BananaBender: Unfortunately men are creating and enforcing this laws to accommodate the ranting and nagging of women. A time will come our women will become unmanageable occasioned by this gender equality nonsense/ feminist creed, we will shove those laws and introduce a law that will permanently keep them in the KITCHEN. I just know the western world are only but experimenting on this 'organised holocaust' called gender equality. |

I will not pay bride price, I will not buy credit and other stuffs for my gf, I will not give a dime out of my hard earned money to my wife, I will get a house help. These are things that will happen in a world of gender equality. If there is a feminist here that genuinely likes my comment, click like. Hypocrites!!! They want gender roles and still want equality. This list is just an epitome of what a man faces in africa under the guise of 'head of family.' I see the 'weaker' sex in shops built by the toil of men, while their husbands toil in harsh sun. From primary to secondary, till university, men are made to go through harsh conditions, which these pathetic things don't care about, rather than their narrow and selfish views of life. To hell with 'head'! Who wants it anyway? That white elephant thing that brings no yield. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Misogynist2014: i want to pay bride price - it's our tradition. i have been doing my research - i want to marry a woman where the brideprice is the most expensive. it would be hard for such a bride to demand equality.
the idea of the brideprice is actually a good concept. why should inlaws trust the suitors with their precious daughter if there's no evidence he's financially capable to take care of her? this was why the idea of brideprice came from. there were some traditions where men have to wrestle & the winner takes the bride. the concept is simple - they want the best man for the women. however, our african women are now trapped - they have an identity crisis. they don't know whether to adopt the western norm wholeheartedly or stick to the african norm wholeheartedly. the super-fraudulent ones want the best of both worlds which is hypocritical in principle.

Bride price is but almost non existence in several part of southern Nigeria particularly igboland. Family of the bride do usually take a pinch from it and returned back whatever the intending groom must have deposited. In this circumstances, It culturally ideal and traditionally demanding that a PREMIUM be placed on a bride to make her appear demanding, treasured with substantial value. Whatever we do in life, we work hard for it. In traditional Africa, a man seek for a wife and this custom had been with our forefathers before our generation. Paying bride price signify the importance of your ability to support and maintain your wife. African societies still believe that a Man owns a home, his wife and the children within his household therefore for a man to marry, he has to satisfy certain obligations towards his inlaw before their daughter is handed to him to begin his own family unit. In present igboland, when a lady is given out in marriage, she is considered the property of the husband hence not encouraged to return home whatever the situation. It doesn't make sense for a man to 'give' out his daughter he trained and natured for years to a stranger as gift. A stipend should commensurate his effort and I think this is non negotiable atleast in this part of the world. African societies believe that a child, particularly the girl child belongs to the society/ community and not just the parent alone. So its in place they are invited to partake in giving out of one of their own in marriage. A lot of guys make the mistakes of organising elaborate traditional marriage after 'settling' the kins men with their demands. You can gather them on the day you prefer, settle them their demands and feed them if you like. Though my criticisms lies in the changing/ upgrading of the lists from what it use to be. Whatever it takes during our forefathers should be continued to give it that cultural feels. Nowadays list are rip off and utterly shameful. |

emmysoftyou:what I was trying to put across is that,by the matrilineal system of the akans for instance,the child is from the mother's abusua(family) and thus her hometown. but the father has full control over the child and so he has to name the child. what I refuted from your post was the part where I saw you typed something like or near-" children in Ghana bear their mothers' surnames"...its never true for both the Patrilineal and matrilineal systems...all in all,fathers own all children in Ghana and have the sole responsibility to name them whatever name they like except by Law/in special cases. |
