Lithiumite: What do they need to do to heal your suffering that hasn't been done without everyone going through more pains.
Every nation that has developed used the same template for development and non got to where they are without blood and grit......nigerians aren't ready to pay the price,everything is sacrificed on the altar of clannishness and purile politics.
Pains indeed. You lead by example. Your leaders want us to go through pains while they enjoy. Isn't that hypocrisy? Pain indeed.
When Obasanjo came as Military Head of State, to encourage made in Nigeria, he changed his official vehicle to Pueguot. We know what else everyone did when he did that. What did Tinubu do? Bought luxurious vehicles, a yatch and a plane.
In March 1979, Head of State General Olusegun Obasanjo arrived in his official Peugeot 504 to open the newly built Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos.
The iconic Peugeot 504 was a staple of General Obasanjo’s military administration. He famously mandated its use for government officials to cut down on the wasteful spending of exotic vehicles and promote local assembly plants.
On March 15, 1979, Obasanjo arrived in this vehicle alongside his security detail to officially commission the international airport, marking a major milestone in Nigeria's aviation development. Later that year, on October 1, 1979, Obasanjo used this same Peugeot 504 to drive Nigeria's first democratically elected executive president, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, to his inauguration, ending years of military rule.
When he came back the second time, foreign juice was the norm at government functions. Obasanjo banned it and said it must be made in Nigeria juice and water. That's when Nigerian producers started taking the table at events. Leadership is not rocket science. There's a lot the leader can do so don't come sermonize us here on tPain.
WhizdomXX: I see it changing by May 29th 2027. Hope you have your PVC.
I hope it does. I want Nigerians to hold their leaders accountable and I'm afraid we get carried away easily. Whether it's Obi, Atiku or Tinubu, they need to be held accountable. It's unfortunate that the government of today has lowered the bar so much they don't want us to ask questions, they want praise. And anyone who asks questions is either Igbo, an enemy or a hater
SixSeven: I want to conduct a poll on this topic after my comment on the other thread about female commentators in football games. I do not enjoy it and I have been watching football for over 3 decades. I have also been listening to football commentary and analysis on radio, through SW to AM to FM and now podcasts and everything. During the days of livescores, I don't know if they still do that, women call it out. Women were always in the game but they never touched the live commentary part. I think due to the nature of the game and most audience being men, it was a sacrilege to disrupt what people heard. Someone called me a misogynist because of my comment.
I want to know, do you enjoy women's live commentary for men's games? This is just a statistical analysis of viewers' choice, no sentiments, no favoritism. Let's see what this sample size shows and maybe media organizations can learn from their consumers.
Lithiumite: Are you in anyway even aware how the LPG out of your country is priced and the business model it operates,I bet you arent even aware its priced in USD and the company is not obliged to sell to you if you aren't ready to buy at international prices.....america has more crude oil than we do but it's citizens aren't buying it dead cheap just because they have it in the ground.
OP, this is exactly what I told you in my last comment on our thinking. When it comes to suffering, they look for the best examples to heal our sufferings, when it comes to what our contemporaries do, they ignore it.
IyaTola: I hear your frustration, and honestly, many Nigerians feel the same way. The cost of living is painful right now, and it is fair to ask hard questions about leadership, priorities, and why ordinary people seem to carry the heaviest burden.
But if we want to understand why some people may still support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu or ask for patience, the argument is usually this:
Nigeria’s economy was already deeply damaged long before this administration came in. For years, the country spent huge amounts subsidizing fuel and defending the naira artificially. Those policies made things look cheaper on the surface, but they also drained government finances, increased debt, discouraged investment, and created massive corruption opportunities.
So the current government believes that removing fuel subsidy and allowing the naira to float are painful but necessary corrections, not because suffering is good, but because they believe delaying those decisions would eventually crash the economy even harder.
That does not erase the suffering people are facing. It does not magically make ₦1,400 fuel or expensive food acceptable. And many citizens are justified in asking why politicians still appear comfortable while ordinary people are told to sacrifice.
That anger is valid.
But supporters of the government would argue that:
- reforms usually hurt first before improvements appear, - states now receive more allocation because subsidy payments reduced, - some investors are returning because policies are more market-driven, - and fixing problems created over decades cannot happen in one or two years.
