Oh boy, and this guy na Pastor oh
By saying most men, that is around 90% of Nigerians. Which kain propaganda be this one?
This Pastor is from the east, I am sure he must be from Anambra state. Na dem dey beat their wives!

Iyke1998:

Kobojunkie:
In a country where women and children are pretty much considered property and a woman is meant to lose her identity the moment she is married or in a relationship— those of them who do not conform are shamed— do you think that number is too high?

Kelechi009:
1. You are stupid person for asking me this question. Lets assume Nigeria is 250Million. Split that into 3, men, women and children, thats 83 Million. So you mean around 83 Million men or less are beating the other 83 Million who are women?

2. You people usually don't use your sense. This is why Tinubu deserves to rule this country because most of you are daft. The Anambra men beating their wives should sort themselves out and don't attempt to rope all of us in.

Kobojunkie:
1. This makes no sense at all for a numbers break down.

2. Yet more rambling!

Kelechi009:
Please don't quote me again idiot. You didn't do arithmetic in school hence don't know what 90% even percent means. Throwing figures around like Trump.

That number is not just too high, it is unfounded.


On the issue of wives being considered as property, it is mostly women's fault.
If you and I are going into a business partnership and I solely fund and provide almost every other thing needed to get things up ad running then how exactly are we equal owners?

I recently read about a man who left the marriage venue and called of the marriage because he got tired of being unnecessarily billed by the girl's family.

A man asks for a woman's hand in marriage, he gets a billing list and the woman keeps quiet and allows him handle the bills.

When her family is satisfied, they hand her over to him and she changes her surname at the spot. change of ownership.
You can call this marriage because it is sweeter to hear but that is pure business arrangement.

What exactly is pride price? Why do we still pay it in this age and time?

We all know to give women a little more rights in their marriages but feminists and equal rights activists are not ready for the conversation because the whole setting benefits the woman's family.

One said that no amount of money paid is enough for what was used to train the girl and I asked, did the man's parents find him on the road already grown and employed?

Some argue that this shouldn't be an issue where there is love and i agree but people will always exploit situations.

Fiscus105:
Beating wife should be condemned,the same way put ur husband in emotional truma must be highly condemned

Kobojunkie:
1. Majority abuse cases go unreported and many, like this pastor here, believe it the man's place to abuse a woman, so.?

Kobojunkie:

2. Osinachi was the breadwinner in her home yet she was treated by her husband, and lived as if property. So?

Kobojunkie:

3. Not all women out there come with a billing list, so if a man chooses to go with a woman who does, one he would likely have to support, are you suggesting that may also mean he is in his right to see her as property? Marriage in and of itself is a business agreement no matter how you look it, so whether the couple live as equal partners or form a master-slave type union, marriage is business. However, does the arrangement agreed upon really allow, legally, the one to consider the other no better than property?

Kobojunkie:

4. Give a woman a little more rights in marriage? I don't follow at all. What has equal rights to do with bride price?

Kobojunkie:

Love is defined by the marriage agreement so why attempt to use bride pride, a cultural idea, to define the relationship in marriage?

Tallesty1:
1. What is so? If 90% of women are being abused and just 10% are not being abused then we have completely agreed that no man is being abused in his marriage.Like I said, the stat is unfounded

2. That a person came first in examination doesn't mean he or she is the only person that did well. I never said that the way the marriage system is structured in Nigeria is the sole reason for abuse.

3. If we both agree that marriage is business then this discussion is no longer necessary. The person with a bigger share in business is usually the boss, and in the marriage business, the start up cost is most times 100% a man's burden to bear.

4. Explain bride price to me the way you explain football to some women and you may just answer your own question. I am not redefining marriage, I am telling you where some people get the justification for how they treat their women.
