I come here to read women's comments but unfortunately there is no woman in the house

Yes, it's true, we need to hear from the female folks, so we can see how they define feminism and what we ought to know, so we don't get flawed interpretations

The ladies that commented on this thread, 90 % of them are very stupid and delusional especially that yonce girl. You're just talking like an overgrown baby. For you to say such rubbish about feminism and chores .like WTF? is that how we decide leadership. Is that what we'll bring equality. Then you opened your nonsense mouth to talk about bride price and bills etc that women can do this if the man is worthy enough? The hell? I just blame NL it has given a platform for îdiots. But the worst of all in this thread are the pussy ass and unintelligent men agreeing with the rubbish women are saying to gain your favour. Men these days are fûcked up people. This thread was meant to be intellectual but due to the daft women and men here it has turned to an argument about fûcking house chores. Shallow ïdiots undecided

. 90% of the marriages re run by men.Tell urself the truth

That's not true.

Even people on here will testify how their mother's moved heaven on earth to raise them and give them an education.
They will let you know how the mothers did everything to feed them. Where are their fathers then?
Most women that do things in the home do it codedly to protect their husband's egos, so that outsiders like you will have no inkling on what's going on.
Many women have bought cars that their husbands are riding about. Have practically built houses that the man is forming Lord of the manor about in.
Please, that's the common scenario we see these days. Women don't mind doing anything to feed their families, no matter how messy the jobs are.

No. Ask me why

Feminism is all about gender equality; equality in everything not in some things.

But in Nigeria, Nigerian ladies become feminist when they want it to favor them, but when they know that it won't favor them, they forget feminism. How?

For instance, in marriages, Nigerian men pay their fiance's dowries....during dating, Nigerian women expect Nigerian men to take at least 90% financial responsibility of the relationship.

Every Nigerian lady, even the one from rich family and those working and earning big income still innately expect their man to take care of all their financial needs. Nigerian lady can hardly give her man money that's useful or buy him tangible gift, but she expects her boyfriend or fiance' or hubby to buy her a car, a house, take care of her parents, siblings, school expenditures, etc.

But if she has money she don't want to spend on her man and if she ever spends at all, she complains and disregards the man.

Imagine in Nigeria, parents were encouraged to send their girl child's to school for a better tomorrow and better Nigeria and over the last 2 decades we have seen a boom in Nigerian women professionals doing so well in their various career fields, trade, business and handwork but then, this has not had any meaningful impact on Nigeria's economy welfare and family happiness.

A Nigerian lady working and earning big money will remain single waiting for a richer guy to spend more money on her while she gets old and refuses to use her money raise any guy....we have lots of financially buoyant single ladies in Nigeria single because they want to marry Otedola, Dangote, Okorocha, Donald Duke....but imagine if the good jobs Nigerian ladies got via feminism and girl-child education campaign in Nigeria were in the hands of Nigerian guys, believe me, u will never find any single Nigerian lady cos Nigerian guys would have married them all even if they are poor and wretched.

And the guys will also help uplift these ladies families too....but Nigerian ladies only want feminism when it favors them, so how is feminism helpful to Nigeria

Feminism has brought delayed marriage in Nigeria, marital crises, chaos and relationship troubles and confusion....Nigeria is not ripe enough for feminism.‎

PDPGuy:
Feminism can never really take root in Nigeria until the bride-price tradition is abolished.

There is no way a man would pay bride-price for his wife, and expect to only be a co-equal partner in the marriage even if she works a full time job.

So, a Nigerian man will always lay claim to being the natural head of house if he is married to a Naija woman.

That's why most Nigerian men who are married to European/American women fully accept the notion that they are co-equal partners in the marriage because there was no bride-price involved, and the women equally foot half the bills for running the home. It's also highly likely that the woman paid for the dates on some occasions, unlike in Nigeria where the man is expected to foot 99.9% of the bills on dates.

You have a point

Diamond bank business account opening:form:
"Which gender owns and controls 51% or more stake in the company?"

Very unprofessional question on an account opening form and quite sexist. What does this matter?

They should keep the feminist initiatives out of core business operations.
