Many will never understand the psychology of a Nigerian woman

[OurFaveOnlineDoc 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 @OurFavOnlineDoc]

9am: “Marriage is slavery for women”

10am: “I have told my boyfriend if you don’t marry me this year, you are a time waster”

11am: “You don’t need to have money to marry a woman. As long as you are working, any amount a man makes is ok”

12noon: “If you don’t make enough money to take good care of a woman, why exactly do you want to marry?”

1pm: “I am willing to support a man as a woman but it is his job to provide”

2pm: “Money is not everything to women; what matters is seeing that our man is doing something.”

3pm:, “But my money is my money and his money is our money”

4pm: “We have a heart of gold and we don’t care about money at all”.

5pm: “However I will not do 50/50 or 70/30 with any man. I can only support with whatever I have. I cannot promise any percentage to a man from my salary”

Caught myself in the middle of telling my mom a story that would imply that I am often around my boyfriend in varying degrees of nakedness, and I had to segue very quickly. I am 32 years old.

How do you handle turning twenty-four, and suddenly becoming a woman in the eyes of the world, and losing young-girl status, before you are ready for it?

[The Stumbling Fawn @stumbling_fawn]

How was it that a twenty-three year old was a baby, but a twenty-four year old was a full-fledged adult no longer worthy of watching?

How do you survive in Lagos Food Markets If Your Parents Never Trained You For Self-Reliance?

No matter how persuasive or honest any trader sounds when they defend their price or refuse to accept less, they're not telling the truth. The item is really worth considerably less than what they say.
