Are there more broken homes now than ever?



  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie Why are there more broken homes now than ever? It isn't about women becoming free but as a result of what they had seen their parents go through.
    You can bet not a dull moment.

     Just a thought, if everyone is on a defence who will be in attack? i am a wing left shooter i get bumps from defensive drivers :)

     I learnt from hard knocks, i realised i was told as a kid to be nice to everyone, and then i understood i needed to adopt better negotiation skills. Say yes only when i want to and when it brings some objective benefit to a maximum.

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie  because it was an artificial created environment. ie built on rules of falsehood. if the 2 had parenting counselling before they go in, both will develop a bond through their responsibilities. when you make it about man and wife, then you will have a hassle bound environment. broken homes always existed, when you see a woman and a man having nothing mutual they do but sleep in one bed butts facing each other, that marriage is broken. just cos a woman stays in the same house as you don't mean she doesn't wish she was somewhere else, a man who is having affairs outside like everyday, would not come home for days and no explanation, having 3 concubines he sponsors is a guy who has no home. a man that finds out that 3 out of the 5 kids he has is not his was a broken home, our african society has done so much to justify having numerous women that we are deluded. a boy who grows up in a home where he knows his dad, means the dad is always present. mums cant bring up men. a man knows himself when he knows his dad, and endurance on the part of the woman wouldn't make a man be present in his home if he runs away from parenthood. marriage don't scare men, its parenthood. they don't know how cos they never saw their dads do anything, the picture in their mind is that of mother was there so wife must be there. and remember guys this isn't to make you feel guilty every time u cheer up a guy for having some fine chick when his wife is at home with the kids, you are doing no service to the child that hasn't seen his dad to say good night to or play a soccer game with. we women are not pained actually about ourselves we keep ourselves busy, if men and women will be honest on this thread, what are the main issues that arise when in quarrel Money? our women are making more money this days, its the total absence from the kids life. me and my bro would be nothing if dad wasn't in our lives.

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie Chris women have been and are more violated in societies that cage them. women are not tools! and i am not saying this because i am a woman but because the only thing that differentiates a man from a woman are the reproductive "sex" organs. i am not a feminist, but i will never be a rug. if the man dosnt know his manners you take it out from him, and if need be by cleaver force. a home where someone feels violated is not a home, its a farce that breeds sociopaths.

  • Chris Odua Alsu, your point is well taken, any relationship deserves a mutual respect, no sex barred; afterall, it takes two to tangle. My grudge with Lola Topia really is that she deminishes the value of marriage if what she can see in it is the material aspect only, as if the enpowerment of women heralds the dearth of marriage. I feel that an empowered woman is a plus to the home, her resources is for her prosper her home and not to be used as an arsenal to war against her home. I dont know the marital status of Lola, but I must remind her that single motherhood is not easy, a woman needs the authority of the father to raise up well bred children.

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie i understand your position. but i must say single mothers my have financial difficulties, but when you look at their kids they dont blame her for that, they blame her if she takes out her frustrations on them. i find it more easier to cope with it than when i was married. men even if they have billions in their account never find happiness if they are unable to grab that last penny that the Neighbour had taken. men bring into the home what they cant deal with outside. and take away from the inside to the outside. i have seen it i have unfortunately lived it. Chris if single motherhood was hard for women we will seek to remarry again, most women cant deal with the man not the function of partnership, women are partnership creature, men want to do things themselves. life is easier to bear when you have a healthy attitude to life, i have met very miserable rich men that have no wealth in their heart, and have been happy with those who had little in their pockets but a big heart that plans with and talks to me.

  • Lola Omolola Mr. Chris Odua, Your rush to label me restricts you from seeing that: I clearly am referring to People in MISERABLE alliances which i will repeat does NOTHING for the enhancement of the home-life & since we know that most 'broken homes' are results of unhealthy and non-mutually beneficial relationships, then QUITing them, growing from that and seeking brighter, more fulfilling options is NOT a negative. Oh, and by the way, I am married to the love of my life and man of my dreams who YES, has worked 'with me' to create a strong, mutually-exciting life for 17 years. Just being 'Married' should NEVER be the yardstick by which a SOUND HOME should be judged, being married HAPPILY should be. Kapish?

