You can say that again. That's Gods standard, the maker, owner and possessor of heaven and earth and all in it. You cannot argue with Him, you a mere mortal with just breath in your nostrils.
Only what He declares stands.
I just laugh at human beings.
I just laugh at you grin grin grin

She is British not Nigerian or African. She does not live in a society that treats unmarried women with scorn. Some women don't even want marriage. In 1st world countries, people don't treat women like they have committed a crime due to their single status.

You may not agree with her opinion but the lady has spoken her mind. You are the one that will end up miserable since you come from a 3rd world country where religious terrorism and fulani herdsmen will soon wipe you people out of existence while this lady will keep chilling in England and living her life as she sees fit.

If you like, don't go and make sure Buhari does not remain your country's president for another 4 years. Keep worrying about what some stranger is saying online.
Savage as they come.... *faints* embarassed

Xisnin:
Humans no longer have to fight predators, so raw strength is mostly irrelevant for leadership these days,
that is why huge built men are saying "yes sir" to Tinubu in Lagos.


These are traditions, they prove nothing.


That is the accidental legacy of the stone age, we are now in the 21st century.


If through unexpected circumstance, your wive became the primary provider for some time,
would you abdicate your leadership position?
Would you switch roles with her and start to do the cooking, chores and all the rest?
If your answer to the two questions above is no, then being a primary provider does not make one gender
superior to the other.


Again, this is the result of the stone age legacy, there is no intrinsic reason why an husband shouldn't
be recognised. I am sure you have heard of Tbillz?
Even the unknown fiancee of Linda Ikeji will eventually become a celebrity courtesy of his wife.


The only constant thing in life is change, anything can be changed to some extent, it just requires strong will and a smart campaign.
All families are not equal, there are very few 100% patriarchal family in reality, even husbands that get bullied at home will also
claim that he is the man of the house in public.
[/s]
Uncle all your words can be summarized into "rebellion against nature and reality".

It is okay to rebel, even those that practice and advocates homosexuality and other shii are rebels to natural and social order. It is within your right to protest but unfortunately, it doesn't change a thing.

Meanwhile, being "primary" provider doesn't mean being sole provider. If by some arrangement the man is handicapped in any was and the wife earn, it simply means she is acting her role as "helper/support" to the man however it still doesn't make the man not to have the responsibility of being sole provider. If a family starve nobody will blame the wife even if she is an Alakija, all pointer will be to the man. Yes, the MAN!!!

Meanwhile, I don't discuss personality but in case you don't know, TBills (or whatever) brought Tiwa to limelight as her manager but the weakling abdicated his Husband role of provider to Tiwa (perhaps he's one of your kind) and that contributed to collapse of the home.

Whoever isn't in agreement with the natural and social order can keep protesting but it will NEVER change a thing.

I'm done with you Sir on this subject...

Are you sure you quoted the right person?
To answer what you posted some women ar already doing that so what is your point?
And do you know if she doesn't do that already?
If she is already doing it ...who cares really...no be by ranting on social media...women don de do Tay...I already acknowledged that on my other post.

My point is...if you want to be the head...have what it takes and assume the damn role.

Or do you want the Bible to be rewritten or constitutions amended to that effect?

Like I said...no argument here...

It's her view but that doesn't stop the fact that men are the head of the home.

Her type when it comes to financial aspect would leave the man to do all of it but for domestic aspect would expect the same to wash plate, cook meal and wash her underwears.

I hope this will be a pointer that guys should avoid these categories of frustrated ladies. When she clocks 40yrs of age, Humility will knock at her door when no guy approach her
You have beef with this girl? You know her from somewhere? Is 40 like 100 yrs in your language and culture? Don't tarnish people with the same brush... 40 year old single people in the west are lite! 40 is the new 20 over here tongue

Women are already doing it even some men shouting headship cannot say a thing at home especially if their wives are the breadwinners.No need bringing in the bible I do not belong to pre historic times so take your confusion out of my mention.

Just say you couldn't counter it no need bringing objectives here because you yourself was not objective in your post.
Counter ?? who..?? The lady or you?? Me I no come fight ooooo... e be like say u be lawyer. It's like u are on leave...u are looking for small talk...no worries..I get small time... ...

That lady up there only dropped an opinion that was open....making it easy for any one to conclude anything about her.......because i couldn't even say she was a feminist, or a biblical antogonist..

for starters Christianity is not the only relegion with views of men being head over the home...clearly she is either deluded, lack of knowledge or both...

I suggested she's damaged psychologically because her point sounded to me like something drawn from the premise of long standing bad luck with men maybe father inclusive, boss at the office and so on and just wanted to hide behind religion

For thousands of years before religion, men have been the boss of homes, relegion ddnt force women under men, alot of women just never tried to become anything other baby making factories in the past, the sit in their fathers homes and wait for a man to come buy them off and they are still being bought of in the east..
And when they started trying to become something ..here we are...

If she wants the tables turned in her own home, fine let her lord over her husband and if it's equality she's advocating for..and if shes against the Bible style that says respect ur husbanda...then she should not...let's see how far her marriage will go.

the concept of head in a marriage is for peace and order not to show which gender is better or which gender can provide...and the roles can easily be switched without anyone making a show of it...

To me, I feel this kinda lady is the type that her husband will loose job and the whole Nigeria will know she's the bread winner feeding the home...

As for u, there's nothing to counter.

England indeed. England where a woman earning 1.2m naira monthly dares not buy a car. She spends 500k on gas, tax, electricity in a month. She can't buy a car because compulsory car insurance is 200k per month. England has no natural resources but bullies other countries to have her needs met. A curse, not a nation.

Okay

Freedom of expression

Please let's not be abusive in our comments let's respect others views she stated her opinion and is free to do so

Agree or disagree respectably

I disgaree men being the head has no correlation with men and women being equal

I believe we are both equals men and women

Your wife is your partner and stands beside you not behind you

But you as the man you lead be the rock and shield for your wife and your children

For example your boss is your head in the office but you are both equals as employees of the company in that you both oay tax, you both has tasks yet he or she is your superior you won't go saying because you are both staff he or she should take on the same responsibility as you (that would be career suicide)

So while you are the head she isn't your surbordinate she is your rib , your best friend your sister your mother
Your world not your slave

Nuff said
Very well said sir. We need mature people like this on nairaland.

It's a free world but there's no need claiming to be a Christian when you don't want to abide by the tenets of the Christian faith. Saying that a lot of biblical concepts do not reconcile with today's reality and that you have to use interpretations to work out which ones you will deem appropriate is just creating your own fantasy. You don't pick and choose which part of God's word you obey according to your own whims and caprices. No one is forcing you to be a Christian or live by the Bible tenets. But when you chose to be a Christian and abide by the Bible, then you must know that you have to be completely obedient to God's instructions in the Bible. A half obedient Christian is just wasting his or her time. Choose ye this day whom you will serve, you can't serve God and Mammon at the same time!
Why then are you not advocating for slavery? isn't it endorsed in the Bible? every Christian I know picks and chooses then criticise other Christians for picking and choosing differently this is why we have 30,000 (Thirty Thousand) different Christian sects

But this is what I love about Christianity; there are so many Christians out there calling other Christians ignorant and heretical. Christianity right now is a cacophony of conflicting messages all of which claim to be representing the truth of God.
