This is very important.
My father is in his 70s now and still going strong because my mother no dey disturb am with unnecessary wahala. He tells me all the time, if he is come to this world again 1 billion times, na my mama him go still marry.

During his youthful days, he adopted a healthy lifestyle. Him dey work o but when him wan relax, him dey relax reach ground with my mama.

I remember going to get something from a close-by shop. It was so sunny that I had to face down while walking, a lady saw me and asked why was I walking that way and I told her the reason. Her reply was "I'm a man, it doesn't matter if I'm dark and ugly (she made a funny face how one can be) that I will still get a beautiful woman, she went further to say that the most important thing is my pocket". And my reply, "oh as a man I do not deserve enjoyment, I should just keep putting myself in harm's way just to make money for a woman".

I see some men wear rags, while their wives are shining. You hear them say " I want to look good for you", so is it a crime for me to look good as well? I refuse to be in that category.

Nothing in this world is worth the stress and I will never allow any woman to stress me. Despite the stress men go through and the sacrifices they make on daily basis to make ends meet and to provide for the family, it will shock u to know that ur children will always choose their mother over u. The thought of this alone dey pain me! I came across a post on Facebook two days ago where a guy said he had 500k to share btwn his parent and that he need an advice on how to share the money...... I was surprised at the response I saw. 95% of the comments was for him to give his mom 450k and give the father 50k. Honestly I dropped tears

You're right about stress and hell on earth women give men these days but about the Facebook it depend on which parent take care of child very well in my case i will give my mom 470K and dad 30K because my mom took 90% of growing expenses while she force my dad to give her money for me.

I will give my dad 270 and my mum 230.
I still love my mum more, but I appreciate my dad better now.
The only issue is it is my mum that can still be going to the bank.
Her strength is 101%

You are right ... even men forget their father and still choose their mother ..

I see it as immature when you only praise their mother and failed to acknowledge the father roles

I will forever be grateful to my father for the life lesson I learned from him ... he was late but I give him all deserved praise over any living thing except GOD ..

I'm trying to encourage our men here to take good care of their health, physically and mentally.
It's not like women don't have theirs but those of the men are very much noticeable in the sense that it takes a toll on their physical and mental health.
(1)I entered lagos two weeks ago and I needed to take uber, this uber driver as I can guess will be bw his 50s and 60s.He needed to send money to his wife (3k)but somehow he couldn't do transfer since he was driving me but I helped him with my bank app while he gave me cash. Do you know after transferring the money his wife was ungrateful and demanded he returns home immediately (that was around 8pm).Now,the man started complaining to me how whether he brings money or not how his wife keeps complaining and he said he's pitying Nigerian men who are getting married to strange women and giving birth without knowing what they're going into. He looked stressed out and trying to make ends meet but yet his wife added more burden, not just financially but mentally. So tell me how this kind of stressed man won't die out so sooner than later. He was lucky somehow that one of his children got a scholarship to study in India.

(2)I attended a friend's wedding and to my utmost shock both fathers of the celebrants are late. Only their moms are still alive while other relatives represented their fathers. So I was wondering how their moms are still alive while their fathers are late.
Some may say men marry younger women that's why they die out but from the mothers of those celebrants they're not up to 60 years, so how much age difference that will make the two men be late?

Im saying this because I have noticed lots of people esp men are passing through a lot of stress, please men don't allow your wives, siblings or anything infact to overstress you to the point of dying out in time. We men aren't super beings, try to take things easy.

Just my 2cents, bye.

to avoid stress simply avoid naija women

Those baboons ain't worth it

Amarisco:
On the contrary, research indicates that women go through more e.g. victims of violence, lower pay, birth etc but just have better coping strategies. Strategies such as being more likely to seek medical help early, rely on social support systems and openly acknowledge the emotional impact of adverse experiences.

Men are dying faster through stresses triggered by women.
If you reduce stress,you improve your chances of living longer.

On point baba

That thing called marriage is scary.

May God help the singles.

Thank you jari,
you're your brother's keeper. These women will not kill us..........

This story is similar to that of my friend. We were travelling down east and the wife (he left that morning) keep calling him throughout the journey demanding for money.
We got to enugu and he sent his wife 10k through a POS operator. 30 mins later, he was confused. The wife had not called to acknowledge the money. He called the wife and asked if she had gotten the money he sent, she grumbled and said yes. And asked "who is ngozi?" My friend was mad. Felt like smashing his phone. Women shaa.

Nigerian men are trying. It's not easy.

The problem is the lack of open, direct, and honest communication

The man in number 1, has he communicated his troubles to his wife?

This lack of effective communication starts with society telling men not to be emotionally vulnerable because it would make them look weak. And then women assuming that men who can be emotionally vulnerable are weak

The change needs to start with society. Men are also humans with emotional struggles

The happiest marriages are the ones where both husband and wife can be vulnerable without each other using that vulnerability against them. Where there's mutual love and respect and open communication

I miss my Dad mehn.
I will get married when I feel I am ready to do so and not for my mother or any stupid pressure.
Rip Dad!

Simple don't ever marry a Poor or broke woman, if she doesn't have money, then she is not ready for marriage. let her enjoy her father's house.

I know a woman would come in defence of their fellow women

egopersonified:
This is the effect of generations of family life. When we start solving this problem from the cause, there will never be answers.

We encourage our girls to focus on being wife materials and mothers. We teach them how to cook and take care of the home while the brothers are outside playing ball, making connections and going places. He is taught that a man's place is outside the home. To bring home the bacon. To take care of his family and be the bread winner. Till we start to teach our kids differently, we will still get this same results till eternity.


We teach our boys to not cry, don't show emotion and he bottles it up till he has a heart attack while a woman will cry from morning till night, shout out all her frustrations and be relieved from that burden.

We tell our men to take care of this girlfriend so another man doesn't snatch her. So he does two jobs and a side hustle just to 'maintain' her.

Why can't we teach our kids that both parties should be equal contributors to the family purse? Why can't the first person home make dinner? Why can't the man take the kids to the hospital while the woman goes to sell her tomatoes? Why do we have men coming on nairaland to tell us 'I take care of all the responsibilities in the home and all she does is to fill gas and she is complaining when I boil ordinary water to bath'?

Till we begin to train ourselves as one and the same unit, men will keep dieing young and women will keep enjoying the fruits of both their labours.
