I can list a million men who became successful without the help of a woman. Lets start from Alan Tunning- Father of computer. The infinite list has no end.

His name was Turing. Not Tunning.
And he was gay, dumbáss.

Strive to be the kind of woman who, when your man hits rock bottom, when his business fails or he is retrenched from his job, can carry the family through. You must be able to provide what he otherwise would. This thing of women who sit doing nothing, and when a man goes through a difficult period, cannot come through for him, or at least even help him make a plan, is not on.

Let us start hustling with our men. We must stop being liabilities when we have what it takes to be assets.

Ladies, what's your take on this?

very impressive.

Nelsizzy:
nah, m different

My nigga howfar... Are you one of My nairaland fan ??

UjSizzle:

I'm saying this definition of an 'asset' doesn't make sense.
Yeah women should work blah blah, but if this is the deal breaker for men, then I'm really sorry for all of you in advance.

My dear, most guys commenting are talking about their gf. I actually like the idea of housewives, if the couple can plan for future. My 2 cents is that, let's say the housewife dies, that is when a lot of people will know her worth.
You are justified by having pity on men that want working wife, if only they knew what a lot of men are passing through in the western world, if only they knew.

Misogynist2014:
Gender equality my foot! Though I acknowlege the fact that women are very greedy and selfish creatures, no court as far as Nigeria is concerned divides property into two, the worst you can get is alimony. When I tell my friends that I want a lady that can pay my bills, both male and female mock me. But its shocking that women looked very threatened by my disposition, 20 times more than men.
Afterall, it actually seems that women are more threatened by the prospect of gender equality. We men will actually loose nothing more than pride, but these lazy women like enlightenedsoul, who worship chalvary, are gonna loose a lot. Maybe you actually don't know how relieving it is that as a woman, when you fail in your career, you can fall back on a man, who is willing to pick you up.

Lolll @ bold

You're quite hilarious, I gotta say. Chivalry doesn't come by request, and it's hardly a "worship" trait. If my man, or any other man/woman opens a door for me, I would certainly thank them for their consideration, but it's not like I'm loitering around expecting/waiting for doors to opened for me and getting offended when/if they're not etc.

Stop throwing my name around every which where, !

u will marry a good husband amen....

I agree with most part of the opening statement but sometimes, an average man may not want you to help him make plans. It is not that women are a liability if they do not make plans or come through for men during difficult periods, it is just that men might want to go through it by themselves in their own way. Not being able to provide for your man in his time of difficulty does not make you a liability. You become a liability when you provide for the man and you keep nagging about how he is mis-managing funds and the likes. I agree, that women should support, but the most appreciated support a man needs is mostly in moral support and emotional support.

Traditionally, the African woman is one of the most hardworking in the world. It is in their genes. The second richest demography in America are African American Women. The African woman is a hustler by birth. She wakes up first in the morning to prepare the food, goes to the farm as soon as the sun is rising, seeks the shelter of the market in the heat of noon while trading and performs household cores in the evening. She never rests. That is why I am confused when I see these new generation of ladies who just want to sit down in front of TV all day with the hopes of marrying a rich guy. That is an aberration to the work ethics ingrained in an African woman. Kudos OP for the re-awakening.

Gorgeous58:
Ladies, what's your take on this?

