Wetin concern us with macho or weakly 🤷
We can only do what we can

Just an exclamation in this term to avoid too many explaining as to the category of the man in quote and the position of the woman.

How is a husband a womans dad?? where did u get that analogy from?

also people have different kinds of dad's. some don't even speak to their dads.


In case you don't know or better still you might know and don't want to agree your husband is your dad, the moment you pay a woman pride price your a joint owner of the lordship of the woman.

If woman don't sees husband has her Lord that is where their will be bigger problem

Check the scriptural every woman sees her husband has her lord, the respect they give to their dad is the same respect their husband received

A real man shouldn't be intimidated/afraid of successful women.

These days we have more lazy ass men without ambition in life that only want to feed off their women. They think having a third leg makes them a man.

We also have men that love their women so much that they want to limit the potential of their women because they are not man enough to maintain being her man when she becomes successful.

Let every man know their responsibility in life before looking for a woman that fits into is life. No Lies!



where are those successful women? i want to date one.

Its hard to see a successful woman...

you talk like a boy

asking questions to your father is totally different from asking someone u sleep with, have kids with, tend to get old with

Most african cultures we are programmed by both society and culture not ask right to our parents, eg questiions that tend to expose that your parent has no knowledge or lacks critical thinking

Your forbidden from embrassing them

Whereas with hubby you are meant to be asking but it comes back to that culture of not embrassing its carried over to hubby, where other hubbys dont allow women to say their own thinking, which might embrass hubby but in true fact he should embrace that wife has sharp mind too




Yes! I'm a boy with a kid,I know you are still a novice sha in marriage.

Because a man sleeps with you makes you think you are equal?

Abraham sleeps with Sarah and Sarah still regards him has her Lord,check in the Bible the same respect woman gives to their dad is the same respect they gave to their husband

You advise your dad,didn't you? How did you pass the information? You correct him ,didn't you? How did you correct him?

This are small thing that leads to divorce,the same way you relate with your dad with love and respect is the same way you relate with your husband

In my language they even call husband 'Olowo ori mi' meaning the man that pays the price they put on my head.this is what makes a manyo be man

but do realise also that some men rush to call a woman arrogant simple becoz she refuse to lower her standards

eg a keke driver, might see a bank teller being an arrogant woman, she knows her selfworth as bank teller and she wouldnt want a keke driver

This also depends on how she communicates her rejection of the keke driver.

Is she polite and nice when rejecting him or does she emphasizes on his lower status when doing so.

Most Nigerian women are in the latter group

“Men are afraid of successful women”

I wonder why men allowed this lie to go unchallenged for so long.

That is, they deceived so many women to believe that a man will see a woman making ground breaking achievements in her industry and be afraid of her success, instead he will go and chase one broke, unemployed and uninspiring woman.

Which successful woman in this world is single because men are afraid of her?

Watch women claim now that they know someone, not them oh. Someone.

I can tell you for free that a woman will buy Toyota Big for nothing and starts talking down on men that don’t have cars, becomes unnecessary rude to everyone around her and when people avoid her, she’ll say it’s because she’s successful.

No one is avoiding you because you are successful, they are avoiding you because of your bad attitude. There are women that are more successful than you that are happily married.

Why your own dey different?

Men are not afraid of successful women. Men are afraid of women with bad attitude, successful or not.

Fact! Fatos! As a man I can't marry a liabilty nor a lazy person. It will even be a thing of pride that my woman has accomplished so much in her career. It's not the career that is intimidating, it's the bad manners

Not completely True!

My prayer each day is that, God the more you lift me higher in life, help me to remind humble, respectful, and not loose myself in the process.

I am a woman, and I can beat my chest and say what OP said is the truth. Most women loose it once they are very successful. The ones that are successful,and yet humble are not up to 2%. Most of them, even belittle their fellow women who are not yet as successful as them in the process.

We should call a spade a spade and not turn a blind eye, or sugar coat things that are not right.

U guys can’t always calm down to listen to points, u always think you’re right then when the consequences come u play victims

Which one is product of environment, why do y’all always look for excuses, why not take accountability that u have a shitty attitude and work on it

Lol u just proving my point with ur comment, it’s obvious u will practice hypergamy the way ure talking, lol out of my league, don’t worry once u become hyper successful u can go for more powerful men, that’s what most women do, then when you see the consequences later, don’t come to cry victim

Rokiat:
This is a great topic with many layers to it.


