Tomorrow when a nigerian in the diaspora will tell you Nigeria is shait,a useless piece of poo ,una go wan kill am
USA wants to probe a Nigerian in his own sovereign nation you folks are rejoicing
I wonder why the news media here is yet to carry this news
Could it be because it's a total fabrication?
Anything to titillate the ears of the suffering and smiling masses

jpphilips: I know a lot of offices where a woman can start as a field operative within which she cannot have a child, for the company in question, that period will last for 3.5yrs, before she now ges to the next step.
was Nigerian banks using pregnant women for marketing before now? so how will you allow your wife to get pregnant knowing she is a marketer?
There are some offices you are not entitled to leave until after you have put in a year of service, so where will the maternity leave come from should you get pregnant?
some will tell you that you are entitled to 3months mat leave then half day till six months, they hire another corper to continue her work.
it has to be once in 3yrs. so how many kids will you have in that condition?
my dear the OP doesnt know sh!t what the real world smells like, most women who gave up and stayed at home equally have good reasons, the OP just needs to hear their side of it.
i didnt mention the harassment part did i?
OP is a toddler

People can make wishes,but is that the reality on ground?
How many nigerian men can afford a non working wife?
Not many
My sister in law was transferred by a bank she works for to another city not minding that she was a married woman with small kids
If she quit her job and stayed home ,the OP and her co travelers would call her a gold digger scared of working abi?
I have friends and classmates that have quit their high paying bank jobs in big cities because they couldn't cope with working,picking up the kids and the demands of family.
By the time you get two queries,the third you are shown the door and you are forced to choose what is important
The OP is still a child I agree

majekdom2: lols ... tired of this debate ... in my compound here , I got three housewives who got nothin doing .The just cruise around... its what I have seen. I shouldnt generalise ...but I know this.

And all their husbands are millionaires?
Do you know the unemployment rate in Nigeria and that it is even harder for women to get jobs than men?
Do you know how many of those women sell stuff on the side or you think working means going out every morning with a briefcase?
A woman taking care of the children and the home has nothing doing?

dokunbam: Some ladies/women are taking the bull by the horn and breaking grounds

But the larger percentage hmmmm...

I don talk, counsel, persuade, beg sef, cos i like wen someone is creative and doing something meaningful.

some no way, they just want a ready made cash. the money they didnt work for, they cant value it.

One girl in my area i told her to do something with her life, she prefer to follow yahooo boys. soon they give her belle and throw her away.

You see what I just alluded to
The yahoo boy is working and the girl is not
Now we know what you folks mean by working hard
I hear una

freecocoa: No we cannot and you are right on jobs not being available(story for another day)

What the OP is actually talking about is how the young girls(most of them) don't actually care about working, believe me, the number of those who hope on a rich man as a meal ticket is way way higher than those who actually have a dream, went to school, tried, couldn't get a job and then decided to settle for a man.

I said it earlier,if people want to talk about the rot in the society that is a different topic
How many of these boys high giving the OP want to work ?
How many would rather get rich overnight?
Is it not men that get a position with the govt and clean out the treasury in a flash
Everyone wants to be rich quick
Nobody in Nigeria cares about working male or female
Govt workers eat groundnut and drink coke and chat while there ,half the time they are not even there
So who is working?

Almost every worker lives on bribe and money they can pilfer from somewhere so what is defined as work in Nigeria?

majekdom2: No one says one's wife has to work for dangote or for one multinational. the point it is dont just sit at home watching fashion poilce.

How many wives are sitting at home watching fashion police
You just told us your grandma worked to put your dad through school
Isn't she a woman?
Is your mom sitting at home watching fashion police?
How many of your sisters are home watching TV in their husband's house because they refused to work

safarigirl: If you're one who has stayed within the female hostel of any Nigerian University, you'll find that most of it's occupants share similar hopes and dreams- and no, it's not to excel in their chosen career paths.

One of the lecturers in my school aptly described women as 'a waste of education'...no, it wasn't an insult, it was just stating the obvious. You find a woman who has hustled through primary, secondary and University education. One who looked set to be a force to reckon with in the world of business or law or medicine, I mean a female with straight A's and you think Nigerian women may be getting things right, only to follow her back to her hostel and hear these heart-breaking words:

"Omo, after school na to find husband marry remain."