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie rather than focusing on helping people come back together or be able to live with it, the society is putting further pressure on the broken families as a crime. this is a great threat to men cos without a woman a man is lost. but we arnt mothers to them, and they arnt our fathers. personally i get tired of people who in the bid to want to look righteous use big words to cover up their own unhapiness rather than just accept that sometimes you miss the boat but another ship is coming. divorce for me is accepting that you made a mistake and that isnt a crime. if there are those who are afraid tho see someone free being happy and their spouse may be lured by it, then they should situp and make good. many who are married are so miserable they actually envy those who have been freed. the singles are also fearful and passing judgements instead of asking questions why it went wrong. kids are laughed at by their peers cos they hear the judgement their parents have passed to their hearing.

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie the thing is in our african society women are coerced into marriage by their parents as a method of getting rid of them and having someone else to pul strings financially or emotionally. when most get in in the first 10years they are questioning who they are, why they with the person they with cos the picture painted is wrong. guys are scared now cos they see that desperation in their actions, marriage is just an event not the end of life. when you see it this way you are likely to be careful at saying i love you to any and where ever. if i knew better and i dont regret i will never have kids, but we again live in the society that says what the hell are u barren? we dont have to scrap marriage we have to redefine the parameters so the kids dont go into it for the wrong reasons. when as an adult you dont know yourself you dont know the person and clearly subjected to the belief you as a woman shouldn't assess the person then you heading for even worse of damage. if the puzle dont fit, dont force it.

  • Lola Omolola Applause!!! Alsu. It takes a special kind of woman to vacate a sinking ship. It takes GUTS to choose your own definition of Happiness. Our society is full of people who by their own choice or not, are living in tortured silence while they wallow in Misery & cover-up their pain by Insulting those who revolt against the injustices they themselves face in secret. I am ONLY married because I LOVE being married to the man I chose. Its a sad day when people forget that each human's right to comfort is the 'greatest love of all'. [Fact] Children thrive in a loving environment - and miserable mothers have a hard time raising confident children. Let's address those issues instead of finding YET another reason to blame women for the downfall of a family life that was a disaster to begin with Mr. Chris Odua

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie there is an epidemic and has always been with the men folk we never used to see it in the african seting cos there were always extended families around. yes we women have become intolerable and intolerant but a woman has long patience until she turns the table. who is anyone fooling when half the men in our society are fathering kids they dont know. when a wife has her own room separated by a long corridor, and our societies promiscuity??? comon guys we not blind, things have got to change, better stay single for life. i have 3 daughters and what they saw me through i dont have to tell them the story for them to be weary. as much as every man is different, subjugation isnt a coverup for I DONT CARE. the american women have found an alternative, the other day i was talking to a friend who voiced out a protest against women having IVF well if men are finding replacement through prostitutes and affairs then whats there for a babe to do?

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie Chris darling thats not true. if it was by choice many wouldn't up out so easy. when for a long period of your life you are told that thats where you should be heading, it almost is like brainwashing. how many couples for real ask each other questions? half the time they are so scared of driving the person away that they leave out those important questions that has to do with their interests, values and ambitions, in the process this is what they they are now exploring through arguments rather than acting it. maybe this is why you dont understand why there is this much talk about it. when women start dating they ask questions while the guy just wants to get in-between after a series of guys run they plain just keep quiet. i have also noticed that most of the time it is the parents that are now asking their kids questions that both should have been asking each other. in the process while being asked they both realise they dont know anything, parents jump int conclusions of their own and render their relationship useless.

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie the enemy isnt the two people its the fact that none of them know themselves and each other. it may sound sily to you and some that individuals dont know themselves, you would ask what were they doing with each other for maybe 2 years. 

    i made exactly     the same decision as you said, whats there marry and work things as you go. he had a different side to it. he wanted i still dont understand what. when you say its either you marry or not and a kid hear this he/she is already pushed to make a decision that they dont understand. kids are not told that people are circumstance based, today if the sun shines they happy, if it dont they sad. circumstances influence us a lot. 

    i for one have developed a personality and a character that is the same all the time, and if i am affected by something i bounce back as soon as i realise. if you ask my parents they will confirm that alsu knew who she was since she was 2. but most peole are moody they like to develop a habit of staying in one thing for long until something kicks them out of it. we like to be shoved around, commanded, pushed, made decisions for. 

    its a habit that develops while growing with parents. how many proactive people have you met expecialy in Nigeria. were its visible that even the governments nonsense dosnt move us one bit. i knew me, where i was going, what i wanted to do but i didnt know him and he didnt know me, that i am not a dosile person, that as soon as something happens i pick up, and that i dont wait for trouble to trouble me, i trouble trouble so it leaves me, and if i do find myself in a situation i do not surrender, he knew from start that i have ambitions to grow and soare high, so when i was proactive about my life and business it evoked fear cos it questioned the assumtions he made CAN SHE BE THIS REAL AND SERIOUS?, althoe he didnt meet me and marry me from my fathers home, judgements were thrown left right and centre and exposed who was who to whom and everyone. 

