I think it is funny that your wife decides if and when you fuck. Decides how your income is spent while refusing to contribute her income to the home. Gives you curfew ortherwise she locks you out and stay mad at you. Decides if you eat at home or not. Decides if you have guests or not, and when they should leave. Decides who you can be friends with and whom you should cut off. Makes all the rules at home otherwise you won't have "peace." Disrespects and violates you at will.
This is what women call partnership. This is what men call "marry first."
They didn’t blame Vitinha
They didn’t blame Joao Neves
They didn’t Blame Bernardo Silva
They didn’t blame Pedro Neto
They didn’t blame Nuno Mendes
Ronaldo can’t hold any blame as well
It’s all on Bruno Fernandes
You're saying that if a man cooks, cleans, and washes plates, marriage success rates will magically jump to 85%.
Let's dance a bit.
How many Nigerian wives know how to fix a generator or install a solar power grid to ensure the family has stable electricity?
If the generator dies at 2AM in pitch black darkness, who goes outside to fix it? Have you ever tried pulling a heavy tiger generator cord that has sworn an oath never to start? Who handles the heavy lifting in the house? Who brings our the generator every evening and returns it after use?
Who investigates strange noises and security alarms in the middle of the night? If thieves come knocking at 3AM, who gets the door?
When street boys start disturbing the area, who confronts them or coordinates with estate security and night guards?
Your car breaks down on the road and the immediate reflex is to call your husband. Who checks the oil? Who troubleshoots the spark plugs? Who monitors the brake fluid?
That stinky, dirty gutter in front of the house, who clears the sludge? Who handles the evacuation of a full soakaway pit or a bursting septic tank?
Who stands under the sun troubleshooting a failed borehole pump and a burnt control box?
You don't notice him executing these tasks because you have completely erased them from the definition of chores.
If a man doing domestic chores is the secret to an 85% success rate, how many women would agree to marry at all if they were suddenly required to take over the infrastructure ledger?
We all work now. If a man can use his salary to outsource his peace, use your own salary to hire a cleaning lady and a chef.
A man does all that to give you a comfortable home and you're whining and about cooking your own food and cleaning. Food that he provided, house that you live rent free.
Now, tell me. Can a Nigeria woman truly see chores as a none gendered role?
Greek mythology always leaves me pondering - it stuns me with the vivid pictures, then allows me to pick lessons.
So is the story of Antaeus. He was born of Poseidon and Gaia. Poseidon ruled over the seas, Gaia was the earth herself - the mother of Uranus.
Long before he was defeated by Heracles, Antaeus was always rumoured to be invincible. Stories recorded that Antaeus would wait at the entrance of Libya and force passersby to wrestle him - he always crushed them, piling their skulls so he could build a temple to his father, Poseidon.
This is where it gets interesting - he was only invincible as long as he maintained contact with Mother Earth. When Heracles eventually crushed him, Heracles did so by suspending him in the air, away from Mother Earth, crushing him in a bear hug.
In reflection, a lot of people have not been truly tested by the realities of the world because they have insulation. Insulation in systems, in parents, in their backgrounds. Just like Antaeus, the illusion of their strength is in contact with Gaia.
On the day Heracles decides to test your resolve, all it takes is for you to fall once, and if there is anything I know, it is the fact that a man who is used to standing and has never fallen will not be able to stand on the day he falls.
An extension of this conversation goes to parents who shield their children entirely from life's realities. You cannot apologise for having leverage in life, especially if your parents paved your way - but it is important to consistently stress-test how much of life you really can handle.
In the absence of the strength that grounds you, how do you survive?
I like women who like me, want to be with me, call me, text me, and take me out. All that nonchalant, broke, wicked, and ‘main character’ aesthetic doesn’t move me.
Just give to woman without looking back , that was how I broke up with one girl one time like that , she was still expecting my wishes on her convocation day telling me I was part of the journey because of the constant support for her during her undergraduate days ,
But I already put her and everything I did for her in the past ,
She thought I was still gonna be looped with her because of the help i offered her when we were dating.