In the real sense of the word this is translated to:

"After school, I'll fling my degee inside one iron box in my dad's storeroom, find a perfect mugu that will put a ring on my finger, buy me a car, set up a boutique/beauty saloon for me and all I have to do to get this is spread my legs for him and push out little people with his DNA"

Nigerian women view marriage the same way hustling Nigerian men view the US Green Card- an avenue to escape life's troubles. So in the same way you find 23 year old Nigerian men marrying 56 year old American women, you find young, promising women relegated to some man's priority list.

I don't think most Nigerian women realise that nobody wants to get attached to a leech. If you allow some Nigerian women, they would even want their husbands to carry the babies and birth them as well. And when you ask why they don't want to build wealth with a man, you hear:

"I've already suffered in my father's house. I don't want to continue suffering in my husband's house"

Now unless you're getting married to a no-good leech like yourself, there is no reason why building wealth with a man should be termed 'suffering'

Even on Sun Newspaper's 'Beauty Of The Week' it's the same thing.

Future Ambition: Getting Married And Having Kids

If you think God put you on this earth to make a liability of yourself, you need to think again. There is more to life than being someone's baby mama. There is a purpose for getting an education that lies beyond being able to speak good english whenever you and your man attend social functions

Nigerian women need to sit down and re-evaluate their lives. God sent you to assist a man, not to add to his problems. Men appreciate women who can think for themselves, who want to contribute to the family (and I don't mean churning out kids). There is nothing more endearing than a smart woman who views men as companions rather than money bags.


Don't waste the education your parents worked so hard to provide for you. Break the stereotype, Nigerian women should be more than gold-digging leeches. If the likes of Oby Ezekwesili, Joke Silva, NOI can be successful career women as well as wives and mothers, then we all need to dust up our certificates and CVs and have proper future ambitions.


God Bless You...and don't take this the wrong way

Here

majekdom2: she never said women were not hardworking , she only talked about the non focus lifestyle , which I termed general but more with the ladies.

Read her post again
What is focused lifestyle
Are the men focused?
There are criminals all over this website sending us scam mail,are they focused ?

majekdom2: come do survey for naija schools , then u go know , perhaps chat some of them up.

I am not talking of what the girls say and the dreams
What is the reality after graduation?
No jobs
Nigeria has no jobs for those who want to work

The reason some men turn to criminal activity and the women look for rich men to marry
That is the survival strategy

Can we them say all or most Nigerian men turn to kidnappers and armed robbery after graduation?

majekdom2: I never said that .... but not to think of settling in one man's house and just bear kids . why claim you are in the university when you dont attend lectures and all you have in mind is just to find one rich man that will marry you . its not the ladies alone but very much with the ladies.

If you want to talk about the rot in the society the let's discuss that
Are the boys not sorting out the lecturers and intimidating them with gang activities?
Na who dey carry expo pass?
Girls or boys?
On this nairaland alone,scam artists abound looking for who to swindle
Everyone wants to get rich overnight without working.
If a girl who doesn't want to get her hands dirty aspires to marry a 419er who robbed people blind,why should anyone condemn the girl alone?

My point is that the OP is wrong in her generalization about women
Women are some of the most hardworking people out there.

jpphilips: Nigerian men are no sissies so I dont buy the clap trap that nigerian men will run, never, it doesnt happen except for Nitwits anyways! what do you need mofos for?
Nigerian men in Europe can marry anything for something so why will they run from successful women at home? it doesnt add up.
The truth is this; we know how they got to the top, the day i reviewed the employment criteria of some organization i got to understand, the young girls are mere girl friends to the bigger boss, they still expect Nigerian men to marry them in such condition? oh! please.
They lie to their friends that men are running from their success but the truth is; we know how they got there.

Come to legal departments in big corporations where contracts are signed and see how the so called ''successful'' women become 'successful'.

Thank you
Who doesn't know ?
With the SE,xual abuse and harassment that go unpunished in nigerian schools and workplaces,if I were a man I would be scared to let my wife work.Little girls going to school are not even safe in a place like Nigeria .
Every other lecturer would demand to chop you before you can pass their course
Even to get NYSC posting,dem go want make you comot cloth
Job interview same thing

majekdom2: who does the market business in those days ..... my dad is a seasoned chatered accountant with over 47 years experience. He told me his mum supported his education financially .....it has been there .

