@ Magnoliaa and Persephone1

I agree with you, a lot of men embody the rigid traits of society's flawed definition of the ideal man. They can be quite inflexible, robotic and even not really self aware but I know you know you have to approach this topic in an open minded way. Although, I can sense you just want to create an emotional relieve for yourself through this post or perhaps try enlighten those who are here.

Quality men aren't always obvious and aren't known for jumping into relationships when the woman in question doesn't possess their core qualities or align with their principles.

Your may be looking for a potential partner who embodies true quality, someone who is similar to you or rather put, someone who complements you and can resonate with you on a deeper level but such man is rare and even if they are standing beside you, they tend to analyze if you're compatible or not and if you aren't, they won't reveal, approach or engage you in a relationship.

Though you might not really accept, they are here in Nigeria but embody a nature which is hidden until they get comfortable with you in their inner circle.

Now why you mentioned in this, I don't know, but if you want me to take you seriously, let me see an equivalent of your response directed to men at various times when they talk down on Nigerian women.


When you've done so, we may have a conversation.

When you've done so, we may have a conversation.

I have been on this platform for years just as you with several monikers just like this one and veritably I don't contribute much unless there is a reason. I only observe in the background and don't converse much but when I do generate a response or topic here, it's with good purpose nothing more or less. Going through my profile or assuming you get me based on my activity here will only give you the wrong notions about me.

And to be honest, I didn't even know you weren't the one who created the post until I checked throughly. May sound uncomfortable but I examined your profile topics along with some others here and eventually arrived at this link from my browser, thus mistyping you for her in the mention.

Moreover, I'm quite bored at the moment and decided to try create impressions here just to see if anyone can stimulate me via a conversation as I hardly come across someone interesting enough to match my energy in deep conversations.

Based on your kind of topics and replies here, I perceived and theorized you are one who crave deeper interactions and have a curious mind hence after noticing my error mentioning you, decided to leave it that way to see where it goes.

There is no ego, arrogance or delusion behind this message so don't make false assumptions.

Laatly concerning addressing the issue of men who are morally deficient and lack the core principles of a quality man, i did that sometime ago through my other moniker but now I'm older and more evolved.

There is no point trying to persuade others whose personality by default goes against your message as people don't really change and you can't change anyone. Time is precious and I wouldn't want to waste it on something that is so trivial to my existence and goals. My energy is solely focused on myself and those around me who I can connect to physically.

You might be more sensitive and aware to issues like that and try to help those around you improve. You might have goals to better the society and help others develop but honestly I don't have the time to focus on such matters that are of little importance to me as I'm my utmost priority. Let those guys remain as they are, the society is defined by the people in it and can rarely be changed through online motivation.

[i]"Marry a typical Nigerian Man at your own peril"

When I type these words, it's not from a place of hate towards men ( I don't hate anybody) It is from careful analysis of marriages to Nigerian Men which mostly lack genuine love, empathy and kindness. Nigerian Marriages are mostly driven by "needs" and "means" to an end. Too systematic and unnatural and the one with the highest bargaining chip gets the most benefit.

Our mothers didn't teach us enough about Men. They didn't know either until they got married, unfortunately they are still learning about Men too. That is why the popular saying "Ile oko ile eko ni" (Your husband house is a school) is usually the soothing balm to unfavourable experiences a wife has with her husband. One question I always ask myself when I hear these words as parting words of advice for young wife is. Does that mean she is getting married into a strange,unknown and possibly unfavourable world? Why represent her husband as an unending course? And will she ever graduate and be relieved of painful lessons?. Ask these women these questions and they will shake their heads in mockery but the truth is, They weren't taught enough about the Men they are getting married to. How would they when they didn't know who they are either. To understand another person there must be a certain level of self awareness you have reached yourself. This way you have enough level of intelligence to be a perfect judge of character. But when a woman believe all she needs to be is a good cook and good konji reliever then all she will seek is a man who has Kitchen and bed.


Men are the worst in this joke of an institution. Configured to believe all they need to posses is Financial ability to provide. The upbringing of the typical Nigerian Man is very very wrong. Trained with little to no empathy,kindness, self care, sense of belonging, self love but burdened with sense of responsibility brought up like a robot to "provide" only. Most Nigerian men are robotic minded, unable to connect emotionally without aide yet this men are expected to naturally see their brides as a part of themselves. Wishful thinking if you ask me. And when some men luckily achieve this, the society (Men and Women) mock him. Aside this, they don't readily know what they want and are easily tossed by the society.

We create a society devoid of emotional engagement but want the benefits emotions birth. Compassion and affections brings liberty, a man who lacks these will see his wife as his slave and property, he gets to do with her what he seem best and not what is good for her. We really have a long way to go as a Society.

Nigerian Men make terrible horsebands

You made some good observations but you lost my support when you started making condescending remarks about men. Mind you, the men you referred to includes your dad, grandfather, brothers, friends and relations.

Marriages everywhere around the world are mostly driven by "needs" and "means" to an end. It has been like that for centuries and will remain like that forever. Love, affection, empathy, compassion, kindness etc are no longer the pry factors that determine marriage. Money, economic power, social influence, material resources are now pry and major factors that determine marriages. That change is majorly influenced by the brides family, society, friends, folks and women that we marry.

Can you stay in marriage, be submissive and respect your husband that is loving, affectionate, empathetic, compassionate, kind and care more about himself but with little or no money, economic power, social influence and material resources?

I want you to answer this question honestly and carefully.

We encourage self awareness for women and men but not to the point that we become disrespectful, insulting and condescending about the male gender, or female gender as the case maybe.
