CFCfan: Even with the Act in place, how much effect has it got on the American working populace? Unfortunately, the same stats you quote may be her undoing. Women want a male leader, MOST women are more likely to vote for a man than a women. |

[quote author=CFCfan] In many US states, the wealth is shared almost equally, regardless of whether one of the spouses contributed money in buying the properties. As I posted earlier, once two people are legally married here in the US, their finances become one. They file taxes jointly. For instance if the wife earned $500, and the husband earned $700 last year; the federal and/or state income tax will be levied on the total sum of $1200.[/ That is why most people prefer to stay single |

Sweetlemon: Yeah we all think America is a liberated, free country for all. But what we do not know is that to some extent, there are things that Americans still practice despite all the feminism and human rights movements, some even outdated. My home guys saw this topic, they knew you haven't been to America. You're disgusting. There's no iota of truth in this write up 4 Likes |

Sweetlemon: Ok!! Percentage you say? Let me take you up on that. You said America probably has a greater percentage of housewives than Nigeria right? Ok!! According to the US census bureau, there are 5.2 million stay at home mums (as of 2013) out of about 85 million mums in the US. That gives you something in the region of 6%. Do you frankly think the percentage of Nigerian housewives is below 6%? As for the virgin issue, how did you arrive at that? How would you even compare a liberal country like America to a deeply religious, conservative country like Nigeria, where in some cultures a woman's value is tied to her virginity?? I assume you're a resident of America, how is it you seem not to have a firm grasp on the facts pertaining to the country in which you reside? Please enlighten me if you will. 1 Like |

CFCfan: Okay let me make it clearer. If she decides to run, former Senator and former Secretary of State and former First Lady of the United States for two terms, Mrs. Hillary Clinton (who I had major crush on when she was much younger) will be the next POTUS Bill Clinton is still a powerful Democrat and he will wage a humanistic and gory war of which politics has never seen before to make sure that his Wife wins. |

CFCfan: It's not a guarantee the NY Supreme Court will, and even if it does, you lobby your way to SCOTUS. Even at that, I will use stall tactics; everything necessary not to part 60% of my wealth and if possible, transfer such wealth into nontransferable asset. Something that I know will interfere will federal law.. One thing I know I will not part 60%. Donald Trump did not do that..Heck, it's time to HIRE THE EXPERTS, THEY ARE GOOD AT HIDING ASSETS. |

1. Ain't Nothing Like Gender Equality: Yes there are a few superwomen here and there. Beyonce there, Oprah Winfrey there, female supreme court judges, etc. But there is a line drawn somewhere. Do you know that there are still many jobs that pay men more than women for doing exactly the same thing? Business policies are more male-tailored, also the percentage of female CEOs of top companies in Nigeria for instance is far more than that of the US. That's why they have so many laws protecting women to make up for this. Also, it will be easier for a female president to come out from Nigeria than US (black or white) Let's bet this. Hilary Clinton fans take note of this. #_I have seen women do all the jobs men does. Driving buses,road repairs 3. There Are Probably More Percentage Of Housewives In The US Than In Nigeria (minus rural settings); Go to high brow areas like Bel-air where there are wives of successful lawyers and and surgeons doing nothing all than taking care the kids and going shopping. Not just high brow but almost all classes of people. There are more and more housewives choosing to stay back and take care of the home. Some work from the house though. #_Please.. The women you mistakenly took as housewives are Ex-convicts. If you have been to jail, you can't get a job in America. 4. There Are Lots Of Gold Diggers; This is for the "Nigerian girls and money" criers. American and Russian babes no dey carry last in the area of god digging. Marrying an American woman is like getting ready to loose more than half your wealth because in case of a divorce, the courts will give her most of your wealth which you will have to work hard to replenish. Sometimes it"s worse if she already has her own money, she will make sure she gets a good lawyer to squeeze you dry. But American billionaires have ways of making new money so they are coping. Lol. Do you know there are many, many young even middle aged attractive women with the sole aim of marrying wealthy men? #_American ladies don't need your money. IF you misbehave, they divorce you 5. Straight Guys Hate Gay Guys; With a passion! Go to American sites and blogs and see anonymous comments from straight guys about gay men. You will coil! Words like "gay asss" or "gay" are used to ridicule them codedly. Gays can NEVER have equal rights in America. Politicians just use them to score points. They all know that homosexuals cannot actually live like and get all the benefits of straight people in all American states. #_True 6. An American Guy Will Choose A Virgin Over A LovePeddler As Wife; Unless, of course love comes in, contrary to what people think that American men don't care about morality in their women, they will pick an inexperienced girl over a LovePeddler any time any day. Not like they are looking for virgins, but they need and crave decent women. If you don't believe me, watch BAGGAGE on Dstv 127 almost every evening. Also visit American blogs and forums. Yes the Average American guy can't resist some one night stands here and there but he can't marry her. Yes they can have baby mamas and even live with them, but they don't marry them. #_Big lie. American guys prefer women that had children from another men 7. There Are Actually More Percentage of Virgins In America Than In Most Countries In Africa; Some of them are the miss-goody-two-shoes, no makeup, no fancy dresses types while some are the party girl types. They chose to remain virgins not for religious reasons or because they are good girls but because they chose to preserve it for that special man, or to auction it off! Lol! Is it not oyibos that auction that virginity? Some as old as 26 years old! #_TRUE 8. American Guys Go To Meet Their Girlfriend's Families Long Before Nigerian Guys Are Ready For Such; They are also old-fashioned when it comes to serious relationships. Opening car doors, taking you out on several dates, and even meeting your folks before taking you to his house or asking you to come to his. Unlike our Nigerian niggas who get your number today and the next thing they are asking when you will come to see them! #_TRUE |