And women today are no longer working ?
Women have always worked,whether in the home or outside the home
Some of the people reading this come from single family homes where the mother worked twice as much
Looks to me like the poster is mistaking people's fantasies for reality

jpphilips: You are still a student shaa, when you graduate, your eyes go clear!!
Men who are not top choices for most women will agree with you,
women who have married real men that transformed them from a teacher's daughter to a "chairlady" will laugh at you.
men who dont care who the liability is because they have more than enough to throw around, may not even understand you.
Boys who are losers that could not or have not made it in life, while patiently waiting for a working lady to contribute to run the home, while their families use family support program to solemnize them in unholy matrimony will give you a standing ovation.

If you have not experienced life and its challenges, your opinion count for nothing till you wear the shoes of others. people like you think that School is an authomatic ticket to a carreer abi? it is only time will tell and pray you dont get pregnant for a man in desperation for marriage when reality comes knocking.
please it is only struggling men that want career ladies, there are many of them here on nairaland, made men are actually looking for liabilities the reason they extend their magnanimity to extended families.
Most educated wives sit at home not because they want to lock up their certificate like you alleged, but because they cannot even get a job, you think that getting a job as a young woman in Nigeria is easy? when employers now decide when to marry, where to marry, when to have kids, how many kids to have etc?
you are a freaking student who knows next to nothing what lies ahead of you, by the time this phantasmagoria in your head clears, you will beg to become that liability you so despise.
NOI you referred to attended Oxford University, which one are you attending? that is where her career started, hope by now you can plot a parabola of where yours is leading to. you think say life in Nigeria na beans!!

I was torn between thinking the poster was a student or a spinster with no suitors in sight
I chose the latter but you could be right
We have had threads here where men talk about how women have to put up with SE,xual harassment at work in Nigeria especially those in banks and some men would prefer to have their wives at home rather than turning tricks with their bosses and clients to get ahead at work.
Reality never hit am
There are women frying and selling akara and making moi moi and chin chin even here in the USA to make ends meet and someone is talking of fantasies in the air that don't exist.
Nobody is sitting around waiting for a rich men
Where are rich men Nwa nu?
How many are they?

safarigirl: if my thread isn't speaking to you, fine and good. You and your friends don't even make up to 1% of the Nigerian female population, so you need to stop with your ITK and allow those it's speaking to DIGEST THE MESSAGE. It's women like you that delude themselves into thinking that there are no women who suffer marital abuse simply cuz you and your friends aren't experiencing it. You have made no point whatsoever, there is a world far beyond the happy paradise you find yourself and I will make whatever threads I want to as long as I see things in my society I have issues with and even Seun Osewa won't stop me. Goodnight

At my end it is a sunny afternoon

This is not about marital abuse so stick to the topic you created
I doubt if you were seeking answers from women who are being kept
You don't expect that your ignorant write up won't be challenged

How many women do you know that are sitting at home with millionaire husbands after marriage?
The average Nigerian man is struggling financially and wondering where his rent and meals will come from so where do these people live?

rickkid: I was wondering which Nigeria the OP was on about Certainly not this Nigeria I know where everybody is hustling to achieve their dream. Where I work, about 65% of the staff are women and many of them are single, some are married, some even have kids - it doesn't stop them from working. Even from my mother's generation women have not been slacking I mean for heavens sake my mum was making more money than my dad when they got married and this was in 1976! What on earth is the OP talking about??

Lol safarigirl maybe you just surround yourself with very lazy people. No woman I know is content to find husband and make babies.

That wouldn't make for an interesting thread I guess .it sounds sweeter to say they are all waiting for millionaires to marry them while wasting the education their parents gave them.

majekdom2: so why call the post rubbish , when you work and make money .... you dont wish for other women too ? well who can tell if this is true cause I read a post by you on how to cheat on husband!