The real issue many Nigerians have is not just the hardship itself — it is the imbalance of sacrifice.
People can endure pain more patiently when leaders also:
- cut their own luxuries, - reduce wasteful government spending, - show transparency, - and visibly share in the sacrifice.
That is where many citizens feel disappointed. Nigerians are not only asking for economic reform; they are asking for fairness, empathy, and evidence that leaders understand real life outside government convoys.
Your post reflects something deeper than politics: exhaustion. A country where citizens provide their own power, security, water, healthcare, and education will naturally resist heavier taxes because people already feel overburdened.
And that is the conversation Nigeria honestly needs — not insults between political sides, but serious discussion about:
- how to grow incomes, - how to reduce the cost of governance, - how to restore purchasing power, - and how to make sacrifice feel shared instead of one-sided.
Nobody likes suffering. People simply disagree on whether the current hardship is a temporary transition toward recovery or just more pain without results.
Nigeria’s economy was already deeply damaged long before this administration came in.
Didn't Tinubu say he was Buhari? This line no fit work. Change your AI prompt
reddingtonblack: [quote author=LordBiden post=139430820]The problem of Nigeria is not something any of the incoming candidates can solve infact not even peter obi. As much as you are entitled to your Opinion, Your assertions are vague and baseless
Every single problem Nigeria faces or have as challenge is[b] Man Made[/b] .. I am educated & expose to the level i can tell you No man made problem is beyond solution. You can speak factually that no candidate can solve Nigeria problem ... thats preposterous
The structure of the country itself won't even allow it to progress .
The structure of Nigeria does not allow that "when prices goes up it come down" But Yaradua is the only president that made us realize Price of fuel can be lesser than what predecessor left ... till date every govt believe fuel must sell × 10 what they met
Current presidential system we practicing is too expensive. I agree, going forward cutting govt lavish expenditure is one sure relief
To add to your comment, we can cut cost if we want to. The motorcade that follows the US President is for security reasons but look how many of our governors do the same thing? We just used it for show and Fashola also showed that you don't need to make noise as a Governor with siren. So things can be done, we just refuse to. The way to know that our motorcade was not for security was when the Governors receiced the President in Lagos.
Ozinlex: Stories for the gods, if Tinubu the current President of the country has the "balls" to remove fuel subsidy,float a free exchange rate, apply for loan and get aporoval from the National assembly, sign a fraudulent electoral and taxation laws within days...WHY CAN'T HE CHANGE THE SAME TERRIBLE SYSTEM IN 3 YEARS?
I like this. I remember they even said he was a strong man who didn't listen to his advisors not to remove subsidy on the first day but because he is a warrior, he is Jagaban, he is a fighter, he can lead us to el dorado. Na bourdillon e go drop us las las. Driver o wa oo
Princedapace: You are a smart person. Africans dont need western style. We have everything, like bro, every damn thing. Now, imagine security is fixed and we can use agriculture well, that will solve a lot of problems. Instead of tackling security, these moda fukas feel that increasing income tax to 25% is the way to go in a country where citiznes are so poor, and the moda fukas are proud to cap tax threshhold at 800k per year? Like how na? Anyone earning 800k per year in Nigeria of today is not living, the person is dead. I am so ashamed of my leaders. They wrecked lives and destinies. People lives and destinies wasted.
I can feel your pain with the use of MF in your write-up
I hope I didn't add more to it because I updated my comment you quoted. It's just frustrating and I don't see things changing anytime soon because when you reason like this, they will insult you. We have become used to absurdities that if you give this current guys 4 more years, they will weaponise propaganda and gaslighting that you will almost run maaaad. I feel sorry for the young recruits who don't know any better but 24/7 working for their massaas.
