what has dog/horse gotta do with? were we dogs/horses when our parents trained us in school?
some men are selfish of course, i would be the first to admit that but when a man goes to his village to train a woman up to a standard then the least the woman could do to repay him back is to stand by her man - not use her wealth to bite the finger that fed her.
you forget something important, without these men in their lives, they would be in their villages cracking palm kernels. grin

yes, that same student loan paid for her ticket, processed her visa and housed her before she entered school, isn't it?
the modern day woman is ungrateful - if it's that easy, why didn't her own parents put her on the plane to study abroad?

i am not in support of men maltreating women - but let's call a spade a spade.
most nigerian women tend to misbehave whenever there's a little upgrade in their lives.

Ronke, the men are st'pid and selfish to think that they "own" their wives. However, there is something to be said for loyalty and gratitude. Women that come from their villages to the US and then think they are too good and special to stay with their husbands are not exactly saints, especially not if they leave their husbands for richer men.

so men are control freaks for leaving the city girls who are already damaged goods and going to the village to find well-grounded women?

Re: Is Marriage Worth It For Guys? by ronkebp(f): 5:35pm On Feb 10, 2012
Coogar, when men (Nigerian men -some though) start to appreciate the wives they have and not treat them as secondclass citizens in their own houses, they will be having good marraiges, as long as they want to remain with the '' i am the man and what i say and do is law'', then their arses will always be dumped.

I have an uncle, he used to leave in the States and he is back to Nigeria now (and that is one in a million), i can not explain the type of respect he accords his wife and children, the woman is the breadwinner, the man works too but the wife makes more than him, but you can never know, the woman adores her husband, loves her husband and does double shift for her husband to be able to build his house back home, i am so serious, if you see the mansion that was built for the husband back home, many people call her a fool even her family memebers, but she was willing to do that for her hubby because she felt her husband deserved it.

You don't expect to treat a woman like shit and expect her to revere you or hold you in high-esteem in return, respect begats respect.
Re: Is Marriage Worth It For Guys? by armyofone(m): 5:36pm On Feb 10, 2012
Ofc most of the women are grateful. I think when the men start behaving like bush men, beating, refusing to join in housework etc then there is trouble.

the stress of working 40hrs plus is not funny.

Don't be deceived Moremi, that is usually not the case oooooo, some Naija men are mean and evil, if you see misbehaviours, you would be so surprised, i really think it has to do with upbringing, because i really do not know how men will grow-up to be monsters and expect another fellow human being to respect and love you back in return.

Some women lack the proper upbringing too and lack manners, but majority of the men are just nothing to write home about.

and you are sounding mad ridiculous right now. How naive are you about "village girls", like are you being serious or is this tongue in cheek? No one can possibly be this clueless. when these insecure sniffling twits cant control a woman they resort to calling them things like "damaged goods", what does that even mean?   If this is about sex which apparently scares you people, you think sex isnt happening in villages?

Sagalulu!!! that article is so true!!!!! Naija men, when u are in America behave like the americans, or else you will be dumped by your wife. behave yourselves and stop chasing everything in skirts or abusing your wives, infact upgrade yourselves too not only your wives( educationally).

But they are responsible na? According to our "Analytical".  grin

You can choose to behave like Americans or choose to control your marital settings (it can be off or, if on, with good controls). That said, the men described in the article are not in my class. They are more like moremi.

Er, I think men have more options.

Secondly even though you are right about some men being selfish, I think woman are generally more selfish. Majority are way too selfish and some are adopting this stewpid Western philosophy that everything should be about women and a "real" man will fall in line.

Count me out of that brigade!

you are just citing a case of an ideal woman here. . . . .if every woman has her attitude the world would be a better place.
more often than not,  the bad eggs clearly outnumber the good ones.

respect begets respect - i agree with that.
i will not watch a palm-kernel cracking woman lord herself over me because she's now a registered nurse - something she could not have achieved without me.
that said, i would not enslave her too - she's the woman in the house and her role in the home would not be altered just because she's been upgraded.

damaged goods are the breed of women who have lost touch with their roots and their african heritage. they want to be whiter than the white folks themselves.
nigerian women abroad can be nauseating with their attitude.

sex is happening in the village but not in the same obscene frequency it happens abroad. . . .but who wants to make a wh[i]o[/i]re a housewife?

this same excuse has been overused - women complaining about long hours at work. . . .
there are women in nigeria who work long hours too - they still come home and perform their duties as the wife. they don't make excuses!

why are the same nigerian women different abroad? a nigerian man is a nigerian man in naija or in any part of the world.
a nigerian woman is normal in nigeria but the moment she steps abroad, she wants to be like kim kardashian.

@ Coogar, you missed the point in my post. Fact is a what you are accusing women of is basically human nature. How is your analogy different from a woman that sacrificed her career for hubby's being replaced with a younger opeke any different.

@ Sagamu, i never said men didn't have options, the factt that they too many options is to their detriment, my point is that women are now aware that they have options.

My dear Ronkis, you can't eat your cake and have it too. You can't expect a man to kill himself outside the home to provide for the family and then return home to help with the housework and babies. If both spouses are working, then they should seriously consider hiring help. I am a single guy and I have a cleaning lady come in every week. Married couples should also do the same (they aren't that expensive in the US). I have married Nigerian friends that employ full-time nannies for about $1k-$2k per month. It saves them a LOT of hassle and their marriages are better for it.

Ok Coogar, i am back, say what?? what were you saying?? comparing nigerian women work and the people in diaspora, you still cannot compare oooo, Nigerians get a lot of cheap helps and even help from family members, imagine how a woman who has just put to bed in Nigeria is being cared for, peppersoup for one side, another person caring for the baby on the other side, another woman bathing for the mother on another end, the woman's own is to sleep and feed the baby whenever she can gan sef ni.

But in America, infact i started bathing my baby the second day after i left the hodpital, thank God for small change, wink wink wink we were able to get a cleaning lady, who wants to be spending and wasting money ontop cleaning lady,( by the time you add how much you are payiong her every two weeks, one will rethink it) i had a baby sitter when i resumed back at work, my mum was not happy at all because of the stress here when she came to visit, it looked like the country has been set up that way to stress people out, even my dad gan sef, was like i was stressing my self too much,  Despite say i still get hubby that helped, imgine not getting a helping hand atall and then you have a hubby that bosses you around at every little thing, common now, we are all human beings abegiii
