FamilyRe: "What Does She Bring To The Table?" Is Not For A Good Woman by onlyhope: 8:27pm On Sep 05, 2025
1 Tim 5 vs 8 says:

King James:
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. (KJV)

Amplified:
If anyone fails to provide for his relatives, and especially for those of his own family, he has disowned the faith [by failing to accompany it with fruits] and is worse than an unbeliever [who performs his obligation in these matters]. (AMP)

Message:
But those who won't care for their own relatives, especially those living in the same household, have denied what we believe. Such people are worse than unbelievers. (NLT)

...and NIV, NKJV, MSB refer to "everyone" not "MAN" like they've all been screaming.

Women know that making money is hard but they want to trivialize it. Make the man do all di work, make hin no give di wife anything, you go see nagging and wahala. If na woman do di work, make man no even try am say he wan taste hin wife moni. Na so life suppose be?

That is where the leader or head comes in. In every functional society/organization/institution, there must be a "chosen" head or a leader. The leadership position comes with unique responsibilities and sacrifices that cannot be equated with any other position in that institution.

Someone (either you or your woman) must be mutually agreed to take the position of leadership in your marriage or you relationship (which is a formal institution), otherwise, you two are not couple but rather contemporaries.

Contemporaries are like 2 drivers on the one steering of a vehicle. Contemporaries are bound to continue to complete for domination untill the inferior is edged out by the superior, or till both both fall out of time and event.
This leadership story is laughable. Some women are now taking up leadership positions in the church. Nowadays, a woman pastors her husband in church as the leader. Will she becomes his follower at home? (I wouldn't know).

You think a woman who is the spiritual head over her husband will submit to the man totally in all things? I'm sure even if she tries to do in all other aspects, she won't in spirituality.

Responsibility does not consider whether you are a leader or follower. Things should get done. That's what matters. If you checked what the lady posted, she used a Bible passage which many people have been using wrongly: 1 Tim 5:8.

Kindly look up 1tim 5:8 sir. Correspondingly, Ephesians 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,”
A husband is supposed to love his wife like Christ loved the church. The way Christ loved the church was by allowing himself to be tortured to death for it. Love= giving giving= providence smiley The word "gave" = providence
But a wife also loves her husband, right? So how does love equal to carrying responsibilities all alone? Everybody and anyone can love. It's a responsibility for all humans. So, the woman can love without providence but the man's must be interpreted as providence?

Again, if a man cannot provide because he lost his job for 6 years, then, he's loveless? The wife of a man who lost his job cannot provide capital for him to run a business or loan him some cash because the Bible stated that a woman must not provide for her household?

Moreover, the Bible mentioned that everyone responsible for a household should provide, why are the heathens always more particular about men?
FamilyRe: "What Does She Bring To The Table?" Is Not For A Good Woman by onlyhope: 8:09am On Sep 04, 2025
verminnel:
You used the word " Responsible " sir,What is the concept of responsibility? Responsibility can be conceptualised as being accountable for someone or something and have a duty to make certain that particular things are done, even biblically it is made clear that providence should be a "man" thing.
From your concept, people have been using the word "responsible" for a good man . That was why I reiterated that a responsible man is one who doesn't bring anything to the table but whose character reflects fidelity, respect, love, and understanding. If only the man must be responsible, does it mean women are irresponsible in relationships and marriages? If a responsible woman only comes into a martial union with fidelity, respect, love, and understanding, a man who does the same is not responsible?

Moreover, where in the Bible was only the man asked to provide?

Listen up my fellow men. When you have a woman that brings fidelity, love, respect, understanding, as well as the virtuous body submitted only to you, that woman already brought the entire "Table". Don't ask her what she brings to the Table again, else you aren't fit to sit on the Table. If her table is such that you aren't fit enough to sit and put the necessities on at the least, leave and let her leave quickly and move on.
A responsible man should not bring anything to the table. When he showers his wife with fidelity, love, understanding and niceness. I think that should be balanced too.

A man should not ask a virtuous woman what she brings to the table. If her character reflects fidelity, respect, love, and understanding, she has already proven her value. The wiser question is whether both partners can pull their strengths together to build a balanced, respectful, and fulfilling union.

I'm thinking of going to Abuja, but i don't know if I should contact or apply via the ministry first before going to Abuja.
Yes, you can send someone in Abuja, but be sure the person has enough time because they may need to visit the ministries more than once.