Princedapace: I love the piece u wrote, very smart and intelligent. I keep saying this same thing. We have no business paying income tax. Like no way. Eurpeans never had the type of resources we have. All we need is proper management of our resources, use the income from resources and build public infrastrcuture, not to pay politicians and their families so well. Build our educational system so we can start converting our raw resources into finished goods. Like our lithium into batteries instead of selling the material alone to China. But no, these muda fukers think that taxing me up to 25 percent is the best. Just copyying Europeans blindly. Europeans wont be this wicked to their people if they have half of what Africans have. Africans have land for agriculture. Like mad, we can be self sufficient. I honestly dont know who cursed this continent and her leaders and people. An oil and gas rich nation taxing her citiznes 25 percent is mindblowing. Like mind blowing, after still taxing VAT, import, banking services, everything we get from FG, we pay for it such as drivers lincense, VISA, all documents are paid for. So, WTF is this guy's doing exactly? All Nigeria needs is proper resource management, cut down on the too much money spent on politicians and block corruption to the core. none of these politicians want to work actually. That is the honest truth
With the Minister of Finance we currently have, a tax expert, I am afraid things will not change. It's one thing for us to learn the education that was given to us, it's another thing to know who we are and what works for us. Many times what we often do is copy a western system to an African environment without thinking about the underlying issues. The result is obvious.
Our people go to Dubai, they know what the citizens enjoy and how their government supports citizens first before foreigners. From housing to education to employment but they will conveniently ignore that. They like to look for examples that show we are allies in suffering. That's why you see them say, you want all the good things in London but you don't pay your taxes. As if, to agree without conceding to that statement, those ones don't give their people service. I was writing about the Iran war and it still baffles me that US sanctions are good excuses for these guys to make their people poor. I don't want to say we are cursed. These guys we have are specialists in failure 👇
When Trump posted that he would bomb Iran to ancient civilization by targeting their bridges and energy infrastructure, the only thing that came to my mind was energy infrastructure. I've given up on bridges because in Nigeria, mediocrity is celebrated. 4th Mainland bridge is still on their mega plan while the Lagos-Calabar highway is completed since Obidients, Wailers and enemies of the State are already selling gala on its highway, hide your face!!!🙈
In this ongoing war, Iranian officials announced last week that they have restored electricity to their people despite attacks from Israel/US. 👇
Iran restores power to most parts of Tehran and Karaj after suspected attacks on infrastructure
It makes me ask the question, are we living in any civilization if we can't have light
A country at war cares so much to restore power to its people, they even provided updates on the power situation in their country, they didn't use the war as an excuse but in my own country, these wicked people use all manner of man-made excuses to put us in darkness, pain and suffering. Every Nigerian becomes an analyst, analyzing waterfalls from Kainji Dam to river sediments of Bakassi peninsular. May woe betide una 👐 It's not a curse. It is what you need because what you have shown us is that you are ungrateful. We are ungrateful people in this country and we should stop insulting God. Nigerians are the most ungrateful people on earth because God blessed us with abundance of resources and wealth but we insult the creator by giving weak excuses and ensuring that people suffer while we take care of our own immediate family and friends. We don't like ourselves, we just pretend we do.
In other countries, they make sure people are okay first. Here, we want to steal everything for ourselves and family, most people don't care about the state. They send their kids abroad, no excuses. They holiday abroad. They show off abroad. What kind of people are these? I can't just speak for God because if I were the one who created this kind of people, I would be so irritated because I see how you take pride in making your own people suffer but stash the money abroad. The president is in power, the supporters are more interested in peppering Obidients. If the president does well, isn't it to everyone's enjoyment and benefit? What sort of tomfoolery makes you bothered about opposition when you have the opportunity to use the goddamn power to fix things? I see in the war threads how people support either side but they don't reason. That country is a terrorist country as they claim here on NL but they have light. They have freaking light. No excuses. They are under sanctions. Here, they give all manner of excuses, sabotage the country, cache out our money, only for it to be used by their oppressors. Clowns 🤡
Nigerian incompetence thrives on world chaos so they can have something to justify their dirty bottoms. It's such a shame and a disgrace that Libya and Iran can have light but in Nigeria, we are ready to blame the world economy. Hisses
SixSeven: Look at this picture below. What does it say? 👇
Meanwhile in a country called Nigeria, what was the headline for this weekend? Obasanjo says NNPC refineries cannot be fixed 🤡
Iran never said let's wait for this war to end. They never said maybe US will attack it again so let's not repair it. They never complained about the sanctions. They never complained about world economy and all those nonsense those people smart by half come to preach to you online or on TV. They went straight to business.
