Great insight sir , I have always said same to my Nephew never to marry a lady who has no means of income , it mustn't be a white collar job but at least having something other than sex to contribute in a marriage, marriage is far beyond child birthing and sex in 21st century ...I grew up seeing my Aunties and sisters helping out their husbands financially and even building houses of their own, so why should we end up with ladies who have nothing but overrated sense of entitlement.
My wife may not have been giving me money but the little contributions at home and selling my ideas to people around her has brought us so much financial fortunes, she's a perfect wife for modern day Nigeria...I lost my job in 2015 and I start my business exactly same year , 5 years after and we are far better than we were when I was employed and that's because she stood by me and gave her unflinching support( the entitled ones would have abandoned me and moved on).
On another note, kindly permit me to share this great insight on other platforms, at least it will help our ladies understand better.
KingSatan: As a man, a father and a grandfather. I have lived life to an extent and this is my view on this subject.
The previous thread was simple and concise, "Never marry a woman who has no means of income".
But that is the truth!
Gone are the days when people marry "Obiageri's" according to the Igbos. Back then, things weren't this bad. Considering the family setting in those days, women had no other role than to cook, birth, raise children and clean the house.
So their parents prepare them for marriage, teach them how to cook, satisfy a man and raise children. They also spend alot of time grooming their hairs, taking care of their skin (Some parents send their children to fattening rooms) and waiting to get married.
When we got married, we married to keep them at home and show off to our friends. Only a few of us married because of love. Some of our partners were not our choice but our parents.
So when you marry, your wife and children should always reflect your wealth and networth. Most especially, YOUR WIFE.
I repeat, back then things were not this bad and everyone knew their roles.
But in today's world, so many things have changed.
Women should bring to the table as much as they expect from the man.
Raising children costs alot of money and shouldn't be the responsibility of the man alone.
So many marriages have crashed on the alter of poverty or "One stream of income".
We must learn to tell ourselves the truth always.
Back then, you don't spend so much to raise a child. If he or she wants to go to the community school or follow the white man's way of life, you send them as a punishment. But those humble and loyal sons, follow you to the farm and when they come of age, you give them farmlands and wives if possible. But that's not the case anymore.
Apart from formal education abroad, I also encouraged my children to learn sellable skills. One of my son is a fashion designer and that is what puts food on his table in the UK. His college degree only reflects on his call cards.
I told this to my children (Daughters inclusive) never to marry a man or woman who has no verifiable means of income.
Money is needed to run a home in the 21st century. Alot of money!
We no longer live in mud houses or drink from pots.
As for "Entitlement", I think every couple should have that mentality depending on the context.
The man is entitled to his wife's emotional commitment. She is his wife and this also applies to the man.
I am tired of typing.
To be truthful, i warned my son's against mingling with an average African woman. They simply don't want to know the truth. They hate the truth with Passion and that is why true feminism failed woefully here.
In the Diaspora, most men who want peace of mind avoid African women because of their "Entitlement Mentality" and how exploitative they are.
Many of these women don't work but enjoy proceeds of child support from numerous partners. You think it's a coincidence? No it not. It was deliberate.
They just want to seat at home, get fat, enlarge their butts and walk up and down the street like a pussy cat that resides in Buckingham Palace.
Should I talk about Nigeria, where you meet an average Nigerian lady and realise that;
1. She is a college graduate because a "Man" sponsored her in school (Both of them are no longer together as a couple).
2. She has a roof over her head because a "Man" made that available (She has no intention of marrying him).
3. She uses the best smartphone because a "Man" bought it for her (Just another random man).
4. She has clothes on her body because a "Man" gave her money for shopping (Obviously he is "One of those mugus".
5. She has food on her table because so many men send her money.
This same woman has no other skill but sexual skills. The only thing she can offer is "Sexual Intercourse", "Birthing Children" and "Companionship" but she expects the man to "Mark her birthdays with a brand new Escalade", "Buy her parents a new house and train her younger ones in school". Is that not exploitation?
This same woman hates her mother inlaw because she sees her as her rival. Anyway, women have always hated themselves from time immemorial, don't get moved when you see them shout in solidarity, it's just for a few seconds.
When asked about their contribution in the relationship or Marriage, some will say "I birthed children for him". But that's your natural default woman!
Even if you sleep with a sexually active mad man, you will get pregnant and birth for him.
Some will even say, "I satisfy him sexually. I gave him my body and soul". But that is same thing you did with your numerous ex lovers.
According to Pastor Sam Adeyemi, he said "If a woman does not help her husband financially, then how else does she want to help him".
In this age and time, it takes two adults who have a verifiable means of income to build a healthy family.
Creative toon you've got there , I pray for God's grace upon your work. I get really moved when I see Nigerians and blacks moving out of the norm , we must do things differently to get better ...one love !
growtogeda: what will football in the 90s be without Jay Jay. not all these kick and follow me football of today
You are well informed, I have seen this myself, the guy even brought the white lady to naija, kept her in the hotel and was going to see his naija wife at his family home ...but I kept wondering what happened to the guys conscience.
lefulefu: a number of edo guys who are married and hustling overseas na so dem dey do their marriage.when the parents insist they must have home based wife they will return during the holidays pay the dowry on who they want to marry play the husband role then return overseas .Of course many of their wives based in naija secretly have lovers but the guys themselves also have foreign wives abroad with children.na the stubborn ones dey refuse homecall and dey insist on being faithful to the wives they are married to overseas .
Blame them not for they own no businesses, hence do not know how it feels to lockdown a company for 5 weeks . We have paid April ,I doubt if we can pay may should this lockdown persists...not easy at all.
After weeks of unproductivity with pay, you want the company to still allocate productive time when the lockdown is over for their staff to still go relax at home?
It is you who have no compassion for industry, enterprise and the national economy.
Even in kano, it's a common knowledge igbo women in sabon gari and Nomansland sleep around with young boys... Flier should learn not to cook up statistics from the beer parlour, south south women are the most independent set of women in Nigeria and very supportive of their spouses.
Lostz: it is a common knowledge in Delta here that Igbo women sleep around even after marriage.
the Igbo man will always accept back a cheating wife.
don't just sit in your room and come up with figures

Pls I need help!! My younger brother has been battling with a certain rash on his head since 2013. We keep on treating and after sometimes the rashes disappear and appear later.
He has used all kinds of creams and was even on pills to treat the rashes yet the rashes refuse to go. Pls is there anybody that knows the name of the rashes and how it can be treated because my younger brother is gradually losing his self-esteem because he can hardly go out without putting on cap to cover the area that is affected by the rashes.
Suggestions, criticism and possible solutions to the problem are welcomed. Doctors in the house your input will be highly appreciated. Attached below is a picture showing the true state of the affected areas
Pls mods move this to FP for wider coverage
You can try Neo-Medrol, It worked for me though mine was just 2 or 3 rashes . Best of luck.