Oops... I am guy! **looks for duster to erase post**

space booked

My origin is from Majorca, which is a great city on the sea, between two mountains and divided by a small valley, a commercial city, with two wonderful harbors. The city is on the island also known as Majorca, and most of its land is populated with fig and olive trees. My father was a well respected man in the city. I was his only son.
When I was six, he sent me to a priest who taught me to read the Gospel and logic, which I finished in six years. After that I left Majorca and traveled to the city of Larda, in the region of Castillion, which was the center of learning for Christians in that region. At least 1,000-1,500 Christian students gathered there. All were under the administration of the priest who taught them. I studied the Gospel and its language for another four years. After that I left for Bologne in the region of Anbardia. Bologne is a very large city, it being the center of learning for all the people of that region. Every year, more than 2,000 students gather together from different places. They cover themselves with rough cloth which they call the “Hue of God.”
All of them, whether the son of a workman or the son of a ruler wear this wrap, in order to make the students distinct from others. Only the priest teaches controls and directs them. I lived in the church with an aged priest. He was greatly respected by the people because of his knowledge and religiousness and asceticism, which distinguished him from the other Christian priests. Questions and requests for advice came from everywhere, from kings and rulers, along with presents and gifts. They hoped that he would accept their presents and grant them his blessings. This priest taught me the principles of Christianity and its rulings. I became very close to him by serving and assisting him with his duties until I became one of his most trusted assistants, so that he trusted me with the keys of his domicile in the church and of the food and the drink stores. He kept for himself only the key of a small room where he used to sleep. I think, and Allah knows best, that he kept his treasure chest in there. I was a student and servant for a period of 10 years; then he fell ill and failed to attend the meetings of his fellow priests.
During his absence the priests discussed some religious matters, until they came to what was said by the Almighty Allah through his Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) in the Gospel: “After him will come a Prophet called Paraclete.” They argued a great deal about this Prophet and as to who he was among the prophets. Everyone gave his opinion according to his knowledge and understanding; and they ended without achieving any benefit in that issue. I went to my priest, and as usual he asked about what was discussed in the meeting that day. I mentioned to him the different opinions of priests about the name Paraclete, and how they finished the meeting without clarifying its meaning.
He asked me: “What was your answer?” I gave my opinion which was taken from interpretation of a well known exegesis. He said that I was nearly correct like some priests, and the other priests were wrong.
“But the truth is different from all of that. This is because the interpretation of that noble name is known only to a small number of well versed scholars. And we posses only a little knowledge.”
I fell down and kissed his feet, saying: “Sir, you know that I traveled and came to you from a far distant country, I have served you now for more than 10 years; and have attained knowledge beyond estimation, so please favor me and tell me the truth about this name.” The priest then wept and said: “My son, by God, you are very much dear to me for serving me and devoting yourself to my care. Know the truth about this name, and there is a great benefit, but there is also a great danger. And I fear that when you know this truth, and the Christians discover that, you will be killed immediately.”I said: “By God, by the Gospel and He who was sent with it, I shall never speak any word about what you will tell me, I shall keep it in my heart.” He said: “My son, when you came here from your country, I asked you if it is near to the Muslims, and whether they made raids against you and if you made raids against them. This was to test your hatred for Islam. Know, my son, that Paraclete is the name of their Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), to whom was revealed the fourth book as mentioned by Daniel. His way is the clear way which is mentioned in the Gospel.” I said: “Then sir, what do you say about the religion of these Christians?”
He said:”My son, if these Christians remained on the original religion of Jesus, then they would have been on God’s religion, because the religion of Jesus and all the other prophets is the true religion of God. But they changed it and became unbelievers.” I asked him: “Then, sir, what is the salvation from this?” He said “Oh my son, embracing Islam.” I asked him: “Will the one who embraces Islam be saved?” He answered: “Yes, in this world and the next.” I said: “The prudent chooses for himself; if you know, sir the merit of Islam, then what keeps you from it?” He answered: “My son, the Almighty Allah did not expose me to the truth of Islam and the Prophet of Islam until after I have become old and my body weakened. Yes, there is no excuse for us in this, on the contrary, the proof of Allah has been established against us. If God had guided me to this when I was your age I would have left everything and adopted the religion of truth.
Love of this world is the essence of every sin, and look how I am esteemed, glorified and honored by the Christians, and how I am living in affluence and comfort! In my case, if I show a slight inclination toward Islam they would kill me immediately. Suppose that I was saved from them and succeeded in escaping to the Muslims, they would say, do not count your Islam as a favor upon us, rather you have benefited yourself only by entering the religion of truth, the religion that will save you from the punishment of Allah! So I would live among them as a poor old man of more than 90 years, without knowing their language, and would die among them starving. I am, and all praise is due to Allah, on the religion of Christ and on that which he came with, and Allah knows that from me.” So I asked him: “Do you advise me to go to the country of the Muslims and adopt their religion?” He said to me: “If you are wise and hope to save yourself, then race to that which will achieve this life and the Hereafter.

Thank God some of our women are beginning to get money-sense. Dats good! At least na emotional sense remain.

OP, ur head day work jare.

Datin a woman wit a source of livelihood is equivalent to a woman datin a man becuse he hs a source of livelihood. This u knw is wt we men cl "greedy girls". Wt mks a "real woman" is situational n nt dispositional jst like wt mks a "real man"

Even witout livelihood, strive to find a woman wit "character" fr within dis is al d source of "livelihood" u nid.

OMG!

Please are you still single?

Good advice..... Well said

Would you adopt it?

tommiebuck:


lols,i do know there are successful men without the help of women and the vice versa. honestly speaking, it high time dudes understand there are women who can really do without them financially. i am a living withness anyways. dont say the way i think is weird ref to what you said the other time, just know i think and talk from experience, environment and situations.

Here comes the long awaited woman! A woman that can spoil me with money- an independent woman. Pls, hook me up. PM me and let's talk

Op if u must know, many women are earning their pay n can help out if such situation arises. But can our ego tripping, arrogant, chauvinistic men take it? Many Naija men are too egoistic to depend on their wives oh.....they become touchy n defensive for no just cause....emotional n verbal abuse then ensues.....God help the sista! The only way to have peace is for d woman to deposit all her monthly earnings into his account n allow him do d spending
My humble submission

1. Look who's talking about rudeness. I usually ignore you because you're such a pig.
2. You know you were wrong, but you said it anyway? What does that make you, if not a dumbáss? Rhetorical question.
3. What kind of stúpid question is that? What do you think?

Lik'ed so hard'
My mum was like that. Strong industrious woman. My dad was laid off from his very good oil job and never found his feet again. Without my mum filling the void it may have been hard for all of us. Men shouldn't see this as a license to be lazy, goes without saying.

Missy89:
See how the male posters are kissing the OP's A55.

As long as Africa remains a patriarchal society where men gets almost everything and there are weak laws protecting women. Social behavior would not change and most women will keep being a "liability" (whatever that means). If you don't like it, advocate for more women's right and compete on a level playing field.

Better go get a job and take care of your family or die trying.
Weak a55 niggahs

I know you want some a55 kissing as well , sorry hon no one's gonna kiss your craw craw riddled a55.

I hate liabilities ladies. If your request is getting too much its time to brake up

pcguru1:


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.

Oh so u think women are at a disadvantage when it comes to marriage?

And you don't want them to be a "liability" even thou their rights would not be guaranteed when it goes burst?

When i say social norms, i meant most women are being trained to just go to school and marry and wait on their husbands to provide most of what they need. If you want that to change, there needs to be re orientation and opportunities should be created for women to be competitive as men from early stages.