    i assumed alot and i fel short of my expectations of him and i of me. i didnt realise i have a short tolerance to unasertive people about their life, career, and a love for people. i realised we totaly different, i like to guide and care, he wanted to be seclusive and live in a box, while i wanted out of the box and couldnt understand why the friendship he thrived and made him not feel trapped, i couldnt get it in return. i am a piece of work for many, some hate it, some marvel, some get confused, but i cant be everything to everyone. i make hard decisions, i stick to what i say, if its pink its pink and come what may, i didnt realise that for a wife to have a personality it is a taboo and hard is not what men want or can live with. i judged life based on my parents outlook to life, and marriage based on my parents marriage, my dad never stopped my mum from growing and he brought me up to be totally independent as i could be. but i wasnt aware that men arnt like my father. isnt marriage supposed to be about being with a person and complementing? i realised marriage isnt about that, i realised in my experience that marriage is about self acceptance on both parties, where they dont get personal about their differences cos thy know each other so well and know there is nothing personal, and if one cant do the other either dosnt disturb or substitutes. he wanted a housewife, but god sent him someone who isnt. he liked my spirit but couldnt handle it. God broke the mold the day he made me and i could be one in a billion, but for sake of life and the unpredictability of it it pays no one to be breaking no one. if you want a housewife tell your mum to scout for her friends daughter. if you want an active woman go look she is husling on the streets. i had made the call cos i realised i was wrong for him and we will forever be miserable. i thought that me being open and straight about who i am as i always am was what he was looking for i thought that that was what they call TRUST, i didnt realise with trust comes FEAR. smile emoticon

To all the men that have held on tight to the rights despite "women rights" gaining more ground around the world, keep up the good job. As we are mostly africans in this forum, fact remains that tradition dictates a man to be the captain. Simple. The "complimenting" each other has being mis-allinged in some many cases I am aware of, one wonders wat gwan with such.

  • George Bayo Banjo Eniosu Osayimwen, what is your problem. Get an education, a ship, aircraft can have only one captain, thats the only way it can be run period, whether the captain is a man or woman, it can only have one captain. Are you an advocate for anachy are you trying to corrupt us like everything else in Nigeria. Is there any woman in this group that doesn't want a strong man she can look up to, respect, trust. love etc. The fact that in Yoruba culture MAMA is usually in control of everything (even over what PAPA does) does not mean PAPA is not the captain and should not be seen to be. the problem is that western culture is poisoning the minds of women to make them think they are equal. they can never be equal, we are DIFFERENT, some things men are better at some things women are. The day these witches advocate that men and women should compete in the same events together in the Olympics then we know they are geniue and not trouble makers which they are.

  • George Bayo Banjo alsu when you make a mistake accept it and apologise. Both your comments are straying off point. we are not talking about men. And sadly enough the word wizard usually applies do men and not always in a negative way. Stay on point. Or are you one of those who go around preaching equality, if so look down between your legs and you will notice you don't have something men have. we are DIFFERENT and therefore cannot be equal. having equal rights, or equal portions of meat in a meal does make two people equal.

  • George Bayo Banjo Back to point, the main reason for broken homes on the rise, is mainly on western culture. If you notice in the christain area's of Nigeria that have the least broken homes are the Igbo's because in there culture, before a man can marry he must prove he can support a woman, which is the bed rock of a successful marriage. the west brought a system called the registry, which technically a couple can go to get married and pull a witness off the street to effect it. without any involvement of relatives who would view the whole thing objectively (the couple are usually madly in Love. Science has shown that euforic state/feeling of love lasts usually 3 years) while the couple might not. the yoruba's focus is mainly on producing children (called grandparents sickness), and marriages where held together by a strong sense of duty, family values and the sake of the children. The west now plays down extended family and there influence, and it is rubbing off here.

