Chops the knuckle

Well, the main ingredient for a lasting marriage is love. If I love a Mexican-American or Caribbean-American lady, I don't see why I shouldn't take the relationship one step further.

No culture/nation has a monopoly of 'humble' wives, or wives that love to cook..

Honestly, I love your submission.

abbey621:
If believing in the concept of respecting your husband or wife, honor and loyalty, the self integrity of being a provider, being head of the household and playing your God given role is 19th century thinking then we Africans are so lucky!

Don't get my point wrong....
What you listed up there are good values.

I'm talking of the extreme cases......
Like feeling you have the right to treat your wife as shit (many men from Nigeria have no problems with this, we both know that)

Deliberate misbehaviour (We know we are all human and we make mistake, but doing things anyhow, because you feel your wife can not do shot is 19th cemtury thinking)

And the list goes on.

He/She who does not value family should not get married )

CFCman:
I fit marry from any nationality...

Chop knuckle.

claremont:
Naija women living overseas have become more westernized than the westerners themselves. This is why the average Nigerian man living abroad will rather marry a fat white woman than a Nigerian woman living overseas. I have seen and heard situations were Nigerian/African women have ruined the lives of promising young men by formulating fictitious tales of domestic abuse and rape, simply because they want to get hold of his assets.

I like that point you made Mr. Claremont, being more western than westerners...

For some of them I have met, oh lawd, too obnoxious.
The laws are there to protect women, not for you to threaten and ruin men, but because they know they can manipulate their way, they turn everything up side down

abbey621:
I don't know about any other country but the U.S is a demonic country that ends upsucking the life out of most men at the same time make women power hungry. Due to the feminist theory, the democrat controlled government tries really hard to over compensate for what they termed as injustice. From women's rights to gay rights,real men are no longer seen as a priority. To illustrate consider the rankings:

1. White Women
2. White Male
3. Asian and Hispanic females
4. Asian and Hispanic males
5. Black females
6. Black males.

The above illustrates the real problem black males face in the U.S. A country where shows like real housewives of L.A or Atlanta, Dr. Phil, Oprah and so on. Men are learning to accept their role as number 2 in the house while women are encouraged to take control. This to an African man is a taboo. Imagine not being able to rely on your wife to cook you a good meal or not being able to give your parents or siblings money without getting permission from your wife. Imagine not being able to have an argument with your wife without her calling the police and getting you kicked out of your own home. Our African brothers believe those women back home though they are not perfect are still respectful of the society and traditions to be humble. Of course this theory is not perfect as we have seen a lot of guys coming back home to marry women related to lucifer but as an African man the reward outweighs the risks!

I think the major problem with we Africans, who live in western countries is that there is this socio cultural expectation(s) that was ingrained in us, about how a man/woman should act/behave etc, and because it is in contrast with the liberal societal expectations of the West, then it causes friction.

Let like minds marry each other biko

If your brain and expectation is still stuck in the 19th century, then you know what to do

Na wa for this thread o

HammerTheirPapa:
The guy never jam. Let him show that passport at any european airport and watch how the immigration will ransack his luggage and even switch on a touchlight into his butthole looking for bombs and contrabands.

Lol!!!!
It's not that bad.
At least, not in my own experience sha

40manlappy:
Thanks. But how is hotel accommodation in these places, especially the beach areas?

Honestly, I don't know.
But you can check www.jovago.com
There you will see the prices for the various cities you wanna visit

amtaken:
Ghanaians can lie that they are from Zamfara State and get their Naija passports.


Any black man can claim to be a Nigerian, eg Buhari and Aisha are from Chad.

Lol

It does not exactly work like that, besides, you have to bring documentation too.......
Lastly, can someone named Yeboah or Edinah claim zamfara? Lol....
not possible

amtaken:
They all have it. Even folks from Cotobou, Gambiaa etc have it.

Why would they want to have a Nigetisb passport?

Besides, in the past, this was possible, but right now, with the biometrics and stuff, it is hard for anyone to just get a Nigerian passport.

If you think I'm lying, just pretend that your passport is missing, and see how you will sweat before getting another one.

Victorvexz:
How can u benefit from Nigeria when u have lost everything after the war. There was a time igbos were the once clamoring for one Nigeria with Azikiwe, that was when the going was good and Igbo dominated politically. But since the war ended, thing have changed, and u re now at the bottom. Sorry for u bro, I understand ur frustrations, u will only rant, u and ur tribe cannot do anything to undermine Nigeria unity, I challenge u and ur tribe today. Anyway take heart, it really suck to be ur tribe

So what is your point now?

amtaken:
Is it the same Nigerian passport that all my Ghanaian friends have?

