Timbuktou:For things to change for the better the West has to realise that they cannot continue on this path of ultra-liberalism and permissiveness. They must mount a strong defence for the values that thousands of their people fought and died for over millennia. They will have to take sterner positions on how immigration is regulated realising that many of the people they open their doors to do not share the same values and belief systems like them. In fact the value systems of many of these immigrants are diametrically opposed to theirs – and this difference leads to a whole lot of conflict which can only be dealt with directly and boldly. This in turn means that as a region they must elect leaders who have the guts to address the issues head on instead of skipping around the main problem by trying to “play nice and not offend any demographics”. Staying the present course things will only get worse for the West, we will continue to see more of these Brussels and Paris styled attacks in the future. It also very likely that there will be continued reports of sexual assaults like the case in Cologne (which interestingly the MSM was reluctant to pick up on in the beginning). Just consider the implications: Germany, under Merkel, opened its doors to about a million refugees in the span of a few months. These refugees, many of who are men within military fighting ages, all come from a culture that promotes a conformist and aggressive ideology. They enter into a society where the women brazenly display their sexuality and the men are reduced to beta status and you think these guys will play nice? |

ApexTitan:It's a crazy thing what leftists are up to? Multiculturalism is a problem, one only needs to look at Nigeria and Africa to notice that. However, as with all other leftist pursuits; feminism, gay rights, gay marriage, et al, it's poorly thought out. There's been no consideration of its long term effects and costs. Liberalism and leftist politics is majorly sentimental and feelings based nonsense with no regard for fact which is a dangerous proposition. However, i think they are beginning to receive sense as these clowns repeatedly show what stuff they're made of. One just hopes it wont be too late. Meanwhile, checkout more leftist ridiculosity: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3506491/Emory-president-Students-scared-Trump-2016-chalk-signs.html |

ApexTitan, I don't see any European leaders address your concerns in the nearest future. They are more about political correctness, "intangible reputation" and winning elections than doing what is right. Over the years, France relapsed her laws to accommodate extremism in a bid to be politically correct to some countries and cultures, the result is what we have today. If peace must be preserved, some iota of sentiments and human feelings have to give way for the greater good of all. As it is, it will continue until the fundamentals like immigration policy are addressed. In other news, happy Easter to all. |

Timbuktou:Our educational system is in serious trouble, they mould kids minds and feed them lies I completely agree with that comment in the article. The product of these touchy-feely ideologies that have no grounding in reality is a generation of wussies and weaklings as exemplified by those Emory students. After a while one can no longer feel sorry for them especially when reality in all its gritty glory comes calling. @Bellong For now the majority of European leaders are liberal-socialist leaning politically correct automatons so expectations that they will deal decisively with this problem are low. * The best of Easter to you all! |

[color=#000033] Guys, @ApexTitan, I Bellong , Timbuktu, Pickabeau1, so should we agree Nigeria/Africa is the best place to raise kids? Seeing alot of anormally in the child system here in the US, and somehow a part of me is beginning to resent the value system being fed into the psyche of these kids. My three year old nephew who just got to US in January got back from school and decided to call his grandma her first name ystday. It is acceptable here but I felt a bit angered cos it's just the beginning of many things /changes to happen to this Naija born kid. It's just pathetic in my opinion. [/color] |

RoyalRoy:Well..it depends In that same place..some don't call parents by name It's about boundaries |

@RoyalRoy, while arguments can be made for and against each society, the buck stops with the minders of the child. If the Asians in America haven't done away with their cultures, we've got no excuse to not maintain and refine ours as Africans. That child should have been corrected, but it seems like she's got no boundaries even. Believe me, even in the US many white parents will not stand for such disrespect, forget what Hollywood depicts. My philosophy on child rearing is to pick the best from all sides and try to discard what's harmful. The problem most Nigerians have is we have no sense of pride in ourselves and culture. White is right, so anything wey oyibo do na helele, na to follow remain. |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by ApexTitan(m): 2:25am On Mar 27, 2016 |
^^ @RR. That's basically my position. Parents have the ultimate responsibility in how children are raised and that's something that cannot be outsourced or delegated to any society, Nigerian or foreign, without consequences. |

Mutaino7:Its a crazy world bro! Can't speak your mind anymore. Anyway Djokovic put it aptly the Men need to fight for more pay! The women did. More people watch male tennis, its of a higher quality and they play for far much longer. I don't know if the men don't want to be seen as sexist and are trying to be PC but its a huge load of B.S if you ask me. |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by A40(m): 11:10am On Mar 28, 2016 |
RoyalRoy:Lol even Americans don't do that. Obviously the parents aren't doing their duty and there is a dysfunction somewhere. How does the kid even know her first name to begin with? |

Kimoni:A woman becoming more successful than a man doesn't get at men in anyway, it is what happens after that success/wealth that is the problem. How most women handle that success that is the problem. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,Obiageli Ezekwesili are married yet we barely know their husbands. |

