French did by...
- making the rules on whats considered good culinary etiquette (aka cordon bleu, sommelier, how to serve a meal, how to hold a fork, how to serve wine etc)
- making the chart upon which good restaurants are evaluated (aka Michelin stars)
- making French culinary vocabular a norm worldwide... (aka flambé, filet, purée, sauté, bouchées, consommé, canapé, bain-marie etc)

no wonder some of the best cooking schools around the world are either French schools or in France.

tomorrow he will call himself a woman and will want to compete in women sports, lol!
MADNESS OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY...

reminds me of these 3 women below celebrating getting rid of their tittays,lol:

Abeg get out and stop trying to cleverly give yourself a soft landing.
If you cannot see where your so-called opinion crossed into personal attacks by calling those women 'fake beings with mops on their head" and so you "despise" them (all your own words), when you don't even know them, I doubt anything I say will get across to you.
I never said it wasn't your opinion or that you couldn't hold it. It is your opinion and it was degrading and dehumanising. Chest it. I don't know why you're trying so hard to backtrack or exonerate yourself here... yes, it is your opinion and it insulting? Does what you said being your own opinion makes it not be an insult?
You cannot see the insult in your own words, and all the terms you've been using to describe them?
Please, shift.

as usual with you women, playing the victim when we are not saying what you want to hear. by all means, you go and wear that yeye useless mop on your head 365 days per yr trying to pretend to be someone else...

no wonder these below women were divorced right after their honeymoon, when husband discovered their true looks for the 1st time:

the train goes from the city to Sydney airport, no need to spend money on airport shuttle, if you dont want to.

Since i grew up as a man i have lived in three different apartments ,,,my first experience was with my landlady,,that woman is so good and nice ,very friendly thou we where living in the same yard but u won't notice she's the landlady if u where not told. There was no increment for the 3 years I lived there, The same thing with my second landlord, he's a very gentleman with policy,,he don't talk too much,you hardly know when he's upset, he always talks to you in a polite way there was no increment for the
2years i lived there,,,But you see this my present landlord Omo na fire , despite that he's not living in the same yard with us,he's frustrating everybody in that yard, every year na increment, the one that happened recently, he increased the house rent from 180k to 300k just because he's renovating the house am not really pained about that but the way he comes into the yard barking, who do this who does that Omo if u no get mind u fit parkout and leave ur balance for him,,,right now he's even threatening everyone in the yard with quick notice because he thinks he needs yahoo tenants that will be paying in him millions.pls i really want know the right of a tenant and the right of the landlord.

you have the right to get out of that yeye apt, the minute your lease is up... why would you even want to stay another year there?

Magnoliaa:
You posting these pictures to me is like me telling you that this is how the average man out there looks like (see pictures below).

If you were not needlessly attacking those women, you would have gone to the Instagram pages of each of the contestants in the beauty pageant, and compared their natural faces with their makeup looks before branding them as fake and whatnot.

The pictures you posted were certainly NOT what you were talking about. You outrightly labeled using makeups and wigs as people not being themselves. Said you despise them?

Unless you do not have women friends around you, and don't know, most women do not look crazily different as the women in these videos/viral pictures.

A lot of women are actually, relatively good-looking in real life also.

And then there are makeup for different occasions. Because those events you mentioned are special, women do glam makeups to them once in a while, and go right back to rocking their natural faces/simple makeup every other day. Women do not go everyday of their lives looking extravagantly dolled up (and no, celebrity women do not represent the average woman).

The glam makeup you're criticising is not an everyday look, and because it is not an everyday look, it is acceptable for occasions. Because that's the point of occasions.

A) why does a man having an opinion is automatically seen by women as "attacking them". are we men not allowed to have an opinion on women's matter?
B) again, the majority of African woman do not value their natural black hair/skin thus why they always go out looking like someone else.
C) whether women are beautiful in real life "also" (or not) is irrelevant to the fact that they'd rather look like someone else every time they step out their house.
D) majority of sistas are the ones wearing wigs 365 days/yr that makes them look completely different in real life.
E) YES... i despise women wearing wigs, and would never value anyone (male or female) who think they have to pretend to be who they are not (wearing masks etc), every time they step out their homes. but dont despair, men are now catching up to you ladies and are wearing fake wigs also (an equal disgrace as their women counterpart!), here enjoy:

Brought tears to my eyes. 🥹
Maybe very poor parents, so big sister had to work hard to change the narrative for her younger sister. 😟

yes, what sista did was commendable but if indeed parents are still alive (regardless of their condition) saying the above would be hurtful for them to hear.

na today? now that Dangote brought the "yeye fuel from Malta" issue to the light, many are being exposed.

are they orphans for her to say:"na only you be father/mother" ?

complicit how?! any religious policy is to make you suffer and to solely enrich baba pastor. the yeye Nigerian gov is learning from religion... RELIGION HAS BEEN MAKING POOR PEOPLE SUFFER SINCE THE BEGINING OF TIME!

