5 Things Nigerian Women Do That Really Annoy Nigerian Men…. Do you Agree?

 

Nigerian women too dey form. Yes, there are certain things men do that really bother women, but ladies, here’s what you people do that really annoys us:

• 1. When you tell us what qualities you like in a man, but the men you date are entirely different than what you claim you want.

This is frustrating. Any woman will tell you what they want in a man. However, their response is usually bullshit. Instead, they tell you what is socially acceptable to want. So many women get involved with men who make them unhappy for various and obvious reasons. 
For example, many women date men who

FIRE FOR FIRE: We will bring down Nigeria if Boko Haram kills any Igbo person – MASSOB

 

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has threatened to retaliate attacks targeted at Ibo citizens. MASSOB reacting to the bomb scare at Winners Chapel, in Imo state, stated that there will be mayhem if any bomb explodes and kills any Igbo person in any part of the South-East states. According to reports from Daily Sun, the leader of MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, handed down the warning yesterday in Owerri following the discovery of two bombs planted at the Living Faith Ministry (Winners Chapel) in Owerri, Imo State capital. Uwazuruike said that those who planted the bombs had in mind to kill Igbo who worshiped in the church en-masse. He lamented that after the Igbo had been killed in the North for no justifiable reason, they were now being pursued to their land, saying MASSOB would retaliate the killing of their people anywhere in the South-East by bomb attacks. He, therefore, urged President Goodluck Jonathan to provide adequate security in the South-East states to forestall any bombing of the Igbo, saying: “We will bring down Nigeria if our people are killed here with bombs.” Uwazuruike vowed that his group would unleash mayhem of unimaginable proportions if Ndigbo were bombed in their homeland. He disclosed that already MASSOB had mobilised its surveillance arm to help the police in detecting miscreants, who wanted to bring bombs into the South-East states with the purpose of exterminating the Igbo. He also urged Jonathan to advise the South-East governors to urgently rise to the occasion as his group would not hesitate to retaliate the killing of their people at home. “They were targeting our people in the North to kill them and we sent buses to bring our people back. Now, they have come to our domain to kill our people with bombs. “It is most unreasonable to kill innocent people with bombs. Therefore, if this attempt to exterminate our people with bombs in any part of Igboland succeeds, what we will do will be unimaginable; the level of our reaction will be catastrophic. In this regards, nobody will ascertain the level of our unreasonableness,” he said. The MASSOB leader, during the maiden Biafra Day celebration in Owerri on May 30, had warned that his group would shelve its non-violence posture to defend the Igbo, if they were killed in Igbo land. He said the resolve was not empty as they would surely make good the threat any day the Igbo were attacked and killed in their land. He urged the Nigerian authorities to fish out those who planted the Owerri bombs and mete out appropriate punishments to them while beefing up security to protect the lives and property of the people in the South-East states. Also, Uwazuruike urged Ndigbo to be extra-vigilant, saying MASSOB would defend them with the last drop of its blood.

2. Care Care and concern is the next thing that most of the men fail to display. They might be having high concern and regard for their partner but when it comes to expression, most of them fail.

3. Admiration for partner’s traits Only few men are in the habit of acknowledging and admiring their lady’s qualities and encouraging them. They are bitten by ‘male ego’ and find difficult to see beyond that.
