See how the male posters are kissing the OP's A55.

As long as Africa remains a patriarchal society where men gets almost everything and there are weak laws protecting women. Social behavior would not change and most women will keep being a "liability" (whatever that means). If you don't like it, advocate for more women's right and compete on a level playing field.

Better go get a job and take care of your family or die trying. grin
Weak a55 niggahs
strong laws protecting woman don't increase men respected for woman is actually reduce it. furthermore the law will not reduce man ego therefore most man might still not accepted help from their wives. i think the only law that will force men to accepted financial help from their wives are strong tax laws. for in American you must an idiot not to paid tax as individual not as couple mores applying for mortgage/ loan as couple sometimes is cheap than applying as individual etc

Once again your hypocrisy shows in broad daylight.

The same men who today are praising and shouting yes, yes, will tomorrow refuse to adhere to the simple fact that women should be given their equal rights and opportunities.

"We want Assets and not liabilities"
And when the woman ask for her equal opportunities and rights, we will hear
"Men have the sole responsibility to provide and a man is the head of the family".

Is this not the same Nairaland that we read of how a man wants the wife to resign her job and career , because he wants her to take care of the children. As if taking care of kids is solely a responsibility of a woman.

Most Nigerian men are synonymous with hypocrisy.

One male nairalander thread is equal to the opinions of all Nigerian men ? Generalization a bit much don't you think

Na her hard earned money jooor women are supposed to be richer than men if they use their head well.
The issue is not making money...it is using it to make more and invest. Do things other than clothes and paintings.

Lol....during dating/courtship, a lady should avoid being a liability to her boyfriend or rebranded boyfriend- 'fiancee'..but once he marries her, he should take absolute responsibility of her expenses...that's my stand always. I am not in support of a lady being the breadwinner o cheesy cheesy....or even earning more than I am, nope...but let her productive for her own good and in case her parents and siblings need her assistance she won't need to be pestering me but allow me do so at my own time smiley

Nice one Writer. I so much believe in having my own cash because i like to spend my own cash. If my future Prince is loaded i guess it becomes an added advantage. By God's grace i am so on point on becoming an adorable asset.

Strive to be the kind of woman who, when your man hits rock bottom, when his business fails or he is retrenched from his job, can carry the family through. You must be able to provide what he otherwise would. This thing of women who sit doing nothing, and when a man goes through a difficult period, cannot come through for him, or at least even help him make a plan, is not on.

Let us start hustling with our men. We must stop being liabilities when we have what it takes to be assets.

Ladies, what's your take on this?

sorry, but are you the last of your kind?

@gorgeous58, Ok, even though I am all up for women working and having their own income but what i want to know is whether cooking, cleaning, taking care of the house, giving birth, bringing up the children, making sure the man is fed and taken cared of etc are all part of the woman being a liability to the man?

Or you mean those who sit down and do absolutely nothing but to sit and chop money because the latter are a minority compared to the women earning their income or taking care of the home.

Women should be helpers, but I pray never to be in a situation where my wife will be the breadwinner. Even though I may not provide all her wants, I still should be able to handle my affairs. It's not a good experience for a man to loose his job and depend on his wife

I don't know which part of the world, you live in but times have changed, right now in Nigeria a company won't blink twice to hire a female over a male if they were sure she was brilliant than the other. its a competitive field already, as for your post on "women will keep being a liability" i do feel ashamed for you, as someone who has facilitated in programs that promote women in technology, its a shame you have to put your own down because of what the society expects i do hope you don't think like this normally. I have no problem with a woman being in charge in fact my top boss is a female whose knowledge tops mine by miles, and i feel opportuned opportune to have learnt from her. change your mindset you have hidden potentials you might not be aware of.

As usual you continue your hypocrisy, Why should she be an asset during courtship but a liability during marriage?. What's wrong in a woman providing 50-50 in the family? What's your problem with Career women?

What will you do should your future wife(who I earnestly pity and feel sorry for) earn more than you?


As for your brazen hypocrisy, at times I wonder if you're been paid for it.

actually this is not a Nigeria problem only, men world wide has big ego therefore most men hate to see their wives earning more than them, for example today was with guys (indian, British, German, Arab and Ghanian) in our library a girl shows one Australia series called HOUSE HUSBAND and told that her male friends told her that being a house husband is the worst thing that could even happen to a guy, funny all of us agreed that is bad thing to be a house husband.the only reason we see this more in Asia, south America and Africa is cost of living is cheap and low and week tax regime.

lol its obvious you are young, that's a weird way to think, what does hustle with a man even mean ? anyway everybody has their opinions, but you should know not all people will be rich at the early stage, infact why are we Nigerians so materialistic why is so much value placed on money ?

Seriously, some women do the later. As for the former, taking care of house chores won't cut it if the man becomes financially handicapped tomorrow. The woman should at least have something to offer when trying times come around. What if she becomes widowed? What then?
Re: Women; Becoming Assets Rather Than Liabilities by kalimera101: 10:02pm On Oct 28, 2014
This is a nice topic. But like some posters has noted, a lot of African men has Hypocrite as middle name.
Now a lady says she wants to make money to support her husband and a guy still on the same thread says I can't allow my wife to be the bread winner of the family.

I rest my case.

most men have no problem with career women, as long as he does earn more him because when she earn more than him, she will not be happy with what he is providing in terms of accommodation/ food/ trip therefore she will want to contribute in the family welfare which most men hate which this means he is useless/ worthless because he can't take care of his family need which men have being doing since the time of Adam
Re: Women; Becoming Assets Rather Than Liabilities by Nobody: 10:04pm On Oct 28, 2014
its hard being a man oh, see responses am seeing here, what happens when the man loses his job, should the man suddenly commit suicide because his wife earns more, i think we will know alot of women's true color when it comes to the stage when the rich guy loses his job, its then we will know what kinda of wife we have, i don't pray for anything bad to happen to me but i hate to imagine my wife resenting me for losing my job and depending on her. we Nigerians sure have a strange way of thinking.

God bless you ma`am. We men are smarter now. Once we find your type, the next thing is a ring on a finger. My rule now is simple, I`ll only date a woman who has a means of livelihood going forward. Thankfully, that number of women is increasing in our society. No more painted-nails,open-hands and ready-to-suck-me-dry-women.
I object your statistics! The number of parasitic women are growing that is why there is so much complaints renting the air, if women of today are half as hardworking as our mothers, this thread and my moniker won't exist.

You couldn't have said it better, when my dad died, it was our mom that had to bear the whole financial burden, am sure if she married a egotistic person i'd prob be under the bridge smoking crack and replying this message with bad grammer.

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more
precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts
in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him
good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks
wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is
like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food
from afar.