Note guys , don’t sacrifice anything for woman ,just give what you can afford to loose .
I was randomly thinking about this Riquelme guy, and how he said he was gonna sign Haaland if he wins😭
He wanted to use Florentino Perez’ playbook on him😂😂
In year 2000, Perez told the Real Madrid socios to vote for him for president, that if he wins, he’ll sign Luis Figo😂
You know the crazy part? The sitting president had won two champions league in 3 years. In fact, they just won a champions league, he was successful. You wonder how Perez was going to unseat him 😂
Figo was the best player in the world, in fact, he won BDOR later that year, and he was a Barcelona player. Perez had to look for something to say to convince people to vote him and not vote a successful president.
Then he came up with a masterplan, he said if he wins the election, he’ll sign Figo. In fact, he said the best players ought to be playing for Real Madrid and he’ll bring them here, that was the start of the Galacticos era (Zidane, Delima, Beckham, etc joined after Figo…up till Cristiano, Kaka, Mbappe…till date, Perez has kept that word).
Signing Figo was an impossible feat. Figo was a Barcelona player, it’s impossible…and Figo had a release clause of 60m. No player has ever been signed for that amount. Record sale was Christian Vieri for £30 to Inter Milan.
Figo loved Barcelona, he was a god there, how will Perez convince him to sign? No top Barcelona player should move to Real Madrid. If you want to understand better, think of Messi in his prime going to Real Madrid, exactly!!!
First thing Perez did was call Paulo Futre who was a friend to Figo. He told him the plan, Futre then got in touch with Figo’s agent, Jose Veiga.
FP promised them some mad money, he said if they can make the deal happen, Futre will get 1.5m euros and Veiga will get 3m euros, which they eventually both got.
Futre was also the reason Veiga got up to that amount, because he lied to Perez that Veiga wanted more money as agent commission😅, he didn’t only lie to Perez, he lied to Figo’s agent and deceived him to sign a pre-contract.
Veiga couldn’t resist that money, Figo will also be paid x4 of the wages he was earning at Barcelona. Veiga was desperate for Figo to join. Figo did not sign any pre-contract, it was his agent, Veiga…Veiga claimed he got a go ahead from Figo to sign it, but Figo denied it.
This is where it gets crazy, the pre-contract agreement that Veiga signed on behalf of Figo had a clause. Gosh Perez is crazy. Perez included a clause that if he wins the presidency, and Figo doesn’t come to Madrid, Figo/Veiga will pay him 30m euros😂😂😂, and Veiga signed it.
When Veiga told Figo about Madrid’s interest, Figo told him to meet Barcelona’s hierarchy to tell them about the fact that a club (no mention of Real Madrid) was willing to pay off his release clause, but he doesn’t want to leave Barcelona, so they should improve his contract.
Gaspert was Vice President of Barcelona then, and was contesting for presidency too. He called whatever Veiga told him a bluff, no one could pay that release clause, they also just improved Figo’s contract a year before, so he felt Figo was greedy.
Anyways, the media started the rumour, it’s one of the craziest saga in football history. Figo was the biggest player in the world, everywhere went crazy. They would capture Figo’s agent in meetings with Perez, they would monitor Figo everywhere. Real Madrid players like Roberto Carlos and Hierro said they never believed it was going to happen.
Figo felt under-appreciated because the hierarchy weren’t taking him seriously, but he still didn’t want to leave.
Perez had now won the election. Figo said he’s not leaving Barcelona. Perez then asked Veiga to pay the 30m😂
Veiga almost ran mad, where would he get that money? Figo didn’t care, he wasn’t the one that signed the pre-contract. Veiga had to beg Figo to please go to Madrid, or if he wasn’t gonna go, can he just have a meeting with Perez to just talk things out.
Figo decided to meet with Perez, who convinced👇🏽
