aestake: Isn't most of the guys on thread whinning about the 'heavy lifting'? Women say men provide FULLY and I would handle the rest; mbanu. OK, let's peach in together in finance and chores; I am the head, I don't do chores. Do you now see why it is said that when a woman makes money, she doesn't 'need' a man? Abi why should a woman contribute financially in the home and do all the heavy lifting domestically? Isn't that the very definition of a single mother? |

NoToPile: @bold: 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 Serious scam to to laye yi o si. That's why most men with this mentality start whinning when they lose their source of income that they are no longer relevant. The question should be 'what was your relevance before? If you loss or disappear and they cry the mandatory two minutes, would they miss you or would their lives go on without your replacement? |

bukatyne: Honestly at bolded, the way they keep pushing that narrative which is one sided is concerning. It's common sense if all you are providing is money why should someone provide money plus the other things. Nature has shared the role and if there has to be an adjustment for whatever reason it has to be on both sides but iro oo, it's only the woman that must adjust to add making money to her own role, the man should keep making money only, what is he adding to the money making, you say it they keep quiet or they say kini big deal, well homemaking is not big deal blehbleh bleh and they can't survive 1 hour with 2 children under 5. Women are already making money it's an indisputable fact let the NL men be useful for something else apart from making money if they want bills to be shared. 2nd bolded answer is Money only according to Nairalanders. The 2nd scam that is being pushed by women these days is that it is when you share bills your husband will respect you, some have nicknamed it sense of responsibility I laugh when I read such posts as if they are not aware there are women who are even bread winners that being ridiculed, disrespected, beaten and cheated upon by the same man they sponsor. All na scam. Gbogbo wa la ma wa alright |

NoToPile:Well, if one looks at it from the perspective of inputs in marriage, the woman will feel cheated if she has to do *all the house chores* while also sharing in the bills. Abroad, the home responsibility is shared. In Nigeria, a man only calls for support because of the dwindling economy. So, let's assume the woman only contributes about 5-20% of the shared responsibilities. The man should be able to do an equivalent amount of house chores. Also, when their children become adults, the chores will no longer be in their dictionary (except probably cooking). So, an African woman should not believe because she contributed 5% of shared bills, house chores will be shared 50:50. Just my take. |

Yea I got u ! But my point is, despite the low income and unstable economy, Nigeria remain one of the cheapest place to live for a low income man. This is the reason you find a man earning 80k a month and outrightly paying the rent, feeding and school fees, probably because the wife is jobless. So is kinda funny when pastors or motivational say, don’t share the bills with your wife nonsense. U may decide not to share the bills if u are more than capable, but how many people can afford such life in UK US and other western countries, where rent is a thousand pounds and more than, depending on where u live and the space you need for ur family. Back in Nigeria my wife was a fashion designer while I run haulage business, I never expected anything from her, I pay my bills up to kids school fees because I understood she earns little to what I earn. But reverse is the case here, my bill is up to 1.6M a month and I make just over 2M a month, while my wife earns close to mine. So would she sit back and watch me spend all my earnings on bills while she saves hers ? I hope you understand my point, that only a big man can take up the responsibilities alone in western world, but in Nigeria u may earn just 150k and all the problems rest on ur shoulders.

When it comes to bills, she is not equal. When it comes to splitting properties, she is equal. And to lots of women, this is a perfect deal that is fair. It is men that have an entanglement with women that have such mentality I will blame. 11 Likes 1 Share |

labake1: I have absolutely no misgivings about this. It's ok to split bills if it works for you. Some men do not want any assistance from the female. They need the bragging rights to keep their ego pumping. The woman can assist a man who doesn't have, he should not just be lazy and keep up with little things till he breaks even. That's the Koko. |

1Sharon: What exactly is ur gender doing more than the man that nature did not equip u to do in the first few months....the man does nature has furnished him to to do and also make money which doesn't come out naturally from breast nor produced by hormone.... U want ur husband to grow breà sts and alternate breast feeding before it will be equal.?? Or hold the child's leg while the child 's pampers is changed before it will be equal?