The problem is that many women lead with their achievements. They achieved and believe oh well
I’m a high achiever I don’t gotta clean for no man I don’t gotta cook for no man infact I don’t need a man. That’s the issue right there.

I have said it before and I will say it here again, men don’t give a damn about a woman’s achievements. Maybe your home girls will clap for you but this is not all a man is looking for. An uneducated woman who’s broke and never been to college don’t work but can cook, have good nurturing skills, a good mother, fine as hell, good in bed, will always get the better man than a woman who’s hella accomplished and is totally out of touch with her womanly side and roles.

Fun fact as you are off to work, he’s fu..cking that unemployed woman that truly makes him feel like a man.



Also many of these women achieved and start shouting it at the top of their lungs, a big turn off to many men. A man’s would love you to leave space for him to come in and be a man, provide for you, get you that car that house for the family etc but if you buy yourself all
Of these things and claiming to be an independent strong woman that has everything and the only thing you need is a man well my sister you will stay long waiting for that man.

The truth is bitter, but a successful man is treated like a big baller in society but you as a successful woman well sorry but many men don’t care. And the issue is that many successfully women wants the accolades, the praises, special treatment and to be exempt from their womanly duties simply because they are successful in society. It’s just as bad as men wanting special treatment and better positions because they look good. Lol that’s funny but imagine a man thinking because he looks good so he will get a higher position…rarely ever as in ever. A woman looks yes that matters but a man? Nope not really because that doesn’t impact on his ability to provide or protect. Women have to stop thinking just because they are successful and high achievers they don’t gotta do what a man’s requires of a woman to
Make him feel like a man.


And this is for the women that wants lasting and happy relationships. If you want to be a strong independent woman that don’t need no man kudos to you, do you but you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

So this is a global trend not only particular to Nigeria. Its a complaint also in the west. Boss Ladies at least they are called. Its not that men are afraid of them, its more or less a new trend in some sense. Up till now men have rule the turf with money, power and statues and women subordinates socially. But with liberation of women comes change. Education and exposure has led to power shift. More and more women are gaining in this regards.

Note we are not talking money with powerful women, rather a strong mental awareness as in sensing their world all round. Economically, socially, politically culturally.

Men who have been use to occupy the high ground in this spheres now have to contend for it. Its strange for them in many ways. Usually in relationship men occupy this high ground and women feeling a sense of meaning by affiliation. But mind offensiveness for women means They are attaining meaning all by themselves..with this comes less need for the former affiliation. Its like a hunting lioness pack. yes they can hunt too just like the male.

The followup to this in this extremely, is that the female and male will meet up only for sex, as its is commonly practice in the wild. If both can gain food Independently, there will be less need for socialization or bonding. They will concern themselves only with that which they are attain independently.."procreation".

Correct. I like your animal jungle analogy. Honestly, that's the truth. Humans aren't different from animals. Animals especially those in the jungle only meet for reproduction purposes. After that, all man to him/herself. The same is playing out these days due to democratisation of economic and education opportunities. Because to a woman wey dey earn good money, why does she need a man when her money can do what she wants? To a man, why does he need a woman if she will give him wahala because she has money to cater for herself?

Your last comment tho should have been: "They will concern themselves only with that which they CAN'T attain independently - "procreation"

I had this experience, the truth is women think they have the world when they get slight achievement. I dated a "mistake", assisted her and did my best to support her to travel to the USA, the day she got the visa was d day she started telling me Abt breaking up. I don't even want to talk about how much I spent and d risk I took during this period, travelling along dangerous roads. Women let little achievements get into their head but men don't see this things as anything. No matter what you are or your achievement, just give a man peace. Men are not scared of what you have achieved, they just know submission from the woman will become a problem.

It depends on what you mean by submission, especially for those who are married to a man who cant provide for his family

She pays the house rent, school fees, hospital bills, other bills and probably feeding

These are the things a man that married her can't do and she is doing it all,

So is she not submissive enough

Or you expect her to work for the money and hand it over to the man

That's what you call submission abi ⁉️




Only a foolish man will allow his wife take all that responsibility while he sit down and watch. If the man is having temporal business challenges is understandable , but on a normal circumstance is a big no no for me. In fact the man is supposed to be respecting the woman for doing all that for him.
