Actually dnt knw wat to type... wil wait to see comments lata

Chris said...

The babe(lady) of course

Remyne05 said...

The bae, like the gentle man he is.

Unknown said...

Bae me (woman) will open gate for my Bae (man)

Unknown said...

Hmmmm, it depends on individual perspective. Well for me I don't mind to step down to open d gate.

No big deal there, and as d saying goes wht doesn't kill u makes u stronger. So, d guy should open d gate. Case close!

Unknown said...

Except am heavy or sick

Unknown said...

Hmmmm,but i think it will be me na...I will open it since my bae is driving *just saying tho

Unknown said...

Na madam naa! Na me dey open for hubby ooo unless I no dey in good moody! But always je says pls swthrt can u open the gate and again unless it's very late in the night, he will say don't worry let me do it

Na wah O...Woman nor fit open gate again?

Ijanyimitch said...

Fool!! It means absent without leave

Unknown said...

I'll speak for myself. As a lady I'll offer to go open it and then if he says ohhh honey don't worry I'll open it then fine. Don't just sit ur tiny/fat ass like "Chair"lady and be rolling ur eyes waiting for him to make the ist move. Bad home training. But a gentleman wld also offer to go open it while she waits in d car( good home training).

Walata said...

He can't even speak good English smh

cremelawyer said...

Well the person that's not driving whether man or woman should open the gate

ANYA IKENGA said...

The gentle man in us shouldn't allow the lady to do that, it'll look weird tho.

Women are the weaker specie, no matter how they talk about equal rights they still d weaker links.

AS A PRAGMATIC AFRICAN, THE WOMAN OF COURSE, NOT BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN, BUT BECAUSE SHE IS NOT THE ONE DRIVING. IF SHE DRIVES THEN THE MAN SHOULD OPEN THE GATE. OYIBO CAN WASTE HIS TIME COMING DOWN TO OPEN THE GATE, DRIVE OUT AND BACK TO CLOSE IT BEFORE GOING OUT, BUT DIVORCES YOU THE FOLLOWING MONTH.

I will open d gate na. No big deal. So because am a lady my hands are too heavy to open d gate abi? Just imagine him driving, then he will come down open d gate, then come back n drive d car inside. Too much waste of time.

Unknown said...

I will open for boo if it was me oo

Celine Oma said...

Anybody without an inflated ego can do it. And as long as one doesn't look differently on d other for doing it as well. Guy will be like 'see u, u be dey wait make I come open am for u. As per mugu abi? Lady will be like 'I be ur bae no mean say I be ur slave. Come down nd man up to ur duties' so...dat's d Ish. It all boils down to understanding. And d guy don't have to order 'baby get d gate' nd d lady don't have to demand 'baby u shuld get d gate na. Not me'. My 2cents tho

Correct boo!

Awol, is a military term, which means "absent without official leave. Im saying this as a formal paramilitary commander, we use the word "AWOL" when giving a report mostly on parade ground after headcount

Anonymous said...

Ehhhh...see, as long as I am driving, the lady should have the decency to open the gate if she is familiar with the house and the gate. But if she is a new chic, then i'll open it up myself the first few times. But as a married man, wifey dey go open am, except we quarrel small and she dey vex for me. Lol. She knows herself

TONIA GREEN said...

Lol. ..

Anonymous said...

Well for me and my bae, at day time, I do...and at night he does cause of security reasons. Also if am gorgeously dressed, like on heels etc, he does. It's never an issue for us. We know who should at different times.

joy Egbunu said...

Oh common! If d guy is driving then the babe shld open d gate n vice versa. The only time d babe shld sit in d car while d guy opens d gate shld be wen she,s visiting for d first time!

That's why your girl should know how to drive, You open the gate she takes the wheel.

ary said...

Well woe be you if you suggest the woman does that in today's world, yep it would make more sense if she opens it hut remember a gentleman would not let a lady open her own door, so it follows that he too must come down and open his own damned gate. Because for her to go open the gate, he must first go open her door, so why waste all that time?!

Abdul Adepetu said...

The good mannered one will attempt. But generally the man does it. One good enough reason, gate metal is heavy na

If he doesn't offer then it Depends on what I'm wearing. If I'm wearing jeans I could open it. But if I'm wearing my life savings then we just have to wait until security comes back from his AWOL.

prettiyz said...

If am driving and the gateman is not there he opens the gate and vice versa but if we r going out I do but sometimes he says don't worry hon I will do it

the Banku said...

There shouldnt be an "of course". I dont even know why this is a question.if you and bae are really into each other,opening the gate shouldnt be anyone's responsibility.i'l def jump out to open the gate tho unless bae doesnt let me.if he wants to do it,i can also tell him not to bother,i'l do it.Life goes on smoothly.

Anonymous said...

Like seriously???Is this actually up for discussion????
I would get down and open the gate without thinking twice..
Any sane girl should do.Unless bae says otherwise.

lilly said...

well no biggy in dis, i open the gate if my guy is driving and he does if am driving as well, but at night i dont even bother, he wodnt even allow me cz of security reasons. its all about understanding.

Ally berry, u r very intelligent. I'm a man and I will not allow a woman/lady/girl to open gate for me. Its jus a respect I have for female. My neighbour's younger sister often attempt it but yet I still come down. If I respect a lady she sud respect me back too. Ally berry, I respect u for ur comment.

Well I don't see the big deal in who opens he gate..Nigerians sha. Stop sending wrong signals oh. That's how girls will now be expecting too much in a relationship instead of facing reality.

Well in my case, my bf always opens the gate, he usually ask me to take on the wheel while he does the opening and closing of the gate. In few cases, I offer to do it, but its a strong gate that requires some man power so you can understand when he does it himself.

i really do not see what the fuss is all about. we have two people in a car, the third person who should open the gate is unavailable. it is only normal that one person comes down and open the gate and it certainly shudn't be the driver but the passenger who had been sitting all through the trip. it will be inconsiderate to do otherwise

presh ijay said...

i will open the gate since my man is the one driving

Anonymous said...

Bae should be a gentle man n act well.He should kindly open the gate,this act of reasoning will make me see no big deal in opening the gate anytime the gate man is not around. I have had an experience b4 the so call guy asked me to hlp open the gate n while leaving he ask i open the gate again,immediately i knew this is the end. I do not need this kind of man, no decency to establish a relationship first before acting out of place.NOT ALLOWED!

Unknown said...

and in the process of him trynna open the gate,some bad niggers got in and zoomed away with both bae and car ,whom do we blame?

memmie said...

The other person not driving. That's the proper thing to do, however,if the guy is truly "gentle", he will go open the gate

aunty go and open the gate joor... shey you are supposed to be help meet.... anyways before the start dating tho ...it is the other way around

I do open the gate and I have never seen anything wrong with that

Bliss. said...

I think it should be the man, it's not right for a man to watch his woman open gate for him, when it's not like she is his gateman. But if the woman's car is closer to the gate, there is nothing wrong with her getting her ass outta the car and opening the gate, after all it's women like that that scream for gender equality. That's what I would do.

MzCream said...

Abeg this shouldn't be an issue. As a lady, I'll go open the gate. Like Anon 2:17 said, if it's a first time, then he will open it, but if u are familiar, den just open it. Thinking too much about these things lead to bigger issues that shouldn't be there in the first place.
