It is no longer news that people have been speculating the reasons why the marriage of Funke Akindele and JJC Skillz hit the rocks but I have been seeing different takes from Nigerian men who are sounding the alarm that men should not marry women who are financially stronger or more influential than the men and their vague reason is that women cannot handle success and they were not meant for it because they cannot submit to their husbands etc.

This is a lie from the pit of hell many of these men are intimidated by successful women because they cannot control women with more money. Their worth and entire existence particularly in this part of the world are tied to money. So without money, they are nothing any small thing the woman does is an insult to them even if it is the biggest meat in the pot she took and didn't leave for them.

The thing is many of these men were badly raised and I mean BADLY. They have bad manners, uncouth and disrespectful the cloak that makes many women settle for these men is nothing but money so when they see a woman who has more money they feel that they can no longer control her or force her to accept their terrible behaviour.
They need a doormat for a wife who will suck up their nonsense because they have money to silence her. The moment a woman has money they realise that she will be too stubborn to tame and will never settle for their silly and terrible behaviour. Pathetic isn't it?

The problem is not the women, women can handle success many women today were trained to respect men, but the men of today were not yes some women talk condescendingly to their husbands and that is wrong but then men do it all the time and how many women have complained and cried that women should not marry successful men.

Men need to realise that the times are changing a submissive woman is an illusion, particularly one who has money with her senses intact.
You as men should up your game and stop attaching your worth to money be something else be kind, respectful, caring, loving, talented, visionary, skillful, have good manners, neat, a team player etc these are wonderful qualities that can impress a woman without you using money to do it. Your worth should not be tied to money stop blaming women, men are the problem if your self-esteem was good you will not be competing with your wives and praying for their downfall that they should not be more successful than you.

If what you bring to the table is more than your money you will not cry wolf when your woman has more than you. You should be proud, and confident and be her rock and biggest cheerleader because her success is your success too.
Men do better and hopefully, we raise our boys to be confident in themselves instead of seeing their wives as their competitors whom they should never be happy to see succeed.

You men have a terrible problem. FIX IT everything should not be about money.

Yes, some men are unjustifiably intimidated by richer and more successful women and abhor having them as wives because of their inferiority complex or accumulated misinformation. That, however, does not invalidate the fact that hypocritically crass, haughty, and opportunistic lots among you (which is prevalent among you wannabe feminists and wannabe pro-women) are being abhorred and avoided by self-conquered men not because they feel intimidated by your success (or lack of it), but because they see no need wasting time on damaged products. A damaged woman is not worth being put up with unless one wants to game her.

This post made no sense. grin Try again.

Why do you always, always link two uncorrelated things and think you've presented something logical?

Babe did not even mention feminists or our lack of mans thereof. Yet you had to go on a mudslinging path, while not finding a fault in her post. If you agreed, what was the need for the latter part? We are talking about threat of success here and a sizeable number of men feel it; don't bring that bit of your classical slurs.

It is very clear you're just looking for trouble by finding stones to throw at people.

The good thing about your rashness is that it doesn't emanate from bitterness and misandry but purely due to your love for fairness, even though you do seem lost at some point due to peer pressure. So, your momentary failings are always easily excusable, lol.

They will come tell you how insecure, weak men exist. Yet dedicate paragraphs to the assumptive castigating of women, all day and night. Because women are the cause of every problem in their lives. Women are the reason they can't keep relationships. Women are the reason they are unfaithful. Women are the reason they can't provide for their families. Women are behind it. Women are scheming.

Women! Oppressors of the saintly men! Men, genteel sheeps to the slaughter! Harmless roses!

Once you see the first conciliatory lines, know that the rest of the write up will be the usual blame throwing garbage. I (don't/won't/will never support/tolerate/side with/stand for) (however/but/when/due to/not as if/excuse)... Paragraphs dedicated to what they supposedly don't support. grin Oldest technique.

To be fair, the biggest contribution men bring into any relationship is their organ. Without which their money is insignificant. And that is why they are outraged that women bring theirs along too. Because that is not submissive, to compete organ to organ with them.