This is the same government people abuse here meanwhile their own government in Nigeria doesn't give a damn about their welfare. The failure of a power minister says we should appoint a coordinating minister of energy after failing to restore power in 2 weeks he gave himself. President disconnected his own residence from national grid and went solar. Eeeeeeddddddoooots
SixSeven: Women don't forget. A help is a debt owed...
Feed a woman for life, no worries. Let a woman feed you for lunch, Kilimanjaro will hear about it. Men, take note. Women don't help like that. You are the provider, not her. Beware of Greek gifts.
I am reminded of this movie 👇
While he was struggling financially he found out is wife had $280,000 in her bank account pic.twitter.com/CVdqSdxrwm
SixSeven: Just know women and know peace. I agree with you, be a person of help and value no matter who but between man and woman, women like providers and that's man's natural state. A woman as a provider will remind you of what she does, most men just take it like that. For the men who do 50/50 which is what the West makes of men, they want to take the authority from them because they pay the bills. It's sad but that's the reality. Only a few women who were were properly trained and know the difference between building a home and a career can understand this.
If a man is not doing well, he should make sure he doesn't let the woman become the man of the house for too long. He should try to work on himself. Again, women are not built to be providers. They are receivers. That's how God made them. Give a woman a sperm, make a baby. Giver her a house, she makes a home. The moment you let her do the work of a man, you will change her and she will become bitter. It's man's natural nature to build, it's her natural nature to nututre.
If you have one who did not show you shege because she helped you, appreciate her. Her type is rare.
If there's an open secret this man said, we know Nigeria's history and the cat and mouse game between the military and police. Military men will never concede to Ribadu, a Policeman and that will put our nation into more problems.
Princedapace: We have been paying taxes, my father and mother all paid, we pay taxes such as VAT in billions and trillions, we pay all types of bank levies and taxes, importation taxes, income taxes. The only sector not paying much of income tax remains the self employed sector. And income tax is not the only tax, Nigerians have been paying tax since colonial master came. And Nigeria has mad resources that we dont need to pay such heavy taxes. What the new tax he brought does is widen those who will pay especially those who work online who were not captured in thhe previous tax law. As the previous tax law stated that u pay income tax on income earned/sourced within Nigeria. This put out thhose who earned money from abroad for paying income tax but they paid all other taxes such as VAT, property taxes, etc. We have been paying tax. And Nigeria has made mad money, but our problem is corruption and wastage. And extremely dependant economy. U are taxing heavily a country that imports everything. Let me give u one idea, imagine we have a secured country where u and I can farm. Imagine in each family, one person is a farmer in large scale. We will have enough to crash food prices and export a lot to nearby countries which will boost the power of naira. U can only grow when u export more finished products, not by importing everything. Now, u need electricity for industrialization. He is not doing anything in electricity and security. These two are important for self sufficient economy buut he is focued on widen tax. Who dey Bleep told him that? Europeans grew their industries before heavy taxation and that is because they have not much resources. One person in Nigeria will loot 30Biliion. This is the real issue, nigeria has money, it is wasted on political packages, and corruption. They will spend 350million on library renovation and u will check, u wont see any renovation. They will use 750 million to build govt website. These are the issues.
I was just being sarcastic. Thanks for your analysis, I like it. I wrote something like that this January 👇
SixSeven: I just need to break this down here because what you don't understand you will keep being misled.
A tax is money the government collects from people, businesses, or things you buy, to pay for public services like roads, schools, hospitals, and electricity.
Many Nigerians think only people with salaries pay tax because income tax (PAYE) is very visible, it comes straight off your paycheck. But in reality, everyone pays indirect taxes whenever they buy goods, fuel, food, use electricity, phone, or travel. The “hypocrisy” comes from the fact that government talks about income tax more because it’s easy to track, while indirect taxes are hidden in prices, so it feels like the poor or informal workers aren’t paying anything when they actually are.
What annoys me is the japa people that go abroad and yap about taxes. They want Nigeria to have the same western style. If you play with taxes abroad, you'll be shown the way out in the next election and you should also understand the white man and why he does things in a way. When you understand their history, you'll know why we are not the same.
