “We tried it in Nigeria, we put in an oil price based fiscal rule in 2004 and it worked very well.

“We saved $22 billion because the political will to do it was there. And when the 2008 /2009 crisis came, we were able to draw on those savings precisely to issue about a 5 percent of GDP fiscal stimulus to the economy and we never had to come to the bank or the fund.

“This time around and this is the key now, you need not only need to have the instrument but you also need the political will. In my second time as a finance minister, from 2011 to 2015, we had the instrument, we had the means, we had done it before, but zero political will.

“So we were not able to save when we should have. That is why you find that Nigeria is now in the situation it is in. Along with so many other countries.”

On solving the problem of political will and political manipulations, she said: “That is the question that I ask, what do we need to do to these countries to save over a period of long accelerated growth.

“We need to devise mechanisms not just that are good technically but find a way to either embed them in the constitution or find a way to separate them from the political manipulation so that these countries can survive over time.

“To build resilience, African countries need tools, mechanisms and it is doable and we need to interrogate ourselves why we have not done it.”

She added that manufacturing was also critical to growth in Nigeria and the rest of Africa, quoting manufacturing as just 11 percent of GDP in Africa, and nine percent in Nigeria.

“I do not believe that we can be resilient, except if we can encourage manufacturing even on the goods we consume, services, entertainment industry, agriculture.

“I think these are the kinds of questions that policy makers struggle with on a daily basis and that is what we are going to answer to get resilience.

“If we don’t get these mechanisms, we politicise them, find ways to transform the base of the economy and create jobs including in manufacturing, I believe we are going to go into this looming deceleration that is being talked about.”