As the man of the house I would try to make an income that can take care of my family as long as my health permits Its possible my wife makes more than me which I wont have a problem with as long as what I make can take care of my family If she adds her own to improve our lifestyle that would be welcome but the basics I can provide on my own |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by Kimoni: 7:02pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
edwife:Right here babe, sorry, was shutting down... |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by Kimoni: 7:07pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
raumdeuter:Exactly, and this is my model. Provide the basic needs; if she needs to add any jara to the basics that you have provided, be my guest. Dayo, let me take this further, if Peradventure you are not able to provide for a period of time due to circumstances beyond your control and your wife become the breadwinner, infact, at this point, her career is soaring and your own plans to make it just seem to be falling to pieces, would you feel deflated in any way? |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by Kimoni: 7:11pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
edwife:Edwife, this your response is making me suspect you oo cuz it's very familiar. I'll watch out for you henceforth in our .... Back to topic - how is a woman supposed to behave after her new found wealth/fame? Should she turn to a dummy in the house? Suppress her voice and her rights just so it won't appear she is taunting her husband with her wealth? What is the expectation exactly? |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by Nobody: 7:31pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
Kimoni: Would you feel threatened in any way or feel like your manhood has been taking away if your wife becomes the breadwinner?Hello Kimoni, I wouldn't feel threatened or assume my manhood is lost in this situation. As long im healthy, this would be a temporary situation. My sister, no possibility of suicide o. Killing myself doesn't solve nothing. Like Edwife said, the problem is in how women comport themselves when they are the breadwinners or earn more. Most women would look down on their husbands and disrespect them if they paid the bills. Men know this and would rather avoid the drama. Men value respect more than love. |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by Kimoni: 7:43pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
Timbuktou:I don't think that any woman, sorry, sane woman will naturally start to disrespect her husband just because she is wealthier. We advise women to pamper their hubbies when they get back from work, feed them, massage them etc so why isn't a man expected to perform these same functions when the woman is the breadwinner? Instead, she is expected to perform his roles, her roles and also go the extra mile not to make him feel she is performing his roles and hell is let lose when she seems to be failing in any of these. Sounds crazy to me... It's looking like a lose-lose situation for a successful married woman. |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by raumdeuter: 9:03pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
Kimoni:Unless I have health issues or some other extra ordinary condition, I would try to always provide the basic for myself and my kids, Its always deflating for an adult not to be able to take care of himself or herself even as a 22yr old University student having to ask your parents and you're getting lectures on this and that Most men dont have a problem with women making morebecause all over the world we see men sacrificing to elevate the finances of their wifes, the Ibo man in Alaba sending his girlfriend to University, the man who sends his wife to nursing school etc Its the behavior post success that is usually the issue |
| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by raumdeuter: 9:08pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
Kimoni:Because many women dont know how to manage success. And its in most womens nature to try to go the extra mile to assert their authority even when no one is challenging them Thats why MIL vs wife issues are more common compared to husband vs FIL, Madam vs Housegirl compared to Oga vs driver. The moment most women become breadwinners thats when they start reminding the husband who pays the bills every other day something overwhelming majority of men do without complaining Whatever you achieve in your career, Its stops outside the door of the house, when you get home, you are expected to be Mrs and Mommy not Minister of Finance or Professor of Pharmacy |

| Re: Boys Night Out Discussions by Nobody: 9:58pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
Kimoni:To the contrary, that is a natural female response in such situations. Billions of men have had to come to terms with that the hard way. Women who know and would do better are in the extreme minority. Interestingly, men and women seem to require different things from each other, and seem equipped to fulfil different desires in the opposite gender. A man isn't designed to wait on his partner yet he craves to be waited on. If a man is not lazy but has financial problems, the last thing a woman wants to do is carelessly reminds him he's not performing his roles. Many women have learned, to their chagrin, the folly of taking that path. Black America is a perfect example. Poverty is akin to incapacity and mocking a man for his lowly station is as sinning against the Holy Spirit, unforgivable. Noone makes fun of the disabled. There is no time a man is more vulnerable than when he considers himself a failure or inferior. He must be handled with the utmost care.A breadwinning, successful woman will be happy when she knows how to handle her poor husband. He would do all the things she wants if she remembers her place as wife and his as husband. |

Would you feel threatened in any way or feel like your manhood has been taking away if your wife becomes the breadwinner? Is there a possibility you'll become suicidal if she's making it more than you are? And if not, what exactly is the problem with a woman becoming more successful than the man that seems to get at men so much?@ Kimoni, lol.. Here goes. I have no problem being with a woman who becomes more successful than I am, I really don't - I love me some independent ambitious woman, not leeches...and this is not because I need her money for myself, but because I would respect her more. Now herein lies the problem, and if you're being honest you would admit it unless you haven't seen it firsthand but I have. As you know, women by default want to be pampered and cared for...one way y'all measure how well you're being catered for is by how well your men give treats, gifts, and basically surprise y'all (physical well being and all). It is your natural state to want to look up to your spouses in almost every way - intellectually, physically, financially, etc. It isn't uncommon meeting women who don't change when they start earning more, but it's much more common meeting those who do. And the reason for this is basic - they suddenly are not looking up to their man financially and possibly intellectually, since a woman's measure of a man's intellect goes hand in hand with how much money he has. The average woman as a result of this will start to feel like, well since this man used to be the one getting the most cheddar and getting all the respect for it, perhaps it's time I start getting more respect around here for earning more than he does... And then before you know it, she's raising her voice over little disagreements and behaving in ways that start to seem different. I know it's possible that the man is overthinking and feeling insecure, but that's what most women still don't understand. Almost every man in that situation will start to feel a little insecure because in our minds, our natural instinct is to be the sole provider and protector over our women. So kimoni, NO my manhood won't be taken away from me neither will I become suicidal if my wife becomes more successful than I am...but then again, I'm not every man and can't speak for them all. |
