This is just one of those topics in which we ALL know the truth but some refuse to accept. All in the name of image. C'mon wake up and smell the freaking reality. No matter how much you want to deny it, go around spewing conspriacies, ranting about generalizations, your ass knows it is true.

For example: one of my disdained uncles (ekwensu rest his soul) abused my aunt, cheated on her, treated her like a piece of shit, belittled her in front my cousins. In short, he was an all around punk ass bitch. The worst of it all, was my aunt tolerated every bit of it. She refused to leave him. She would just swallow it up, and continued with the abuse. I understand that in Igboland, divorce is looked down upon, but c'mon. There are exceptions to every rule.We told her to leave him, come and stay with us, but NO!!! "He is my husband. I made a vow before Chineke" Did she also vow to be treated like a piece of shit, NO, but she continued with her marriage.

She allowed this to happen for[b] 29 Years Of Marriage[/b]. Till he was diagnosed with massive artery clogs (kene Chukwu for palm oil), and died within the year.
So now she is a widow, who has no life of her own. What can she do eh? Her husband thought for her, told her what to do. Now she is just a mmuo walking around.

THANK YOU OH! I mean even if some people want to turn a blind eye, that's their problem just don't expect the restof us to or where in the rule book does it say all of us have to sleep and face the wall together? Not 1, not 2, not 100, not just on Nairaland alone, not in America or the UK alone, not just on the internet, everywhere people are saying it yet they refuse to see, it is a lie they puff. Yep, we all got together one Friday night when we were sure they would be sleeping the the booze off and planned to create this elaborate lie all just to ruin their reputation on account of how PERFECT and GOOD they are. Why, I suppose it's jealousy that makes us do this.

Give me a freaking break!!!!

I'm done with this thread, jare. There's only so many times you can hit your own head on a concrete wall before you turn to an abusive Naija man.  

Asta my lovelies! Don't Worry, we are still praying for you. If a pig can remain clean for 5 mins, then anything is possible. There's hope yet

Rotflmao! Oh please give me a break! Trying to turn this into women being bitter because of past hurt. Do you have to be a victim of theft to know it s wrong? Do you have to be abused to know abuse is a no no? [s]Do you have to die in marriage to show you've loved?[/s] Wait, scratch that, I forgot where I was for a sec.  

However, if will make you guys feel better to think some man out there has treated some of us badly, hence our rejection of abusive mentality. Please go right ahead!!!

Do you try being sarcastic pointlessly without understanding what's being said or discussed?
Just a question

Noooo! Of course not. . . I mean if that's a bad thing, then NO but if it's good. . . Yes! Wait, what was the question again?  

You have unseen laws putting you where you belong . On a more serious note, me for instance give my wife all the opporutnities she can ever need to actualise herself. Real men don't do all those things you ladies are attributing to men here. In an ideal situation, that God wants for his children, you the man are expected to love your woman (now you may want to carefully analyse the word love) while the woman iscommanded to respect and submit to the man whether she earns more or not.

The ideal man therefore would not abuse his woman or demean her. He would know that whenever he does that, he abuses himself and demeans himself. He would not maltreat the woman even whe she wrongs him. He would see himself as the sheperd who should cater (protect, provide, preserve) for his sheep (the woman).

For those of you who think God's words concerning the submissiveness of women is demeaning, well, you need to have a mind renewal. Hope for the best, change your expectation as there are a lot of excellent men out there but your preparedness and disposition determines the one that comes your way

So, go for the ideal man (who loves God and loves his wife) and then you will see that men are the best thing to happen to women.

All gentlemen in the house i hail!

As soon as he said that, not a peep could be heard. Silence reigned on all four fronts of Nairaland. . . except for the crickets chirping.

MEN BASHERS? NO

BADLY BEHAVED MEN AND THE WOMEN WHO MAKE EXCUSES FOR THEM BASHERS? YES! YES! OH GOD YES! 100% YESSSSSSSSS!

michelin89:
*on my knees* I am sorry my HEAD for trying to behave like a human being. This night don't allow me to sleep on your bed after you have sexed me. Let me stay in my place: the kitchen! I beg you oooooo!

Bwahahahahahahaha! You are killing me here! Don't forget. . .

"Please slap me in the face, don't use the palm of your hands, use your fist or back hand. Oh for the love of our sacred marriage, put me in my place. . . anything will be better than the fate worse than death. . . Unmarried woman! "

Rotflmao! isn't it!!! 

Oh man! You gotta love their mentality.

I think we are having too much fun and you know that is a NO NO for Naija women. I sure hope you have your armoured gear on, coz they will soon be here to "put us in our place"

michelin89:
Sarcastic people are mentally connected. Come into my head any time any day.

Aaah Yes, SARCARPATHY!! 

michelin89:
The typical Nigerian/African society is patriarchal based on values like family and hard work. These are the two most important values and who fucking cares about the way they are achieved. No one gives a damn if John abuses Mary on a daily basis but it would be a dishonor if Mary dares step out of the house.
Mary dear forgive him if he cheats on you because first of all, men are naturally inclined to cheating and also we don't accept divorced, single or separated women in this society.

