120 days ago1. Nigerian society is in conflict — not between men and women, but between the modern woman and traditional expectations.
She’s educated.
She earns her own money.
She wants to be heard, not just seen.
2. But she’s still expected to cook like her mother, submit like her grandmother, and serve like it’s 1960 — even while working a 9–5 job and handling Lagos traffic.
3. The modern Nigerian woman wants love, not control.
Partnership, not ownership.
Respect, not restrictions.
But society says:
“Be humble.”
“A good woman keeps quiet.”
“You must kneel to serve food.”
Why?
4. Some men feel threatened by her independence.
They say: “She’s too proud.”
Or “No man can marry a woman like that.”
But is it pride — or just confidence and self-awareness?
5. Here’s the irony:
Men want women who are smart, driven, and successful —
Until she starts acting like it.
6. And let’s be fair:
Many women want a traditional man who provides —
But also want to share modern freedom without traditional duties.
So maybe both sides are confused?
7. We can’t keep demanding old behaviors in a new world.
Culture must evolve.
Respect must be mutual.
8. It’s not a gender war.
It’s a misunderstanding of roles, values, and evolution.
Can modern relationships survive traditional expectations?
