tpia6:The most stu.pid person ever to exist on NL is you. Why do you think I have never ever had any dealings with you? You are even more of a bastard for implying I ever said that statement you cooked up from your evil calabash you use to devise evil every morning. You think I'm as irrational as you are? Today is the day I'll deal with you, you dirty im..becile. Which time did me and you discuss the kind of job I do? Do you ever see me quote your mad posts? But you always quote me. And I ignore you. You don't know that since you are a certified ret.ard, my natural inclination is to stay off your dirty, smelly path. If you are an evil mother in law, may God punish you and feed your wretched soul with maggots for breakfast, lunch and dinner . Stu.pid woman from a disgusting, devilish background. Can this idio.t hear herself? How a woman carries more weight, thereby leaving badly behaved, violent men unleashed by terroristic, ill mannered mothers like tpiah on the loose to run free without reprimand? You must be very mad for recanting such rubbish when society is moving to a point of holding BOTH SEXES ACCOUNTABLE. If that is too much for your sensibilities to handle, please take a rope and do the needful. Idio.t! |
tpia6:Where was this implied? Is the topic not about the boy-child? So we should continue the system of reprimanding daughters, forget about our sons because 'that's how it's done' in your village? ![]() Is that not how we continue to breed the cycle of evil, demonic mother in laws and egotistical sons. I believe in this century a lot of you people still caught up in the "this is our culture" fever would have a very, very rude awakening. ![]() |
Africa is a deeply patriarchal society. Men dominate the socio-economic and political machinery and organizations. Men are regarded as natural leaders who are superior and born to rule over women. Women are considered weaker vessels; extensions of men and secondary human beings. The pride of women are derived from and dependent on men.Where are those weak women again that pride themselves as inferior vessels? ![]() |
There is no way in hell my girls would be running around to cater for the needs in the house and my boys would be relaxing. That era is overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! That is how they grow up to be egotistic, overgrown babies demanding 'woman, where is my food' ready to frustrate whoever they married. ![]() |
notobs:Well continue keeping yours sacred and stop complaining. Let other people that were influenced by it use theirs as they want. I don't see the English crying we use their alphabets to write our languages or pidgin English (which is even more of a bastardization of their language). To me this is enough proof south eastern societies have had age long relationships not the newly introduced bitterness and segregation brought about by the politics of the Nigerian government. Igbo people used Nsibidi too. And it is a good thing they have brought it mainstream. You can keep yours sacred. |
aisha2:Buhaha. On a serious note, I don't think I'll be fighting for front seat. I'll sit at the back, let the boys chat in the front. What's the big deal? |
Let him be. You married a traditional man, and you want to put your 'input'. Doesn't make sense to me. This is not the time to be demanding for rights. You should have taken care of that before marriage. |
Nonso23:Nonso do you carry madam's grocery bag, or do you open doors for her? Does she sit before you sit? Those are chivalrous acts that are westernized. And that is what this woman is talking about of which is alien to us. Let's be realistic. ![]() On a serious note, I want to know how these acts depicted by this woman are important to African women. How on earth would you marry oyibo chivalry with keeping to African traditions? To me this is a useless thread as an African woman. I'm glad I have made you confess of the important roles women played in Igbo society. Since I always come across people who parade the ideology of women being tied up in the kitchen only and for child rearing purposes. Why then do you guys parade an ideology that women's voices are supposed to be silent? I'll tell you why! The British did not elevate female political institutions in Igboland and were left to obscurity, and the men ran along with it. Today the umuada is nothing other than a marriage ceremony extortion piece. Today what we have is a bastardized tradition that promote the idea that a woman should be silent with an added edge of christianity and islamic religion. And this is what I am determined to change. ![]() Any misbehaviour of an African man to the African woman is a reaction to balance the tilt their (women) deviance and overt readiness to adopt what they know little or nothing about created.Nope. In Igbo culture there is something called sitting on a man where women demanded for rights long before the colonialists. This was the method used to bring recalcitrant, badly behaved husbands to book. So no, misbehavior is not as a result of what a woman must have done. My formothers attest to this. That is why they organized themselves in groups, and any husband that exhibited bad behavior was dealt with. Men have always been troublesome! |
