Why some Abuja men spend more time in beer palour, gardens

This is a NAN report and it's quite interesting. Read below..
Some men in Abuja have given reasons why they prefer to stop over at drinking joints before going home. Few of them who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja noted that they did that to avoid unnecessary squabbles with their wives. They also said disturbances from their children contributed to making them stay late night at drinking joints. 
Ferdinand Lucas, a welder, who usually visited a joint said that he stopped over at the garden to relax with a bottle of beer before going home to avoid argument with his wife.
“I recall when we newly got married, my wife use to be very humble and caring but now it is the opposite. My wife complains on every issue and sometimes I don’t even know how to handle or manage her. In one of the occasions when I got home, she started complaining over the children school fees which I already promised to settle at the end of the month,’’ he said.
Lucas said he wish he was still single to avoid the usual ranting of the wife, even when he came home late. Mr. Samuel Olaedo a business man at Wuse Market said he preferred to stop over at beer parlour to drink and watch football to ease off tension before going home.
“I recall an incident that happened some time ago, my wife asked me to buy a separate television for her to avoid her disturbance during football match. I told her I have no money for that now, since she comes back home before me she will start watching her soap operas; she will hide the remote control from me. When I return home and try to change the station from the decoder we will start arguing which will result to insults,’’ he said.
Olaedo pointed out that he preferred going straight to his bed to sleep even when he returned home late just to avoid the wife’s disturbance.

A male boutique operator, who spoke on the condition anonymity, said the desire to take care of his girlfriend keeps him out in a garden every day. According to him, the wife is incapable of making the home interesting for him.
“My girlfriend is a very interesting person and she makes me very happy; that is why I spend more time with her than with my wife. My wife doesn’t make the home interesting, she is always busy chatting with her friends on phone and leaving me to myself but my girlfriend gives me attention and notices everything that bothers me,’’ he said.
He further said that he could be married to the girlfriend if the wife does not change.

  12. Hehehe Lindiway this stuff is fallacious and shouldn't be used to judge Abuja men.
    Most of them visit gardens with their wives, Abuja men are very responsible, that man must be staying at Suleja or Nyanya,which are not Abuja.

Squatter like you. For your info,60%of Abj residents live in that axis,and these are the major ppl oiling the wheels of Abj's movement. Meanwhile I live in Wuse 2. Just that I hate pple running others down for no reason. And by the way, Gardens and Lounges are the only 'fun' in Abj. Most ppl irrespective of class keep this way of life. Stupid child.

  17. All the men that were interviewed are obviously the cause of the trouble in their marriages. Their wives are complaining because they come home late, they use all their money for drinking and what not. It is obvious that the wives are frustrated with these men. You men do not realize that you can marry up to 50 women, if your attitude does not change, it will still end up being the same situation

    1. These excuses are too flimsy to avoid going home early . For how long would they continue running. It's a weakness on the part of those men. BE MAN ENOUGH TO FACE YOUR WIFE at any point in time.

  21. Irresponsible men blame their inefficiencies at home on their wives. Men shouls know that marriage ia different ball game from being single. Issues should be discussed and resolved amicably and not blame.. I am. Sick and tired of grown ass men who can't resolve and think of the impact of their actions on their family... Everything issue is women yet they go back to the same women because they are 'single' marry them only to discover it's thesame vicious circle. I rest my case

  22. Women really nag about everything.....God help me keep my husband in his home....Help me respect and understand him...its not easy coz I also need some of his attention and prompt response to certain issues...buh I need wisdom to handle the situation and not send him out of our home

  35. Linda please can I get a drum role please....
    What a stupid excuse for them stupid men.

    Soon you will hear those women killed bec of money that is not worth their life.

    My 2 cents here is that, men if the women doesn't make the home interesting, you guys should. must everything be in the hands of women to do? I just hate useless excuses. If u know wat ur woman doesn't like then don't do it. men have special ways of irritating women and later they will blame everything on women. Men please get a life.

  46. It is big lesson for women to learn how to handle their husbands. They need to give them more attention a times and understand their partners. The men should also know how to tolerate their wives and make them understand. Drinking cannot solve their problems.

    ReplyDelete
  47. When there is no peace, understanding, communication, men are bound to spend more time drinking and womanizing. It seems childish to run away from your troubles. Better to face it, resolve it while you can and be happy.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Some wise fellow once said (and I paraphrase),

    "A woman should behave such that her husband longs to come home, a man should behave such that his wife is sorry to see him leave"...or something like that.

    The current generation of Nigeria youth will probably have the highest divorce rates ever, because man and wife have all but abandoned the principles that sustain happy and bilaterally fulfilling marriage.

    God save us and our kids.

    P.S. Ladies, take some responsibility, it takes two to tango y'know.

  51. These are the reasons why Children are not raised properly. One parent is always absent.these men are typical examples of men who don't know how, or what to do in a marriage. They don't know self; therefore marry any woman in the name of marriage. When things starts going south; the disappear A and start behaving immature, irrelevant and irresponsible in their own homes.

  53. Can't believe what am hearing. Are these men for real?. You can't afford your child's fees but you spend money on a daily basis in a beer parlour. And you think these kids are not watching. Tomorrow,when they start taking care of their mother...you will still be the first to start complaining . Anything a man sows he will definitely reap.

  58. Some single men who feel cool go home with the stench of alcohol everyday. You enter into the room of a 'sober' person and you can't breathe freely because of the smell of alcohol. Highly irritating and annoying. A married man who keeps different girls and late nights because he needs to step down will then blame his wife for his irresponsibility. If he combine e flexing money, dem for don forget say dem pay school fees. E nor wan pay end of month, na posting.

For the mean time stop acting like ur trying to judge women..

  62. Just saw this post and it reminds me of the greatest man of Africa, Nelson Mandela. Madiba was unjustly imprisoned, beaten,made to sleep in a tiny cell,tortured for 26 years and he was still happily married. Then freedom came but one year of living under the same roof with his wife after 26 years apart he comes out screaming, I cant take this sh.t anymore. As u can see, marriage to the wrong person can break even the strongest person created by GOD whether male or female.

  63. Men too should cherish their wives instead of lavishing money on girl friends & given nonsense excuses.