Don't even think of it even if he brings in his mistress as his second wife. His family can abuse you as well. You must stay and bare it all.
No matter what happens you must stay and save your marriage. It's is a matter of life and death; more of that of death if I can sincerely express my opinion.
Your role as a wife is simple: take care of the home, husband and kids. Yes! You have an ultimatum when it comes to kids. In this case the man has the right to divorce you if you can't produce one or simply kick you out. But you can't if the man is the disable one. You must not hurt his ego, so you still have to stay and bare.

Note that all these things are not necessary and you can refuse to abide but take note of this: you'll go through hell.

You have a choice of moving out to those western countries where everything is thrown away just for the happiness of a single person, of a woman to make things worse. In the west women can choose to remain unmarried just to pursue a career: absolutely outrageous. They stay childless in the name of enjoying marriage and moving on with their career or simply because they are not psychologically ready."Nonsensity upon nonsensity". They are even allowed to divorce and no one dares frown at them or else it's a big trouble.

I mean a society that gives more power to women is absolutely unimaginable. Not to mention when the man hits the woman. He is just doing it for her own good. She needs correction sometimes. Considering she is in the same order with kids she should be treated like such.
F!ck those westernized bastards who think they can come here to change the way things have always been. We are on the right path, they are the doomed ones. Haven't they understood that a society based on the individual/women is absolutely rubbish? The man's is the best.

Bwahahahaha! Nice. . . but what you forgot something. After this "Note that all these things are not necessary and you can refuse to abide but take note of this: you'll go through hell" comes "However, should you stay and you die at the hands of your husband, you will achieve the highest rank that can be bestowed on a women - SAINTHOOD and you will be held up as the epitome of GOOD WIFE.

JustGood:
So it's wrong for me to plead with my friend again? Why am I not allowed to it?
Do you know what his family did?

Oh wait, I thought it was only his wife, so it was his whole family? Even the children? Na wa oh, poor guy. . . what did they to him? I hope he is not hurting too much sha, having you whole family do something to you can be heartbreaking.

michelin89:
*yawn* Low self esteem is bad. And why should I bother myself to help a half balled being like you? I have my life to live jare!

LMOA! You need to get out of my head! I was just gonna say that. . . well quote my older brother, only really insecure me go around saying I am the man, I am the head, I am the ruler of the universe. Only men with low to no self esteem feel the need to exert their MANSHIP Power. If you are truly a man, you don't need to tell anyone, they will know.  So let 'em keep quoting their bibles and flying their "we are men" flags coz it only confirms what we already know.

michelin89:
"You have been brainwashed by those westerns! Booooooo!"

LMAO! I know right! Darn those westerners for teaching us we have a brain and how to use it. Let's call for their heads on a silver platter for daring to show us respect is a two way street. I say they should be strung, drawn and quartered for demanding that men stop thinking only of themselves and realize women are people too.

The Cheek of these westerners. . . I hope they burn in hell!!

KarmaMod:
Lmao sisi. are you minding these people? blah blah generalization.

They don't remember when people make "all Nigerian Girls are gold diggers", where were those people that are now crying? Abeg, make I hear word

and I think its amusing how they are all offended the thread is made by a Brazilian. If it were a fellow Nigerian that created this, what would be their excuse?

Nitwits.

Honestly, I just can't laugh because I'm still shocked. What is funnier is how completely oblivious they are to the fact that the behavior they are been accused of is what they are using to defend themselves. Look how affronted they are that a woman dares to tell them they don't respect women and a certain expectation of how they should be treated by women

My grandmother has this story she tells. . .

A man comes home, looking a dejected. His wife asks him what's wrong? He tells her he is sad because on his way into the house, he was met by some neighbors who told him they can't stand his wife because she curses too much. The woman jumps to her feet? "What? She? Curse? Aaah! God punish all of them from their 1st generation to the last generation. They will put eba down and go around looking for soup. Their homes will never know peace. Their children's children will suffer the transgressions of their fore-fathers."

Some of the men in this thread. . . are exactly like that woman.

KarmaMod:
why were you the one "pleading" to the friend? Why not his family?

Help me ask oh! Just assumes they will be grateful to have the man back. . .  Yet, we are supposed to believe that these men don't have a high, almost God-like complex of themselves. LMAO. . . yeah, ok. ^*Rollseye*

All Hail the Power of The Generalization Excuse – The perfect shield for defensive people to hide behind. They get all up in arms about "generalization", so they don’t have to face the truth.

Are all French People rude? NO
Are all British People conservative? NO

Yet all these characteristics are what they are known for.

This. . .  my Nigerian brothers and sisters is what happens when MAJORITY rules the roast. So please get over it and stop using generalization as an excuse to rubbish what is being said, instead open your eyes and ears and try to understand the point here

MAJORITY OF THE NIGERIAN WOMEN TOLERATE CRAP FROM THEIR MEN ALL FOR THE SAKE OF BEING CALLED MARRIED WOMEN!

