Someone is seriously pained. Yahoo-yahoo or google-google, the greedy and affected ones should go and learn family and societal ethics from the developed world. They give respect to their men and they treat everyone equally, regardless of whether they receive N50k monthly or N1m monthly.

Full stop. Nigeria is hard for everyone. The way they complain, one will think the men live in mansions and the women are internally displaced people. Compared to most other african women, Nigerian women have it relatively easy. When you spend all your time watching Nollywood, Telemundo and Celebrity gossip, how would you become a CEO? When all you know is the latest Brazilian Hair, the latest eye lashes, eye brows, gucci and channel bags, how will you become a successful entrepreneur?

If Nigerian women do the right things they will get the right results. Half of them are just looking to marry another rich guy so that they never have to do anything reasonable for themselves. Stop blaming society; take a loot at the minor and ask if you are doing your best. Bunch of hypocrites.

You forgot to add Netflix and IrokoTv.

No way, you did not just say that... Those people that have been liking your comments are not going to like this one oo

Yea it got to me... When Caracta types hard-on to me, my blood starts getting hot.

Lol. You know I have a mind of my own. I don't want to derail this thread so let's not focus on equality. But again, there is no equality and it's only going to bring more conflict.

So back to Nigerian women...

Okay, what is the way forward?

crackhaus:

Okay, what is the way forward?

Respect, tolerance and fairness.

A woman doesn't work, she is lazy. She does, she is too ambitious. Marry a rich man, you are a gold digger. Marry a poor man, you are using his destiny. Be very light-skinned, you are bleaching. Be very dark-skinned, you are ugly. And so on and so forth.

I've made my point. Time for a massage and a nap afterwards.

The fact that a man wrote this means that there are people who talk and do things for other people. Most of us are not affected by the Nigerian society and what they think or their laws. However we know and empathise with women who suffer from these discrimination. We also would like to make a change because we do realise that the common good of everybody supersedes the common good of one man. Sometimes in life you just have to do things for other people. It is not always about you.

I keep hearing people say that people only rant on the Internet and do nothing else. My question is do you know everybody? Do you know what they do? Do you follow them home? How exactly do you know they are not doing anything? The Internet is very powerful and there is nothing wrong in using it to enlighten people. A lot of money is now spent on Internet advertising because they realise how powerful it is. Distant learning courses are even sometimes delivered through the Internet.

One reason our country remains in that state is because of this kind of selfish attitude. Most people are concerned about themselves alone. I am fine so I don't care about anyone else. In most countries, when people notice any form of discrimination or inequality, they create awareness and fight to put laws in place to correct them. In Nigeria, most people sit and accept the problem while looking for other people to join in their misery, deny its not happening or decide not to do anything because it does not affect them leaving the next generation to come and face the same problem.

If you don't want to do anything, no problem but don't stop people that want to do something. We do understand that what we represent is not for everyone .Also don't tell us how to do it right. If I did not like something or think something was bad, I would not tell the people how to do it right. I would be happy it was not being done well. I would only be bothered if I am against something and it is beginning to get a headway. We sure will get there. We might make mistakes along the way but we will correct them and get there one day.

My point is a woman should do what she wants as long as she's happy, people will still talk regardless just as they also talk if it's a man.

These are just the frustrations of failed women who always believe they are the victim. Forbes conducted a survey of the 100 most powerful women in Africa and 45% of them were Nigerians. The richest black woman in the world is a Nigerian. The former Prime Minister (Ngozo Okonjo Iweala) in the last administration was a woman and certainly the most powerful Minister (Diezani) was a woman.

The highest paid CEO is a woman (Sola David-Borha of Standbic Ibtc). Young female entrepreneurs abound in Nigeria, people in government, in the private sector. Our lazy women on Nairaland just love playing the victim card because of their failed lives. Rather than focus on how to better their lives, they come here and complain. Abeg leave them alone!