So they've added money to the mix, because they tend to have more opportunities to work. That way, they have something women won't have enough of. They fight against women getting that privilege by using the submission line. So that she can never be like them.

Using that submission line, it's a new organ measuring fiesta that they can have more money. If she's submissive, she's going to be like a TV screen that he will control with masochism to never compete with him and cater to his every need while he does nothing. It's what Nigerian men want. If she wants to keep him, she must be submissive (one of the most abused manosphere words). He's never the one to be vested or interested in keeping anything in the relationship. He believes he's some sort of prize, yet wonders why things always go belly up. Money is the prize, but they don't get it.

They believe that they don't need to do anything except have money. One of the most misguided assumptions. A survey of relationships and the reasons they failed will show that men are behind their own agonies in unions most of the time. All they have is money. No character, no love, no compassion, no unity, no selflessness, nothing. Just money (and how to own, control, dominate and subjugate). Money is a disguise for all their failures, refusals and incapability to be better human beings. They hide behind money and cry wolf. They will then heap blames on her, while they are incapable of relationships with anyone but themselves. They would like her to be everything they aren't ever going to be in their relationship.

"I provided everything for her". Yeah, just money. And what is money? Strip them of money and they are nothing.

The funny ones are the types that don't have money, yet suffer from the usual god complex syndrome of being born with a dangly bit between their thighs.

Well, that's rather long . . .

And you mean to tell me that women, hypergamous Naija women now throw mud at wealthy men? How? By talking about empathy? Islie your point is not clear. How do we mudsling wealthy men, talking about empathy and sht?

Also, perhaps it somehow managed to fly over your head, this post is a "reaction" to the men's "reactions" to Mrs. Akindele kicking her husband out of her home - a "reaction" to his infidelity and wastage in their marriage.

The OP unwittingly proved men right for shying away from marital entanglement with richer women by alluding thus; "men need to realise that times are changing a submissive woman is an illusion, particularly one who has money with her senses intact "

Women are by nature rebellious and the only thing that motivates them is greed. Be it what they put in their mouths as food and what they wear as cloths. They're greedy creatures. The earlier men soon found this out and worked harder to win her. For the far greater part of our history and existence, and even to this present day, women in the most part have willingly designated themselves as prize/trophy for the most successful of men. From the most successful hunter, to the bravest warrior, to the richest man, women have for centuries lined up to have a chance to be snapped up by highly successful men. Whether the man is married is a distant irrelevant matter. So who can blame men for prioritising wealth? Only someone like the OP who's basking in self-deceit.

Marrying a richer woman is going too far adrift into tempestuous waters. The truth is, marrying one even with a bigger ambition would surely land you in trouble with her insatiable greed. Humanity wouldn't have sustained itself this far if women had had the money controlled by men. The four corners of the world would have been plaqued by severe depopulation, bringing humanity and civilisation to a screeching halt. A survey rightly points that 4 in 5 women would choose career over giving birth and raising a family.


In yet another self-mocking allusion, the OP made another disgustingly dishonest remark; "you men should up your game and stop attaching your worth to money be something else be kind, respectful, caring, loving, talented, visionary, skillful, have good manners, neat, a team player etc."

Anything other than being rich and power (with his senses intact). In plain words, don't be an alpha male even though you're rich. But according to her, richer women should break free from all chains of submission. The only way women feel secure is when men stoop down to their level. Men are completely forbidden to assert their power and dominance. Its called abusive. But when done by a woman it's given a new name -- emancipation.

Let's take a look at the qualities she highlighted for men to strive for in the paragraph above; the 'hopeless' boy in the church choir, the guy living next street running a makeshift hair saloon, the N-POWER beneficiary, the corper she met during youth service all had those aforementioned qualities but she didn't bring any of them home as suitors. But she'd populate her Facebook and whatsapp status with pictures of a rich and affluent stranger she spent a one night stand with just for show-off.

Truth and women don't see eye to eye hence the make-up/cosmetic business keep thriving.
