The OP was just perusing his English textbook: Intensive English for senior secondary schools for book 2 page 170
There was an exercise where the students were asked to insert colon where appropriate and he saw it written as an exercise question
"MEN CREATE THE PROBLEMS, WOMEN SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES
Guys is this true or just a mere assertion?
The OP's opinion is that both sides are to be blamed for the problems they both face in marriage
For example before marriage he brings jeep to your house, you don't know whether he is an armed robber or Yahoo Yahoo, you just marry him like that
After marriage, he starts whooring and keeping late nights, then you start to complain as the wife
On the part of the woman also, the man meets her at the club or party dancing. You didn't ask about her background or her families. You just slept with her on the spot and she got pregnant
A recent study postulated on its theory that most modern ladies or girls who club or party very well find it very difficult to point at the father of their first child
Why? Because many men slept with them before the first pregnancy. But with the help of DNA tests nowadays, things are becoming easier
Like a joke that a DNA testing machine was installed on a street, then announcement was made to all the citizens there to come out for test
The women connived and packed away all their children because they knew who the real fathers of their children were initially
Today the OP will not apportion or lay blame on one gender but will make both sexes to shoulder the bigger and much larger responsibilities on issues bedeviling our society
As a guy, before you ejaculate, investigate
As a lady, before you open your legs for him, calculate
As a loving spouse or partners in betrothal, it is the responsibility of both of you to plan ahead the type of children you want to give birth to. The schools they are to attend, the friends they are to mix with and so on

TO BE CONTINUED SHORTLY, OP WILL SOON BE BACK AFTER SIPPING HIS COFFEE MEANWHILE



MEN CREATE THE PROBLEMS, WOMEN SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES
There are alot of ills in our society and all of which if not immediately treated or resolved will culminate into greater chaos
Recently, the OP saw the news of an emancipated girl dropped by a jeep at Ajah in Lagos
What caused this? Let's look at the bigger picture here. Most girls are after money or luxury, they ditch the poor broke guys with only one jeans trousers and follow the rich sugar daddies with the promise to provide them heaven here on earth!
Shopping, restaurant dinners, lunches and breakfasts at hotels are just the beginning. They will mine your pocket to the last kobo
Our society is no longer asking how you got your wealth! All that it worships and celebrates is being rich irrespective of the source of income . The topic that men create the problems and women face the consequences is a typical fallacy
It is no longer compatible with currents trends of our society. Both men and women are the problems of our society!

