You are using religion eyes to look at a pagan something. Patriarchal monarchy is solely a religious matter.
Ham began idolatry practice and his grandson Nimrod and his wife took it to another level. However, when Nimrod died, his wife took over and became the overall and supreme deity (mother of God). It was a true life story for your information. Brb battery low

LOL

But is there any culture -- earthly culture free from religion? I don't think so. Even paganism is a religion.

oweniwe:
It all starts with romance... Romance between the man and lady.... The Lady considers the size of the man's pocket while the man examines is she is a "wife material"....

Forget about love.... Men and women marry for various reasons and love is least of them.... People marry because of what the other person has to offer... If u have nothing to offer, you can hardly get married and if what you have to offer dries up after you're married, you're in one kind mind tormenting soup.......!!....

Weeks before the wedding, den no go let person hear word. Pixs of the "lover birds" in romantic poses... Wedding IV.... So much noise and hype..... On the wedding day.... I don't understand how a man who is living in a rented apartment will spend millions on a day event when one can buy a good plot of land outside town for 500k.... Marriage is an investment abi? Spouce dey come and go but your land will always be there.... Well.... After people have helped you eat your money finish.... You will now face one kaind gloomy, boring, and monotonous routine everyday....

For the men, when they can't endure d boring routines anymore, den go begin "waka waka" looking for mistresses.... The mistress will say "let me chop his money and enjoy myself"..... The wife herself who is probably a former mistress herself (beleive me, all dos gals get "history" o) will pouring spit, nagging and cursing.... Shebi you did the same to another woman husband so why you dey vex?
If it is not money issues, it is about sexx, wicked inlaws, unromantic wife, uncaring husband.... bla bla bla.... Then they will come to nairaland looking for advice.... SMH... Abeg carry your cross go meet ur husband/wife.... Nairalanders will make drama out of your "confessions".

Small time.... You go hear fight.... Den seperation.... Then ultimately, divorce.... If you ask how did it happen, they will say "I miss road"......!!....

What irritates me most is the trend of young girls in their teens and early 20s dating married men.... Its like they're having competition.... When they get married and a younger gal does same to their husband, they'll scream blue murder.....!!.... I know you'll say am focusing on the women and leaving the men blameless.... Not really.... If the women don't condone it, men wont do it.... If your elder brother want is having mistress, the wife is the cause... She dont know how to take good care of your brother, she's too old, my brother need young blood..... You too, if your husband "carry woman", u dont know how to take care of your husband and you're getting old..... Lobatan.....!!...

So next time i see those pre-wedding pictures... All those IVs, aso ebi and co... E go be like... Two people are looking for each other's troubles...

Hmmm..... Hmmm

i don't envy them at all. Especially those guys getting married on monthly salary.... Now you're giving her money she's not complaining... If you lose your job and she has to be paying the bills, she will start doing like.. You're a lazy man... All you know is to eat... Am paying all d bills ooo .... E gba mi o .....

When he was taking care of you, when you were eating... You're not lazy... But now he has no job, he is lazy...


* looks right... looks left *
* sees some angry ladies preparing a cricifix *

* takes off my shoes and pick race.....*

You should envy married folks, irrespective of what nightmare most married folks go through. For one, the benefits of marriage outweighs the disadvantages and unmarried folks have more old age crisis than those who married and raised their children.

Coming to your ills against marriage; there are laid down rules for every institution and marriage is no exception. The exchange of vows and the ceremony that followed were down within the umbrella of such rules, be they traditional or religious, or even secular like in court marriage. And within these laid down rules you find that gender roles and responsibilities are well defined. It is when either or both parties abandon or neglect their individual responsibilities that trouble starts coming in.


Secondly, there's nothing good and worthwhile that doesn't require a measure of sacrifice, and marriage requires some good measure of sacrifices to make it work.

There are selfless individuals out there in their good numbers who held out against all odds, weathered the storm, and stood in for their partners until they crossed over trying times and are enjoying the fruits of a happy union.

Marriage is not for everyone, especially the self-centered.

brodalokie:
You will be shocked to realize that, Osiris, Horus or Set were the same person. In the real story, he born on December 25th (some say 17th) and was murdered by angry mobs on June 20th and his mother/wife went to the underworld to bring him back. In Greek culture he became the god of the life and death (underworld), depicted as holding a clock on one hand and sickle on the other (reaper or death), he also the person called Saturn in Rome and in another text as Janus (January or Capricorn beginning from December 21 to January 21).
The one that talks about the Queen of heaven most is the version of Tammuz and Ishtar or Nimrod and Semiramis. There you will find that after Tammuz/Nimrod demise, his mother becomes the supreme ruler and goddess and organized the kingdom more than Tammuz.

