True or not? As a male child, life had been fun, at least for some, you enjoy childhood, playing football and having fun, with little to no pressure about getting rich.
But as you clock 20 or thereabout, you begin to feel the heat. Everyone now begins to see you as a consumer. And the only value you can get right now is to be rich.
Is this true or not?

Same society made the female humans useless without gbola. As a woman, no matter how beautiful, successful, influential or educated you are, you still need a gbola to compliment your usefulness.


Let's not argue about this please, we're adults here.

What is the man offering apart from money?

I think it is more about the individual man.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Jesus poor? And if so, was he without value?

money or no money we get value

Klass99:


Lol, nairalanders and savage responses sef! I like But, to be fair Jesus was and still is, both God & man.

@ Kriss, you failed to answer the question and went on a different tangent altogether.

You know you're the ones who need to use that gbola more than us. And when the gbola rise, una no dey get sense at all that time. I lie

Being gbola free has been one of the best decisions of my life, I like the benefits of it. Meanwhile your gbola swinging people are the ones constantly trying to show me the gbola and use it on me, dem use that thing swear for you people?

But see you! 'Being gbola free has been one of the best decisions of my life.'

What about Gandhi? He wasn't both but the whole world paid tribute when he died. To a 'little man' in linen clothes.

But the society doesn’t see it that way. If you don’t have money, people will Not really respect you.

You have a very valid point with Gandhi!

I have male friends who have impacted me positively through their advice or input on things.

Like, when I needed an AC Technician, a plumber and help picking out a TV (as I know very little about good technology) my friend came through for me.

In fact, he helped me locate my current accommodation and always negotiates prices with artisans before sending them to me (because they can be funny at times)

I place a high value on him and our friendship, his impact in my life has been more valuable than money.

You should try going gbola free (if you're not already) you may just like it better than me.

One's material wealth is not a measure of one's humanity and inherent values. I know we live in a vain world but it does not make it less true and all this vanity causes a lot of suffering and will cause even more suffering. The problem is when people have nothing else to offer than money or beauty. Then it is very easy and recommendable to go gbola free.

A man's value is immaterial. Even money can't buy

Only if you know the power of money. Just imagine what a Jeff Bezos can do with $200b. He can even buy a country with her citizens included

What exactly is this value that men have?

A man is a poor man without money

Brothers, please make some money or at least try to. Be your own person and be able to hold your own.

Anyone who tells you that money doesn't give you value, run from them...run very far from them. They can't be trusted.

Mention the values

money only gives you power, influence and prestige. Value is inherent

I think it is more about the individual man.

Men offer three important securities to women.

1. Financial security
2. Emotional security
3. Physical security

in the other hand, women just offer one thing and that is sexual gratification (sex) and nothing more.

False assertion.
A man with or without money is the most valued asset in the world. Money only compliments the value of men.

In a society where poverty reigns.

It would seem so that a man is only loved for what he can provide not who he really is.

I thinks it's the curse of being a Man. It all started the day Adam ate from what eve gave him.

Technically.. yes but by God's standard, no.
Every one has some potential in them that makes them valuable. They only need to discover it and be rightly connected or postitioned.

Money.
There is something that we use to represent Value in most human societies. This is Money. While Money has almost no inherent value in and of itself yet it is accorded value by social agreement. The things that we really value are Food, Shelter, Status, Sex, Time, Labour etc etc etc...

However we can all agree to represent 3 hours of human labour with £100 of money. We can agree to represent the value of a delicious meal at a restaurant with £50. etc etc....

However there is a problem with Money as with all representations, there is also the danger that far from accurately representing value, it can actually distort value. Money allows for the distortion and misrepresentation and eventual demise of our Value system, whatever it may be for each of us.

A man works hard and adds value to his society and commensurate to that he makes a lot of Money.

Another man steals the same amount of money and adds no value to his society. Are they to be ranked the same? Do both men have the same value to society?

What about the man that sells Crack cocaine in his community? He is involved in an activity that actually destroys this community, that destroys value. Yet the monetary rewards for such a
destruction of Value are immense. Has Money not totally subverted the Values of that community?

It is very dangerous to hold money in any regard without thinking about what is real in terms of actual Values that we and our communities deem as Good. Just wanting to make money without any idea of how you want to create Value is a Toxicity to any community you are a part of.

This post is a reflection of a female-imperative society with misplaced priorities...
A society where a man's value is placed only on his resources that benefits the female...
They'll ignore your mental, educational,pschological, physical and every other phase of your life that doesnt benefit females and focus ONLY on your finances....
Anyways...you only hear this nonsense when you roll with Low self-esteemed men and women looking for men to infuriate their already bruised ego ..
GL

The qualities you listed are remarkable but they aren't the most fundamental a man should possess. Also, note that this phase is only attributed to sexual interpersonal relationship between couples. Even when parties in a relationship aren't married, a lot of women are willing to overlook the execess of a man if he is capable of providing all her needs. It is also in line with the global patriarchy structure of the world that places man at the summit of the pyramid.

There is a time-honoured Igbo adage, which says that "the beauty of a man is money." While not underrating other sterling features a man possesses, and being aware of the advantages it confers on women as the second-in-command, money is supreme in the life of man.

That's not true, once you make yourself relevant in the family settings you will be needed at all times

But if you don't impact yourself into people's lives, of what use will your presence be

I know you're trying to make a sensible point though. But Jesus was not poor. He wore one of the best coats of his time. Reason why they casted lot for his garment.
