So bad.
The roommates sef no try. The female gender and their wahala.
Why shouting ole after the mum paid for it, hope they will live with the guilt of leading her into depression which eventually led to her death.


The worst part of it all is that the real culprit might also be among the people accusing her.


Note: I'm not justifying the act of sucide
You know what the male gender do ?

RomanceRe: Ladies, When Will You Learn That Already Made Men Will Never Respect You? by neocortex:
TrumporIdie:
Our ladies were made with unusual materials, they never learn. Research and experience has shown that women who go after already made men, already married men, divorced men just because he has money always pay the bitter price for their greed.
Please what research are you talking about ?
Do you think Nairalanders are dumb to take your word for it ?

And who told you that being broke equals genuine love ?
Are there no cases of men who become rich and decide to
upgrade by dumping their struggle-together lover ?

Go to igando customary court and inquire about the divorce cases,
you will be shocked to learn that poor men are as likely to treat
their wive badly as rich men.

I knew the opemititi was a frame up , to make people sympathize with mercy .

Opemi should just cut off ties from mercy .
What a slander , all to save face.
Believing either of the story is a wrong approach,
mercy never accused anyone of crashing her her
marriage but you already jump into conclusion
that she did just because some online bloggers
says so for your own personal reasons.

This isn't a whistle-blowing case gone wrong as the title suggests,

he should have contacted efcc with evidence instead of publishing

FamilyRe: When Your Wife Is Richer Than You by neocortex: 4:39pm On Apr 28, 2017
Tallesty1:
The same long story.

Here you are, a lady that haven't met up 5% of Nigeria men and you're already ranting that 99% Nigeria men are insecure bla bla...
Well, she is wrong in making up unfounded statistics to back up her point but some
set of men who accuses women of bringing nothing to the table will still be the one
to cry foul if the wife becomes wealthier.



I don't know where this mentality is from but I have this to say about it.
Nigeria men are not scared of successful women rather they are scared of control freaks.
Here you commit the same offence as the lady you quoted, how many Nigerian men do you know
to make such a baseless generalisation.


The type of woman that only feels good about herself if she makes you feel less than her.
This trait is primarily a male one as you hardly find women who whine about not being in charge of
their home.


These are the women that my brothers are scared of. It is called being careful and not insecurity.
Please speak for yourself as you are not a standard of behaviour for all men.

And for your information, it isn't just Nigeria men, if a host of studies are to be believed, marrying these women(career women) is asking for trouble.
You are right insecure and possessive men are found everywhere in the world.


If they quit their jobs and stay home with the kids, they will be unhappy ( Journal of Marriage and Family, 2003).
You should have included the full reference here so that others can check. Mind you when a large segment
of women are working(60% are part of the workforce in the US), is it any surprise that those who are not
are less happier ?
It is called peer pressure and has nothing to do with gender but humans in general.


They will be unhappy if they make more money than you do ( Social Forces, 2006).
Since women wants control over everything as you claimed don't you think they should be ecstatic
that they make more money ?


You will be unhappy if they make more money than you do ( Journal of Marriage and Family, 2001).
You will be more likely to fall ill ( American Journal of Sociology).
It is normal for men who feel they are losing control of their home to feel unhappy.


Even your house will be dirtier ( Institute for Social Research).
Again context matters, please provide the full reference. But will you be surprised
that a full time housewife care more for her surroundings ?


Have you seen that it just isn't a Nigeria thing?
Of course it is not, but that doesn't make it right either.


Now can we the stats to back your ridiculous 99.9$ nonsense?
Of course her stat has no factual basis.


The same studies have found that professional women are more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat, less likely to have children, and, if they do have kids, they are more likely to be unhappy about it.
Sorry to burst your bubble you just picked out a statement that support your
position and excluding the context, here is a part of the forbes article I presume you
referenced:

forbes: highly educated people are more likely to have had extra-marital sex," and "individuals who earn more than $30,000 a year are more likely to cheat."
So, if career women are bad marriage bets, so are career men.