I don't get why threads like this often have to degenerate to such lengths.
Do the issues highlighted in the first post not exist?
Despite the strides made in Nigeria by women, do these issues not still exist?
Some issues would actually require legislation to be addressed and I don't believe you have to taint them as whining or being lazy when people highlight issues they face.

^

The reason why these threads "degenerate" to this level is because people are now aware that these kinds of threads are created not to proffer solutions to the problems of women but to make the woman feel special as a victim. If any other demographic or group came out to cry how difficult things are for them in the country they would be told to suck it up and dismissed. With all the hardship that women experience in this country they still somehow manage to outlive the men - that should give an indication who is really the hardest hit.

Absolutely! An awareness is created and it's through expositions like this we deal with IGNORANCE in our society.
It's like talking about a case of child abuse, and then your defense is to highlight cases of children who have killed their parents.
Women have chosen to highlight their issues...who the heck is stopping others from talking about their issues?
The first two pages were quite balanced and from what I could garner- females needed to be more ASSERTIVE. Every other post onward was the typical, generic bandwagon effect.

Women outlive men even in Saudi Arabia. What is your point?
This is a forum - a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
In fact a victim mentality is devoid of clear evidence. Is it evident that the issues that the OP highlighted exists? It would be highly disingenuous to argue against that.
If certain things do not appeal to anyone's sensibilities, a click is not far away.

This is a womens thread discussing women's issues. should we should shut up because you don't think its a problem.?
No one is playing victim in this thread. The things that OP listed, are they false?
So because women outlive men, we don't have issues? All other issues should be trivialized?
Its like telling someone with a broken leg to stop crying because someone else has two broken legs.

Yes, I am imperfect. I can't remember saying the males around me are perfect either, [size=18pt]I learnt to focus on their perfection[/size]. This topic isn't all encompassing, it's centred on a particular ideology some people (mostly males) believe in. "It's only on NL I see them in QUANTUM" _ meaning, they are everywhere...but somehow, majority are here.


It won't be far fetched to call them aliens. When a being behaves/reasons in a way that's strange to normal human beings_ it's safe to call that person an alien.
Please, be reminded that there are males I respect on this forum, they don't fall into this category.

I don't get the reason why threads like this have to be opened every week. The issues may exist but several other issues also exist and people don't come here to complain. Everybody is discriminated against in Nigeria: Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Christian, Muslim, men, women, children. Everybody complains.

So when men get told "be a man' or "man up" when they display any form of emotion, do they come here and complain? A man loses a loved one or is going through tough times and all you hear is "be a man and stop worrying". Some would even come here and define a "real man" like there are fake ones. Do men come here and complain?

A little boy is doing poorly in school and all you hear people tell him "you want your wife to feed you in future", abi you never hear that one before? I will ask you to tell me 2 families you know personally where the female children were not sent to school while the male ones are. Tell me the ones you know personally. Yet you all will come here and say "the average Nigerian family will not send the girls to school so that she can marry". Are you now from a special Nigerian family? In this same Nigeria where alot of women now earn more than men sef!

I don't even take then seriously because they talk with both sides of the mouth. Tomorrow now, in this same family section, the same people will come out and post that Nigerian men are all lazy, they don't go to work, it's their wives that work 8am - 8pm, bring in the money, feed the family, while the men do nothing. Just wait till Sunday latest, they will change their tone to "Nigerian women all work in Banks, Telecoms etc doing very stressful jobs, while their husbands just stay at home and do nothing. But today, they claim the society demands that a woman does not work. Like seriously, someone can say that Nigeria's society of today demands that a woman does not work?

Or someone can type that Nigerian women don't buy expensive things? Nigerian women are the most fashionable and sophisticated in Africa at least. Just check out their phones, designer bags, hair and make up. No other African country can boast of the way our girls shop. Nails, eye shadow, pancake, push up bra etc? Just travel to anywhere else in Africa and you will see how different their women look.