Men look for big breasted and big yansh or assed women to fvck! They even browse online websites where they order oloshos or slay mamas for home delivery! That is why prostitution is at a very high rate and marriage and divorce are like mere yoghurts that small children lick everyday. Ladies do not wish to get married again!
They now makeup like tomorrow is judgement day!
They bleach, they tattoo, dope their bodies, ass, under go plastic surgery, fix breasts, silicon filled B-cups, C-cups, extra large, medium size and so on
OP saw the news about a lady whose breast implants bursted on her. Come and see horrible pictures!
Why arent ladies always contented with the way that created them? They always want to add or subtract from their current body. Some of them end up smelling from excessive bleaching, fatal use of creams and body lotions in some result in skin cancer. Some turn black, some cannot stay inside the sun anymore. Some have bright faces and hands, dark legs and toes.
We usually jest and call them Fanta hands, Coke legs.
And there is this madness of the figure 8 shape they are rushing into. Like Princess Shyngle, Roman Goddess, Cossy Orrjiakor and a host of others. Recently Tonto Dikeh said that her best selling point is her vagina, just imagine what do all these people contribute positively to our society except nudity, sex, prostitution, promiscuity, lewdness and calamity.
They aren't concerned about the moral decadence of the upcoming youths, all that they care about are themselves only.
When a young girl is raped, they all troop like a pack of wolves tormenting the guy. "You are wicked" "He ought to be killed" "Cut his balls" "Many are mad few are roaming" are a fee of what they will say
One very funny issue about Nigerians is that we are very good at pointing blaming fingers at another person whereas we ourselves have a portion of the blame
Men shoot women down, women prosecute men "You did it!" "No you did it!" are all what they yell at each other everyday
OP thinks we should look at the problems in our society holistically together.
The family is the smallest unit of the society, if it is sound and healthy, then the society will be admiring and pleasing to the eyes. But what do we have ? Broken homes, single mothers, drunk husbands, naked girls, prostitution, left, right and center, mad thugs, smoking youths etc
Yet, instead of them to come together (men and women) all they do is throw tantrums at each other.
"You killed the society" "No it was you who killed the society"
Sir Isaac Newton postulated in the eighteenth century that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an I'll is widespread in our society, everybody covers their nostrils with their clothes, hands and handkerchiefs but no one grabs the shovel to pack off the stinking shit or garbage off the road!
They all troop out en masse, men and women "Ah ah why did she follow yahoo boys? " "Why did they used her for money rituals?" But no one asks the question, "Did all these things happen in the first place?"
Before an eighteen year old turns into a Yahoo Yahoo or slay mama, something must have went wrong
Either he or she was from a broken home or a single parent or from poverty stricken family
But all that the society's correctional bodies or institutions could do or would do when they catch the pocket picking boy or the yahoo yahoo guy is to tie him to a barrel and shoot him dead.
Then another thief will spring and the shoot them down cycle will continue on and on
The OP learnt something from the TV series Game of Thrones. When thieves, robbers, rapists and murderers are arrested and taken away to the Night's Watch, they try to reorientate them, not kill them instantly! They rebrand them into security watch of the kings landing. Our society can take a cue from that.
Prostitutes and Yahoo yahoo guys were given birth to by someone! How would you feel God forbid, if your offspring or progeny later grow up into a Yahoo Yahoo or prostitutes?
We need reverse psychology for a lot of things in our society.
Like the guy that spends all his money in Nairabet, or ponzi schemes like MMM. Some even borrow money to play the games. Like one popular one AJANSARE OWONJONA !! Just imagine!!!
Like a wise man also said : "There is a flesh in the body, if it is whole, the body is whole, but if it is sick, then the whole body is sick. It is the heart"
Many are sick at heart!!
Like in the title of a popular book "As A Man Thinketh". You are a product of how you think. Some think that there is paradise between a woman's legs, so they sleep with prostitutes regularly. Some think that they need to cut human parts for rituals to appease the gods before they will be rich, but even if you cut off everybody's heads in your town, will you be as rich as Aliko Dangote or Bill Gates? That is a million dollar question!
Now on the reverse side, women or men mostly point accusing fingers at each other about problems and problems and problems.
What they fail to do is to ask that what are solutions to those problems. PMB said something in 2015: " We must all be ready to face the consequences of our actions!"
1.The guy that is smoking weed like oxygen must out it at the back of his mind that he can run mad at anytime
2.The whoore or bitch that fvcks every godammn thing fvckable at any juncture, dogs, snakes, she eats shit of Dubai men for dollars, svcks men's diicks till they cum, licks the pvssies of fellow lesbians like Pastor Wilson, sleeps with machines, dildos and intimacy gadgets, parties , attends clubs, smokes shisha and gets high at every goddamn possible place must know that there will be consequences for all these actions
3.The politician that loots all the public treasury dry and still go to public radio to lie that there is no money in the state's account must know that falsehood can hold for years but the truth will prevail it even within an hour
As a woman, only you know the number of men or animals that you have slept with, the number of times that you have had abortion, contraceptive pills are like chewing gums to your mouth. All those babies that you have murdered in cold blood will ask why one day. When your husband wasn't good in bed, you then decided to try his younger brother and he fits. Since then the romp has started, it hasn't ended till date. Of all the seven children you bore, only one is for your husband, the remaining six, we both knew who their biological father is. Some women are cold blood weapons! They are land mines in your backyard. You won't want to step on them, else you will implode or self destruct! Refrain from them for your safety, move near them or close to them at your peril!
There was one woman who owns a shop near to where the OP lives. She sells during