PulsingPurple:
Yes and yes.
Let's not forget the fact that you proposed the idea of letting the wife choose the phone she likes, so she'll be accountable for her choice if she doesn't like it on the long run.
My point was that if she ever intends to change the phone, your money will still be spent, regardless of who chose the first phone (meaning that OP should get the right advice and get the best phone, instead of leaving the choice to his wife with the idea that he has satisfied her).
Of course she's your wife, if she asks for another phone, and knows you can afford it without compromising, she has to get it to fulfill all righteousness.

my idea of her choosing the phone is if i didnt buy the 1st one that we are now replacing... but if i bought the 1st one then whatever happened to it has to be put into consideration, before i buy the replacement. so if 1st phone was lost or broken by madame (i will buy a basic phone); if the 1st one was used for couple of years and died a natural death, then i would choose a similar phone, and if the 1st phone is still intact and working but i just wanted to reward madame with a gift for all the great years of service she provided to the family, then she will get an Iphone 15 or S24.

Magnoliaa:
Absolutely. And you still continue to prove me right. There are objectively worse things in the world that demands outright condemnation and vicious criticism- sex trafficking, murder, domestic violence and commercial/capitalistic exploitation in sweatshops and the likes.Women trying to conform to Eurocentric standards, especially in a culture that caters to such, are very well on the lowest rungs of 'moral failings' in the society.

and for the above matter, we men shouldnt have a view/opinion on women who go out everyday looking like who they are NOT?

Criticize the system/practice all you want, but your dehumanisation of them totally doesn't cut it. Your coarse language was off-putting.

1st of all, if you would do a lil bit of research, you will see that i do criticize the system etc...
BWAAAAAAH.. 2nd are you for real?! you women put on yeye make up and wear yeye wigs every damn day, looking like who you are not, but when a man points to that, its dehumanizing? nah sista, whats dehumanizing is someone going out everyday pretending to be who they are not, and men out there having to deal with it. how can a man remotely know how a woman look like when she looks like a masquerade everytime she steps outside? yet when she will ultimately get married then thats when her husband will finally see the true state of her "beauty and gorimapa"

I don't know, but is there any research study linking the use of wigs to personality traits?

from the get go, i can deduct the character of these women.... they certainly have low self esteem and are insecure when it comes to their looks. there is a HUGE difference between enhancing ones looks AND using make up and wigs to look like a totally different person.

If we were to follow this your "be yourself" mantra to its logical end, we will be against every "unnatural" thing humans do like putting on clothes or flying planes. But just as there was a necessity for people wearing clothes and flying overseas, so is there a "necessity for conforming" in the social world. A person is not necessarily less of themselves for using makeup/wigs just as they are not less of themselves for riding cars or going on vacations.

what a pile of nonsense... the above is called technology aka it makes our lives easier/better... and if you believe that wearing make up and wigs makes "your" life better then so be it. but dont come here trying to feed us some nonsense that wearing make up and wigs ALL DAY EVERYDAY as soon as you step out of your house is a life necessity. thats a sign of low self esteem and insecurity. you are so brainwashed by the media that you believe that your beautiful natural black skin and/or beautiful natural black hair aint pretty enough to the world, so you decide to hide it (with make up and wigs) in order to conform with the popular yeye standard of beauty out there. imagine an African woman in a beauty pageant trying to look like a white woman in order to feel beautiful...kai!

A kind person will still be a kind person with or without makeup, but you're already judging and flinging people into one big group just because they use "artificial add-ons."

imagine what you are saying...? every day you step out of your house you wear make up and wigs... everyday you step out your house you look like someone else, but you would expect a man to evaluate who you are solely with your character? your character is one thing and doing this will automatically show very low self esteem and insecurity... but furthermore a woman is not just character she is character+beauty+life foundation+state of mind etc. you wouldnt date an obese guy that looks like king kong just because he had great character would you?

Can these things be an indication of a self-esteem issue (not liking themselves enough?) Yes. Or even a structural issue (beauty expectations for women, colonialism for black people)? Yes. But that is not the case for everyone.

if you go out in Africa in places of socializing or at an event (bday/wedding/party/club) 90% of the women there would be wearing make up and wigs, and i am being generous. i would certainly understand a person wearing make up to "enhance" her natural looks, but when you put on make up that makes you look like a totally different person, then thats when (i believe) there is a huge problem. the below is what i am talking about:

Truth social was a great failure and i can foresee that this yeye crypto will also just be a way for Trump to enrich himself a lil more...

pepper soup meat to either Africans or Asians....

abeg OP put "GRAPHIC" in your post.... why make them pose with an innocent person's body like that? the family of the dead boy will see these pictures too. have some little sympathy.

but really, what kind of madness is this?!? all these brainwashed olodos who think that money ritual is real!!!

there is only ONE thing you can do.... get back on your feet, dust yourself up and move on with your life.

