Here comes the biggest hypocrite in all of nairaland. Western kids wether male of female talk to their parents anyhow they like. I've seen little boys on Maury who actually beat their moms up. Never saw a female who hit their parents. So the male kids are even more guilty in that aspect.

Secondly, you are wrong on the divorce ration. Contrary to what you cited , 8 out 10 divorce cases are actually caused by the adultery on the part of the men and we all know that western women don't tolerate bullshittt.


And how does the word "hypocrite" correlate with my view?

Se ko re e?

Not all bro, dia re exceptions. Usually ppl those things affects are ppl who don’t tell the truth to the woman Dey wanna marry and the woman herself comes with too many expectations. Secondly who the woman is listening to and lastly her mindset before crossing.

Over here when ladies cross for education purposes dey will not even answer your hello in the name of seeking white men till konji and age sets in Dey will be begging men for prick and marriage as if it’s 10 naira

Ishilove don vex o. See what civilization has caused. But sincerely, the fact that you are a woman doesn't make you feel less or make you inferior to a man. The point is everything should be done in love and a woman must do whatever house chore willingly and not by compulsion. The Bible said women should submit themselves to their husbands while husband should love their wives.

If there is genuine love and respect in the home, there won't be much problem but with the mumu civilization we have now coming from the western world, genuine love and submission have aleady been flushed down the toilet.
You see the bolded? What you wrote is in the context of marital relationships. What your brothers want is the woman performing wifely duties in non-marital relationships.

Don’t You mean she took loans and went to school to better herself?

You always know the ignorant ones when they claim someone trained another adult in higher education in the USA. Especially someone who’s not earning above 6 figures.

Tuition in America is exorbitant. Most People use loans to go to school. When your naija uncle tells you he trained his wife in school, ask him to tell you the truth.

.
naturally any diasporan man who comes to naija to take a homebased wife with him back to abroad will naturally see to her needs if he enrolls her in college over there. Those diasporan guys wey no too whole and wey no go fit afford to carry a homebased wife back with them wetin dem dem do be say wen dem come back home to marry a homebased wife they insist she remains in nigeria while they may be sending her montly allawee( though sometimes such men insist their homebase wife remain in nigeria cos they might be married with kids overseas). Many of such ladies full benin and some even get lovers on code sef. The man can only visit on christmas and new year or maybe easter as well. The ones who pick their homebased wives with them back abroad always see to the wellbeing of such wives. Why do u think most diasporan men who wen they carry their wives back with them always insist they enroll for a medical programme when they are overseas with them.

cheating isn't always stemmed from a bad perspective, sometimes sexual dissatisfaction is a major factor, sexual satisfaction in relationships is premised on the knowledge that you open yourself to and the principles you engage.

This has been worrisome abeg, I don’t like the idea of bringing any gf from Naija come marry, they mess up real bad.

The Naija girls wey dem born abroad sef, they ain’t any way different from foreigners wey go dey tell you to start sharing house chores 50:50 with dem. There is nothing bad if I do those chores in my own volition, but making it a duty for me is a no-no.

Reason why I cant marry white is obvious, the very immediate point I just made up there, some won’t even let you take your kids back to naija coz it’s shîthole

Please, if you are a
1. Naija married man in a foreign land
2. Didn’t marry here in naija but abroad


How did you get married and what type of woman is she.


Please we wanna learn

Would you still expect that wife to work and share bills with you? Then stop complaining bout chores cos almost all ur African brothers in d western world understand that this is how life works here. Goodluck with ur search for a wife

Interesting

Countries advancing because of "patriarchy?"

I have never heard about that one before undecided

Even tho the world in general is patriarchal, even western countries are, there are underdeveloped patriachal countries and developed ones

it has nothing to do with patriarchy

is Nigeria not patriachal to the bone?

WhY is it a shithole?

I often like your posts, and it's been a while I have seen you BUT I disagree on this one

First off, I'm not sure how you read this sentence of mine:

That's why China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Hungary, India, et al are all advancing and becoming wealthy countries, but never abandoning their patriarchy.

And somehow you interpreted it as "countries advancing because of 'patriarchy'."

Nation building requires a lot of moving pieces that have to interact in the right way for there to be advancements. I simply said they're advancing and becoming wealthy, but not abandoning their patriarchy. They have the choice to but they aren't.

That's why Russia jailed a feminist blogger for inciting hate against men. Egypt jailed a feminist for making an uncorroborated sexual assault claim against a taxi driver. These are countries advancing but sticking with their patriarchy. Women can vote, they can drive cars, they can even assume political office, but they have lines women can't cross.

And every day I find it harder to fault their choice. For example, I'm pro-choice. Women have a right to decide if they want to keep a baby or not. But I have a term limit--first trimester. However, there are pro-choice absolutists in the US pushing for women to have the right to abort newborns during birth or after birth. They're calling it after-birth abortion, when by any reasonable definition of it, it really is infanticide.