Most women work so the topic is rubbish
Those who don't go to a location daily,are working from home to make ends meet
How many graduates do you know that are sitting at home churning out babies with millionaire husbands?
Most Nigerian men marry in their late twenties to mid thirties
How many nigerian men that age are millionaires?

safarigirl: it's about women like you that go on the defensive simply cos they feel they've been called out.

I suppose you want to be one of the women lucky enough to snag the few wealthy men.

If you're not out there working your butt off, you won't even jam Paddy Adenuga cus such men are found within the circles of hard-working people.

I make half my husband's income but my half can comfortably take care of me and 6 children if I chose to have 6
And no I don't have to work my butt off,I have children to take care of and proud of it
I don't have a single friend that is a housewife
None I can readily think of
Infact some of them earn more than their husbands
So you alone know the people you are referring to since we don't see them

If your topic is directed to a friend of yours,call her and speak to her,that's what friends do
Not everything should be a thread especially when it is not the general reality

CoCoLav: Well...no matter how career oriented I am, I know that raising a family will always come first. A career can come after my family. My father has always told me that a time will come when you have all you want and money will mean nothing to you. Only your family will remain and you will be blessed to have them.

I know women who chased their careers and are now very rich but still sow seeds for marriage in church on Sundays. There's no time limit to making money but there's a time limit for having kids. There's no joy in coming home to an empty house.

You can be successful even after marriage and let's face it, at the end of the day who are you working for? its your kids. You work to provide for them and make them have a better life not really for yourself. Right now all i keep thinking of is an effective way to balance the both. Everything comes with a price and at the end of the day you choose that which is more pleasing to you so don't go castigating those who have made raising kids their ambition.

If everyone thought the same way or had the same ambition, the world will be a boring place indeed.

Thank you!
The very examples of Dora Akunyili,NOI and Diezani she gave are all married women with children ( RIP Dora)
Name almost every successful nigerian woman we hear of,most are married with children
Omotola that has graced nairaland pages countless times is an entrepreneur,an actress and a married woman with children
NOI is in her 50s and a grandmother which tell me she married in her early 20s
The Richest Nigerian woman folorunso Alakija is married with children and she didn't get married as a millionaire
When threads of Rita Dominic and Genny come out,it is these same boys hailing this poster that will will tell them to go and marry.

Looks like some people just wake up and start typing without thinking

safarigirl: If you're one who has stayed within the female hostel of any Nigerian University, you'll find that most of it's occupants share similar hopes and dreams- and no, it's not to excel in their chosen career paths.

This is a lie from the pit of hell
I am a product of the same university system and I never heard any classmate of mine not worried about excelling
It was our number one priority and the fear of 2nd MBBS made you bury your head in your books.
I remember girls in accounting lament about Cost accounting and I spent nights in reading rooms and the library with law students cramming cases.
This is certainly not my experience.
Don't use the words of people who are using their private parts to take themselves through school to judge women.

One of the lecturers in my school aptly described women as 'a waste of education'...no, it wasn't an insult, it was just stating the obvious. You find a woman who has hustled through primary, secondary and University education. One who looked set to be a force to reckon with in the world of business or law or medicine, I mean a female with straight A's and you think Nigerian women may be getting things right, only to follow her back to her hostel and hear these heart-breaking words:
"Omo, after school na to find husband marry remain."

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with a desire to marry after school
Marriage and having a family are not mutually exclusive
Women who want to marry should do so in their twenties,in case no one has told you the benefits
It is not only their most productive years biologically ,the chances of having children with birth defects are less
Let me not mention that it is also their most attractive years when they have a pick of suitors.The longer you wait,the less the pool of desirable men you can choose from.you will end up with divorcees,rejects,those with ED and the weirdos .

In the real sense of the word this is translated to:

"After school, I'll fling my degee inside one iron box in my dad's storeroom, find a perfect mugu that will put a ring on my finger, buy me a car, set up a boutique/beauty saloon for me and all I have to do to get this is spread my legs for him and push out little people with his DNA"

Absolutely not I married shortly after school and so did many of my friends.22,23 and 24 year olds are no babies.If you choose to wait and chop around town or until marriage becomes a prayer topic and subject of deliverances and babalawo visits,it is your own cup of tea nne.Don't knock those who choose otherwise.

