Don't be daft. If a man asks me on a date, why should I pay? Was I not sitting down in my house minding my business when he came and asked me to go to a restaurant with him?

If I ask a man on a date, then I fully plan to pay for him and myself because I am the one that asked him out.

You silly men are too full of yourselves. You need to eat a HUGE slice of humble pie.

Can I just point something out?

All these people using passages from the Bible to justify women being submissive to men, remember that your arguments are based on the assumption that everyone here is Christian, Muslim, or Jewish. If even one person is not one of the above three religions, then your arguments don't mean poo.

Your wife is your lover and life partner, not your housekeeper, slave, or servant. Just as you washed your own clothes in secondary school and college, so too did she. Just as you go to work and come back tired, so too does she. Men are not better than women. Men are not more special than women that they deserve to rest while women continue to slave away. Men are not more deserving than women and women nine times out of ten work ten times harder than most men do.

If anything, if we were to argue this at all in any way, it is women who are far more special than men. It is women who deserve better than men do. It is women with the ability to create and protect life and for that among other things women should be respected and revered by men. Women should not be slaving about for men. On the other hand men should be running around trying to see what they can do to make the women in their lives more comfortable.

The real problem here is that lots of men here are ungrateful pricks. That same wife that you are trying to force to wash your clothes is going to support you, often putting her own dreams on hold so that she can prop up yours, applaud your sorry antics in bed, carry your progeny for nine months, suffer to give birth to them, run around to take care of them while you ungrateful idiots posture and puff up your over inflated egos, and still juggle working to contribute to your life together, and you cannot find it in yourselves to express your gratitude for once and do your own bleeping laundry

You men should be ASHAMED of yourselves. ASHAMED and CONTRITE. If women didn't put up with all your bullshit what would you do? What? If all the women in the world today decided that they were done giving a poo about men, what the hell would you all do besides sit on the floor and cry?

This attitude is DISGUSTING. You were not born with a female servant conjoined to your hip. You are able bodied and have all your limbs and abilities so YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES. If you want someone to do your laundry so badly then bleeping employ a servant that will bow to you and say 'yes sah!' You men act as if you are doing women a favour by marrying them. And I bleeping blame Nigerian women that act as if marriage is a do or die affair. It is because Nigerian women have been trained to be so desperate to be married that Nigerian men think they can treat women like poo. Marriage is not about men doing women a favour. Marriage is about two people that love each other choosing to share their lives with each other. Marriage is not the hiring of another domestic servant.

And as for all of you, claiming that women should happily potter about the house while their fat, lazy husband relaxes, tell me, who the hell finds joy in servitude? You? I sure as bleep don't. Women have AS MUCH RIGHT to chase their dreams as men do. You only live one life, and who the bleep are you to tell women to spend their ONE PRECIOUS LIFE playing slave to some silly man while he achieves what HE wants to achieve. We are just as human as you are, and we deserve just as much happiness and freedom as you do. And as long as women bleed red and piss yellow just the same as men then bleep whoever says we're not entitled to every right and freedom men have. Humility my bleeping backside. Why the bleep can't men be humble? Why the bleep should only women be humble? Who the bleep are you? Are you gods? Is there any special power you all have that we don't know about yet? Who the bleep entitled you to pride and accomplishment and relegated us to humility and mediocrity?

Bullshit. You can't do your own laundry. Who the bleep are you? You try to giving birth to a child or having periods and then come back and tell me that you are too big to do your own laundry. bleep and worrahell.

"Her husband is known in the gate, when he sitteth among the elders of the land" proverb.31vs 23. If you dont do your duty as a wife, people outside will know what he has in the house as a wife. Afterall , you dont wash everyday.

@Theblessed,
you sound pissed off. . .don't take their rubbish too serious. A lot of men are just lazy. You try sef with that your laundry basket suggestion. In my opinion, he should participate in the washing as well, not just put the clothes in the basket. I don't mean he has to wash with me at the same time though. I mean he should help with the washing; take over the work entirely, once in a while.
@Topic,
this dehumanization of women has to stop. It has dragged on for so long. It hurts me to see men arguing that there is no reason whatsoever for them to assist their wives at home.

