Can someone educate me, please? Nigerian women living abroad, whether married to or dating Nigerian men, how exactly does this 50/50 arrangement work? Do you split everything financially down to the last penny? And do the men also split household responsibilities 50/50? Chores, cooking, cleaning and everything that comes with running a home? Or is it just the bills that are expected to be shared equally while the responsibilities at home remain largely on the woman's shoulders? I genuinely want to understand because I don't live abroad, and I don't understand the dynamics behind all this 50/50 debate that's been dominating my timeline. I also want to believe that some Nigerian men living abroad are married to Nigerian women or are in relationships with them. Do your wives split the bills 50/50? Do your girlfriends contribute equally? And if some women come out to say they don't believe in splitting bills 50/50, why does that suddenly become an excuse to drag and generalise all Nigerian women? That's the part I don't understand. Now, because of this same argument, foreigners have joined in to insult and generalise Nigerian women, and some Nigerian men are happily clapping along. Well, I'm not surprised. Anything to drag a Nigerian woman, anything to disparage, degrade or humiliate her, and some of you are right there, eager to join in. Put all Nigerian women under one tweet and watch how excited some of you become. Some of you will eventually marry Nigerian women. Some of you already have Nigerian wives. You have mothers, sisters, female cousins and other female relatives. Yet you find it so easy to insult an entire population of women because of the actions or opinions of a few. We all know that not every Nigerian woman thinks or behaves the same way. So why is it so difficult to make that distinction? Honestly, the level of excitement and the kind of erection some of you have been getting from this gender war over the past few days is something else. Some people genuinely enjoy having a reason to hate and insult women. Keep being the idiots you are. Some men are just completely off it for me.

South Africans won't let a foreigner wake up and start tweeting trash about their women or artists. They'd drag you sehhh! But Nigerian men would give them the audacity to ride on. Cheering him on in the comments