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie George i dont compete with men, if a man is threatened by my strengths then he shows he is weak. if men are chauvinistic about then it will bring out the feminist, if you have problems with women being strong then thats your beef, my dad didnt bring me up to be weak, neither did he make my ma bend by his whims, even as they are separated they both have respect in front of their kids for each other, if a man feels his D is too small in comparison to other men then it is not on women he should be taking it out on, thats blame pushing, if at some point a woman is bringing the buck home and he did something to make her climb the ladder then he should accept her success as his own, if a man feels bad that he isnt performing it is not the woman who is the witch he should rase his hame. women give respect to men who support them, when u see a man whose wife diss him cos she brings the bread know that he did nothing to help her up. women dont develop attitude's for no reason, i know a man who told his wife in front of me when they came to me for counselling that she would take what ever attitude he gives her cos as he put it "beggars cant be choosers". i couldn't believe my ears, he eventually came out to say his father told him his mother left cos he had no money. if you see something happening in a young family know that the root cause comes from the family background. cos it is easy to transfer aggression but not face your fears. tell me what do you want me to apologise for? the status reads "Why are there more broken homes now than ever?" i dont see how this is gender specific, if it is i would. in a feminist manner i can tell you easy that no man is a law or a ruler to no woman, if the rules of engagement in a marriage are violated then here you have it a broken home, you realy think we women have issues with men cheating? let me burst your bubble it is the HIV, STDs that we dont need cos men are woful at hygiene, as well as most a lousy at love making, we are no tools for pacifying no mans libido, if you cant rase your crane by yourself as easy as what made you approach a woman who was oblivious of your existence until u said i love you then sorry we aint built for that, we women can easily put you guys where you belong and very efficiently without you guys even knowing you were, just cos we play daft dont mean we daft, you men are clearly begging for it thats the revolt you see today where women are ding IVF to replace you. you have a problem with feminists you BAYO have the knack for creating that environment.

  • George Bayo Banjo Lets us see what the feminists (witches under cover) have/are doing. first lets look at what usually obtains in most old cultures, let us take the Yoruba one. the yoruba woman has already achieved equal status were it matters (inheritance, this was done 400 years ago), but now she was/is sophisticated enough to realise, that she can maneuver and outwit her husband by playing to his Ego and vanity. It is a common sight in yoruba land to see the man beating his chest shouting to high heaven that he is the head of the family, his word is Law etc etc, MAMA apologetically see's off the disappointed guests, and tells them to come back in a few days, she will talk to her husband. The guests come back and low and behold the man is singing a different tune, and even claiming it is his brilliant idea. MAMA smiles quietly in the background, pray tell who has control, this is the way women should approach their problems with the devices and skills God gave them, not by trying to be "equal" what ever that means. MAMA in yoruba land controls everything if you look closely, she decides who her Son marries, sometimes swinging an election for her son (Tinudu). The most powerful women in history used their talents, and did not argue equality.

  • George Bayo Banjo Now back to the witches. they are slowly destroying the institution of marriage, leading to damaged children and a whole distortion on society. perhaps the real example of their stupidty, short sightness and link with evil, is to insist that women should join men in combat in war time. as of now even in the most brutal of wars the women and children are spared and men (potential combatants) are killed. Once men see women as potential combatants they will be killed also. Should we stop " women and children first to the life boats" on a sinking ship, the examples can go on and on.

  • Alsu Ekinadose Odemwingie Then what u mean is that people need no leader! They will be ruled by what they choose! Me I lead by example, cos that is my fate I can live with! I will not settle for less no matter how it glitters!

    When you look at our society that kills values why     would they be of any value?! Every man wants a woman to love him regardless of what he has or dosnt for who he is but what hasn't been clarified is that it realy dosnt matter what she loves him for, but what he values in himself for and a woman is just another symbol of his status! So let's not make it about it being the womans fault, but he chose his fate! He carries his own cross! And we women will stand by our kids to give them something of value even if it is cut in half we at least haven't let them down!

    It is quite obvious and have been for ever that every man no matter how he has treated his wife still loves his mother cos she stood by him! I am yet to find a man who stands by his wife against his mothers wishes, she knows how to pull the strings and we daft wives don't know how to be with our men as we are with our fathers!

    My father will take all my shit cos he loves me as his own! A man will never see his wife as his own and treat her with the loyalty he gives his mother! Let's not beat around the bush! And state facts and draw our own truths through the experiences we have all been through! And stop deceiving the society who need leaders and not deceitful mouths! Your child and children will be affected by it, they will marry into families that imbibe the values you propose! If u havnt stated yours bayo then you lie and you can't have me respect that!

    Eni everyday u and I chat and u tell me how much u love ur woman, and I see how bonded u are with ur kids, so stop the bulshit and tell it as it is! Just cos u on facebook don't mean you not amidst family!