Your Ghanaian friends have Nigerian passports?

Wetin man no go hear.

bc0de:
Seriously? Who did this to you?

He is 100% right... Abi you don't know what discipline is?

emmyid:
African parents sha. Some persons will say it is discipline, training bla bla bla. All lies, how disciplined are we when we grow up. A white man is far more disciplined than a typical Nigerian man. Al this upbringing just make us hard hearten and stubborn. Speaking from experience!

Exactly

This thread is hilarious

bigtt76:
The US have access to database containing scanned passports and finger prints so if you've traveled to say Ghana by air and got your passport scanned, they have that access. Claiming not to have traveled before to another country when infact you had, automatically invalidates your visa application on grounds of lacking trust on the applicant

Is it just the USA or all Countries that has access to this?

Brigadier7:
USA( based here) Nigeria(9ja for life) Mexico Canada Panama Bahamans Costa Rica El Salvador Colombia Norway Denmark Germany France U.K. Jamaica I wish to visit not less than 50 countries before I turn 60

Amen to that

Zico5:
The most dangerous set of people in Nigeria are wailers and I look at them and I see nothing good. Thank God they are just 5% that has no weight in our polity. See the way they bombard fashola for the inspection in the former thread and see the way they tone down on wike. If u people are waiting to displace Apc with ur dead PDP, u are really on long thing o cos u go wait tire. Apc should just continue on making life better for citizens and leave the rest to God

You don chop this morning?

maigida511:
Pls for all those saying rubbish about buhari,he is not the one that made you poor jst ur lazyness.when he did thesame for the christains in 2015 where were you people? This is sumtin the govt does for evri pilgrim be it muslim or christian,but I blame the networks dat made data so cheap dat evri jack and jill comes on line and yarn trash about what they don't have facts on all because their man,a sitting president couldn't win an election.pls get over it and think of how you can make better use of your time..

What are u saying now?

Whether he did it for Christians or not is not the issue.
The issue is that it is wrong, and does not make economic sense

GuyfawkesAB:
Your head dey dis.
Shebi you saw Emir Sanusi's wives and daughters on vacation. Were they on cover all hijabs? Abi Sultan of Sokoto and Dangote's daughters are fully veiled? Even Buhari's son, Yusuf is not a tebliq, neither is Kwankwaso or Atiku Abubakar's. It's always the very poor ones that are chained by Religion.

Will you mind them?

49cents:
What do you mean by control?

Value is determined by supply an demand and not by control not by any armchair control

How would N199 pegging affect the price in a black market? If not only making round tripping extremely tempting?

FG has made 130 naira per dollar more since the devaluation

FG needs more to encourage more export, backward integration, buying Naija....


Instead the NASS bought Prados rather than Innosson jeeps and you wonder why dollar is on free fall!!!!

Don't mind them......


holding the peg would have depleted the reserves

Miranda11:
Who was President of nigeria in 2009? i believe it was that person who appointed Sanusi as CBN Governor, why didn't he tell Yaradua then that subsidy was a scam or challenge Obasanjo that subsidy was a scam?

Jonathan tried to remove subsidy during his time and Sanusi was the CBN gov then, because Jonathan knew it was a huge scam but the APC people in power now fought against it, only for the same APC people who supported Sanusi to become Emir of Kano, to turn around and remove it.

Sanusi was also part of the foolish people that created the policy, so please who is scamming who here?

Sanusi created the policy ?

Na wa o

Sanusi was one of the arrowheads for the removal of the subsidy...

grodt999:
Buy ibo rice at your own risk, the ibos are number one importer of chinese rubbish and chinese factories.
The chinese are now using human genes to make rice, check it out...I say ibos already started doing something illegal with it

Why do you guys hate Igbo people too much like this?

isnovic:
[b]I do not think they are wrong here.
To kill someone for the sheer fact he is Igbo does not augur well for Nigeria and anyone for that matter.

If the Northern person can claim the oil in outback of SS and SE.
If the Yorubas can claim development and the federal infrastructure built by the tills of the oils and taxes of traders, workers of igbos and non igbo alike.
Why should the Igbo not be able to claim any land where they live, pay their dues and legitimately do their business Legit business that it.