PulsingPurple:
As long as your money bought the first phone, if it isn't good, your money will still buy the replacement. 😅
Speaking from experience...

speaking from experience...if you bought the 1st phone, then that phone should be cherished like a diamond, even if they made 10 better phones after that. if it was broken along the way or lost along the way then YOU choose a replacement phone for her (not her).

1Sharon:
One day we'll be free

black women are already free...what the media is making you believe that its "ugly", is very beautiful. women rocking their natural black hair aint ugly.

AngelicBeing:
l will ask the organizers to sue you for 7 billion dollars for posting this comment, haha 🤣

beauty pageant should only accept natural women... how can you enter a beauty pageant while wearing a mask and some fake mop on your head? they've completely lost the essence of what beauty pageantry is. thus why now a man could enter and win against women (by simply putting on a wig, fake tittays, padded underwear and face mask)

anyway, i am biased in this issue because i believe any woman wearing a wig is ugly. lol!

MatrixCircle:
Seriously a fundamental brainwash. Some of them that use to come to office with this fake hairs one sees how stupid there appear among fellow whites and Asians , some realised and started using natural African hair with a little Afriican style and it look nice and respected.

Imagine a black African with long attachments working with a white lady with natural long hair.
Definitely the black lady will have no confidence at work. Its only in Africa they carry all these nonsense about. Here it looks stupid.

sadly, its a generational curse.... many become bald because of these wigs but will hang on to wearing them, as if their lives depended on it.

Magnoliaa:
You're still sounding angry and deeply bitter.
Relax.

as usual with women, a man cannot give his opinion about women without being upset/bitter. i do not understand fake women who wear a mask on their face and fake hair on their head trying to look like who they are not. i despise people out there who go around acting all fly, pretending to be who they are not (whether male or female). whats wrong with being yourselves? whats so angry/bitter about such a simple question? are you now claiming that all men should like/understand women who go out pretending to be somebody they are not?!

DaddyCoool:
How can you know the true nature of woman or man who is in his/her best behavior to get you to marry them??

i already answered that question... TIME and plenty of INTERACTIONS will bring the natural character of most people. people can only fake who they are for so long until their true self comes out naturally.

People grow to love one another! In the process of having and raising children and solving mutual problems organic love develops.
Our mothers were NOT subjugated as you've been saying. In many, many cases they were the dominant partners!

so every married person grows to love their partners through raising children and solving mutual problems, abi?!

Our well-adjusted generations come from those marriages you describe as no good,and we are more well-adjusted than drug-addled children of 'I love you" Western marriages.

they are well adjusted in your own mind... the abuse our forefathers put upon our mothers; the way our mothers were treated as slaved; the abuse you received as a child (supposedly as punishment); the NO WAY OUT that our mothers endured in marriage; the NO WAY OUT that our mothers endured if they remotely thought of divorcing; the hopelessness and/or voiceless feeling of our mothers; yes on paper it feels like it was great times but the majority of these women were slaves to their conditions and we as children were properly ABUSED!

You totally missed what I said about analogy. I mean, saying a marriage cannot last without initial love (which is ideal), is like saying a person will die without cell phone (which is ideal)

many people today get married without love just like many people today dont have a cellphone... whats your point?
just because you see many women today staying married to their yeye abusive/cheating husband (out of desperation to be call "mrs" at any cost) doesnt mean they are happily married. same with women who marry for money/status or to fit with the Joneses. many gay men today get married to please their family and pretend they are straight, same with men who marry yeye donkey women just because she is a good cook/cleaner/homemaker with a clean womb.

Magnoliaa:
Such angry, salty tears man.
Nawa o. Kilode?

i despise lost black women with fake hair on their head... trying to look white. its not only disgusting, its makes them feel so cheap, no natural woman in sight in that pic. whats wrong with natural black beauty? cant they win from being natural?

candygist:
You are a sadist. Nothing can ever look good to you. Always finding issues in everything.
Oya create something that solves human problem, you can't.

OLODO... if you read what i wrote carefully then WOMEN WEARING THEIR NATURAL BLACK HAIR is the simple solution to this issue.