Nigerian women view marriage the same way hustling Nigerian men view the US Green Card- an avenue to escape life's troubles. So in the same way you find 23 year old Nigerian men marrying 56 year old American women, you find young, promising women relegated to some man's priority list.

There you go again with unfounded generalizations.
My guess is that you are probably unmarried and this is a sort of consolation for your predicament.Marriage is not by force and it is not a requirement for anything except otu ndi nne. aka Christian mothers .

I don't think most Nigerian women realise that nobody wants to get attached to a leech. If you allow some Nigerian women, they would even want their husbands to carry the babies and birth them as well. And when you ask why they don't want to build wealth with a man, you hear:

"I've already suffered in my father's house. I don't want to continue suffering in my husband's house"

If there are indeed girls married to rich men and stay as homemakers,then your theory is wrong
Some men don't want their wives to work and can afford to pay them to stay home don't speak for them.
Different strokes for different folks.

Now unless you're getting married to a no-good leech like yourself, there is no reason why building wealth with a man should be termed 'suffering'

Even on Sun Newspaper's 'Beauty Of The Week' it's the same thing.

Future Ambition: Getting Married And Having Kids

When did getting married and having children become a bad thing?
Are marriage and having a career mutually exclusive I ask again ?

If you think God put you on this earth to make a liability of yourself, you need to think again. There is more to life than being someone's baby mama. There is a purpose for getting an education that lies beyond being able to speak good english whenever you and your man attend social functions
Nigerian women need to sit down and re-evaluate their lives. God sent you to assist a man, not to add to his problems. Men appreciate women who can think for themselves, who want to contribute to the family (and I don't mean churning out kids). There is nothing more endearing than a smart woman who views men as companions rather than money bags.

It is sad reading this from a fellow woman.you have also morphed into a semi man lecturing us on men and what they want.
Having children is now called churning out kids,I never knew women could be as misogynistic.You weren't even sent to assist a man dear,You were made to be a complete human with complete thinking faculty and the right to choose whether to marry or stay single.

Don't waste the education your parents worked so hard to provide for you. Break the stereotype, Nigerian women should be more than gold-digging leeches. If the likes of Oby Ezekwesili, Joke Silva, NOI can be successful career women as well as wives and mothers, then we all need to dust up our certificates and CVs and have proper future ambitions.

Now doesn't this make a mockery of your whole write up naming women in careers
I promise you there are millions of Nigerian women in that field
Go into any market,it is filled with women buying and selling
Same as in banks and financial institutions
Enter into any office from local to state to federal,there are women there
Go to schools,women are in their numbers virtually controlling teaching at elementary level and in secondary school ,professors and staff of universities,women are not lacking.
In hospitals the nursing profession is almost the exclusive preserve of women and women are not lacking as doctors up to consultant level and administrators.
In our courts women barristers,magistrates and judges abound
Amongst our uniformed officers,women are well represented
If you want women armed robbers sef,dem dey


If you took a poll of all the married women on this forum,I assure you majority of them work and earn a living
Those who don't are divided between those looking for work and the housewives ( who make up a tiny minority)
In Nigeria most women have no choice but to work even if they have to work from home running a small business .It is tough to live off one income in any part of the world let alone Nigeria and most Nigerian men are struggling.

lastly,there is nothing wrong in marrying within your class or marrying up
There is nothing wrong in seeking a man who can provide you comfort or one with a potential to do so
If you came from a poor home and would like a man with some means,nothing wrong in it at all.
And if you want to stay single into your 30s by choice or by lack of suitors,by all means do but do not demonize those who choose to raise a family after school.

God Bless You...and don't take this the wrong way

Rubbish!
The number of wealthy men in Nigeria is negligible and for the few wealthy ones, no be woman go marry them?
Will they marry themselves?

Most Nigerian women work even after marriage so I have no clue what this is about

Why should the killing of thugs make news?

Looks ridiculous

He further said "Rather than confront the yorubas,others should learn from their sophistry"

There is nothing wrong in giving up unwanted babies for adoption to willing families and surrogacy is not a crime
adoption or surrogacy involve money even in the civilized world
The government should regulate it or create an agency to do so
Is it better to have these babies end up in dustbins and gutters and pit latrines
I think not
Whether we like it or not,there are young girls pregnant who don't want the babies they are carrying and there are mothers willing to have them.