Matriarchal monarchy is part and passel of tradition.

Like I said, this is all myth with contradictory and unverifiable accounts.

Culture varries and Matriarchal monarchy do exists in some cultures which are in the very minority, be it in Asia, whether far or near east or middle east or in Africa. But the scope of this topic is limited to the Benin Kingdom.

And as far as divinity goes, the zenith of rulership always have a HE up there with some delegatory lower and less important kingdoms assigned to queens.

brodalokie:
Your history of Set, Horus and Osiris, where did you get it from? Lol
Drop me the link or paste some texts here
How do you mean the history wasn't about Isis?
Are you referring the the 2015 Hollywood movie called "God of Egypt"?

Listen, I can decode from your post that you're a Christian (the deep responds to itself).
Mind you, I am only talking like this because somebody said the Bini tradition is a prototype of ancient Egyptian culture which is guarded jealously. I am trying to open the eyes of all readers here that, a woman was infact the supreme ruler in that culture, so it can still happen here in that case.. You can see how much the Catholic regard the mother of god in their service... Also there were times the Jews worshipped the Queen of heaven.

You make me wonder. It was all about the patriarchal monarchy of ancient Egypt where Isis husband, Orisis reigned as king until he was murdered by his brother, Set who assumed the throne.

Mind you, according to the myth they are all divinities (spirits ). Now Isis, the wife of the slain king, brought the king back to life and they had a son, Set. The purpose was for Orisis to have a successor to the throne. At no one time did Isis assume the position of Pharoah or King or Queen supreme.

She (Isis) being worshiped as part of a deity draws no inference to the subject matter of patriarchal vs matriarchal monarchy.

You're simply out of order juxtaposing them here. If you want to talk about deities, gods and goddesses feel free, but that's not what this topic is all about.

brodalokie:
WWII all occurred by a supernatural design or intelligence. I am very proud my grandpa was a veteran, still have photos in our village house.

Do you think it is possible for Benin to switch on to matriarchal monarchy someday, upon the foundation the males are currently laying down?

The first human civilization in Egypt after the death of Osiris they had Isis elevated to a position even more sacred than her husband-son (Osiris), the mother of god. In the Bible she was worshipped as the Queen of heaven. You can also see an example in the Catholic church.

I don't see the Binis or any other patriarchal monarchy system in Nigeria switching to matriarchal monarchy.

Whatever be the current foundation the males are laying down, doesn't present a valid, spiritually backed opportunity for the female folks to unsurp authority. This is spiritual.

As for Isis, it was never about her. Whatever the myth was. It was about her husband's throne and the rivalry between King Orisis (her husband), her husband's brother and rival to the throne Set, and their son Horus, who later became king.

Metuh:
This country don kuku finish .



We never had it bad like this.

Wrong. It was this bad in 1985, so many witnesses have said.

ednut1:
queen victoria was a man i forgot.

Does it matter who was King or Queen when Britain invaded Nigeria?

What mattered was it was a very long, endless line of male genealogy that laid the foundation and pillars on which the British might and heritage stood.

Too bad Europe lost its finests of the male specie during WW2.

vikkimimi:
And here they are(so-called males) jumping upandan as if this news adds a note to their empty pockets.
Whatever this says, it's their business, one of the reasons civilization will take a very long time to be accomplished in this part of the world.

Actually, the "civilized" countries in that part of the world are experiencing moral decline, breakdown in family values and decline in military strength.

BoneBlogger:
A Nigerian soldier has forced to lament on social media following his alleged maltreatment by his superiors. According to the soldier who schooled in Maiduguri, Borno state, he was maltreated by fellow officers and was left with body marks after being seriously flogged and dealt with.

The young officer who decried the alleged action, wrote in pidgin English;

After faightin nd loosin our life for our country dis wot nigeria army officers ar doin 2 our gallant young soldiers my fellow nd able soldiers all over d country z it fair we need 2 stand nd fight 4 our ryt.......Abi una hear say officer d flog officer

Source; https://www.nationalhelm.co/2018/06/soldier-laments-after-being-flogged-by-his-superiors-see-what-his-body-looks-like.html

Maybe the brutalized soldier was implying officers don't flog officers but can flog civilians.