And this is not just alt-right propaganda. The governor of Virginia supported it after a female state legislator pushed the bill. That's what happens when you give women a meter.

And the funny part is that I'm antimoralist, can understand the logic behind their extreme calls, but even I know it's a cuckoo call.

That's what my point is about, not your misinterpretation of making it seem patriarchy is responsible for economic growth.

And even if I were to debate that sentiment, it certainly would be a lot clearer. Because even in most Asian matriarchal societies, men don't do domestic chores. The matriarch organizes women in her family for child rearing, house cleaning, and other traditional feminine roles in patriarchal societies.

Even among Bonobos, matriarchs and high-ranking females give their sons male privilege and in-fighting is just as prevalent as any ape society. Then among Chimpanzees, recent research has uncovered the nuance of the patriarchy and how alpha males aren't just outsized brute males who lord over submissive, voiceless females; but leaders who have to serve their troops, form changing alliances, provoke admiration, and continually convince the female clan that they have what it takes to lead.

This entire idea that patriarchy is a cancer that should be excised goes against the spirit of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. All of our sissified, docile cousins (from other human species in the homo genus to the ardipithecus) are extinct. Men told the womenfolk to stay back and raise kids while they hunted animals many times their size like the mammoth and after that regularly go on multi-year war campaigns, because women on average are terrible hunters and fighters.

I don't know how many feminists, like our residents cococandy and co, would relish the opportunity of going after a sabre-tooth tiger attacking the community with only stone tools. Whereas able men of fighting age would be rallied, much like the compulsory draft for males in the US, to go after a beast whose biting force can crack skulls like a popsicle.

Women did not enter the workplace in the US until there was a world war. With men giving their lives in the trenches, women had to join the war effort by taking jobs in industries. And this could only work out because the first and second industrial revolutions had eliminated a lot of manual work in favor of machines. Who designed and developed these machines? The patriarchy. Why? Because of the Patriarchy and for the Patriarchy?

Today, we've advanced so much and are now in the knowledge economy, heavily reducing the need for manual labor, and as such women can participate. And what thanks did the patriarchy get for that? Vilification.

Even then, fewer women choose to do the most necessary and the most dangerous jobs required for the advancement of human civilization. Instead of going into STEM, they rather want to go into gender studies. Rather than take construction, truck driving jobs, with high work-related mortality they instead want to take administrative jobs. Today, men account for 90+% of all workplace fatalities.

And the same men who have to go several miles underground to dig coal or work in oil rigs to source for the fuel that'd power the devices that make their lives easier somehow are the embodiments of toxic masculinity who they waste no time denigrating with the same inventions made by men and the patriarchy.

So while patriarchy is not solely responsible for the advancement of human society, it sure explains a lot. And by a lot, I mean over 300,000 years.

Amazing. Typing like dating a western woman is a status symbol. Lol.

It seems western women are so special that they dont shit piss or smell. If they are so special why is their men not marrying them? Why is their men all going to asia and eastern europe for women. Why is MGTOW very popular in western society?
I'd like to jump in on this. Western women are also not marrying western men. It is not as if the decision is solely for the man to make. Some of us only want to get married once in our lifetime, hence it is imperative to have a hand in that choice. We are not chattles. More women are choosing to remain single because we want to wait for our person/take our time to find him. I have been single for most of my life and will continue to be until I find my person. If someone asks me to marry him and I feel he is not genuine, we are incompatible, he has questionable character, doesn't treat me well, I will thank him but decline.

Very interesting. I've noticed that too..any idea why that is so? the feminism wave is more prevalent in non-muslim cultures than in Muslim ones

I think it has to do with the religion specifying women roles. I love equality but the feminist wave is now becoming hostile. More women are now ingesting testosterone either through movies, books or commercials. Someone was arguing against my suggestion. It’s my opinion and I have seen the Muslim abroad holding on to their traditional lives and conflicts in marriages are easily resolved. Also, you know your children would have some traditional values and not get carried away with the next new thing.

America is a toxic environment - anything goes as long as there is money to be made from it.

Having a good marriage doesn't have to do with race, your skin color or the language you speak, if you are abroad,came home to get a wife and it got bad and that made you create a bad identity for Nigeria women and discourage others thinking about doing such with deserving partners,permit me to say you are committing a grave sin against humanity and also accept my sincere sympathy if you fell into wrong hands,bad men and women are everywhere,Nigeria,America,Europe,Asia,middle east e.t.c,im sure your sisters and aunts are Nigerians,are they bad too Not every Nigeria women see you guys abroad as an escape route out of poverty,some of us are God fearing,hard working, disciplined and love genuinely,good marriage is more than big ass,big boobs,fine,skin colour,level of education or exposure or even fat pocket,i know people who married home based and are enjoying it,i also know another who got the other side of it, not leaving out those who married abroad based/other race and are enjoying it and those who also got screwed, Life happens! get a partner who loves you genuinely and understand what marriage is irrespective of his/her race.