Some countries really do not charge personal income tax at all meaning residents don’t file annual income tax returns like in the UK/US and don’t pay tax on their salaries. Examples include United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Monaco, Brunei and Vanuatu, among others. These countries still get money for government services through oil, trade, fees, or other taxes, not by taxing individual salaries. Do the maths and tell me one thing in common Nigeria has that some of these countries have. These countries fund government spending through other sources such as oil and gas revenues, corporate taxes, import duties, fees, tourism income or VAT/sales taxes, instead of taxing people’s income directly.
You need to get off this obsession with the west and trying to be like who you are not. This is the miseducation of the average African. Don't forget that in Aba and Ogun State, Women fought the imposition of taxes by the British. Many Nigerians don't even study their history. You should go and read why they didn't want the colonial government collecting taxes from them.
Historically, Western heavy taxation grew partly from scarcity and because they needed money to fund armies, wars, infrastructure, and administrative systems. Land and resources were limited, populations were growing, and scarcity of money made taxes necessary. Scarcity also came from their harsh climates, poor harvests, and limited technology, so the state had to extract more from people to survive and provide basic service, sunlike in some African systems, where wealth was shared communally rather than extracted as formal taxes. When you look at it today, the concept of Black Tax is because in Africa, we share the resources with the rest of us Ubuntu style. Learn why things are the way they are. Today, I see people teaching financial wealth and I laugh when they want us to copy westerners and their form of selfish indiduvual finance.
The day Nigerians wake up to know their rights and why the government cannot just squander their money, they will wake up.
sparko1: That is the lie most men are feed, men are always lonely, even married men, most die before their wives, before their children becomes provider, those who are unlucky to be alive becomes bachelor all over again. Have you ever heard of men being invited to his son or daughters house after a new birth.
If you are not comfortable/happy being alone, you will never be happy.
I agree with the last line, if someone cannot be comfortable alone, marriage will not magically make them happy but saying men are always lonely anyway ignores a lot of historical and cultural realities about why men married in the first place.
Men went to seek a woman's hand in marriage because companionship, intimacy, family, children, and partnership mattered to them. Human beings are social by nature, so wanting marriage partly to avoid loneliness is normal, not weakness of not being able to stay alone. This is why men were polygamous. Men often did not want to face old age, widowhood, or isolation alone. Biologically, a man could remain fertile long after a wife reached menopause, which influenced why we also accepted polygamy.
Social expectations matter too. In many cultures, a man living under his wife's family was and is seen as losing status or dignity, so men built their own households instead of depending on in-laws. That's why men don't often go for omugwo and those things to avoid see finish and maintain his ego/pride, it's not about being a bad father, that was never a man's role in Africa. His role was to provide and mentor. What does he want to teach a 6 month old? In Africa, women have always been the nurturer until this generation tried to change it. I don't know any other mammal where the man is the one taking care of infants and young children, you will see that men do more of protection. In most mammal species, females do most or all of the early infant care because they carry pregnancy and produce milk, so they are biologically tied to the earliest stage. Men had their own roles but it wasn't for the infant except there's a ritual etc. Privacy, modesty, and comfort are real reasons practices like Omugwo have traditionally been handled by women rather than men. After childbirth, a woman is in a physically and emotionally vulnerable state involving recovery, bleeding, breastfeeding, and body exposure during care. In many cultures, it was considered more appropriate and less stressful for her to be supported by other women, mothers, aunties, or in-laws who could assist closely without creating discomfort or violating social norms around privacy. A man is technically useless to the omugwo and we should not deceive ourselves about this reality. He can't even understand the experience because he has never given birth so it makes sense that women go for it.
Back to polygamy, larger families also meant stronger lineage, support systems, and security in old age. True, the point about elderly men becoming bachelors again after widowhood is partly true. Many older men struggle deeply with loneliness after losing a spouse because men often build fewer emotional support systems outside marriage compared to women. The hustle for life and providing for family is one of the factors behind this. There is statistics or census to this. Men are more lonely than women, it is not about not being able to stand alone or do without anyone else. Na men go find woman hand in marriage, not the other way round.
