Before the wrath of God locate me, first, it will strike those engage in the act and all supporters.

If you have eyes, you'd notice I made an inference. What you should be asking for is source.

I'm not surprised, even those who steal public funds have suddenly become saints because we have no video evidence indicating the act of looting.

Ofcourse we are not in a sane society grin Wonder why a man "dash" a woman oil bloc and no one called for deeper investigations... Your society is clueless. An actress cheats on her man, and everyone is asking for my head for stating the obvious. This society is NOT sane.


What do you think our society will be like if we all start raising all kinds of allegations. If I said you were the one that murdered Dele Giwa whereas you were not even there. The fact that these things happen does not mean we should now start generalizing. So if any woman rises in Nigeria, she must have slept with all the men. Then going by your assumptions Dora must have walked her way up there by sleeping with all Tom Dick and Harry, same with Okonjo Iweala. Well I have met ladies with principle who have become so successful without compromising their belief and principles. To you it may be difficult to believe. I also share the fact that you've lost hope in the present Nigeria of today. From within you, I know you are not very sure she obtained the oil block by sleeping around. Just that it appears so weird. Let us consider this analogy. Lets assume I am the President and I become so ill having tried orthodox medicine and a lady working for me found solution to this ailment. I can give her more than oil block. What will people think, ofcourse that she slept with me. There are many instances why people act in various ways that we both don't know. You could be right about your allegation and you could be wrong but I'm sure you are not 100 percent sure for that reason, you can not accuse her on a public forum.

When will this local Nigeria cave men understand that this is the 21st century and women of this generation are smart, intelligent, powerful, bold, outspoken, and can excel in virtually all areas of life?!

When will this 17th century homosapiens realise that the days of patriarchy is almost fading out and women have come to prove to the world that they can no longer be relegated to the kitchen and if given the right condition and equal opportunity to strive, are just as good if not better than the men!

Wake up guys and look around your immediate environment, not necessarily globally! Look at your clasmates infact. Look at that girl that is gonna come out with a first class while you the man is struggling with a pass! Isn't that enough reason for you to know that a woman can be successful without sleeping with a man?!

Make una go buy sense, abeg...



Anyway, my comment is not necessarily for the OP! Its for the mofos displaying their low IQ on this thread!

A fraction- but that's all i know about that because i was not there to witness what happened before the dotted lines were signed. Some people can be that lucky/favored. It does not always have to come to sex and even if that were the case, valid proof should be presented. Otherwise, the person and intension of the accuser will be questioned.

How will you feel if i tell you General Sani Abacha didn't loot the nation's fund?

How will you feel if I tell you boko haram wants the success of Nigeria?


If you must discard my allegations (with sources), then you should also discard all the accusations levelled against your politicians. Afterall some of us never met Abacha (physically).

Wow! What kind of wasped logic are you using?

Boko haram, success? My 4year old cousin who sees blood and shattered bodies on TV from boko's bomb blast will answer your question!

Abacha's looting at least has more logic but there are physical documents to prove that one at least.

So what's your proof Prof Dora slept are way to the top? Used condoms!

Re: Successful Women Have Plenty Men In Their Lives by Acidosis(m): 6:44pm On Oct 09, 2014
Some people are funny:


Not many brave women will relate their success with their past relationships with men. It is always about her and her husband. If you think a succesful woman will tell FORBES about her se. xcapades in college, nysc camp, community; y'all had better wake up




More importantly, you guys need to stop misquoting me. THAT SOME DO IT DOESN'T MEAN ALL DID IT. As regards the name calling, I'm surprised no one asked for source; yet y'all want my head rolling on the floor.

Anyway, I don try.. End of Story!

ok.. so you do not know how her oil bloc was gotten

What do you mean by some people are lucky or favoured

What sort of favor will enable someone who was an associate of the former First Lady get access to own an oil bloc

Yet you are defending the person vehemently..

You really don't need to argue wiv this people. I have said it several times on this forum. I talk based on personal experience. Nobody has to agree. They think one sidedly and assume the world revolves around their understanding. The Nigeria I no, does not favour hardworking women. At a time, her hard work will not speak for her but her moral standing. This is where many fall by the way side but because people knew this women to be brilliant and hardworking. People assume that it is what got her there. The country is not favourable to women. We have always been at the receiving end. This is not to say women cannot be successful wiv out the input of any man. Like I said earlier it is easy for me to believe a successful woman that comes from a successful home( parental influence and wealth) than for me to believe a woman who went from grass to grace
as a result of harsh environment

So what's your point? That she was an associate of the former first lady does not mean someone bedded her before she became successful. What do i mean by luck/favor? please define luck/favor, let me know if i have poor choice of words.

I don't think anything because it's not my job to start questioning the success of everyone especially women. And even if i find my self doing so,i can't just wake up,come to nairaland and start making demeaning statements about them- atleast,not to that level when i don't have evidence.

I didn't disagree with the op's post. I only praised a guy- a guy oo, who expressed that the post is one sided.At a point, women need the influence of men to succeed just as men will need a woman's influence to succeed. Or do you want to discredit your mum's(for example) influence on where you are today? haba!

Haba.. i did not see any issue with the post
What he said is not all 'successful' women got to the top through hardwork and integrity
This of course applies to the men also

Even another poster sandijey spoke of the sexism which pervades the upper echelons of certain sectors and she was shouted down
She actually raised the best post in my opinion
She identified the sexism as the issue. Some women are actually qualified for higher responsibility but will be stuck because they dont want to compromise their standard.. Some eventually go through but the reality is that most will compromise

It is not only unique to naija but it can be worse here as discrimination lawsuits can be filed abroad


There are men who made it to the top the right way... there are those who did not
There are women who made it to the top the right way... there are those who did not

A mums influence on a child may not be the best barometer of success to determine how successful a woman is

Im sure Ma Baker was a good mum to her kids.
