lorretta u: I haven't dear I did and had to leave half way. Imagine guys bragging that they end their relationship on Vals day; they are cheating on their girls etc. That thread celebrates man inhumanity to woman But then again, they are just saying what is going on out there in the real world |

@lorreta, Pls don't tell me now I'm making sense cause I didn't agree with u 100%. I hv my opinions and u hv urs. To u, urs r ok and mine r ok in my eyes. Let's leave it like that. Whether we like it or not, men are also abused physically, emotionally and psychologically like women. That's a strong fact. Both genders r affected. Chikena. 1 Like |

troy20:sorry if it sounds unfair buh d way u strted saying frm d beginning n kept on saying dt d Op opend d thread simply to bash men left me wondering cos 90% of d pple esp women that were commenting on dis thread b4 ur posts were actually blaming d woman for choosing to suffer n smile n nw she is dead, most pple didnt even remember d man until u took it upon urself to absolve him frm his faults I get ur points but everybody who was abused by his mother or even father(tho u left dt part out) does nt turn out an abuser, countless of them turns out to b loving husbands and fathers. A human being still chooses his/her path. I dunno d history btw u n d Op buh u shldnt conclude n keep on saying she opend d thread to bash men, that isnt fair to her |

@chineloSA.. women are free to be economically empowered.. Nowadays females have access to education and employment opportunities I have female colleagues and coworkers who are running tinz The best student in Bells is a female who even had to drop out of Unilorin cos she got pregnant at 18 Moreover with more people like all you here who will not take abuse, this syndrome will die out chineloSA: |

You see I didn't come here to trade blames. I didn't open this thread to say men don't get abused. I didn't come here to say women are saints and. Therefore have done no wrong in my sight. I only came here to find out why we nigerian women (most anyway)at this stage and age still put up with abuse when it happens to us. Don't try to make it look like I'm blaming the men here.when infact my anger is directed at the women for letting such things be done to them. For all of you trying to make it look like I'm doing the man bashing thing with this thread, you're wrong. If we r going to derail it into men who suffer abuse too. We might just as well create a thread for that. Simple. if we r going to talk about all the wrong things that happen in a marriage, a hundred threads won't do for them. You can do us a favour and open the thread to chastise women who abuse their men.we'll come there and condemn it too. Let's not get this one twisted.. yellowpawpaw: @lorreta, 3 Likes |

Lorretta i support you fully on this. Am completely speechless on this matter. Should i say that male specie is an slowpoke specie, NO i guess because we still have few good, lovely and tolerable men around otherwise.......I pray her soul rests in peace. |

Seperation will be more like it. I always advise ladies that are married; when your life is at stake in that marriage, get seperated as quickly as you can because you may not live to tell the story. Then, think on the next step to take... Marriage should not be a do or die affair... ![]() |

Because, to them, marriage is a job and it is better to do your best to success in the job you have than leave it to hustle for jobs where there are not enough jobs for the millions of jobless Nigerians. |

If the laws in Nigeria are "re -drafted" to ensure that a woman who has been married for a minimum of 5 years, gets at least half of her husband's assets, in the event of a divorce, trust me more of half of the existing marriages we know will come to an end. Most Nigerian women are left high and dry with kids to cater for when they get divorced. This is because the law does not protect them the way women in England and America (for example) are protected. This is one of the main reasons you see our women tolerating all sorts of intolerable behaviour from their husbands. |

lorretta u: Truly truly. All yur brain could think of is divorce abi?instead of you to think of how to tackle the root causes of these dispicable behaviour of some men. We all must say No to such attitude,make the aWareness far wide until every man in Nigeria know its a crime and wrong. Many women don't even know their rights. U are a woman,enlighten them rather than thinking of divorce,what will divorce stop? You will only see yourself jumping from one marriage to another all in the name of divorce just because you think you know what to do,creating single parents everywhere. this is african not the western world and marriage is a sacred union to us. Before I forget channel all those negative energy to positivity. |

Dannylux: It's high time Nigerians started seeing Divorce as a good alternative to a failed marriage!! Not everything can be worked out! Being too conservative will ruin us allUnfortunately, we always attach religion to everything. With that at the back of our minds, divorce is a no-no. |

Some women don't stay back in an abusive marriage because of the fact that they are financially dependent on their abusive husbands. No! Some stay back of the love they have for their kids. They don't want a situation where they would give birth to kids and leave them with an abusive father who may get re-married,and together with the new wife,be abusing the kids. |
Re: Why Is Divorce Not An Option For Most Nigerian Women? by Nobody: 4:20pm On Nov 07, 2013 |
So somehow what u understood from my thread is that I don't preach women's rights? And do you seriously suggest that a woman who already has the misfortune of being married to an abuser should stay put because this is Africa?. Yea well if most African think like this,no wonder we are so far behind the rest of the world.and shame on you for trying to keep us behind the more. Yea well if marriage is so sacred to us,we would stop abusing our partners male and female. All I see is hypocrisy and putting up appearances. Nothing like sacredness in our marriages. U dare to use the word sacred in a society where men feel it's their god-given right to cheat Where women complain about it and still do it behind doors. Oh please spare me that santimony I'm yet to see the sacredness mikeuz: |