Whatever the reason for your treatment, you belong to one of the world's most unprofessional armed forces.

Another neo-feminist trying to blur the gender line to her favour.

So she needs a man who stays home and cook for her lazy ass when she returns from work or a man who works and comes home and cook for her?

Hello Ekaite the housemaid, I prophesy your Estheric promotion for your madam has relinquished her exalted position due to her pride.

sydneyboss:
Like I said earlier, your stupidity is forever ignored _keep typing English when you are done ask your parents about anal sex and get your answer from them until then don't quote me again I don't argue with shallow minded people

I knew you never had the mental discipline to carry out your proposed forever ignoring me.

Nah, not with someone like me. Only special peeps can do that. It's either you're made of thick skin that's impervious to my onslaught, or you're damn humble enough to walk away.

But you don't belong in either category. You're a proud, bone-headed, ill-exposed, self-conceited, snotty pig who pokes his prying nose into what goes on under the sheets of a husband and his wife.

That makes you an uncivilized gorilla hiding under the canopy of Christendom.

chrisley:
Sup bro? seems you now have a blog running.. congrats




Abeg you and postmann should free Grammarnazi1 o.. a good job he's been doing actually.. and probably a business oriented venture to attract clients for editing deals

I must confess that I've learnt a thing or two from the grammatical revisal since i started following him

So pls don't kill his vibes

Chrisley, my nigga. It's rude when a stranger elects himself and starts correcting someone else's grammatical errors in a public forum. It's never the time nor place. It's plain stupidity.

It's a public, live interractive forum where people type or spell words in their corrupted forms or abbreviation. It's normal in a setting like this.

Over 90% of his ITK activities are errors already known to the writer who is either too lazy to do proof reading or simply doesn't care that much.

But to have someone in his mold who sidesteps burning issues and start focusing on people's typos from thread to thread is a sure sign of someone who is a depraved lunatic.

GrammarNazi1:
You keep mentioning me. I am on to other important things. It's time to relax, boy. You are just a waste of important space.

You mentioned me first when you felt the need to garner some cheap attention, and there's nothing actually going on about your dreary life.

You're just another nuisance choking the cyberspace with your inferiority complex.

GrammarNazi1:
Your actions online mirror...

Leave the little grammar bloopers, they don't matter here and never will. What matters is you finding a job, a real job.

GrammarNazi1:
You are loquacious. Get productively busy. I corrected your errors. Move on!

Did you just say I should get productively busy??

Hello, Mr butt-rutted, left-behind cyber-dolt who roams this blogosphere like an automated vagabond looking for typos to pick up. Your real life counterparts are picking up recycleable items from human refuse dump, making some little cash for themselves while you spend your youthful hours rummaging through cyber junks looking for typos, going home the same broke, boring bum!

What a wretched mentality!!!

GrammarNazi1:
Are you hallucinating? I corrected your errors. Be grateful!

This is your first attempt at fightback, and guess what? It's as watery as the inferior sperm that formed a mentally imblanced dweeb as yourself.

BadBradley:
All 456 posts marking your engagements on this platform are either in monosyllables or phrases, hoping from section to section correcting the typos or grammatical errors of contributors to topics under discourse without even making any efforts to add to the subject matter!

Are there any insecurities daddy didn't take time to heal in your formative years?

Or do you assume this nauseating attitude will make up for your poor JAMB performance?

Or you think any girl here is going to see you any different from the manic-depressive idiot who is trying too hard to be noticed for another social media look-at-me moment?

All what your behaviour here is screaming is:

"Heeeeeey, everyone, look at me, me me me me me me me, me. You must notice me today".

You need radical therapy to cure your attention deficit syndrome, you effeminate, Nazi Slayqueen!

Now correct my written efforts.

Mumu.

GrammarNazi1:

What's with the dotted response? You need a brighter grammar aided reply?


Next time look carefully before engaging in your jobless-ness-inspired grammar tutorials.

GrammarNazi1:
...I...

An idiot such as yourself with a single-faceted brain must find a dynamic world with multi-talented individuals quite intimidating.

How else can one explain your narcissistic personality disorder in going from thread to thread pointing out typos and grammatical errors without so much as to engage in the subject matter?

You must be a boring, broke bum.

sydneyboss:
This is how human beings fail, I asked you to quote that place in the Bible not to tell me what I already know _pls just don't quote me anymore cos it's obvious your mentality is low ....I knew you will come spill the thrash you typed _keep fooling yourself

Forever ignored Mr _

With reference @ the boldened:

Your brain must be oozing vital cerebrospinal fluid when you claim you aksed me to quote anything from the bible.