Nonso23:Lol! No be Ilekokonit write am? I should stop assuming? Why is it on an African forum then when being chivalrous to women is alien to us ? Na you dey carry madam grocery bag? Se na you dey open car doors for madam? It is highly westernized to help women carry load. African women carry their loads themselves and is called to pamper the man and not the other way round. African women that are not feminist should abide by the rules of being the quintessential African woman as posted by the emeritus prof himself ilekokonit. I've noticed they wanna have it both ways. Mba nu Nonso! we must all choose one. ![]() For further ways to know how to act like the correct African wife, here is a documentary on the Afar women. All what the men did was to rear cows, sleep, eat, drink and sleep again rotflmao! The women built their huts themselves, even agadi nwanyi. Why should an African man carry the load for an African woman, that is so Westernized abeg! [img] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23-Dk9SA9V4[/img] |
I'm not 40 but I'm 35 and single, do I count? ![]() |
It's their choice. They are adults. As far as it's not a child that is being married off. Polygamy is the least of my concern. Women are not babies. |
Op sorry, but if you are looking to buy red boxers as someone suggested, please contact me. I sell them. This is every wife's kryptonite o! Don't carry last abeg. https://images.hisroom.com/items/mansilk-man002-m333-gsz.jpg https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/4/4/3/2/5/5/webimg/84599725_tp.jpg |
You see, I'm kind of psyched to be raising my boys as gentlemen. I am proud to raise them to be hard-working and dedicated providers. I am raising them to treat the women in their lives like princesses, and to make eye contact with, and say hello to, everyone they meet. I am raising them to appreciate the beauty in a person based on what that person believes and how that person makes my boys feel, not on what that person is wearing or how much of their skin is exposed.I hope this woman is not African otherwise she's utterly confused. Chivalry is NOT an African construct! All the above are evidence of confusion. Hugs and pecks on the cheek? Hahahaha Fela the quintessential African sang I no be gentleman at all, I be African man original! ![]() Na woman they do the above for man in Africa o. When an African man pays the bills on a date he expects se.xx in return! Lol I see a lot of women want the perks of either side, rotflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() If you are not a feminist, you have to be the quintessential African wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() You can't pick or choose.

damiso:Ok let me paraphrase do African christian men imbibe the exceptional qualities of Jesus Christ? ![]() We can say some men are not egocentric, but reality shows men even evident on NL crying always for their egos to be kissed be it christian or animist. ![]() The word head defined by attaining the qualities of Jesus Christ is a biblical construct. African culture/religion practices something else not headship. Those who are not christians better choose something else to call themselves. Maybe oga! Those who choose to be called heads must exhibit the qualities of Jesus Christ. On the other hand, do you think there's more emphasis on female submission than teaching the qualities of Jesus Christ to men in churches today? |
Lol ![]() This was definitely the year of the FEMINISTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Respect!!!!!!!! 2015 would even be greater! ![]() Even Obama is a feminist, hahaha. Whether for political votes or not, he knows he gotta please the feminist! ![]() https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/shakespeares_sister/obamams2.jpg |
In 2014 you are still asking this question and people obviously from Pluto would still be asking what women are 'complaining' about. |
I love geeks. I love geeks. I love geeks. I love geeks. |
1 .the head of the family is the one who charts the course and vision for the family.i see it more as s duty and responsiblity rather than an automatic lordship title. I choose it see again from the Christian view as a sacrificial giving role and not necessary a 'lord of the manor' thing.Christ was a servant leader and that what is the head of the home should be.again I acknowledge not everyone is going to tow that school of thought so each to his ownBut Damiso do African men practice the attributes of Jesus Christ? That is the koko. ![]() Was Jesus a walking bag of ego? Or a symbol of humility and grace? Let's be honest, is the African man a symbol of humility and grace? ![]() Was Jesus going about seeking for whom to kiss his black yansh and ego? ![]() Omotola Jalade Ekeinde's husband cannot say sorry to her, is that Christ-like? She cited ego as the problem, lol. At this rate, African men will not make heaven, lol. |
It's not too early to tutor your child. But not the way Nigerians do it with the cramming, memorization. The neighbours child could just be a better crammer. The brain is highly plastic even more so at childhood. Use this time to develop their brain, before it passes them by. |
^^^Lol. |
