Missy89: maybe you should re-read my post, i simply asked which institution where the rights of women limited ? and that's its possible am living in a bubble. As far as i know, most women are exposed to the same rights unless in some certain areas such as politics and marital rape. and you said its the social norms and i asked what "Social norms" and the word social norms is quite vague. 2 Likes |

Observation: Nigerian women in the past used to be supportive to their husbands...they farm...they engage in petty trading businesses to help feed their children even though their income or contribution might not be too big and visible. The table just got turned during our era after we started copying Oyimbo the wrong way...and Nollywood further worsened the whole issue. How Nollywood Spoilt Nigerian Women!!! e.g. Movie Titled: "Pretty World", staring- Emeka Ike and Genevieve Nnaji as his wife, Jim Iyke and Omotola Jalade as his wife....Desmond Elliot and Rita Domnic as his wife. Now what happens? Movie Scenes That Spoilt our Girls: In the movie, Emeka is seen living in a big mansion and drives big cars...he drives to work daily and comes back to blow horn and gateman opens gate and his wife, Genevieve opens door and hugs him- "welcome darling, dinning is set"...they live like kings. Same way, Jim Iyke lives in another big duplex and works in a big oil firm in the movie and his wife, Omotola sits at home and welcomes him with open arms and good food at the dinning...same with Desmond Elliot and his wife, Rita... Gradually, our Nigerian women who love these movies and sit at home all day and in their rooms at various school hostels watching these movies gradually form the belief that Emeka Ike, Jim Iyke, and Desmond Elliot's marriages are the ideal marriage and so, they too wants to marry only guys living in big houses and driving big cars.....with gateman and house helps like they do watch in Nollywood movies....this now becomes the dream of every Nigerian girl- to marry a rich guy working in oil firm, living in a duplex and driving exotic cars. That was the origin of our problem as a nation- NOLLYWOOD!!! ....and for those saying Nigerian men feel insecure with ladies earning bigger than them....sure you ladies are somehow right...all men (Nigerian or not) always want to be the king and on top, any man that says otherwise is a liar, a lazy as$ and a pretender trying to deceive women into believing that he is a wonderful man without a fault! But I can assure you ladies that most guys don't send how much you have or what you do for a living when they are comfortable and ready to settle down! But I would advice any single lady reading this to please try and get something doing- you mustn't be earning millions or even thousands, just make sure you aren't a liability to any man who isn't your father- be it boyfriend or husband (though husband own is allowed o ![]() Once again, nice topic and contributions so far ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

Gorgeous58: @OP: There is no one size fits all and I am learning to be more open minded. In some homes, the mqn loves, craves and yearns to be the sole provider. His dignity and respect is tied to that and cannot be compromised. The lesser the wife earns, the more his control over the family/wife In some, the wife ties her respect for her hubby to money which will fly out of the window once she outearns him or he loses his source of income. The fact is that not all men like financially empowered wives and not all women will contribute their quota to the finance of the home even if they outearn him. We have also read/heard stories of men who force their wives to resign or women who find it difficult to juggle home & work. Also, a lot of women earn money or are trying to. Earning power is already done: it is for women to change from my money is my money &his money is our money to our money is our money and for men to stop tying earning power to leadership. It is well 4 Likes |

pcguru1:Thanks bro...we may not know or agree it here, but I have taken time to research on some of the societal anomalies we are witnessing in Nigeria today; especially those concerning marriage and romance, and I can boldly tell you that Nollywood films caused our predicaments today! Many girls replicate the lifestyles they watch in movies...knowingly or unknowingly to the detriment of their own future! Watch this: any girl or lady that sits down all the time watching Nollywood, Bollywood and Hollywood movies always have a very repelling personality and attitude!

Re: Women; Becoming Assets Rather Than Liabilities by Gerrard59(m): 9:44pm On Oct 28, 2014 |
^^^ Once again your hypocrisy shows in broad daylight. The same men who today are praising and shouting yes, yes, will tomorrow refuse to adhere to the simple fact that women should be given their equal rights and opportunities. "We want Assets and not liabilities" And when the woman ask for her equal opportunities and rights, we will hear "Men have the sole responsibility to provide and a man is the head of the family". Is this not the same Nairaland that we read of how a man wants the wife to resign her job and career , because he wants her to take care of the children. As if taking care of kids is solely a responsibility of a woman. Most Nigerian men are synonymous with hypocrisy. 9 Likes 8 Shares |

@ op nice one. U knw someone once said 'a lady that cannot help out with little things in the home as trivial as paying the eletric bills, dstv bills etc is just like the furniture in the sitting room' u knw when I heard dis, I couldn't agree less. But for what its worth, I wouldn't fail to recognise the fact that most of d lady folks're beginning to contribute meaningfully with finances @ home. In adherence to d rule of bc, ie constructive criticism, for all u ladies dat are challenged and feel u really want to do sth d@ would enable u contribute financially in d home and u dunno wot exactly, feel free to whatsapp me on 07031607416 btw today and monday next week.
