“You people said we should stop beating you when you misbehave, we said OK…” Nigerian man, Darlington Says Women Are Asking For Too Much

A Nigerian man simply identified as Darlington called into a radio show to say that women are by nature responsible for nurturing their children and must choose their children over any career. According to Darlington, women have asked men to stop beating them and the men have obliged them; they have also asked to be shown respect, and the men have obliged them once again, but for women to now ask that men should assist with raising the children and doing house chores is taking things too far and the society will suffer for it.

Darlington’s view was shared on Twitter by the anchor of the show he called in to. The OAP, Sandra Ezekwesili pointed out to Darlington that the hard economy has made it near impossible for only the men to sustain their families and it has subsequently necessitated that women contribute to the family’s income.

In her argument, if women are to work full time, they will require support on the homefront but Darlington believed women should only concern themselves with that after they have successfully raised their children.

In Darlington’s words:

”You women are asking for too much. You say we should not beat you people when you misbehave in the house we said okay.

You said we should repsect you, we said okay. You said we should provide, we said ok. Now you are asking us to play your own role in the house. What happen? There is a natural role for women.

You are supposed to groom your baby, bring up the children.That is why the society is breaking down because the youths are not properly groom.

A woman will give birth today and the next day she says she is pursuing career. Why should women have to work?

The man is supposed to provide for the home until the woman has finished rearing her babies. She can now pursue career.

Babies are more important to a woman than any career. If you gain the whole career and the home front is in tatters, what have you gained? Since women abandoned their role, can’t you see the reflection in the society? Women have abandoned their roles because they have become assertive.
