to pull runs

@Sugarbelly

I'd rather the man use the wedding ring money and build me a damn 900 square foot walk-in closet.

Nonsense.

Na only "Closet"? What of Prison??

If the Ring is "Stupid" and "Ugly", You should not have even accepted it AT ALL, in the first place!
Ofcourse, you wan marry now, abi?
Back-stabbers!

No wonder Nigerian women are "Rated as highly too-Materialistic", by other women folks!

Shioo, shiooo

Let me make something clear. Stop thinking that Nigerian women are so terribly desperate to marry you. Sure a lot of stupid women treat marriage as if it's a do or die competition but it isn't. Men are not God's gift to earth and bad or cheap men certainly aren't. Marriage is a privilege women agree to bestow on men so get off your high horse.

And materialism is not a bad thing. Materialism ensures your children can go to school. Materialism ensures you have food to eat.

P.S.

There is no such thing as "women folks". Folk is already plural.

,  Sure a lot of stupid women treat marriage as if it's a do or die competition but it isn't. Men are not God's gift to earth and bad or cheap men certainly aren't.

Ignoramus of the highest order!

Ab initio, let me apologize to women folk in general for my comments that would follow.
I appreciate womanhood, more so the "married category", its something you can be proud of, being an institution ordained by God.
Even more so, l doff my hat for those married women who are "fit for purpose", in the "marriage institution"!

Having said those, let me itemize a few things to "Sugarbelly".

1.) God created MAN, in HIS own image (Gen 1:27) => MEN are actually gods, so to speak!

2.) God saw that all HE had made was "BEAUTIFUL", including "MAN"! (Gen 1: 31) => MAN is beautiful, even by God's standard! , and on the 7th day, HE rested (Gen 2:2)

3.) And God said "l will make a HELPER suitable for him". (Gen 2:18) => WOMAN is a "helper" to man, and some "helpers", as seen in "Sugarbelly", are actually "not fit for purpose"!

4.) Then God made a WOMAN from his RIB,  taken out of the MAN!, and brought her to him. (Gen 2:22)
          .
          .
          .
5.) And God said to the Man, "Because you listened to your wife (as against HIM) and ate, cursed is the ground because of you! (Gen 3:17)

6.) An God said to the woman, "I will greatly increase your pain in child-birth, Your husband will rule over you!(Gen 3:16)

Heavy words, but true to the letter!
Thats God's position on the issue, not mine.
So, to say "MEN are not God's gift to the world", is definitely a clear verdict on your "level of intelligence"!

Marriage is a privilege women agree to bestow on men so get off your high horse.

Arrant nonsense, stop spewing ignorance openly! Who is marrying who?
Marriage is not even a privilege, whether from a man or a woman, its an "agreement to a commitment" from both parties!
I doubt if you have "secured" such commitment?

And materialism is not a bad thing. Materialism ensures your children can go to school. Materialism ensures you have food to eat.

Go take a 'Dico' and look up "Materialism"!
Its "the tendency to give undue attention to material interest, against, over and above spiritual concerns".
Abi, spiritual people no dey chop?
, and if you took your time to "understand" what l wrote earlier, instead of looking for 'error',  you will note the "adjective" l used to qualify the word "Materialism", a verb.: Highly too materialistic,

P.S.
There is no such thing as "women folks". Folk is already plural.

Yeye small pikin like you wants to "tackle" grammar with me?!
Abeg, you never reach
It is not "FOLKS" that is already plural as you claimed!, it is the word "WOMEN"![/color]
Typographical error that you cant even comprehend, yet you want to correct others!
It should read "women folk"

Go to school and come back in about Ten years time or when you bag a PhD, that is if you have the "mental capability"!

BTW:I dont have time and l dont want to "engage" with you.

According to "Winston Churchill,” When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber”

Go "jabber" elsewhere P-L-E-A-S-E!

