You have to explain to me why she is not allowed to openly express herself in this manner. What is it about what she said that offends you? That her Pucci value is worth nothing less than 20 million or what? huh

Would you have been happier if she had said You don't need to pay any money at all to get her to open her legs to you? I mean, what exactly are you getting at here? undecided
Like I said,u obviously know nothing about value and its not a crime.
Your last paragraph gave u out and on this note I rest my case. grin

Neither of them is easy to raise. However, make sure you play ya part very very well, by teaching them the right principles "when them never even start to dey seat" Also, not forgetting the potency of prayers too.
I will teach them how to make money and do good.
I won't teach them how to pray. Never!!!

What you are telling me is that there exists some phantom standard which you refer to as values and distinction and those who do not adhere to this phantom standard you hold to are not necessarily criminals or guilty of any crimes against their fellow man. Of what use or need is this standard to anyone, including myself, since I refuse to even pretend I have any idea what you are even going on and on about? undecided

This is sort of like listening to dem religious f0rkjobs try to tell me "god said this, god said that.." knowing fully well I don't subscribe/smoke or partake of their particular delusions. Come on,meen! You know you shouldn't go around trying to impose these ideas on everyone out there. grin

The mother will equally find it difficult to raise a daughter if the father figure is absent. That’s why we have lots of women pushing their daughters into hookup and baby mama life.

Reality is: Women were not created to raise children by themselves. So Irrespective of the child’s gender, the woman would do a bad work if the father is absent.

And below that, all the circled were raised by single mothers

Raising children can be challenging, regardless of their gender. Both boys and girls have unique needs and personalities that require different approaches. Some parents might find it more challenging to raise boys due to societal expectations and traditional masculinity norms, while others might struggle with girls due to body image issues, self-esteem, and societal pressures.

In Nigeria, cultural and societal expectations can also play a role in shaping parenting styles and challenges. For instance, boys are often encouraged to be strong and independent, while girls are often socialized to be nurturing and submissive.

Ultimately, every child is different, and what works for one may not work for another. What's your experience or concern about raising kids?

You raise a boy to be
Manly
Dependable
Say his mind when he can without fear
Provider
Defender
Hustler


And it is hard for a single mum or divorced woman to raise a boy! And a divorced woman or single mum raise a terrible girl

I agree with you 100% I will not even advise my son to marry a child raised by a single or divorced woman

1. What are manly characters?

2. There are literally 100s of millions of strong men out there — you probably worship some of them too— who were raised by single mothers. Why do you keep arguing against the literal reality of things? undecided

3. Are bandits, yahooyahoos, agberos, and so on among these effeminate men? huh

Pray more than pastors some of whom have kids that are sexually promiscuous by their religious standards or addicted to one thing or another? 🤔

Your Prayers do not raise better children, abeg! 😩😩😩
Don't you know that some of these pastor abandoned the right thing to do by putting prayers first? They barely have time for their kids aside church.

The vast majority of your pastors abandoned the right thing to do, and that explains why almost all of them have at least one child they continuously have to hide from their congregation. Na so? huh 🥱🥱🥱

2. So, your earlier advice was not for real, since here you admit that even with all of their prayers, the reason why most pastors have at least one child that is the black sheep is that pastors don't really have time for their children. Basically, time spent with the children, not prayers, is what really pays dividends. undecided

Everything that makes people think the female child is harder to raise revolves mostly around her safety _sexually and physically. So maybe you should raise your sons with same carefulness not to cause evil to another person's daughter.

The menstraul hygiene of the girl child is not why Trump is planning to invade Nigeria. Neither is it the reason our national highways are slaughter houses and kidnappers dens.
This is abuse in another language

And why do we have men sleeping with their daughters? Balance the equation.
Why do we have men?? When you leave your sheep in the wild and it gets eaten by a wolf, Who do you blame?

When you get scammed, who do you call out, the scammer or the scammed??

Who impregnated the baby mamas? Irresponsible men. Who impregnated the high school girls? Men who are sexual predators.

As for hook up girls getting used for rituals, just imagine if parents raised their sons well, then girls wouldn't be endangered species.

In essence, women carrying the highest social risk doesn't mean they are difficult to raise. It proves they are vulnerable to the villainy of men because some people didn't raise their sons well.
The core problem remains the same, but the solution is not acceptance of female vulnerability. We must provide adequate, intensive education and training to the girl child so we can raise better women who understand the risks.

We accept that there will always be irresponsible men; our inherent testosterone boost and lesser social risk exposure mean some men will always 'explore' reckless behavior, as evidenced by the fact that rape still occurred even in the days of our ancestors who valued virginity. Since male aggression is often inevitable, the focus must shift entirely to teaching women the dangers so they won’t fall into the hands of wolves.

To simplify the entire equation: if your sheep gets eaten by a wolf, who is truly to blame—the wolf, the sheep, or you, the shepherd who failed to adequately protect and train the vulnerable party?

There’s no manual for parenting. Try your best to teach your kids what life is all about. Love, discipline, smartness and ability to interact with their social.

He was raised by the single mum ! And you see Everything from money perspective

He was one of the worst president in America with terrible character ! Fought wars, created LGTBQ group and messed the poor up ... And that's terrible character! That's why Trump is cleaning it up !


Dude I am not talking about money ! I am talking about characters and he STARTED IMPOSING LGTBQ in the world and that's your man raised by single mum

You're making my point ... this is not about if the male or female is responsible for girl child going wayward. Even so ...either child can go wayward... but that's a different topic. Going into that will derail the thread.

It is the girl child that is harder to raise. When the boobs and buttocks start to come out properly, your girl is open to sexual abuse and being lured to use her body to get advantages and what she wants. There is a girl I used to teach and actually became someone she and her family looks up to. She is in JSS 3 now. I did not see her for almost a year but when she came to my place recently, I noticed her body is changing rapidly. Her breasts, hips , buttocks etc. I have started limiting her coming to my place. I don't want wahala. Cheers.

😅 This is just unbelievable. Do you know what is character? Someone who had the character and testicular fortitude to become the very president of US. Try to be Local Council and see if people won't toss you out because they can sense your weak lack of character
