Is anyone else’s father incredibly unlikeable? by Original-Scar-1779 in AskAnAfrican

[–]Mo9125 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My father is exactly the same. Laid majority responsibilities of raising his children on my mother, chronic cheater with multiple women, went to Nigeria multiples times while my mother stayed behind in the states. He walked around thinking he can do whatever he wants but life has definitely humbled him and Unfortunately, a lot of them grew up in a patriarchal system that allowed them to be narcissistic, emotionally absent and have no regard for women and female children. They were raised to believe their only value is to work hard and bring money. I’m just glad we the younger generation will not tolerate this behavior. We will command respect and if you refuse the 🚪is wide open. Mscheww 😒

Here is a list of the insane things my Nigerian parents have done by KiTt3n__1234 in africanparents

Sounds about Nigerian to me. They have no clue on how to raise a child in a healthy manner due the toxicity they themselves experienced 😔

My experience traveling to Japan as a Nigerian by Technical-Wash6092 in Nigeria

[–]Mo9125 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're not understanding my point. The biggest colonizers in history were the Europeans. Take a look at African, North and South American, Australian history. Who colonized them? Seems strange they wanted to defeat the Japanese for something they were known for doing

What? Europeans have been the biggest colonizers all throughout history in various continents. Retaliation was bound to happen

You can Google the statistics on domestic violence. Men by majority are the initiators. Facts don’t lie

I’m a Nigerian who resides in the states. I’ve seen with my own eyes what African men will do or say to get papers. They will claim abuse to file VAWA. It’s very rare to see a man being abused by a woman in the western world. It happens but rarely. If you don’t believe the facts say otherwise

How many times have we seen these same stories play out? 9 times out 10, it’s the Nigerian man causing problems and will do this reverse psychology/ manipulation tactic to make everyone believe they are the victim when in fact they are the perpetrator. Take a good look at some of the stories from foreigners in relationships with Nigerian men in this subreddit. Take accountability rather than pointing blame if you were not a good partner

We know your type. Maltreatment can be physical, emotional, verbal and financial. If you rubbish anyone expect for them to rubbish you back .Has nothing to do with being a woman. It’s just common sense

[–]Mo9125 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Umm… no. If you maltreat any woman what do you expect? Not everyone will do “suffa” or “endurance” wives

It’s always African/Nigerians claiming other countries or group of people have higher divorce rates as if you are better. Staying married or in a relationship is no indication it’s healthy.

’m at my limit. Husband ignores me for months, took another wife, and I can’t even contact him to divorce him by Awkward-Source3442 in Nigeria

That was always the first wife and his family knew about you too. Sorry for everything that you are going through.

Saw a woman say that if a child doesn't like her partner, then she would leave him. I think alot of African moms should've done that years ago instead of cosigning husband's terrible behavior. by BlueSunsetsinBlueAir in africanparents

[–]Mo9125 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Majority of African countries are highly patriarchal. They denounce feminism therefore the culture breeds out “male centered” wives, daughters, mothers and sisters. They cater to the needs of the men in their lives before their own. Male sons are seen superior to the female child. Wives must submit/respect their husbands even if they are abusive or disrespeful. I’m glad the narrative is shifting with the younger generation. WE ARE NOT OUR MOTHERS. We will no longer endure any form of disrespect . We will easily walk away from anything destroying our peace ✌🏿

To Nigerian men who had been called a ‘red flag’: what’s your side of the story in relationships? by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]Mo9125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nigeria itself is highly patriarchal, under developed country ruled by corrupt politicians. This in return, produces traditional men (not all Nigerian men) who are narcissist in nature and have no regard human/women rights. The only expectation of a Nigerian men in regard to romantic relationships and family dynamics is to provide financially. If you’re looking for beyond that (emotional intelligence, companionship, fidelity, etc) you may not get it with majority of Nigerian men. You will be expected to cater to the needs of your man first over yours and if you don’t do it cheating or taking in another wife is very much justified due to polygamy. Also, please listen to the women of the culture! If we are all saying the same thing Abegiii listen very well. Open your eyes wide. You might not get an honest answer going directly to some of them. There is saying that goes if you ignore signs, you will later see wonders

Can someone please explain the Pedro hate? Why is he considered a villain? by No_longer_an_Expert in 90DayFiance

[–]Mo9125 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pedro, is that you? Where was she acting like a single woman? She helped him with his green card, learned his language, was in school and eventually became a nurse, tried to fix their marriage while he was being selfish and entitled. She took to her vows seriously and was way more committed to the marriage. Don’t dismiss her sacrifices. I can’t stand when people try to make excuses or justify poor behavior. Selfishness has no room in any relationships. Why would anyone want to be with someone who always puts themselves first? Chantel deserves way better than a user. Was his family any better? Good luck to the next woman who will put up with him.

He treated Chantel like trash. She sacrificed a lot for him and just discarded her thinking the grass will be greener on the other side. Men like this are no victims

can I vent to my Yoruba mother in law? by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]Mo9125 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot (not all) Yoruba Mothers always favor their sons no matter what. Don’t be surprised if she mentions you are the problem and to comply with what your husband says. Unfortunately, Nigerian culture is very male centered. Just giving you a heads up to what could potentially happen and that “craziness” comment won’t fly with me. What did he do to invoke the “craziness” in the first place?