The discussion so far is nothing other than throwing around some grammatical jargon to deviate from the debilitating factor that a woman is defined by either her father as a child, then the husband in Nigeria and every other retrogressive society. Patriarchy, the most unchecked, bastardized system that has ever graced the face of the earth, enslaving what constitutes as an important contributor to society can no more be permitted to run loose without checks and balances. Feminism (if you like call it gender equity, equality, fairness, complementarity, mango and onions) MUST exist as long as patriarchy does to avoid such tyranny from ever coming back. Naijababe you say you don't believe in gender equality and in that same breath you are asking where are the true Nigerian men .How come? Nigerian men don't believe in gender equality, you don't. What's the problem? I would expect that you enjoy the current system of things. I hope you are not trying to eat your cake and have it. |
She was the aggressor and she hit him first. I don't support ill-mannered, beastly people. As per physical abuse in response to verbal abuse, both affirmative and non-affirmative answers to this question can be bastardized. If we said no, physical abuse should not be the response to verbal abuse, human beings would take advantage and shoot their mouth faster than a speeding bullet. Then we say physical violence is justifiable, oh dear I'm sure some people on this thread would turn their houses into a WWE monday night smackdown. Our responses are subjective at the end of the day. People should just act with manners and respect each other. But I know this is just an idealized speech, hehehe. ![]() |
yaskarahyelhope:The likelihood is that you would end up with men who have been around the block. What is the joy in that? He's getting top quality goods and what do you get in return? A rotten, overused, tokunbo, quarter to die equipment. I see virginity as a thing for your faith and principles only! The husband part is not needed. |
EnlightenedSoul:Whether women pay dowry or the men pay bride price is at the detriment of females in any misogynist, patriarchal society where the laws do not protect them. It is not any better either way. My answer was based on the conditions that the woman becomes the head eliminating the clause of patriarchy and under the protection of moral, just laws. |
coogar:Yes I'm surprised in this day and age where Se..xx is one of the easiest commodities. If these ladies stand on the street and say they want to loose their virginity, I bet no less than 1,000,000 men will turn up. ![]() |
coogar:Power over you! Jesus has redeemed us from the curses. Headship in christianity is a spiritual thing. But since men refuse to go to church and be a spiritual lead, the mantle has been taken away from them! ![]() Like the way God took away the kingdom from Saul! ![]() Every church you go to there are more women than men! More women for headship! ![]() |
coogar:The same way Nigerian girls run after expatriates in Nigeria. I guess those expatriates will claim they are the salt of the earth and honey in the honeycomb. Which yeye research? Besides I can never ever believe women chase Nigerian men. Nigerian men are ho,,rny 24/7. They are the hunters. I've lived it, I've seen it, I breathe it. ![]() well - what can i say?At innocent me's expense? oyibo men don't do chores too....Tell an african man to eat out, let's see if he won't start poking iya basira the food seller. Were you not here where some entitled men were against gadgets in the home to make life easy for the wife? I mean why won't the African woman have a permanent hardened stare on her face. |
coogar:What do you think the forbidden fruit stand for? Your hymen of course! ![]() Eve ate it that is why we will continue to have power over you despite the noise!!!!!!!!! No I don't wish to be you. Because I have realized the power I have over you. Every Adam must fall for his Eve! ![]() I am the original Eve! ![]() |
coogar:Stern looks are not in our DNA. It is as a result of environmental influences. If we were dealing with oyibo men we would not be stern. But we are dealing with African men, Nigerian men. Bloody hell! For example, growing up in Nigeria I was a jolly, little, go lucky child until Naija men did not let me rest everywhere I turned. I had to develop my stern, angry face to keep them off before I bring home a bastard! You black men don't waste time to give your women little bastards to bring to the world. So I have to be extra extra careful. ![]() Of course you boys don't do chores, that is why the stern face will continue. Oyibo men do chores that's why their women are always smiling and easy to talk to. |
coogar:No men are not free, because my bible tells both of us to flee from fornicationnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() God has sanctioned both of us to be virgins. And there is nothing you can do about it.If you don't abide to his will, you will go to hell and burn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() |
coogar:Buhahaha, you are not serious. True this current contest get as e be. But, why won't they have stern looks when all their lives they were the ones doing all the chores in the house while the boys went out to play football. You too will have a permanent stern on your face. Coogar confess did you ever do any chore growing up? I'm sure your sisters were helping you clean your bum bum until you turned age 29. ![]() |

That is how they grow up to be egotistic, overgrown babies demanding 'woman, where is my food' ready to frustrate whoever they married.