This is the same notion held since 1960 that has kept the country backward. the country tried to firewall the Igbos even as way back 1962. Just 2 years after independence.
Why? Nigerians and indeed the Northern Elite had the notion igbos where arrogant, too forward, forceful and their never-back-down spirit. These notions is still prevalent today. Instead of embracing their nature, free entrepreneurial spirit and celebrating their acceptance of one Nigeria as pronounced in the No Victor No Vanquish statement after the war.

They are rather hounded, suppressed and told to be grateful and be respectful to their hosts anywhere outside the east else they will repeat what they did in the past. A sad macabre genocide in my opinion. With the proponents still in power and majority of them alive today.

My dear, a fool dies so many times before his death.

the Igbos are dearing. It is there nature.
We all can not be the same thing.

We should tolerate our difference, as even with all their mouth or "supposed"arrogance they still move to Lagos or North to do their business because they know at the end it all about securing your life and pronounce that you are alive, since there is a silent agreement to shut-out the igbos.

They blocked them from employment in early sixties in the North.

They introduce the Quota system to curtail the numbers of igbos and indeed southernerns (including the Yorubas who were reluctant to join the Army prefering Civil services and white collar jobs instead) in the Civil services and other professions even when on merit they are clearly better then the others.
From 1966-1970 the Nigeria state under the young military officers of which the present President was the driver of the truck that picked up the killed Igbo military men in the 1966 Northern Coup and the extensive Killings of Igbos and other Southernerns in the North for the fear they are Igbos and the fear of Decree 34 announced by Agunyi Ironsi.

My dear, if you are from this tribe you will do worst after what they have been through in the hands of Nigeria.


So don't blame them.
Walk in their shoes or read their history then you will understand their angst.

I read it and i have not remained the same again as i could not reconcile my hatred against these people before now.

I sympathise with them now. We need to talk about the 1960 to 1999 Igbo conundrum for them to be at peace.[/b]

Thank you very much for your comment

Only if other ethnic groups have been through what the Igbo has faced.


But one thing I know is...... Come what may, born in every Igbo man is an unquenchable zeal to succeed, and no matter what we face, we still thrive and progress,, whether anybody likes it or not

ImtiazNupe:
Igbos are not respecting the dignity of Hausas, they occupy all places with churches and it's very hard to see one Mosque in Igbo town.
For that if they are angry bcuz of two Ndigbo that was killed for committed crime in Kano then, they should all leave entire north and go back to their land. We can't work with criminal and we can survived without them by God grace. Traitors......

How do you know that they committed crime?

mrkayusfit:
Even though i condemn the killing of innocent people, i think the Igbo's need to be law abiding and respect their host for peace to thrive. Not everyone will be peaceful and accommodating like the yoruba's who ignored several provocations from the Igbo's despite calling Lagos a no man's land, calling yoruba's tenants in lagos, and calling Oba of lagos names for stating his opinion concerning governorship elections. Even though we are one Nigeria, i think the Igbo's should stop their dominating attitude and let peace reign when they are away in the SW or North

Which one is host again?

Are you guys paying their house rent to call them host?

And it is the same country I, so which one is host again?

MasterRahl:
Macbooks are manufactured in the US hence the citizens acquire it at cheap prices. Anyway, methinks there's no need for this comparison. Most white folks live fake lives. They live on credit that's why they rely heavily on the credit card system which they must pay back. We in naija use debit cards mostly hence your account must be well funded before you can make a purchase. My point is I believe in Nigeria. I'm not carried away by whatever happens in the West. Nigeria shall be great.

Lol @White people living fake lives.

That is the highest level of delusion.

cheekyleggy:
If you have known poverty , your view would be different. If you know women who suffered in the hands of the men in their lives simply because they were not empowered, you would know why your mother made her choice. If you've seen women thrown out on the streets because their husbands died, you would understand that career choices can make a home.

Although a balance would need to be created so that the kids don't suffer. These things are not mutually exclusive.

That's another angle to it, the psychology.....

You are right

In my opinion, I think both can be achieved, maybe not at the same time, but it can be achieved.

But for this to be achieved, one needs the full support of the partner in working things out, and to cover any vacuum you may leave while you are out there pursuing what you are pursuing.

And besides, I think Family should come before career, as there is nothing to balance; Career has expiry date, but your family lasts even after you are gone.

But that does not mean that one (be it a man or a woman) cannot have a good career, and a stable family to be proud of.
