TooNoisy:I was going to post something along this line last night but decided not to so it doesn't come off as sentimental. If these powerful women had gone about blaming society, misinterpreting the constitution, seeing sexism where there's none, or screaming about how patriarchy is responsible for their menstrual flow, I wonder if they would be where they are now. Enough said! 3 Likes |

Life in Nigeria is generally hard for both genders,so many stereotypes prejudices etc. You cant make these things go away but you can choose to rise above it. I told myself that i'll buy my own car and will live alone before i get married(i like staying by myself)and i'm working towards it and will do it. Most Nigerian women subject themselves to this treatment,say and do nothing about it except rant online. I had a friend who said i was too ambitious for a woman i cleared the fellow sharp sharp. No time to waste with folks like that. To women out there:fight for what you want dont expect it to be handed on a platter if not "express go leave you" 7 Likes |

njokusboy:Just last week, we were having a conversation, a group of friends...and this argument came up about which gender finds it easier in Nigeria. The truth is that young Nigerian women have it easier at the end of the day. The females among us whose parents are very well to do still receive monthly stipends from their parents despite being working class with a good job, their excuse is that they're still single. Most dudes on the other hand are fully independent regardless the parents' financial weight. Most of these young girls screaming how independent they are only need to make a call to someone and they get credit alerts into their account, some can't even remember the last time they used their own money to purchase airtime on their expensive phones. How did some get such phones you may ask... Very few used the money they worked for. The ones with solid financial backgrounds will use daddy's and mommy's monthly stipend while majority spread their legs at one time or the other to enjoy that life. I'm not calling them wh.ores but we know how most young Nigerian women run things these days. Most are getting proposed to by rich suitors left, right, and center. Banks and corporate organizations whose businesses revolve around customer service and contact with people, employ a far greater percentage of women compared to men. Luckily for us in the engineering field, that scale is balanced as more men get employed. Any woman that says being a woman in Nigeria is too hard most probably comes from a poor background, has parents who treated her less than her brothers, is jobless/underpaid, or is married to a man who makes life hard for her. But hold up, it's these same set of women that claim to have the best husbands, brothers, and fathers in the world...so I can't help but wonder where their own experiences come from - the disconnect is just too clear. Indeed very amusing... 5 Likes 1 Share |

freshvine:Yes, I am imperfect. I can't remember saying the males around me are perfect either, I learnt to focus on their perfection. This topic isn't all encompassing, it's centred on a particular ideology some people (mostly males) believe in. "It's only on NL I see them in QUANTUM" _ meaning, they are everywhere...but somehow, majority are here. My question to you is "who actually are those suppose males on nairaland" ? Aliens, No?It won't be far fetched to call them aliens. When a being behaves/reasons in a way that's strange to normal human beings_ it's safe to call that person an alien. Please, be reminded that there are males I respect on this forum, they don't fall into this category. Please stop deceiving young ladies here with fallacy of emotion.What's deceive? Is it nuclear physics for a man to help his wife with chores where you come from? 'but if I told them my husband bludgeons me everyday, it won't be deceiving ba? bukatyne: babygirlfl:Amen. God that brought us all this far, would most definitely see us through. There is no provision for divorce in my marriage, just love and more love. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Caracta:Sentiments Caracta, sentiments... Are you saying that at 5:30am you don't also see men rushing to work, waiting at BRT parks, and running after a moving danfo? When young men go on expensive trips for vacations, aren't some of them accused of doing yahoo and yahoo plus, or being drug mules? The other day it was people saying that the likes of Olamide, IcePrince, and Wizkid can't be making that much money on singing only...that they must be using their status to move drugs through airports security undetected. But do you see men whinning and complaining? People will always have opinions and talk, that doesn't stop anyone from doing what they want. Is it the fault of men that some women like throwing pity parties to gain sympathy? Don't we also have some women lounging, changing hairstyles every week, watching movies, and waiting on their darling husbands' income? Quit sentiments jor, they always lack balance... 4 Likes |

Crackhaus, I get your point. We don't condemn the men and profess strong hatred for them on social media like they do to us. Even the yahoo boys are celebrated sometimes. We don't carry these things on our heads like crayfish. We live and let live. Let the men do the same. And why can't a woman wait on her darling husband's income? This shouldn't even be a debate. On NL, a week hardly goes by without a thread on Nigerian women this, Nigerian women that. I know it gives you guys a hard-on but just go easy. How many of those threads do we have on men? 7 Likes |

Caracta:I see, so it's the intensity of the threads directed at women that makes you lot come up with stuff.. Okay. Make una begin create una own threads na...the reason these people keep on starting threads might just be because they know it gets to you ladies on NL, have you thought of that? And why can't a man wait for his submissive wife's income? Is she complaining to the Senate committee on women affairs? Some yahoo boys are celebrated because they don't care what people say and will keep popping champagne bottles with yahoo money...

crackhaus: I could go on and on, the Chairperson of First Bank is a woman - Ibukun Awosika, at least three bank CEOs are women, one of whom is the highest paid CEO in Nigeria. We have female senators and members of the house. We have several women entrepreneurs some of whom are very very young. Even young Linda Ikeji just bought a house in Banana Island. Genevieve, Omotola etc are making lots of money from Nollywood. Some choose to marry, some choose to remain single. Oluchi, Agbani and co are making money modeling. Tiwa Savage and Yemi Alade are making money singing. Funke Bucknor and Omolara Akinosho are making money as event planners. Banke Meishida is making money as a make up artist. Tara Fela-Durotoye is even more advanced and has started her own franchise. Yet some lazy women would come here and blame society. The same society that produced Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Diezani, Stella Oduah etc. They should just accept the fact that they haven't discovered their talent in life. I will advice them to go discover their talents and focus on being something in life rather than blaming society. 9 Likes |

coogar: Full stop. Nigeria is hard for everyone. The way they complain, one will think the men live in mansions and the women are internally displaced people. Compared to most other african women, Nigerian women have it relatively easy. When you spend all your time watching Nollywood, Telemundo and Celebrity gossip, how would you become a CEO? When all you know is the latest Brazilian Hair, the latest eye lashes, eye brows, gucci and channel bags, how will you become a successful entrepreneur? If Nigerian women do the right things they will get the right results. Half of them are just looking to marry another rich guy so that they never have to do anything reasonable for themselves. Stop blaming society; take a look at the mirror and ask if you are doing your best. Bunch of hypocrites. 5 Likes |

Women, by virtue of birth, are not status/money conscious, but the environment (Nigeria) they live in has over the years built in them a consciousness to pursue money and status. Being a Nigerian woman is not hard. The hard thing is: trying to live up to what the environment dictates. The rate at which SOME Nigerian women (especially those in the cities) pursue money is disturbing. This trend, if not checked, would lead to more hard times. Why must you buy aso-ebi from all corners of the earth? (Church, School, Street, everywhere). Nigerian women should go and learn from their counterparts in other countries e.g. Germany. Life would be fair to Nigerian women when they stop pursuing money and when they stop giving men the idea that without MONEY, they can't get due respect. Whenever the issue of marriage comes up, the first thing a Nigerian woman reflects on is MATERIAL capacity. This is bad for the society. This greed and love for money is too bad! |