Last time I checked the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, there is no legal clause to shut down views based on other groups facing discrimination. Highlighting females issues does not make the other forms of discrimination higher or lower. Besides whenever you see threads like this, there is the option of staying out of it.
Unless Seun has changed the rules on what should be posted on NL - this is a forum and a forum is a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

People who do not complain against discrimination and societal prejudices are obviously content with their position in life. Now the problem comes in when people who choose not to 'complain' about their plight, think it is ok to push such ideology on people who choose to dialogue about their issues. The bandwidth of nairaland is large enough to discuss whatever issues. You can highlight these issues and speak about them since you care so much. But unfortunately this is a thread for female issues, and discussed it shall to the pleasure, benefit and utmost satisfaction to all those who are interested in it.

You said your mum told you not to buy expensive things. Bloody well go ahead and buy it if you can afford it.

You said your mum told you never to get a job. Na hunger go clear ya eye, I pity you.

You said your mum told you never to talk back at your husband. You can slap him for all I care. He's your husband not mine.

This piece should interest you coming from a man


Some times, being a woman in Nigeria is quite a
task. You are subjected to absurd societal
norms, by men…. and other women. Many times,
men, even those that ‘love and care about’ their
women can’t see these absurdities as what they
are. Onuora Ikechukwu Onianwa see these
absurdities, and he has written a Facebook note
about them. His note his getting plenty likes
from women, and some men.

Onuora Ikechukwu Onianwa’s note :

I want to make a general, sweeping statement. I
know it will sound unfair and rude, and I’m sorry.
I truly mean no insult. It is just me expressing
my view on a long list of issues.

So, here we go…

Sometimes I am grateful to God I am not a
woman...

* I can’t have an education or it will make me lord
it over my man, and tempt me to be the head of
the home.

* I can’t have a job because I will become proud
and un-submissive.

* I can’t have a job that pays more than my
husband’s because it is an insult to his manhood
and he will be emasculated. One day I will even
use it to rubbish him outside.

* I can’t be single at 25, and unmarried at 30, or
without a single child at 35. It means I am
cursed, have a spirit husband or have a bad
character and no man wants to be with me.

* Any achievement of mine is a waste and useless
if I have no boyfriend or husband, and it will only
make me more arrogant and unattractive to
men.

* Heaven forbid I own a car or a house for the
same aforementioned reasons. The only place I
can live till I marry, is my parent’s home.

* Only loose women stay in hotels. If my job
requires I travel, I must stay with older people,
friends or an elderly couple who can talk to me
about this my job that won’t allow me settle in
one place and marry.

* Expensive things are not allowed. I can’t marry
quick with them.

* I can’t speak about anything under the sun
without a ring on my finger and babies who have
suckled my breasts.

* If my boyfriend/husband cheats on me, I must
endure it and manage. All men are the same.
There are no good ones around any more.

* Whatever my husband says (even common
pangolo boyfriend that doesn’t know his left
from right) I must agree. The moment we got
together, I lost my sense of reasoning and
purpose in life. his word, even if foolish, is law
and I must die to please him and obey.

* How dare I expect my husband to hire a maid or
ask anyone asides me to clean? What did he
marry me for?

* My husband, cook and clean? Am I mad? Is that
not witchcraft?

* Why should he take care of the kids while I
sleep, travel or go out? Is he my mate or my
servant? Am I a fool?

* Oh, so I don’t know I must cook fresh soup
everyday? I must be an idiot.

* So, I don’t know I must wear make-up , heels
and sexy dresses or be naked all day? Do I want
him to go out and cheat?

* The home falls apart because I’m a useless and
stupid woman.

* The marriage ends because I am a useless and
stupid woman.

* My husband cheats on me and beats me
because I am a useless and stupid woman.

* The children grow up horrible because I am a
useless and stupid woman.

* I am a useless and stupid woman…because I am
a useless and stupid woman.


