Family / Re: Are Women In Nigeria Supposed To Expect And Accept Cheating Husbands? by misslady(f): 10:54pm On Apr 09, 2006
chinani:

No, not all men, Nigerian or not, cheat. Men who do not cheat are better men than those who do cheat. They are more content, more moral, more honest, and the list goes on. People, men & women, should look to fulfill themselves. Many men claim to cheat b/c the wife is not measuring up but the answer is to find contentment in yourself & then compliment, not complete, someone else. Any man who expects his wife to read his mind & then fulfill his fantasies is a boy.

Someone asked why women stay. In terms of Nigerian women it is the fear of divorce and separation. More specifically, the fear of being labeled and shunned b/c of it. Nigerian women do not have the support network to withstand certain troubling phases in life. For instance, if a child dies, family comes to mourn & support. If a marriage dies, family comes to hiss & cajole you. I have an aunt who parted w/ her husband after nearly 20 years b/c of continuous problems. Her decision makes sense but no one (family) will admit it to each other etc.

Anyhow, men & women have to have the the strength to be honest. If your marriage isn't working, then skate. It's simple. And more honest than cheating. You'll be a better man (or woman) for it. wink


Great post, homegirl!!!!!
Family / Re: Whats Your Ideal Marriage Ceremony Or Wedding Day? by misslady(f): 3:28pm On Apr 09, 2006
i want an intimate affair. I want a candlelit ceremony @ midnight.

why @ midnight??
because after the ceremony, you go to sleep, wake up, and it is still your wedding day!
Family / Are Women In Nigeria Supposed To Expect And Accept Cheating Husbands? by misslady(f): 2:44pm On Apr 09, 2006
When I was in Naija last, there was a constant statement said to me: "All men cheat".
My cousins told me,
My friends told me,
The mother of the guy who wanted to be in a relationship with me,
The son of the mother mentioned above,

So as a woman married to a man in Nigeria, is she to accept and expect her husband to cheat?
If so, how does she deal with it?

Is the answer the same for a Nigerian man not living in Naija?

If that was his child, how would you feel about splitting up the family?
Dating And Meet-up Zone / Re: Hausas, Where Are You? I'm Single And Ready To Mingle by misslady(f): 5:09am On Apr 02, 2006
What a coincidence, my boyfriend and i were just talking about not seeing Hausas in the US. I have only met one, but she and her family are Christians, and her family lived mostly in Texas; she had one sibling in Minnesota.
TV/Movies / Re: South African Movie Industry Vs Nollywood by misslady(f): 7:45pm On Apr 01, 2006
Zahymaka:

Please add Mr Bones -- that one scooped awards.


Mr. Bones was the WORST movie ever! When I went to Naija last year, my litte cousins kept going ON and ON about the movie, and I could not last 20 minutes watching that movie.

Did it REALLY win awards or is that an April Fool Joke?

Also, was the main actor an American? I did not notice a SA accent?
Culture / Re: Igbo And Yoruba Marriages? by misslady(f): 2:20pm On Mar 10, 2006
Your story reminds me of my situation, although we are not as progressed in the relationship as you and your girl.

i was born in the US, my mom is not Nigerian, and when I told my father I was dating a Yoruba man, he exclaimed "Lord Have Mercy!!!". My family is still trying to fix me up with Ibo men although they know i am in a relationship.

I asked my dad why he said that, he told me that the two tribes don't see eye to eye, they don't take of their wives as well as Ibo men, and they marry a lot of women. My aunt told me it was better to be with an Ibo man, because,  well i don't want to say why,  but she took it back to the Biafra War,  so some of you may have an idea of what she said,

if it is meant to be with you and your girl,  it will happen,  if not,  then you will understand why.
Nairaland / General / Re: Abortion To Be Legalized by misslady(f): 2:04pm On Mar 10, 2006
abortion should be legal, women have abortions anyway, so why not make it legal so it can be done under safe practices?
i am personally not for abortions, but i am not going to impose my views on some woman i do not know
Travel / Re: Dual Citizenship by misslady(f): 1:58pm On Mar 10, 2006
i was not born in nigeria, i only have one nigerian parent, and it was my first time there, so it may have been different for me,
i don't want to give too much detail, but i had to go to the state office/ house of where my family is from, get forms there, then i went to some other office got some foms there, then went to the passpost office, spoke to some people there, then left got something to eat, then came back the same day, took the picture and left with the passport, an uncle of mine took me around
Travel / Re: Dual Citizenship by misslady(f): 4:20am On Mar 10, 2006
sorry, i did not fully answer the question, and i do not know how to edit b/c i am new here.
when travelling to nigeria i use my american passport. once i enter nigeria, i give them both passports. In Lagos, I go thru the non citizen line. when returning i use my american passport so i don't have to worry about visas.

how did i get the passport well i got it the nigerian way,
