einsteino: May your wisdom never run dry. You are the only one addressing this issue from a balanced view. As per the bolded, I am a realist as well. I am definitely getting one before I get married (that's if I get married). I ain't playing myself. Lajiniran, stop responding to everyone. You don't owe people explanations. Get the information you need and move on. One love. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Naijaforeigner:With the way things are going i think everyone should protect themselves. A prenup also helps the lady if you know you are a hardworker. So you do not loose your sweat during issues. As much as i do not hope to have problems in marriage i just hope the person i end up with agrees to a prenup. You cannot trust the future with the present. 2 Likes 1 Share |

einsteino: Some women are really gaming the system big time, they get into marriage with the sole aim of a divorce later on. Even after a costly divorce, they demand for all sort of settlement just to keep the man in penury. Some are intentional so the man will not even be able to afford a date night with another woman, yet they always have a new guy in the house paid/still being paid for by the ex. One man I know who just retired lost His house to the wife, now staying with the brother. Please if you're still dating,watch out for abusive behaviors/words, and leave if/while you can, don't ever use 'but She/He loves me ' line to tolerate unacceptable behavior. I don't even think that marriage is a requirement to make Heaven, Valhalla or inherit the earth (as it applies to you). 16 Likes 1 Share |

ednut1: It's called wickedness. Taking advantage of the system to inflict pain on men. I know a couple of Naija men running around trying to fix their lives after losing what they worked for to women they called wives. Same women will come online and be saying something different. If you are not married yet, lucky you. Better think and look well before you leap. 6 Likes 1 Share |

19CannyMum: Babe, I am a female. I don't know for Canada but in Nigeria, I have friends who don't want to work. Their own is to go for school run, go to gym, rub cream and apply make up. They are very good cooks but won't want to do any business in that line. They are fufilled being house wives. I also had some male friends in school who had ambition of marrying complete house wives. Just take care of the house. One of them is married for over 10 years now and it is just this year that he is considering letting his wife work due to that the agency he works is shaking and govt plans to stop allocation to their office. So you see he is not completely wrong. I understand the guy's fears. There is even an issue we are settling now, hubby is 20yrs older than the wife but based in Yankee, brought her to Yankee and trained her in nursing. Guy did not improve himself and continued with his blue collar job, now the girls family is doing everything to make sure she divorces her hubby cos they believe she brings in all the money doing 3 jobs. Some may even go diabolical to achieve this. These fears are real! 28 Likes 3 Shares |

mamatwiny:You can only do housewife in Canada if hubby is earning very well/you are still schooling or it just makes better financial sense if you have small kids who haven't started kindergarten. If course we know things are happening, and definitely there are bad wives/husbands but a good man should not fear. No lady would wake up and without provocation want to start struggling as a single mom, it's not easy. I know a couple, the lady was a housewife in Nigeria, hubby was earning well, she COMPLETELY TRUSTED him. On getting to Canada, madam wanted to use his laptop to apply for jobs, only to discover things, he was cheating. Unfortunately madam was pregnant, that was the only thing that kept her there, when she finds her feet and leaves him, people will say women have started, forgetting the hurt and betrayal. Not everything is white and black. A good person has nothing to fear. Marriages are still working out well in the 'abroad' 33 Likes |

ednut1:Welcome, you bring groundnut? I agree with her. In Nigeria even courts can't find the man if he doesn't pay child support. Some judges award 5k for 2 kids. Marriage is only by force in Nigeria because the lady has no money or laws to back her up if she's been maltreated. Give Nigeria the laws that protect women abroad and see how many marriages will remain. Is it not in Lagos a friend had to borrow a guy friend to pose as her husband before she could rent a house. I wanted to cut my hair in Niger, brother barber say I should bring letter from my husband, I just entered Abuja. Yes, pray and shine your eyes and you will be fine 10 Likes |

mamatwiny: I've heard a lot in Nigeria, but I'm yet to meet in Canada. All the Nigerian women I've been meeting are either looking for work, working, or even hustling (buying and selling stuff, baking/cooking and selling etc.). Maybe it's just the people I'm meeting sha. Even in Nigeria it's quite cultural because where I grew up it's a woman that trains her children lol. The man just married multiple wives and lives his life while the women raise their children plus feed the man self. The only place you can really wear your human hair and full makeup to is Nigerian church, nobody else cares much lol. You cannot spray perfume at most workplaces. Minimalistic makeup and jewelry is the general work culture here. You can sha spend big money on expensive but minimalistic looking stuff sha, brand names and stuff. The truth is, our Nigerian gender system in my opinion is skewed af and like Einsteino said, everybody is supposed to adjust to the new reality here. There is more you being a man than providing financially and there's more to being a woman than being able to cook and clean. Having a good life here is all about combined household income. Imagine a couple living in Toronto where house prices start from 1m and the woman does not want to be financially useful. LMAO. However, even as you expect the woman to change role, you can start small small by splitting chores with her. Be the change you want to see .The other time we had that argument here, and so many people came out to be saying how can your wife expect you to do chores? Lol. As for that Yankee case, note that if it was in Canada and they get divorced, the woman will be paying spouse support lol because she's the income earner. The house husband in this case is the weaker party and will gain massively from the divorce. If he's been the one taking care of the children self he'll be able to seek full custody and then he'll probably get the house. She'll also have to make child support payments even if they have joint custody. 21 Likes 1 Share |