MatrixCircle:
My problem is all these artificial fake hairs they are all carrying. Why not go natural.
You want to contest against onyibo while you are faking thier hair

At the office I work overseas, all the black ladies wearing wicks , many times onyibo and asian ladies dey look the hairs and go dey laf. Many decided to go natural Afro and sometimes afro then blund it. It started making sense and beautiful.

thats because black women have been brainwashed to believe that they are only beautiful when they look like white women.... when you see how much these women are spending on products to make them look "whiter" you understand that something is obviously wrong somewhere...

- fake hair to look white
- fake foundation to look whiter
- fake make up that will make your nose look pointy (like white people)
- fake contacts that will make you look as if you had blue/green eyes (even though some rare Africans have blue/green eyes)

DaddyCoool:
Even more fallacies. First of all here's where you said true nature:
OR you marry someone because yu are attracted to his money/wealth (and not who he truly is).

again, i have never said the word true nature.... i said who someone truly is. thats a big difference. but to take up on what you therefore asked :" is it possible to ascertain true nature of a person?" then i will answer:"OF COURSE IT IS, it just takes time and interactions. sadly, as i said earlier, the majority of the people who get married today are doing so for the wrong reason thus why they cant figure out who their spouse truly is.... and if it changes after marriage then who cares? when they change then YOU change with it too.... and if you have to divorce them because you cant accept his/her changes, then so be it.

Here's your thesis verbatim (which has been proven wrong):

proven wrong by whom? you? or proven wrong by what was done in the past?

if a person doesnt love you (or you dont love them), you shoulddnt even consider them a serious BF/GF, let alone marrying them. nobody should ever go ahead of marrying someone who either A) doesnt love them or B) who they dont love. thats just a recipe for disaster. Such a marriage cannot last.

yes thats my stand on the issue that hasnt been proven wrong by anyone... all you people that believe that because some women endured their "yeye useless abusive and failed" marriages, is a right way to be married, are certainly living in the past (like you want us all to do), and sadly, the past is the past.

Your analogies and examples are non sequitous and disjointed. It is one thing to say that cell phones are good (nobody denies that), but quite another to say that people who don't use cell phones will die.

FAILED ANALOGY!!!
what i said exactly IS... just because people in the past could live a great life without cellphones and internet, does NOT mean we should do the same today.... of course nobody will die if they dont have a cellphone or internet today, but they will be living IN THE PAST (like you want us all to do today)!

Another thing, what exactly is the purpose of marriage? Our well-adjusted generations came from those marriages you describe as no good, While dysfunctional Western families came from those 'I love you" marriages.Our forefathers' marriages were quite fulfilling, lasted a lifetime and produced healthy well-adjusted children. But you're stuck on a system that resulted in broken homes and dysfunctional families and individuals!

A) western marriages of the past are exactly the same as african marriages. all the marriage rites upon which African are getting married today (aka religious marriages) have been brought to you by these same western ideologies
B) our generation is well adjusted to the PRESENT, not the past... thus why many are divorcing today (rather than stay married at any cost, like in the past)
C) western/African marriages of the past were also quite fulfilling... so long as women were used as tools rather than an equal spouse; so long as domestic/physical/emotional abuse was accepted as the norm; so long as men/women knew their place in marriage; so long as people would rather die in silence instead of accepting infidelity; so long people remained married for eternity (because their religion forbad divorces)
D) btw there was nothing "right" when our forefathers were physically/emotionally abusing our mothers of the past; there was nothing "right" when children were raised to believe that women could be treated that way and these same children continued the vicious circle;
there was nothing "right" when mother couldnt leave their marriages because they had no education and even if they did have one, nobody would hire them anyway;

the sad part of it all is that you dont even understand what i am saying... i am talking about people who get married together because they truly care for one another and want to spend the rest of their natural life together and raise a family under these same conditions (there shouldnt be any other reason for people to get married TODAY), and certainly not driven by some yeye outside forces who are not gonna hold your marriage's hand (aka religion/family/society/friends). many people in the past got married for convenience, not because of the love they had for their partners, and as much as it was cool, one of the spouse (if not both) were suffering in that marriage by being married to someone they didnt care about nor loved (no wonder so many children were not raised properly). but then again, women back then were a simple tool to expand the family, and certainly not someone you needed to care about nor love. a wife in the past was just a walking womb that you could abuse/beat or treat like a slave in return for a warm family home because women couldnt even get good job and take care of their own selves so they were slaves to their husband after marriage... so again, i understand why people in the past got married and stayed married (even when they were not happy together), but today thats not only UNREALISTIC, thats damn right foolish and CRIMINAL (unless of course you solely do so because of the religious/family/social/peer pressures i talked about)

they needed something to enslave/rape/defraud these gullible sheep, thus why they told them to obey their white religious masters on earth for a reward of "heaven" after death.

ok sista... good luck in your search.

the fact that you have mostly 3 meals per day (apart from a few times with air/free/water) is good... some people out there can only afford 1 square meal per day