And let me leave you with this rebuttal to your reference here:
Forbes' definition of a career woman is extraordinarily broad, including any woman who has a college education, works 35 hours a week, and makes more than $30,000. So, if you define non-career women as all the "undereducated" who work part-time and make less than $30K, it becomes painfully obvious why female careerists are more likely to divorce than non-careerists: They can better afford to get out of an unhappy marriage than their sisters.
Men are not scared of women with wealth, they're simply not ready for their endless troubles.

Nobody will willingly pierce his body with many sorrows.
At the bold, speak for yourself.

Now lemme bring it down to Nigeria women.

This is what happens when a guy asks for the hand of a rich girl in marriage.
Each member of the family will buy one Laser-Sharp Binoculars that can pierce through his flesh and bones and zoom the guy's soul to search his spirit to know if he's after the woman's wealth.

Even when the Binoculars reads negative, they still won't believe it, they will become very envious and are likely to disrespect the guy.

The guy have alota work to do to prove his not after their sister's money before they can respect him.....
Again, you paint a picture of all richer women based on a subjective observation.

When wealth disparity is obvious, this behaviour may be exhibited by the family whether in a man or woman
as people generally tend to marry within their social group and those who don't may be resisted by their in-laws.
Then I ask if someone isn't welcome in a family , why try to prove himself when he can just walk away ?


The mama will be like, "My daughter, that guy is after your money. He's not good for you, wait my dear, when a good guy comes I will tell you".

Who wants that?
The last time I checked women gets tagged as gold-diggers more often than men for obvious reasons.


Finally, these women, especially those working in an office or something of that nature do not know that there are things one needs to succeed in business and work.

These things are direct opposite of what we need to have successful marriage and most of these successful women do not know where to cut the line.

To succeed in business, you have to be stubborn, in control etc. Bring these things into your marriage and you are in trouble.
Some successful women would rather blow the house up and everything in it than compromise or take personal responsibility.



Who Wants This?
An easy way to solve this problem is to marry an housewife and maybe get a written agreement
that she will never go into business so that your ego won't be bruised.


Women Naturally want to exert control over everything. They enjoy to make those around them feel inadequate, insecure, nervous, angry, anxious and physically sick.
This is a false statement, control and dominance is the perogative of males,
some men can go to the extreme to exert control over their wife.
Are you aware that a third of women murders in the US is caused by their male partners ?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/09/men-killing-women-domesti_n_5927140.html
And it is primarily for ego, ownership and control reasons. So women naturally wants control theory
does not hold water.


Go to married men that have richer wives and ask them, they will tell you that the message their women pass in everything they do is I don’t trust you to be able to do it right; I don’t respect your judgment; I don’t think you are competent; I don’t value your insight. I can do it all alone.
Again, you break your own rule can you point to any survey you did that confirm your position.
You should never have responded if you also believe in making wild assumptions about people
you know little about.


Stay Alone Then.
This is a choice any woman can make.

If you're rich and no man wants to marry you, it's because you're not good.

Stop consoling yourself with the Nigeria men are insecure around women with wealth.

Acquiring wealth doesn't mean you should get married automatically.
There are many broke single women out there and many rich women are getting married even as we talk.

Work on yourself.
It is as if you know her personally, but if you don't this is a misplaced advice as it
adds nothing to the discussion except to make your opponent look bad.



According the op, the women was sent parking because she was rich, and I ask, all these poor broke ladies that gets divorced all the time, is it their wealth that intimidated their husbands?
Because broke ladies got divorced doesn't mean a woman can't be sent parking because she is richer than her husband.
There are no rules on reason why divorce should occur. Someone could be divorced because of cheating while another
due to "lack of respect"or both, they are not always mutually exclusive.

So men should marry women that fits their description of a wife so as not
to end up as frustrated whiners who complain bitterly about how bad women are.

LanreDaMan:
Reminds me of a Particular Couple The Wife has a very flourishing pure water business that as at January 2017, She had 14 Water Deleivery vehicles. Husband works with Lawma as a Field operative (A Street Sweeper). Wife drives a Sienna 2012 and Hubby doesn't have a car. recently My wife pointed the House she was building which isnt far from where we are staying You would think its a Government guest lodge that is being built there.

