So Nigeria People see the White Culture only from the distance ? How come? If I walk the streets of London, Dublin or Austin Texas, Nigerian on mass, they have been there, since 30, 40 or even 50 years. They work along side white people, their children go to the same school and universities, some of them are even are married to white folks or have Obama like grand children. They are not back in the village back in Nigeria and do not have access to the main road. C’mon Nigeria, not all your people are Oga’s with a Harem or Dogs. Even, if you think about it, believe Now are days Nigerian might be just mix’ed. When reading about this beautiful culture you guys had a good social system of doing things and managing them, well. When it all did went wrong? |

Fact is that majority of white women dont put this Feminist idealogy on their head like Blacks do. I think White women are some of the most traditional sef |

luckgames: A ridiculous mentality. The reason why some women would rather be co-wives than be single. Your "respect" may as well increase with the number of children a married woman has. |
Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by WhiteOne(f): 4:24pm On Apr 16, 2012 |
It is not a White Woman, or a Black Woman, it is not a Christian Woman or a Moslem Woman, which respects her partner, husband or the dad of her children – IT IS A WISE WOMAN, WHICH LOVES HER CHILDREN. The same thing goes for men, if you love the mother of your children, you respect her and show her affection, tried her right and take care of her needs. A relationship is hard work! Our parents did know, this and they worked on it. We trend to though him/her away, like everything else in this consumer society. What will we though away next our children? Oh, AND I a feminist by the way. I love my job, I love to make my own money and I love my education. I love my right to vote. I love my freedem of choice. AND I would like to see more woman in leading roles around the world. |

WhiteOne: So Nigeria People see the White Culture only from the distance ? The end result and ambition of every woman is geared into getting marrried and remaining married until they die putting aside their own needs, passion and self, even if it means dying at the hands of one's husband, AND YOU CALL THIS A BEAUTIFUL CULTURE. A society whereby a man can beat his wife with reckless inpunity even till the point of death and the Police would not intervene and her folks would plead with her to stay put and manage to avoid bringing shame on the family, AND YOU CALL THIS A BEAUTIFUL CULTURE? A society that looks down on single women, divorcees, bastards, women who don't give birth to boys etc, AND YOU CALL THIS BEAUTIFUL huh? I could go on and on and on, bbut will rest my case. . .and say whatever floats your boat Missy. |
Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by Nobody: 5:12pm On Apr 16, 2012 |
stagger: I do not think the issue here is equality. The relationship between a husband and a wife should be complementary; not based on equality or superiority. And that is why you'll never be divorced IJN! |

olamide123: Amen to that prayer. May God Almighty forgive the poster for her wickedness to her own children. In this day and age, we can already imagine the domineeringly egoistic, chauvinistic pigs her male children will turn into and the the psychologically traumatised sans identity doormat her female kids will become. Get ready society, a new set of inbred robots are released into the world! May God never allow anybody's child to become a victim by going into that family in the name of marriage! Amen with all my heart. |

