Ileke-IdI:
Hows the picture supposed to demean the women working hard to buy bread? Very much impressed, actually.

That's what I love about Nigerian women. . . . nothing is too demeaning for them to do to provide for their family.

@OP,
What kinda question is this? It's only a third world country that would ask such question.

c.fours:
a woman is finally getting paid to carry load on her head and all of a sudden it's considered "hard work".
what was it before when she was doing it for free? slave work?


women have always worked harder than men. that's a fact.
I think this OP is just asking if women should be paid to do hard work as a profession.

Ama28:
Sorry Nina but you talk like someone whose brain is in her mouth. Which of the ventures you mention does not require capital? Nobody will want to do strenuous and menial jobs!
Our economy has made life miserable for some people. So don't look down from ur high horse and spit out. These women are people's parents, in my line of work I have seen women doing worse jobs just to see their children through our supposed free education scheme.

engrtee: B4 women were d weaker sex.they dont work hard,just stay at home and raise the children.

Today,they want to make money. They arent satisfied wit staying at home.they want to president.they started pushn for genda equality,woman empowerment.what a man can do a woman can do better.

THEY BROUGHT IT TO THEMSELF.WHY COMPLAIN

Youngzedd:

Na condition cause am POVERTY in general.

but are there ways to keep the "weaker gender" from doing tough jobs which were supposed to be left for the men

tpia@:


you seem ignorant.

when did women stay home and not work hard?

that's a recent phenomenon, because majority of nigerian women in the olden days, had farms where they planted and harvested crops.

do you want to prove they didnt?

tpia@:
^^and how does that make you look good?

Kobojunkie:

um . . . woman have been doing hard work for millenia. From the women who helped in the building of the pyramids, the great wall of china, to those who help in wars. I think you are asking the wrong question because the answers are obvious. If you are a man and you do not want your wife to do "hard work" then you ought to, before you get married, ensure that

a) You have significant savings set aside for you two and the children you expect from your marriage

b) Get a woman who understands, agrees and is willing to work with you to achieve your goal

c) ensure the woman is at least skilled enough so she would not need to resort to doing hard labor should there come a time when the family needs her to aid in generating money for it's survival. I mean if you take a village woman with no real skills for a wife, chances are she will only get work that requires hard labor if she goes out looking for work.

van bonattel:

Made me laugh cos you didnt have an answer

afam4eva: Most women don't have the mental and physical capacity to do the work that men(not all men) do. Forget all this talk of "what a man a woman can do better" or the usual gender equality crap. Human beings are created differently and everyone has a purpose in life. It's unfortunate that some men that it's their duty to fend for their family are falling short of their responsibility, so the women have to do to take care of her family.

van bonattel:

Daft comparison, should the husband pay wages to their wife for fetching firewood and water? Who then pays the husband?

I think women should sit at home and nurse the kids while men should do all external works and bring money home. SMH on women tigers, riding their men to death and abandoning the kids at home.

Fhemmmy: Not this kinda hardwork . . . Yes a woman ought to work hard but not like this one, this kinda environment, i dont think is fair for them . .. that is the bush, even a big man like myself runs from snake, what would they do faced with such?

Efemena_xy: I've just got to ask this:

That picture of the 4 ladies with cans of water on their head, is it real? I mean they look sooooo dark!

Abi na photoshop sef?

Fhemmmy: Chairman, I am glad that we at least agreed on one thing: No human should be doing what they doing, but i just have some softspot for women that made me thing they should not be allowed to do such a job . . . i do agree with you that they need help and most would love to start a trade, but how much are they making from this kinda hard labor that would be enuf for them to be able to save anything at all . . . and to make matter worse like you have mentioned, the husband will expect such woman to run home, cook and get the kids ready fro school the following day, as a matter of fact would wanna climb such woman at night.
So here is the question, how can me and you and the rest help to change the destiny of such women?

prince_onx:
Me and you including Dangote, IBB, Dantata, Bill Gate, Nigeria government, and US government can not fix or change every single poor home out there! Where do you want to start? Remember we're only talking about the women that are into hard labour jobs! What about the ones on the street with kids begging? How many will you change their destiny? How much do you have?
I was discussing Nigeria late last month when a friend invited me to naija independent party, I really didn't see the point in celebrating anything as one Nigeria knowing very well that after the party here in the US I will not get close to any group of northerner when I visit naija for the fear of being a Christian or somebody exploding around me. Where do you start in fixing a broken system? I hate politic and this will somehow take us there! We have so called leaders and government that are both in position and financially than me and you yet they're doing nothing. To answer your question my brother, I don't know oh! Lol! I don't even think its possible to eliminate poverty completely.

You just dull my hands, cos u just painted a picture of a "No hope for the hopeless" in Nigeria and that really saddens my heart . . .