No, not me.
The text says "other women folk".
I actually read such comments from non-Nigerian men/women, about Nigerian women, on the issue of Materialism, on different threads and websites. In other cases, such pronouncement was made during verbal conversations.
Mind you, it is "their opinion" of Nigerian women, not necessarily true (as some ratings are), and "generalizing" it is certainly  "statistically contestable".

I made the inference as a reference to those who postulate that their "husband is stupid" as long as the wedding RING used is not Diamond!

Thank you.

So pathetic. so some fools can still try 2 liken dem selves. wen we all no wat happened 2 adam n eve and satan wen dey tried 2 b like God

@lastpage: Wow. you just made the most idiotic statement I ever heard. God is a SPIRIT meaning that God is neither male nor female. God has NO GENDER.

Olodo rabata!

erm , who is your mother?

@op do they? I havnt noticed that.

Yeah they do and they aint denying it. They just giving reasons from "its heavy", "its ugly"(a fact they didnt realise initially) to its uncomfortable.

To me those are minute and lame excuses.
Why have a wedding band if you end up removing it?
Engagement ring maybe, just till the housework is done if its getting in the way.
Every woman to their own I suppose. If the hubby aint complaining, then no wahala.

May be their hubby is cheating on them and dey want to do d same thing back

Wedding rings are not part of our culture so they are not compulsory. A woman shouldn't get flak for removing her wedding ring if she doesn't like it.

Easier for them to do the washing, scrubbing and cleaning

Nigerian married women do not discard their wedding rings at all.Men are the ones who throw it away,so that they will be running after other ladies.

Another assumption.
Why would they throw it away cos they wanna run after babes, when babes even will date a married man knowingly?

There are better things to be proud about. Nigerian women need to stop being brainwashed that marriage is the ultimate achievement. Yeah so you're married, so what? Will the clouds open and heavenly music begin to play?

it might not be the utmost achievement, however, it is an achievement.
There are so many things to be proud of when it comes to marriage.
Knowing you have someone to share your good and bad with, knowing someone will always be worried about your movt and waiting for your return is a great thing and should be proud of it.
Knowing u have a companion is a great thing and someone to love you for you.
However, i am not saying it is the ultimate, but it is great milestone and i don think that Nigerian ladies are being brainwashed at all.
Go to western world too, and you will see a white woman worried about growing old without a man in her life.

Are people still arguing about this?
The people who are claiming that Nigerian women are throwing their rings away,i have no idea where you saw them. Most of the ones i have seen love wearing their rings. And what if she doesn't wear it? She might have her reasons. I personally don't wear my rings in the house, just when i'm going out.
@ sugabelly i'm loving your replies but marriage is an achievement, not ultimate but an achievement. People who married for the right reason and who are enjoying their marriage are glad they got married. Other people will actually envy such a relationship.

Wedding rings should be worn,it's a sign of respect to your marriage and to your spouse.

well said @ Ejadamen

@sugarbelly

Please, let everyone believe what they believe and do what they wish to do. The fact that you do not believe in marriage or may not be enjoying your marriage does not mean you should try to brainwash everybody into hating marriage or having same views on marriage as you. and yes, I am one of those women that are very proud of their wedding rings and i am proud to be married and i see my marriage as a great achievement plus i am enjoying my marriage sooooooooooo much. There is nothing anyone can say or do to change my thinking towards marriage.

their eye no done!

I'm not married. And the fact that I believe that Nigerian women are brainwashed into thinking that marriage is an achievement they must strive for at all costs does not mean I hate marriage. People like you are the ones that go around stressing the MRS in your name so that everyone will know you're married. I have no desire to even attempt to change your thinking, the kind of brainwashing that goes on in our country runs too deep for me to even try.

And by the way, you who is sooooooo proud to be married, how long do you want to bet until your husband starts tapping teenage ass?

My guess is,  it won't be too long.

Call me when your husband starts hissing at young girls passing by the road through the tinted windows of his SUV

This your campaign for babies to be named Femi is a serious one for it to pop up in different threads. What does it mean? The name?