Naija4lifeYank:
This is more than apt.
This will be my only post on Nairaland. I'm only posting so no man goes through what I went through.
I live in the US.
My marriage crashed when I came home to marry a Naija-based angel. I never planned to come home to marry. I trusted my friend's report of good behavior from his family member not knowing he knew it was all a ruse. It was a planned job.
My father died from medical complications and having lost my mom much earlier, I came home to bury him. The Naija-based lady knew I was now an orphan used all her wiles to pretend to love me. Pretended to be helping to fill the void left by my parents and I finally agreed to marry her.
I was earning well over $180,000 a year and had luxury home and luxury car.
She arrived and within 1 month, I knew I had made the mistake of my life.
She demanded a luxury SUV since I had one and I told her it didn't make any sense to have two gas-guzzlers in the home. She immediately went into a tantrum. This was someone not contributing anything to the home financially. I got her a brand new Honda Accord. She wasn't very satisfied.
She started buying clothes. Every weekend it was a bill of $600 for clothes. I told her that's not how we spend money in America, she kept going. Always complaining. That she didn't have enough clothes. She is Igbo, so I paid for all the wedding in Nigeria. her family probably contributed only her wedding dress.
So I was starting to think who is this clown that I married.
She got pregnant and then started threatening me with potentially divorce & Child support if I don't do things that make her happy.
One day I got back from work (4 months after wedding) and she had been entertaining another man in the home that I paid all the mortgage on. I knew this because somebody had used the ipad at home to view his Instagram and Facebook and forgot to sign out.
I confronted her and she denied it. She started taking calls from all manner of men from Nigeria, sometimes going to the bathroom to talk to them
Fast forward, one day she told me her cousin from Nigeria was coming to our city in Maryland and could he stay in our home. I found out that the guy was not her cousin really and shut it down. She started saying by US law the home belonged to her and her kids. I told her I had a baseball bat and if she had 10 heads, she should bring the "cousin" to come visit.
By the time she had our son, she had become a full-fledged monster. Refusing to cook, etc. I did most of the house work and had a cleaner come clean the house.
I divorced her shortly after. I had to start paying her child support until God came to my rescue and the Judge decided I was the better parent and I won custody of my son.
It was the worst experience of my life and I lost so much. Her family was in on the whole thing. I assume they were so greedy to want my home
Before anyone asks, I never cheated on her. or hit her.
She did everything those women do: she called the cops to the house during an argument. I was so worried she was going to lie about physical abuse that never happened. I lived in FEAR in my own home. NEVER going to that state of things again. I'm free now.

For those who say the wife took a loan for school, so how did you send her through school, most times you co-sponsor the loan for the wife using your credit
I'll never be married again (I'm still in my thirties) and NEVER marry a woman from Nigeria again.







So sorry about your experience. I also understand your fear. Many Nigerian women still do not understand US laws. Some think they moment they marry you everything is theirs. However, they forget that prior to the marriage whatever the man has is his. During the marriage, whatever assets and liabilities incurred would be shared 50:50 if there is no prenuptial agreement and if there is, according to the sharing ratio agreed by both partners.

All these the house belong to the wife is a lie but because of the kids welfare and the woman being assumed as the primary life giver. If the man decides to sell the house he brought prior to the marriage, the woman gets kicked out.

Countries developing or not have ZERO links to patriarchy

Like I said, there are patriarchal rich and poor countries
developed and underdeveloped etc

It's so many things rolled in one.

And women played A BIG ROLE too in civilizations that are stable and surviving
And here is the catch

Women are just as capable of destroying civilisations

And funny enough, the world is STILL patriarchal
even westen Europe

All the rebellion and feminism and all these is because largely, we as men failed to manage things


if there was no basis, all these movements would have died and had no base

But it's because men of the past were highly misogynist and dealt badly with women, that these movements happen.

In societies that are less misogynist

feminism lacks appeal there

in societies that women role are not belittled or commonised the way you see it here, feminism lacks appeal too.