Gallup's 2025 analysis found that young American men were among the loneliest groups in wealthy countries, with 25% of U.S. men aged 15–34 saying they felt lonely a lot the previous day, compared to 18% of young women. For older men, the studies consistently show widowed, unmarried, and socially isolated older men struggle heavily once marriage, work structure, or family proximity disappears. Research also shows men often maintain smaller emotional support networks than women, meaning many rely primarily on wives for emotional connection. It is an American survey but it's the best I can use to backup my facts. This is why I wrote in my last post that men need women more than they need men. And this is why even if a man is unmarried, rich, successful, sleeping with oloshos will never cure that loneliness because you cannot buy companionship. Isn't this why they created robots for men? A companion to help him? He will also never release his sperms for an olosho to give birth to his child and he knows why I don't know how old you are but think about those you know or you have seen, who is likely to get married again between a widower and a widow? The woman can close her legs and focus on the children while the man finds it hard to do. He will remarry. Even his children will find another woman for him as his assistant but when their mom is in the same situation, they will be fighting the man that wants to marry her. A woman being celibate again won't affect her like men and now we have come to see that if a man should do that, it can affect his prostate.
Being unable to stand being alone is unhealthy, but seeking companionship and marriage because you do not want lifelong isolation is also completely human. Marriage historically existed for emotional, social, biological, economic, and generational reasons for both men and women.

occfx: Poor people Sabi Nak ooo... Chei. They no dey think anything na sex sex and na waiting an average shuga mummy dey find
You don't think Shuga mommy is thinking about giving birth to poor man pikin? Instraf of her doing that, she will risk her life sleeping with a rich/successful man, keep his child for him as the most prized secret.
sparko1: There's one little point you are missing, marriage doesn't favor a man, there is nothing to gain, everything that is provided can be gained without marriage.
Besides, marriage is overrated, we have enough population already.
But you have also heard about the male loneliness pandemic and men are having less friends because to prove that you have figured it out is to be selectively unavailable and social media is not even helping with connections. Marriage is overrated? I doubt it. It's easier for women to be alone than men and that's fact. Men still need marriage for companionship and mission.
occfx: If you are poor, marriage is not for you.. Just go look for one shuga mummy that can do ivf and marry if you must marry.
The issue is sometimes you will think you have money until you marry. E go come clear say you be poor man.
Most guys think say they get money but if they enter marriage, everywhere go first blur.
My advice be say, any money wey you dey make now as a single guy wey you think say dey enough for you, double that inflow by 5 times. Before marrying anybody.
And you think shuga mummy will take sperm of poor man?
Ogun State is like Katsina State. IYKYK. Isn't Iyabo Obasanjo now running for 2027? And two former governors of the state also running for Senate? It won't make any difference. Both states have given us presidents, vice but what they give to themselves is very sorry to say the least.
SmartPolician: Which military error? Since APC took over and destroyed everything, they are now using the military to lie up and down. APC is a party of pathological liars!
When I posted about Gbajabiamila shouldn't have said what he said about President and Elliot, I remember what Lai Muhammed told their senators.
aswani: Don't forget Peter Obí is yet to maturely congratulate President Tinubu on the 2023 election win.
I doubt he will ever congratulate the Nigerian Army on this.
I am sure Donald Trump is taking notes on those not celebrating this. Atiku and Peter Obi, be mindful of being labelled terrorist sympathisers and do the needful.
He told them to disobey the Police! Obi and his cohorts still de learn work for where APC were in 2011-2014.
Scale Fence Again, If You Are Stopped By Police, Lai Tells Reps Part 1
Marriage to a man in your tax bracket or higher eliminates some of the stress in marriage. Like it is said, a man will always drag a woman to his level; that drag might be upwards or downwards.
I am sure we have all heard stories where the wife wants to subsidise rent, school fees, food and other things (where the husband believes his manhood is tied to sole provision) and it causes a fight? The wife can afford a 3 bedroom flat; Odiegwu wants them to stay in one room so that people will not say it is his wife that is housing him. Visiting a man in one room as a lady living in 3 bed for a weekend might be a kink; moving into a one bedroom after marriage is horror. And any other lifestyle downgrade.
A colleague from service year (male) used to chuckle when I spoke about love. He said ' a rich man hates you but he gets a maid for you, buys a car for you, doesn't require you to do some chores' aka makes your life easy.
Some guys here on NL say washing machine is for lazy women. Imagine a woman above a certain tax bracket marrying such. Whilst her company expects her to use her time well for more meaningful tasks (there is a reason organizations provide certain welfare packages at certain levels), she is washing clothes by hand because her horseband thinks washing machines and blenders are lazy in 2026.
