Oga Fhemmmy, I will tell you why soon grin

Lightening:
Women financial independence and otherwise is the greatest incentive to rocky marriage and eventual divorce. Check the profile of all known divorcees.
We can advocate more of financial empowerment for women which does not equate to independence.
This is a lie, an independent woman does not necessarily mean a bad wife. if a woman has a bad character she will be a bad wife regardless of whether she is independent or not.
The woman in ugochukwu360's story (lwkmd) was not independent and she was still a bad wife.

Treasure103: Nice but to an extent ooh; a man should be a man so that he can be respected very well.
That's the disadvantage of most women earning money even more than their husband, this is when you see them embarrassing their husband in public.

But hey women should learn to keep/develop their own properties. smiley

bebe2: i totally agree wit the post,
those are the advantages wat about the disadvantages??


financially independent women can be sturbborn to their husbands.

they can have the '' wat do i need a man for?? '' syndrome

pls add more if u want, i no fit worry myself undecided undecided

You started it well but ended it poorly... Being financially independent is one thing, having the right attitude to marriage is another. I have seen a woman who was no where being financially independent and proving stubborn. on the other hand, I have seen financially independent women becoming totally submissive to their husbands. It is not the money rather, it is about individual. I will give my wife the much needed support to be financially independent and in fact, I respect ladies who don't rely on men to eke out living.

hod898: Yeah its gud for women to be financially independent, but most men just want their wives to be housewives and 'serve the house' in an annoying way. They just don't care about their wives' dreams. This becomes bad especially if the woman is ambitious bcoz she begins to feel uncomfortable with her husband and tinges of regret lurks behind.

Which generation are you talking about? Because even my grandmother wasn't a full time housewife.
I am of the feeling that the op's thread is almost irrelevant. Go to the farms and markets of Nigeria and you will see that women control retail trading.
As for successful women being loose, that is quaint and old-fashioned. How can a high profile female executive sleep with who for what?
What women do with their money? Wait until the man dies and you see the family running smoothlessly. Then you'll appreciate that she's been covering for him all those years

I am not talking about contributing peanuts or earning peanuts, I am talking about the ability to fully take care of herself without any assistance from anybody. That is why I said 'financially independent'.
Most of those women doing trading are merely contributing in bits to the upkeep of the household and they still rely largely on their husbands for their sustenance.

@Op,*high five*.....You've said it all.I do tell myself I won't get married until I can boast of some amount of money in my bank account.I pity women who have to depend on their husbands for everything.I know what someone close to me is going through and I've read and heard many stories.Walahi! a woman needs to be financially independent o.

Most importantly, a financially independent woman wouldnt sleep around.

This is one big reason why my wife would be the working type kinda lady.

Get busy and dont go seeking for financial aids from that Chief living next door cheesy
Re: Why Women Should Be Financially Independent. by Nobody: 4:44pm On Oct 16, 2013
Let's not kid ourselves, on average..the more financially independent women become, the higher their insolence. Its good for women and the society in all ramifications. But, it reduces men's leverage on women terribly!

Actually, it's not true. A financially independent woman has a higher tendency to sleep around. Statistically proven!

That's one major reason why it's very important for women to be independent.

They don't rely largely on their husbands. Many of them make far more money than their equally poor husbands.
Sorry if it hurts! But your topic has been long overtaken by events. It's insolent to be advising career women who are medical doctors, lawyers, lecturers, bankers(and the number is increasing daily) that they ought to work and earn a living.
Unless of course, you're writing to our brothers who live (you know where) who will not allow a girl to go to school.
But if the Northerners are the beneficiaries of your message, take your campaign there because they are not on NL

Sorry if my voice sounds shrill. But the issues we are managing in my group is joint account, wives earning more than their husbands, coping with a spouse losing a job, how to split the bills etc
Not whether a woman can survive on her own without depending on a man financially

That your boss is just an individual and we cant generalize all women based on her and her attitude . . . It is well, Pal

Statistically proven?

Are u trolling or what?

A financially independent woman is strong willed and principled, she calls the shot and isnt an adamic nuisance to the society.

What could give rise to her throwing legs wide for men when she've got what u're offering?

I bet u meant cougars and nymphomaniacs who've got psychological issues to deal with.

No, I'm not sexiest and I believe in fair equality, although my boss still remains what I said she is.

Instead of reducing the man's leverage,
It can challenge the man to up his acts/hussle.
It is a man with inferiority complex who measures his influence vis-a-vis what's in the wife's purse!

Mr Man, I don't have time to argue. If you don't know, get it today. Financially independent women are more inclined to sleep around. Studies and studies have shown that.

Show us the studies, where are the sources that show a correlation between promiscuity and the level of Independence??

The women I know don't even have the time to be sleeping around. They are busy pursuing their careers and are more than happy to find time for one partner.

You'd be doing urself a lot of good by providing credible links and surveys that supports your ludicrous notion or better still outline the premise that laid a foundation to it.

I dont argue with mates, i'm here to learn and ofcourse put folks in order when they misyarn.