You can't even anchor your self-righteous albeit wild postulation on any scripture berth yet you're talking about low mentality. Your intellectual hypocrisy stinks to the high heavens.

21st century Pharisee!

GrammarNazi1:
...volatile...
...she seems...

With the risk of coming off as ungrateful and too proud to accept correction, i must tell you that your "correction" was unnecessary.

And to think about the fact that that was all your contribution here, damn!! You must be one aimless vagabond several miles off the tangent of his true purpose.

sydneyboss:
Mr true prophet like I said keep waiting for the Bible to teach you everything , f**k your wife through anal it's non of my biz ...


Did the Bible also tell you about the man God killed for refusing to release in his brother's wife? Keep deceiving yourself

I was actually waiting for you to take this cheap turn and you didn't disappoint.

Onan was slain for refusing to fulfill the law which required a brother to marry the widow of his late brother who had no son, so that the late brother could have a child through the brother who's alive. While, he actually married her and had sex with her through her vagina, he wasn't ready to give his late brother any child.

Your ridiculous scriptural submission bears no correlation with the subject matter. It's just another wayward attempt by a poorly articulated Christian swinging his legalistic wand like a poorly trained wizard under apprentice.

Once again, i charge you, get your snorty nose off the bedroom affairs of a man and his wife, you prig.

sydneyboss:
Wait for the Bible to teach you everything

You were speaking for GOD without a valid source to authenticate your priggish postulation.

I charge thee false prophet, hold thy peace.

obidevine:
You're right about her being hot tempered , but I love her so much.

It's a plus for you loving her. You ought to. But you must know or learn how to unleash the other side of love -- the manly side of love by being firm and resolute in bringing her back to sanity when she acts irresponsibly. Let there be consequences when she persistently steps out of line and follow through with a corresponding disciplinary measures. This could be by withdrawal from things she enjoys doing with you.

Women can't help but love and respect a man who can demonstrate the both sides of love. You can't afford to be soft with her dark side all the time, bro.

obidevine:
Hi Nairalanders , I need some mature responses .

Anytime I and my wife have a quarrel or a verbal altercation she tends to remove her ring for a few days.

Please what could this mean or how do I address this. It really gets me thinking.

Cc : lalasticlala, mynd44, seun, obinoscopy

It's a sign of her volitile mind regarding your marriage and as a result she can be vulnerable and likely to do crazy and regrettable things during such moments.


She seem to be a rash and hot tempered individual. Treat her with caution, before she does something real stupid.

A man aint supposed to carry all a woman's responsibility because they are dating....

Unfortunately, and contrary to some opinion, the lady that wrote that teamwork list isn't really a helper but a competitor. A typical 21st century woman with a twisted sense of equality.

sydneyboss:
Dude just STFU , too much porn is bad... How can anal sex be legitimate before God . Damn! How did we get here?

Question is, how does anal sex between a man and his wife illegitimate or wrong before GOD?

You'd need to provide scriptural support to back up your prudish assertion.

Graxie:
The man quoting me, please read my post again. I am against anything anal, save your warped story about her body being his own and vice versa. Reprobates, twisting bible for their own gain. Anus has slacked, Oga needs to know if someone else is spicing his anus. The only way to spice sex is via Anus. Jesus have mercy, I pity the classless woman. Abeg madam, sow the anus for him. He can poke your anus but his is safe and you call it love. Until ward 9 reject you.

I wonder from which side of the feminist divide you sprang from.

The man is the fvcker and you, the woman the fvckie. You're created with a sexual vacuum meant to be occupied by a rock solid shaft. Whether it's the muff or the anus, it's irrelevant as long as the sex is legitimate before man and GOD.

Your lack of sexual dynamism is a pointer to your frigidity

MarieSucre:
As long as the woman is allowed to do backdoor too? It's called "pegging" and there must be equality in marriage.

Oh, pegging, had to check that up. And i can't believe your absurdity.

It takes two genetically compromised schmucks with gender identity crisis to engage in "pegging"

What type of fake boxers does he have on?

In the year 2013, I had a bedspread.
And I'm afraid to say that this dead guy's boxers looks just like my old bedspread.

From a wide rang of pressing issue on the subject matter, you picked on the most trivial of all -- his underwear.