Interestingly, a woman wants to pull a man up so she is handing over contracts to him, giving him the car to drive, changing his wardrobe and packaging him as the 'man'.
Imagine a richer man wants to get a car or a cook or a bigger house or a washing man and the lower income wife says 'it is too small' or stops the purchase.
Until the dynamics of marriage changes, a woman who doesn't want to spend her life shalaying, massaging egos, or reducing herself to accommodate a man should better marry her tax bracket and higher.
God forbid she adds the stress of marrying below her tax bracket to the stress of marrying a man.
And if they are both poor, he has the capacity for growth so that when they/she blows, he is not insisting on grinding stone pepper.
Hypergamy is real no matter how women deny it. It's in their nature. That's why I tell men
YOU MUST ALWAYS WORK ON YOURSELF
The world is not fair on men but the world does not care men. They say women and children will get help before you. If you think that's a lie, see what happened in Ukraine war, who did they first prioritize to leave? Let your wife complain about you, you are not exciting, you are boring, you don't have drive. Once another woman shows interest in you, it will drive her crazy because even if she does better than the other lady or even if the girl is a househelp, she will just be mad that another woman species can see value in you as a man. Hypergamy for women is nature in action. She is built to submit to you the man. If she doesn't see your worth, she will be asking herself why she needs to submit to you. Women want leaders, not mates so those women who preach partnership are also misleading other ladies. We know this but no need to argue about it. If the man is not someone she looks up to, she will not submit to him.
This Tyler Perry movie captures the native of women and hypergamy. You are not on her level
While he was struggling financially he found out is wife had $280,000 in her bank account pic.twitter.com/CVdqSdxrwm
If she is doubt better than you, I'm sorry, your marriage age is at risk. I am not saying you should not support your woman but only the one with fear of God will know the value of the man in her house beyond a career that cannot be more than 30 years. I was watching Mr Brown say the man must never allow the woman be in charge of rent, school fees etc. Some people abused him but I absolutely agree with him. I have seen it over and over again. Women being in charge with a man who's not doing well as them is a very big test that only the one with fear of God can manage it. Eventually we will all realize after bashing marriage that no human being can survive alone. We need each other. So when they finish tearing marriage pant, I hope they don't get too old or its too late to know its importance.
I made a post about their women too. You are just a tool to give them babies and provide for them. The same reason some women want to have babies, a getaway card from life responsibilities. Dem no de tell person when life show you shege
As if what I wrote here wasn't enough, I just read this study that reveals what women would do if they won a $1m vs what a man will do but look at this one where women marry and divorce men, what do they say? It's hard for them to be alone when there's no provider
“I’ve divorced four times and each time I’ve had a party.”
In Mauritania it’s thought half of all women get divorced at least once with some remarrying multiple times. Many choose to celebrate their divorces but for the poorest there are serious consequences. pic.twitter.com/TC7il1ottH

A man will provide without conditions most of the time but that very same thing is very hard for women to do unconditionally, another reason why they become bitter.
Men, know this and know peace, WOMEN ARE NOT BUILT TO BE PROVIDERS. The moment you know that, you would have figured out a lot of things you need to know as a man.
Our main problem is the economy ant that is the problem for the west too. Why will you build a family when mortgage is expensive and house prices are ridiculous? No one wants to carry that burden.
The workforce is also changing with more women getting into the workforce so what's the motivation for men to build?
Do I really blame him? No. We have had shady characters winning elections and the bar has been lowered. It's still on record that Ogun Governor told Seun of Channels TV to go to court if he wants to find out if he finished at a University. People will take advantage of it since anyhow person now fit enter and we know the elephant in the room
SixSeven: . You are correct. I am now more confused. If he was really 15, they will know with the way he talks and carries himself. Now that I know anything can happen, is it that the 2010 dob was for a different purpose? And he didn't know today he will need nomination form for a different purpose.
It just reminds me of the former IGP Egbetokun who took pictures with people and then remembered that he can't just take pictures with anyone when they started using the pictures as endorsement. If the President's advisors were thinking they could use the guy for content, they should have done a background check first.