As long as the girls are not being held captive for breeding babies or against their will,I don't see any big deal in this
Regulate it!

Granny, 2 others nabbed for using boy for pepper-soup
on september 22, 2014 at 8:30 am in news

By Wole Mosadomi

MINNA—Three people including the paternal grandmother have been arrested by the Niger State police command for slaughtering a 9-year-old boy and using the body to prepare peper soup delicacy.
The incidence happened in Koso village in Lavun Local Government Area of Niger State.
Commissioner of Police, Niger State Command, Mr. Olusola Amore, told newsmen that the family of the late boy had reported Liman Doo Mohammed’s mysterious disappearance to the police on the 9th of last month.
However, another report hinted the police that they should beam their search light on the paternal grandmother of the deceased, because he was last seen in her company.
He said based on this vital information, detectives were put on red alert to closely monitor the grandmother called Fatima Sarki’s movement.
Also arrested with her were other relations suspected to be her collaborators.
Amore said on interrogation, the grandmother confessed to have been involved in the dastardly act and mentioned one Zhitsu Aliyu whom she said actually slaughtered the boy.
Another accomplice mentioned was one Amina Musa, who was accused of helping to cook the boy’s remains.
All the suspects have been charged to court on a three count charge of criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide and cannibalism.
According to the Commissioner, "The pots and plates the suspects used in cooking and serving themselves with the said cooked human flesh were recovered and are now exhibits."
The Commissioner revealed that between the months of August and September this year, a total of 65 raids were carried out within the state and a total of 182 suspects were arrested.
According to him, 39 of them were released after interrogation while 143 have already been charged to court for various offences.
He called on people of the state to join hands with him in waging total war against crime and criminals in the state.

cuteboy2: When I travel to the Middle East and see the wonders of transformation in Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain I have often wondered if these people are practicing a different type of Islam. Ditto for largely muslim Asian countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. These countries have greatly advanced in education & research, tourism, manufacturing, commerce, and sports. Malaysia and tiny Qatar and Bahrain are even hosting prestigious sports events like Formula 1, golf and ATP tennis tournaments.

Please I would like Muslims and those who are well grounded in the Hadith and Sura to educate us. Are we practising a different kind of Islam in Nigeria? A form of Islam that forbids education, and advancement in commerce and tourism? If not, then why is the Northern state governments and the rich Northern elites not pouring thier resources into educating thier millions of almajiri children, who roam like orphans begging, and at the day graduate into a despicable murderer and rapist like Shekau of Boko Haram.

Shekau is a direct product of the Almajiri system in the North. My main concern is even if you kill Shekau or exterminate Boko Haram, there are millions of fresh graduates from the Almajiri system who are getting ready to take his place.

Why is Almajiri not practiced in Indonesia (a country with the largest population of Muslims), Malaysia, Pakistan, UAE(Dubai), etc. I leave out Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and other wealthy Gulf states because some people will say they are too rich.

On the other hand, we have hundreds of stupendously rich Nigerian northerners who could afford to build schools and hospitals in every village in their home states. But they will never lift a finger to do anything. They only give food handouts during Salah and Muslim holidays.

Let someone ask rich northern elites like Mai Deribe, Atiku Abubakar, Indimi, Dantata, Ibrahim Babangida and thousands of others: What have they done to lift their people from poverty and ignorance? Aliko Dangote tries to give huge chunks of money to his home state Kano when natural disasters like floods strike, but we need a restructuring of the religious system that deliberately keeps the masses under poverty and ignorance.

Many states in the South like Ekiti are poorer than states like Kano or Kaduna, yet you don't see hoards of children roaming the streets begging.

What brand of Islam are they practising in the North?

Attack the almajiri system or the culture of child marriage that breeds these street urchins and they accuse you of being antiIslam
Their Mallams feed off the babiallah plates of the almajiri,you can't touch that
The northern elites don't condemn almajiri because their place is structured to have a perpetual underclass that bows to the elites
Even if all the boko soldiers of today are killed,it's just a matter of time and another imam arises to head the ready foot soldiers
It is not a war any country with a sizable ignorant Muslim population can win

After listening to all these song
I will wound somebody this night o