Its bad enough men think this way. To see
women do it too, and fight men like me who
have been carrying women’s rights on our head
like we are the next Malcolm X, Luther or
Madiba, is shocking and sad. Maybe one day
things will get better.
I pray it does, because anyone who says the
aforementioned trash to my baby girl(s) will hear
from me, and they won’t forget me in a hurry.
Sometimes I am grateful to God I am not a
woman. I might have killed someone by now…


PS : Coming from a man, this shocked me walahi

lalasticlala, ishilove.....Please let's hear what the general public thinks.

I respect this man 100% This country is a living hell for a female. Sadly, a lot of women have been brainwashed and they are the ones who mostly carry on these evil attitudes against other women. Recently I read a post on here where a married woman shamelessly insulted another lady calling her frustrated and miserable because she is single and she aired her view on an issue involving a married woman. People will talk and say nonsense, even those in miserable marriages will feel more priviledged than you My dear sisters ignore the stuwpidity of mediocre people, realise that your life is your own and no one else is answerable for what you do with it, but you.

There is nothing new you said here, but just that you need to learn how to argue your thoughts devoid of sentimentally personalizing an issue when asked to give your views. Only fish-brains would resort to emotional outbursts or hang on to age long imaginary tiffs they have with anonymous posters on the net.

Well you now kinda agree there was never a need for the thread and it should never have been open. Hopefully, we wouldn't see a similar thread anytime soon! Ciao fish-brain (whatever it means). You can show the thread to your family members too so that they can learn from it.

Nigerian women cannot handle being a Nigerian man. Fact.

Njokusboy, Crackhaus your comments are 100% true. I was telling a friend that it's harder to live as a man in the world and especially in Nigeria. I don't know if she believed me, but I'm relieved to know others realise this fact. A couple of days ago, I told one of the Philistines in this forum that Nigerian men have it as bad as and even worse than Naija women. The only difference is women being their usual whingey selives and men being their stock stoic selves. Just because someone isn't screaming doesn't mean they aren't going through hell; and just because someone is protesting doesn't mean they should be taken seriously.
The truth is the average Nigerian woman would commit suicide if she were saddled with the life of the average Naija man.

Well you now kinda agree there was never a need for the thread and it should never have been open. Hopefully, we wouldn't see a similar thread anytime soon! Ciao fish-brain (whatever it means). You can show the thread to your family members too so that they can learn from it.

I do not agree there is NOT a need for this thread.
It is very important to highlight issues that bother on discrimination in the society.
Society thrives on dialogue and how we can make it better. Even our so-called primitive foremothers discussed their issues, let alone a modern society.
Next time don't fly into a thread and spread your butt cheeks and fart everywhere creating a sordid stench/nuisance.

You have just recanted all that was said in the first two pages before you went on an emotional, anti NL women rant. Chillisauce had already said this.
There is nothing new you said here, but just that you need to learn how to argue your thoughts devoid of sentimentally personalizing an issue when asked to give your views. Only fish-brains would resort to emotional outbursts or hang on to age long imaginary tiffs they have with anonymous posters on the net.

Timbuktou:
Nigerian women cannot handle being a Nigerian man. Fact.

Njokusboy, Crackhaus your comments are 100% true. I was telling a friend that it's harder to live as a man in the world and especially in Nigeria. I don't know if she believed me, but I'm relieved to know others realise this fact. A couple of days ago, I told one of the Philistines in this forum that Nigerian men have it as bad as and even worse than Naija women. The only difference is women being their usual whingey selives and men being their stock stoic selves. Just because something isn't screaming doesn't mean they aren't going through hell; and just because someone is protesting doesnt mean they should be taken seriously.
The truth is the average Nigerian woman would commit suicide if she were saddled with the life of the average Naija man.

There is nothing wrong in you talking about your issues, it is not whining. If you need to be treated better, speak up and talk about it. Let us not silence the ones who have chosen to speak up. Viva Gender equality!
