Hollywood isn't exempted.
Bollywood promote more of gender equality because women pay bride price.

Are you serious? Bollywood?

Those bollywood movies irk me because of the way women are treated.
The women view and treat their husbands like they are some kind of Gods over them, while they themselves are seen as mere slaves.
Females have no say at all. They are married away to anyone their fathers wants, not minding if they want to or not.

I was just finished watching a movie on Zee World and one of the female characters was talking to a nurse and this was the phrase she used --- "wait till my master gets here". And she was referring to her husband. Can you imagine?

If you see the way those people treat their women you will weep.
They just see women as mere possessions that they sell to a family.
You are talking about bride price....that has nothing to do with the girl in question, it's just between the fathers. Even the mothers don't have a say.

If anyone needs to hear the message of gender equality , it's them.

Recheck my post.
I have seen an Indian movie where a wife slapped her husband infront of the man's parents and hers'.

cococandy:

It doesn't sound untrue because I can relate to that. This is actually my first time watching any toke video. I hear about her on nairaland because that is my social site.
I didn't even realize she was this popular as everyone and their brother now knows her

I like Onegai's analysis. Makes sense.

If only I had her guts. Making money off people's insatiable need to know what's going on in the private lives of others would have been so cool.

If is not too late... You have population and media strength to drive traffic where you are...


That being said, I am sure outside this thread, I wouldn't have anything to do with Toke and her likes. They maybe business savvy but there are things I consider as ethics in business. Taking advantage of people is no business ethic to me and no amount of possible millions can make me do it.

Not everybody has a dream of becoming like Warren Buffet. Having food and raiment, I am contented.

I don't like gossip news though. Call me ignorant or old skool, it was the word Vlog that made me open the thread. I couldn't process it meant video log till after seeing the video. My English is still developing..

freecocoa:
Lol, well, it would be a shame should she go back after all done.

pickabeau1:
I think she will

hence the im not perfect, i dont know it all lines

freecocoa:
You are probably right, I just wonder the need for the show, silence would have been golden.

VictoriaBee:

How can they pay bride price and the man will still possess them?

Weeellllllll basically she's this ex-QC girl with an Oyibo accent who's now a radio presenter, who realised that people are like sheep (and will believe ANYTHING! ). After some serious packaging, she started attending the red carpet of literally any event in Lagos (giving her massive visibility) and whilst a few who know her mocked, the rest of the sheep started paying her serious massive attention.

Attention= Eyes on whatever she does = Lucrative advertising deals.

She commands more money than some popular people for any sort of advert she does, in fact you probably cannot afford to pay her for a fashion ad (her biggest draw) and her followers buy anything piece of dressing she wears religiously.

She makes quite some money off this as OAPs are not that well-paid as you believe.

She released vlogs and was dating her hubby for years and still upping her visibility. A while back, some rumours started about her breaking up this dude (in exactly the same way as this current gist) and she blogged about it and the sheep gossiped and fought themselves over it. Then she released their secret wedding pictures (to the highest bidder of course) and the sheep lapped it up and her visibility and prices increased.
Now the sheep are doing it again inspite of any sort of concrete evidence except a strange rumour that came out of nowhere and her removing her wedding pic and putting up a vlog that actually doesn't address "the infidelity". Observe even you are now paying her attention. Her visibility is growing, again.

In summary, she's a very savvy businesswoman who understands Basic Human Nature. Like a Kardashian.

I respect her for understanding her market and appeal.

Chillisauce:


I like her already . She is not like the typical mgbeke nigerian women that will hide in a shell after marriage then gradually fade away.

At least she has something going for her.
Btw, are you Karen igho.
Im Suspecting you.