I know for a fact the man used to be a Mid level Civil servant with a Good salary with a Federal ministry and the wife used to Sell stuff on the road side

Spiritual Evil Does Exist, lets not pretend Like it only exist in Nolly wood and stephen king books
People lose their job, wealth and positions and it has nothing to do with being married, single
or divorced. Life happens and it is not some evil spiritual people that are responsible.
It is easy to point fingers instead of taking responsibility for ones failure.
I am sure you won't blame the man if the wife was the civil servant who lost his job and
the husband becomes a wealthy pure water merchant.

Don't let anyone fool you, Yorubas and most other african tribes are indigenous Africans not migrants.

If I told you about a rift that happened between awujale and Ooni,
I am sure you will find another benin-linked story to tell instead of defending
your original claim.
CultureRe: Why Oba Of Lagos Can Only Be Loyal To Oba Of Benin And Not Ooni Of Ife by neocortex: 3:17pm On Apr 27, 2017
Elagancy:
Following the showdown at a public function on Tuesday in Lagos between the Ooni of Ife, oba adeyeye and his Lagos counterpart, oba Akinolu; with the majority asking for the head of the latter for showing royal disrespect for the ancestral stool of the Yoruba patron, oduduwa, I am prompted to clarify from historical point of view why the castigated king should not be held irresponsible for his reservation to accord the ooni the respect other yoruban kings are historically deemed to accord to him, the ooni. please read on and reason with me.
The show off is a personal issue, if you know anything about Yoruba history you will know that the respect for Ooni's
stool is an heritage one not power-based. In fact their are many instances in history where Ooni and some yoruba
kings were at loggerhead, a popular one being the face of between the late Alaafin and the late Ooni.
Baghdad once conquered and ruled spain that doesn't make spain subservient to Baghdad, in fact, in modern
times most people who were once ruled view their conquerors as enemies to be treated with scorn not as superior.

Next time you should deploy better "theories" to prove your points instead of writing long epistles which adds nothing to the
discussion at hand.

You will marry woman with your own money and take her abroad and she will want to form feminist for you and attempt to take everything you have worked for also, sharp guy. Brothers take cue.
You obviously know nothing about this case, if the wife want to ruin him,
she could have easily done so in the UK instead of the quiet divorce.
If you want a slave as a wife make sure you marry one with that mentality,
not that you will engage with an enlightened woman and still expect her to
see you as her god.

twilliamx:
Everbody deserves a second chance. EVERYBODY
Second chance is a worn out cliche used by criminals to attract sympathy.
Death sentences are handed to murderers that deserve no "second chance"
because of the enormity of their crimes.

He should never be released, the victim has no prospect of second chance,
so the killer pastor should rot in jail.
The reason why criminals who murder their victims are so bold these days is
because Nigeria hardly executes condemned inmates. They are left to enjoy
their life in prison and even some get released while their victims life and aspirations
has been terminated.

Anybody that don't want to be punished should not draw the first blood.

3. You were not there.

What you are sure of? Or What you are told...

The APC woman leader who shared the meal with the senator is also dead! And buried.
Adeleke had to switch cars on Saturday coz the one he came in with had been gased (poisoned).
Someone who is that light skinned turned dark seconds after his death.

Those who planned his death can't even show their face around Ede lest they'd be stoned. The incumbent deputy couldn't. None! The only representative of their cabinet - a commissioner designate (yet to be screened) was Mobbed! I mean that is all over the media...Even a foetus in Osun knows he was eliminated.

They needed a fall guy....Now tagged him "quack" You honestly believe a Senator of Federal republic will be attended to by a "quack"... Biket hospital is one of the best privates in the city and Adeleke was neither a poor man nor an illiterate who will allow a "quack" to handle him.


Funny "one thing we are sure of"... You Abi who are the "we"?
I am not your regular gullible folk, you have to provide proof for yours conjectures
or eat your words. As I said before, anyone can speculate but very few has any facts
to back it up.

APC women leader dead ? no name, no medical report ?

The APC women leader(Alhaja Kudirat Fakokunde) in Osun state is alive, hail and hearty.

Who could know from mere appearance that a physically fit individual like Ugo can have an heart attack ?
