Just my 2kobo: Women, the new men?

BY EHINOME
While growing up, I had the orientation that a man is the head of the house, and I mean in all ramifications. A man provides for his family, this entails food,shelter,general welfare and most importantly love. No matter how a woman might be successful at work or whether she is an heiress, she humbles herself before her husband and wouldn't disrepect him for it.

Fastforward»»»21st century, 2012 to be precise.

The reverse is the case. Women have assumed the position of men. Women now take care of the family, provide food,shelter and all. Some even give their hubbys pocket money o! Shout all you want but truth is bitter.
Well, we know circumstances and situations come up where a man who was once capable of doing his duties, becomes incapable due to unforeseen circumstances, and such a man is trying to get on his feet, so his wife is helping him out. That's not what am talking about. Am talking about stark lazy men..

Yes! One contributing factor to Nigeria's decaying syndrome is the fact that she is breeding so many lazy,focusless men.

Many women would say I never knew he would be like this. Stop there! I say no! you knew! Yes!
You knew when you two were dating and he was content with talking about his dreams and never achieved any even when you pushed him to. You knew when he wouldn't go the extra mile to be useful as a man should, maybe his job is even one you pushed him to apply for. You knew when he would rather use your car or share your flat or borrow money he never paid back. You knew when you got him more gifts more than he did for you and he didn't see that as a challenge to do same. You knew when you saw he used the flashiest things but never saved for his rent. You knew when you saw that his all and all is his job, he doesn't talk of expanding or moving forward or anything like that...should I go on?

All because we see celebrities showing off wealth on tv or we read about huge sums of money in the papers, the craze for instant wealth is the new rave.

Please ladies don't let these men happen to you. Women are strong, we are beautiful. Our place is to help the menfolk. Let's stop babying them. We are Africans, thank GOD atleast 80% of relationships today were instituted because the men asked. So they should brace-up, man-up and do their best to nurture and add value to the women they run after.
Ladies If at some point in your relationship you see yourself doing all the loving, the caring ,the providing..WATCH IT! A lazy man is about to happen to you, that's how it starts.

Building Nigeria takes good men and women who are Nigerians. And good men and women always know their place in the society. The society starts from the family, continues in our places of work, our relationships and so on. Let's build Nigeria. Let's take our places.