SEFAGO:
This is a serious matter. Infact I feel this is a conspiracy by the american government to show nigerian men have small . They staged this to shame us in front of the international community. resist 3-d scan dont let ypur 3-inches be an airport statistic.

nigerian guys and their egos! u guys should stop getting angry because this is true. if u don't have body/mouth odour u probably know someone else that does. don't trivialize this issue because it is serious and it can be reversed. anyone can have body odour if they don't clean up daily. and i like to believe that a few days of proper hygiene can reverse it. u don't have to be rich, just ensure u wash your armpits, privates, between your toes and behind your ears properly when u bathe. and use a deodorant! u dont need perfume, in fact perfume can't prevent body odour.

i've noticed this body odour thing in both guys and girls but most of the time, like 90% is with guys. i think many guys don't bathe daily. but really it's bad, i don't know if it's because we go to boarding schools or kids don't learn good hygiene at home. but many 9ja guys don't bathe daily they just spray perfume. i have several guy friends that have bad body odour and they dress very well and some are even handsome. the body odour is just a big putoff, especially when it is combined with mouth odour.

it's more annoying to me when i see a guy with body and/or mouth odour hugging/kissing his girlfriend. because i know it must be irritating to the girl, i don't know why girls can't make their guy perform the necessary daily hygiene exercises. it seems the person who has it cannot smell it so they need someone close to them to tell them.

yEP JUST LIKE yARADUA was chosen by Nigerians like you as your post below indicates  

You guys in nIGERIA decided to choose a GRADUATE PRESIDENT, so you guys deserve the result of an administration headed by an SICKLY PROVINCIAL executive. His aura and demeanor is indicative of his constituents. He was chosen by people from NIGERIA, whether through a democratic election or by the legislature!

how i wish we have this man in Oyo state,   rather than a tout who is parading himself as our governor,

Kobojunkie:
I wasn’t offering you a strawman so I see no reason why you should consider it such. The authorities listened to him and hence the reason why his name was even on the watch list in the first place. But again, without solid evidence, there was no way of taking it further than that, which is what we know happened.




Agreed that He is not an expert but WE KNOW that drug traffickers are detected daily across the world, by the same NORMAL inspection, as the person stated. In fact, sniffers do a good job of this at some airport so the person does not have to be an EXPERT to tell us what we already know happens across the world, to date. In fact, we do know that NIGERIANS are high on the list of potential drug traffickers, and are sometimes subjected to even more vigorous searches across the world for just that reason.

They were NOT AWARE of his RADICALLIZED Behavior. Please let us stop jumping ahead of ourselves here. The Father called in making a CLAIM with no evidence. And the Authorities had no solid evidence to go by before this act.

What is your problem? You are now saying his father made the claim without evidence. How do you know that? Are you the father who was dealing with his son's behavior? The father stated that his son's behavior was of serious concern to him and he has been radicalized. For example, behaviors such as going to Yemen and sending text messages stating that he was going on a course of Islam was sufficient for the father to conclude of his son's radicalized behavior. You have started fabricating and saying stuff you no know nothing about. You don't even know if the father provided any direct evidence to the embassy. The father's statement, anyway, is circumstantial evidence, which is sufficient to make the U.S. act

HUH?? Dude, quite coming up with these ridiculous analogies! It is not on the same level at all. Legally revoked his Visa with NO EVIDENCE? Do you know what that could mean here? We are saying this in a world were people who were detained in Guantanamo with next to no evidence have been known to have sued the same government and won?

What do you know about International Law? From the looks of it, nothing! Yes you can legally revoke a visa with circumstantial evidence that shows that he was linked to Al Qaeda. Since traveling to a country of which you are not a national is not a right, the country that granted the Visa can revoke your visa or deny you a visa for any reason whatsoever including but not limited to circumstantial evidence of ties to Al Qaeda. Obviously, even if the father did not provide any direct evidence to the U.S. initially, all the U.S. had to do was to ask the father to provide direct evidence (if any was available) that will be used to substantiate his (the father) claim. You will not expect that people who make such claims will have more than circumstantial evidence; I mean, do you want his father to provide video tapes or recorded conversations?