Theblessed:You dont need to start a war or a movement to point this out, even the uneducated men of the 19th century are ware of these things! It is when you turn it to a gender-war that you loose focus! Dont fight for what you already have, it is called foolishness! Theblessed: Now let me open your eyes a little bit about this ideology - Feminism did not start today, ok! It started long ago in Ancient Isreal. Now, l am very happy for you on one thing, you agreed that "God is fair, righteous and good"! That being the case, could you ask yourself: Why did God PUT A CONDITION TO THIS INHERITANCE? If he did not put a condition to the inheritance of the families with male children, why this one? Did l hear you say God is no longer fair, just and righteous? ![]() ![]() ![]() Truth is that "that is how it is and that is how God intends it to be: The Husband is the HEAD/LEADER of his family, and that includes his wife! If God, in his "fairness, justness and righteousness", did not treat them as equal but rather put "a condition" to their supposed equality, how come you feminist think you are wiser, more righteous or fairer than God? Why did the Bible even refer to women as "weaker vessels", to be treated with "gloves"? Does that not indicate that though not equal, women are "unique and special"? As about respecting the rights of women to work or earn income? That is a forgone conclusion, l bet even you work for a living? Accepting and respecting the "contributions of women to society"? Contributions of men or women to society is there for all to see and whether others respect it or appreciate it is a function of how relevant and effective such contributions are! NO NEED TO FORCE IT! A lot of women are inventors, pioneers and pace-setters in many fields (Pick up any historical book on invention and you will see their names alongside the Albert Einsteins of this world) so what else does "feminism" hope to achieve if not chaos and family breakdown due to its confrontational attitude? I still repeat, you dont need to fight for what is inherently yours except you have an inferiority complex! Women who have achieved a lot or anything meaningful in this world "dont fight" for recognition, it goes along with it. Take Oprah Winfrey for example, does she have any reason to fight for equality with any man? She is already accomplished and well respected for her achievements, it is the empty barrel women that scream and fight for recognition because they have nothing to show for it, except ofcourse, their lousy mouth and aggressive attitude! And that wont take them anywhere except misery-land! Lastpage! BTW: I think you love attention but your post still makes sense and would get you the required attention, without those "screaming and indecent font-size" or is it just in your nature to scream? |

lastpage: [size=16pt][b]Obviously, you lack knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures. Also, you're uncomfortable with the truths hence, the above! I suggest you read and re-read your Bible properly, ok! You see, God had already decreed the conditions guiding land inheritance to the twelve Tribes of Isreal prior to Zelophehad's daughters outcry to Moses and the subsequent Test case, ok! He decreed that, each Tribe 'MUST HOLD ONTO' land allocated to them - it must not swop, it must not exchange and certainly, must not sale (paraphrased), gorit? So, what God did was to provide for the girls (until they get married) - where non was given/provided for them in the first place. If they marry within their own Tribe, land would still remain in the Tribe however, if they married into other Tribes they must not take the land along, with them. So, what's wrong with that? From your attitude here, I could see your kind would have kicked them/their mother out of their father's inheritance and took it all for yourself as the case in some part of Africa/Nigeria. People who do this kind of wickedness think they'd escaped God's wrath but I have news for them - 'where can you hide from his presence?'. Remember Jonah, he thought, he'd ran away from God but did he? ![]() Secondly, as for 'your loving attention and screaming' too bad! And what can you do about it? If you can't beat them join them - that's what I say, ok! Is it because, I refered women to the authority supporting their fight for equality and their rights, is it why I became and attention seeker to you? It's all well! You know what? It's called knowledge, and knowledge they say, is 'POWER' - not attention seeking, ok! So, don't mess with a smart lady that knows her game! The way I write is my style and not yours - and there's nothing you can do about it therefore, it calls for tolerance or quit out of here!!![/b][/size] |

Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by Kayyy: 12:08am On Apr 17, 2012 |
l made a contribution about this equality issue on the post on the lady seriously considering divorce, like i put it i agree no female should be raised to believe and accept she is inferior to a man, i also accepted feminism came out cos of the demeaning attitude of the society to womanhood especially about 50-60 decades ago, However i would still maintain that a very 'True gender equality(what feminism is preaching and strives for) would be NO to Women and children first in life and death scenarios, mandatory drafting of women in equal statistics to men for military purpose, if this is achieved and a woman can stand in the position to lay her life for her husband/man and children in life and death issues like natural disasters, terrorism, high magnitude accidents like titanic, then welcome to the world of equality. |
Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by Nobody: 12:19am On Apr 17, 2012 |
Man and woman are equal to me. Just that many women refused to accept that. |
Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by Kayyy: 12:45am On Apr 17, 2012 |
Another way to look at this issue is this a man 30 dates/marries 23 yrs girl- ok, 25yrs girl-0k,infact a survey of most women here would tell you the diffrence in age between their boyfriend/spouses,most are younger to them, if we are to call out the women dating younger guys on this forum or no of women we know that do it , they would be few compared to those dating guys older than them, if this whole equality thing is o true to u guys why dont we have 50/50 stats of girls dating younger guys and i mean much more younger guys like 6-10 yrs younger. the cases of the young guys that married white grannies which was posted here on nairaland springs to mind and the views of all the females on that thread is enough to throw all this equality being preached here in the bin, i guess if it was turned around eyes would would not be raised much afterall it is at least common in the society to see. personally from my view while i still believe feminism has played some major role in shaping our modern society today , the continous pursue of this course as far as i am concerned is mostly selective and for conveinience. |

Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by Reference(m): 7:57am On Apr 17, 2012 |
jennykadry: LMAO, So in other words, women should be raised inferior No, no, no. Inequality and inferiority are not one and the same, except you want to create that impression. Even amongst the female siblings, except if they are twins, they are unequal, but is one inferior to the other, no. The mere fact that the gretater percentile of men marry women younger than they are establish such unions on the basis of inequality because the man probably (very subjective) has more experience in fundamentals. It certainly does not suggest superiority or inferiority between bot partners. |
Re: A Man And A Woman Can Never Be Equal by Reference(m): 8:14am On Apr 17, 2012 |
ogugua88: No, they're not equal, as in, they're not the same. One does need the other and vice versa, however. Keys and locks are not equal, but the key has no purpose if there is no lock. A lock will remain closed and without purpose if there is no key. Tada. Thank you ma dear, award for best picture. |

See the rate at which this thread is growing . . .One can hardly keep up on updates. You people sef. ![]() Meristem: You're the 1/2 Ibs brained psychopath without even a blip of common sense. In fact, you were referring to your very own alter ego, In whose right brain, there's nothing left, and left brain, nothing is right when you typed that nonsense. Before I decide to have a civil conversation, go figure out what figure of speech is. The husband is the head - metaphor Wife is the neck - metaphor. What does the neck do to the head? Support it. What does the Bible say the wife ought to do? Yes, superior cretin, that's it. You may also need some lecture on semantics before we have that conversation; apostle Paul's metaphoric use of the word head to illustrate that the man is the LEADER of the home (his home) DOES NOT mean he is SUPERIOR to the woman or a woman. The same Paul said - '' There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus''. See what the same apostle Paul that metaphorically likened the husband to the head has to say in 1 corin 12 vs 12 - 26. The next time you address me in such a rude manner, without first being addressed, I'll have your balls boiled and fed to hens. You insolent whelp! ![]() 1 Like |

Have you heard the words assimilation and association French assimilation and association far back 1800-1900 in Africa? There are lot of Nigerian all over the developed Countries Some time you have to ask yourself? This Dude or lady have lived here for over 30yrs The state of being assimilated; people of different backgrounds come to see themselves as part of a larger national family. as•so•ci•a•tion Noun: 1. A group of people organized for a joint purpose: "the National Association of Broadcasters". 2. A plant community defined by a characteristic group of dominant plant species. Are you aware of the London Riots? There is not much assimilation and association going on. And even some of the 2 nd or 3 rd generation is classified with an immigration background. There might be a lot of disappointment going on with those people. That brings me back to Mr. Obama in the White House. Sorry, what I have seen is shocking, broken family with no men in the home, parents working 24/7 to make a living, divorce, ect. Sometimes, I feel like cry out, where is your shame, where is your partner, men and woman alike, what are you doing to your children, “why” oh “why” you take the bad habits, the arrogance of us and make it your own, if we hardly do it. People are running to church praying for a good wife or a good husband, praying, crying, shutting and even screeming to god, and, then you hear, oh, I had somebody and I send him or her packing, because of he/she was not for my likeness or he/she make a mistake. |