Besides, your generalization excuse works ONLY if OP is using her experience to paint all Nigerian men in a bad light. . . and she isn’t!

Everywhere you go, people. . .  White, Black, Mexican, Caribbean,  Asian complain about Nigerian men and their boorish behavior, except you are ready to show that it’s only 2 or 3 men who go around ruining the reputations of the Nigerian Man, getting all worked about generalization is diversionary tactics at its worst.

I’m all for stand the whole stand by your man schtick but there are times when we have to stand back and call a spade a spade.

Heave, Hove, Rant and Rave all you want, it’s not going to change the perception UNTIL something is done to shift the balance from MAJORITY to MINORITY.

LAGOS (AFP) - Nigeria's President Umaru Yar'Adua could resign on health grounds, official news agency NAN said Tuesday.

Yar'Adua was in a Saudi hospital for treatment and there has been longstanding speculation over his health. NAN said the resignation could come after a cabinet reshuffle expected in coming days.

Love the Palin Poses when Clinton was ranting.

I can see Russia from House. . . Classic!!

Someone needs to sell the Republicans a funny bone.

Carly Fiorina Criticizes Tina Fey As "Disrespectful, Sexist"

McCain spokeswoman Carly Fiorina has weighed in on the major issue of today, namely, 30 Rock creator Tina Fey's portrayal of vice presidential contender Sarah Palin from this weekend's Saturday Night Live. Fiorina, astonishingly, termed it "disrespectful." Because that's what SNL does - paint flattering pictures of political figures. You'd think she'd be immune to such concerns, or at least not humorless about it -- after all, the very candidate she supports went on SNL last season and wittily lampooned his own age. But in Fiorina's opinion, Fey was "sexist" and failed to delve into Palin's substance.

Speaking of Palin's substance, today on the stump she loudly declared that she'd end the practice of Wall Street rewarding incompetent CEOs with "golden parachutes." Palin made no note of Fiorina's own $21 million-dollar ripcord, because I guess that would be too substantive.

Tina Fey Returns to ‘Saturday Night Live’ to Play Palin

How could she not?

Actress and comedian Tina Fey returned to her old stomping grounds Saturday to portray Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP’s vice presidential candidate. Fey was a cast member of NBC’s Saturday Night Live from 1997-2006 before leaving to write and star in the Emmy-award-winning “30 Rock.”

But Fey came back to portray Palin, to whom she bears a striking resemblance. The brunettes share the same side-swept bangs and prominent spectacles. The SNL costume department only had to put Fey in a red high-button jacket and tease her hair into an up-do and the transformation was complete.

For the skit, which opened the program’s season premiere, Fey was joined by cast member Amy Poehler, who has long taken the role of Hillary Clinton on the show. Fey and Poehler, as Palin and Clinton respectively, batted about the issue of sexism in the campaign.

“Tonight we are crossing party lines to address the now very ugly role that sexism is playing in the campaign,” Fey-as-Palin said.

Poehler-as-Clinton chimed in: “An issue which I am frankly surprised to hear people suddenly care about.”

The zingers flew easily and seamlessly. Poehler-as-Clinton: “I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy” to which Fey-as-Palin responded: “And I can see Russia from my house.”

And on global warming: “I believe global warming is caused by man,” Poehler-as-Clinton said. “And I believe it’s just God hugging us closer,” Fey-as-Palin said.

The real Sarah Palin was on her campaign plane when the episode aired. The JetBlue charter plane outfitted television screens on the back of their seats allowed the candidate, her staff and the traveling press to watch.

No word yet on whether Palin found the skit funny.

Savoring entertainment with wide eyes and chewing on pretzels with gusto.

Bites tongue

Ouch! Stupid Dry pretzel

Flings Pretzels in the trash can, looks around for something else to eat. There’s nothing, chews on lips thoughtfully.

Go to the kitchen or stay? If I go. . . I’ll miss the action but if I sat I will be hungry.
Hungry or miss the action? Yeah, I’m staying. What’s the worst that can happen if I don’t  eat? 
Starvation and death? Puh-lease, so worth it, as long as I can still watch Acid and Ruby from the grave, I’m cool as a cucumber.

Sits back on lounge, drowns sound of growling stomach with Temitope  music

Aaah! This IS the life!

Bwahaha @ Temileyin, never heard that one before.  Mine is the very, very, obvious and popular one now. . . Temitope.

I propose that a law be passed making all men call their wives Morenike.

I like Toyin too, Oluwatoyin and as my grandma will say Beni oooh!

I hate my name only because every Thomasina, Daria and Henrietta bears it. 

I tried to refine it to no avail, so I go by my other name Temmy.

Yeah, as you can see, we have a predilection for shortened names in family. . .

Renny, Temmy, Bim, Kay, Lekun

Yeah, stop going off topic, y'all.  

@ Topic
He got game, she got game eveybody got game.