I did volunteer work in a far flung village somewhere in Africa, feminism can NEVER sell there because they don't need it.
the womentake pride in their role as nurturers and custodian of family while the men do their bit (tho polygamy is the small minus they have)


why will they want to leave that role, and be dragging men's role with them

@Cococandy, I choosed to mention you because u vividly understood the concept. I live in Canada and the truth is 70% of naija men needs brain resetting. A man will immigrate to Canada with his family, pushed the wife to go and do RN against her wish, he still wants the RN with about 3children and 12hrs shift to come back and serve his hands and foot. Is this not insane?, i dont really understand the basis upon which marriage is constituted. marriage especially Nigeria men. What I see in most of this naija men are selfishness,. Alot of peaceful families are divorcing because the man wants the wife to work full time, pay half of the Bill's and still serve him and the children. The moment you men understand that women are humans created by God as God created you people, marital issues will disappear.
To all this ones shouting my property this and that, which property do u even own, is it the one u mortgaged to pay for 25 to 30yrs? Or another one. I trained my wife in school, with whose money. Can any of you even train somebody in school single handedly without Govt loan? Mtcheww, confused Hypocrites.
And for the this olosho poster looking for a woman to enslave, continue and am sure u will find one when u are 75yrs old. Nonsense


Madam you must be in pains. Did you lose your marriage. Many of these issues could have been resolved by mere dialogue. I live in Canada too with my family. It’s a cultural shock for me barely doing any domestic chores during my lifetime due to having maids at my leisure and disposal.

My wife works and still handles her role. She complains too and I understand when she is in that mood. I can’t cook else I would have supported her. We have agreed on how domestic chores would be handled. I do the cleaning. She does the cooking. She still complains - Women do love to complain. Anyways it’s more of having a sincere discussion than cussing out. Nobody would listen to each other.

In marriage you work as partners. You compromise and ignore certain things. It’s for your own happiness. What does a woman gain challenging a man - to me it’s childish. Learn to communicate even when you are angry. Based on some of the comments I have read here, I can point out bad wives, potential bad wives and good wives as well.

Since most families in the USA have joint ownership of assets, the money the women make also go the men. So these men aren’t saints who are saving desperate naija girls from poverty. They are also pragmatic calculating people who are seeking to improve their status in life by the women they marry.

You can tell the naive ignorant people otherwise but those who know know

The dentists only whites and Africans can afford, crack-headed low life black Americans can’t afford a plate of salad grin
Hahahahahahahaha mofo leeches

Please ignore that black America. They are the scum of black people. Always good at giving the black race a bad name. Quick to claim victims instead of getting things done. Don’t give yourself a headache because of their irritating lifestyle. You wonder what’s she is doing on a Nigerian forum if she dislikes Nigerians so much.

na liecheesycheesy.. No be beauty dey make woman dey act arrogant or go say she refuse to cook or do any stuff. Na her mindset. Na d way her mom take raise her for house. I have seen ugly girls dat act as if dey are the world's most precious gift to a man and very beautiful ladies who are down to act. In short from my experience its the beautiful ladies who are more down to earth than than the ugly and plain onescheesy. Say one mgbeke paint paint face and wear one mammy water wig and start to dey shake yansh in front of mirror does not make her beautifulcheesy
One once tols me she cant cook, clean or do any domestic work, that any man who marries her must get a maid...when I asked if she was willing to hustle like the man and share bills with him...she said lailai...A man must take care of his woman and bla bla bla...This crave for equality without acceptance of tge reaponsibility that comes with it, is the reason most ladies are single and lot of unions are collapsing...

all these ones u guys are saying ladies born and bred in nigeria are traditional my guy its not all dat are traditional. My neighbour here his wife is a born and bred bini lady. She does not cook or do any domestic stuff.its her husband who does the domestic stuff and they have a 12 yr old boy that helps the man. The lady no dey enter market as well. Some nigerian guys overseas who have never stepped their foot into africa and nigeria always have this fantasy dreams about african womencheesy. African ladies don wise up. Go to some naija homes and u will see dat na man dey cook inside d kitchen in some homes while d woman dey sitting or go dey polish her nails for balcony.
There is something wrong somewhere with that.It not normal.

I think it has to do with the religion specifying women roles. I love equality but the feminist wave is now becoming hostile. More women are now ingesting testosterone either through movies, books or commercials. Someone was arguing against my suggestion. It’s my opinion and I have seen the Muslim abroad holding on to their traditional lives and conflicts in marriages are easily resolved. Also, you know your children would have some traditional values and not get carried away with the next new thing.

America is a toxic environment - anything goes as long as there is money to be made from it.

some of the Muslims confirm BY CHOICE

But a culture that promotes honour killings and the subjugation and commoditization of women is not a culture worth praising or emulating

I respect cultures that ALLOW women to be feminine and "traditional" by choice, not coercion

At a family friends town in Canada, a Pakistani man (muzzie btw) killed his two daughters for coming over and partying and living the life that youths their age were living

So I will NEVER support or give kudos to such undecided

But just likr we have in parts of northern NIGERIA
some of them are well educated have good careers and still are "traditional"
e.g. Moghalu VP candidate

That's more like it.

You have still not answered his question, just talking around it. Mind you, the people who liked your comments are men like you with entitlement sense. Men with poor upbringing, who weren't trained to help their sisters and mothers with house chores.

You are going to have problems in your marriage if you think this way