Some said they used up to 2 weeks to process their documents at the two ministries.

Who did their authentication recently (by themselves) at the Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

How is the process? Can one complete the process within 2 days?

My appointment date is very close and I still have 2 documents yet to be authenticated.

If you did authentication recently by yourself, kindly give me a heads-up about how long it took you.

Thanks

Hello,
Please, how did you guys fill the maiden name field in the passport application?

Initially, I skipped the space since I am a man. But the preview gave the space as mother's maiden name, which I went back to re-edit and fill-in.

Now, after filling it in, subsequently, the place has been showing "maiden name".

So, the question is, will the place be filled with mother's maiden name?

TravelRe: Studying In Finland (free Tuition) by onlyhope:
Hello guys,
While researching for proof of fund for Finland, I saw that after the payment of school fees, one should have an equivalent of €560.00 per month or €6,720.00.

1. Will €6,720.00 be sufficient as POF for Finland? Or like how much should it be?

2. Does the year of study counts towards PR. Like, after using 2 years for study, one will need to get a job, and use another 2-3 years to qualify for PR?

Thanks in advance

Hello guys,
Kindly help clarify the following about Study in Austria for an M.Sc. applicant:

1. I don't understand German, is English language proficiency enough for the study in English programs?

2. How much is the proof of funds for a single applicant or two people (husband & wife)?

3. Austria vs. Finland, which country offers better opportunities for international students?

I've learnt a lot by going through the thread. I just need some forms of clarification.

There are many things to say about this country. I was reading it on the frontpage that a religious leader was admonishing his people to vote a leader that will support bandits' operations...huh

Just take a look at this report from Ondo state, which is attached to this post.

Now imagine someone experiencing this, and a religious leader is still admonishing his people to vote leaders that will ensure that the operations of his bandit brothers are unhindered?

With this, how does the future of this country look? Yet, someone is saying people trying to find a means of sustenance should not leave this country.

TravelRe: Japa Propaganda And Mindset Of Nigerians Youths by onlyhope(op): 6:16pm On Dec 29, 2022
This is more or less an indirect response to the first thread, here:

https://www.nairaland.com/7500932/japa-propaganda-mindset-nigerian-youths

I have been reading online, and also following the stories on the media, newspapers, and online platforms about traveling out of the country, a phenomenon widely addressed as "Japa".

Like I opined, this is not a direct response to the first thread, because I am not trying to spring up an argument about traveling abroad from Nigeria.

However, this thread is to put it to you anti-japa croners that you should mention any ten viable businesses that a young graduate can start with 1-3 million naira in the Nigeria of today, and also propose how to raise the capital for such businesses.

Now, why am I writing this? There are so many things to say about our dear country, but let's talk about this....

Did you know that there has been embargo on employment in Nigeria since 2020?

I used to wonder why people complain that youngsters are traveling out of a country that has placed embargo on employment (federal/state) for the past 3 years.

If records or statistics are anything to go by, this means about 1.8 million graduates in three years without provision from the government about employment.

Like I opined, there are many things to convince us as Nigerians that the government and the people needs to do better. But, if you cannot propose a solution to the problems on ground, leave the youngsters trying to find a solution for themselves.

Let everyone find a solution for their personal lives. That is how Nigeria has been running.

Hardships only breed criminal minded people.

Hi Chidiesta,
1. First, let's talk about you:
I think you need to re-evaluate yourself.
Your parents are no more.
You had a child out of wedlock.
The father of your kid rejected you....
Your sister is maltreating your kid.
You went to another man's country illegally.
You have a 2nd child that's a year old? How?
Your friend is a single mother.

2. Now, let's talk about your sister:
You sent her 300k. Your daughter's school fees is 67k, her son's is 87k, which means she'll still have 146k left after paying your daughter's and her son's fees.

Well, you need more than just taking your daughter from your sis. Your sister is not a good woman.
Although, I've written this before, but let me propose a solution.
I have a friend who's a teacher. He actually told me sometime ago that parents based abroad do pay the school fees of their children directly to the school account.

So, get the contact of your daughter's school, including the phone no of proprietor & head teacher. Be paying her school fees directly into the school account henceforth.
Also, don't pay your sister's children school fees again. Rather, send your sis some money monthly for your daughter's upkeep if she still stays with your sis. With this, your sis and her husband have no excuse not to take care of your daughter or push their financial responsibility to you.
