The funny thing is if I typed this, flies will perch on me and start attacking like I'm lying. I guess I told the dude in question to say this. Or we planned it. Let those that pretend like they don't know it's true continue. But I know it won't stop others from saying the truth as they see it. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

funlord: We don't need to adopt any European ways. African women had always fought for their rights before the Europeans and Asians. [b]Colonialism resulted in the loss of political position and power for Igbo women in Nigeria; the Victorian assumption, on the part of the British colonial administrators, that women were incapable of political leadership, resulted in the failure of the administrators to perceive the traditional role played by women in Igbo political life and eventually led to the British imposition of political institutions on the Igbo which provided political roles for men only. In the traditional culture there was a balance of power between men and women. Issues relevant to men were decided by concensus of all the men in the village. Women ran their affairs through the women's town meeting where they also arrived at decisions through consensus on such matters as trade, farming, and family relationships. If the women's decisions were not accepted by the men, the women took group action, such as publicly berating a man or beating on his house until he repented or by conducting a village-wide cooking strike if the men refused to clear the paths to the market. These forms of collective action were referred to as sitting on a man or "making war on the man" and were viewed as legitimate by the men in the community. When the British extended their control over Igbo, they viewed the diffuse authority patterns of the Igbo as a sign of anarchy and proceeded to divide up the region into districts and arbitrarily appoint natives, usually someone predisposed to the British position, as the warrant chief for the district. These chiefs were given complete authority and the traditional decision making power for both sexes was ignored. The women responded by holding a town meeting and deciding to "make war" on the repressive warrant chiefs. In towns throughout the region, the women congregated at the administrative centers, burned the buildings, and berated the new chiefs.[/b] The British responded in typically ethnocentric fashion; they failed to perceive the traditional system at work and quelled what they considered to simply be unruly mob behavior. Later reforms lead to the restoration of political pwer for Lgbo men but not for the women. Missionaries also contributed to the decline in political power for women. They viewed the women's town meeting as a pagan ritual and reserved job related education for Igbo men only. - See more at: http://www.popline.org/node/510467#sthash.Dl6rMpsP.dpuf 3 Likes |

tyconcepts:Does the dude who wrote all this think it's easy being a man in Nigeria as opposed to being a woman? He sounds like someone still sucking on his mama's t!tt!es for him not to realize that Nigeria can be as hard for men as it is for women...all depending on where (the background) one comes from. The only difference is that men don't gripe and whine about it all day, neither are we eternally tormented by the idea of inequality so much that we can't even muster up the confidence to be what we want regardless. A man gets and achieves what he wants, and it isn't in any way easier than if he were a woman neither is it because society favours him...that's a truckload of cow sh!t. Heck, a woman even finds it easier getting what she wants in Nigeria just by spreading her legs for the right man...no pun intended If a woman thinks that being independent and earning the bucks intimidates men, then she should change her neighbourhood and be around men that don't get intimidated even if she rolls around in an Evoque (not as if most young women who earn decent salaries can even afford an Evoque, but who's counting ) What you women need is a little more self-esteem and confidence. Fvck what society says and go get what you want, society can only talk at the end of the day..it won't kill you. It's sickening hearing and reading all this self-pity and endless whinning from sad women when the obvious problem is that they lack balls and can't dare to go further. 7 Likes |

tyconcepts: You should have put your foot down!!! Were you working on the Island or Lagos generally? Cuz if you were, it wouldn't be strange. And those babes are not single I got my first official car and a driver in my mid-twenties. I had the option of monetizing the driver's pay if I wanted to but of course, I did not. say wetin happen I remember one or two family friends expressed their fears (maybe because the driver I got was quite advanced in age) but of course I just laughed it off. There is time for everything in life, there is a time to live by other people's rules and there is a time to take your own decisions and be responsible for the outcome. The time for the latter is now! @topic - as much as I agree it's not easy to be a woman in Nigeria, I would go further to say it's also not easy being a man in Nigeria (abi is it easy to save for years just to use it to pay dowry for woman ni), and teenagers do not have it easy either. Comparatively, I may even say women have it the easiest in Nigeria compared to other natural groups. That's very debatable though. So what's the solution? If life throws you a lemon, make a lemonade out of it. Whining solves nothing! And like Raumtedeur said, try being a woman in Saudi Arabia 2 Likes |

tyconcepts:Sorry to rain on this parade as you seem to be using cliché examples to make your point, but hey, a man wasn't the problem here, YOU were. I would've blamed your mom, but her stance can be overlooked and blamed on her being from another generation.

Kimoni: Oya tell me your former monicker All these one people are writing is just rubbish. Does anyone think its easy being a man even in Nigeria? Even from a boy toddler would be told he cant cry because he is a boy. In school a boy would be scolded if a girl gets more marks than him In Education common entrance the cut off for boys is higher than girls despite them learning the same thing in the same environment Time to do manual work the boys portion are usually bigger than the girls, Same thing when its time to do any risky venture like hunt, go to war, Do vigilante work When its time to do heavy lifting even by colleagues who earn the same thing the men would be expected to lift while the women just watch When it comes to schools girls can easily tender their ass and get favours while a man has to work for it An unemployed girl would be thinking of getting married but woe betide an unemployed guy who even dares toast a girl Marriage a man has to fork out everything he has made in life to get married in this same Nigeria while a woman just sit there In marriage a man who loses his job starts worrying while a woman would know she is just a helpmeet not the main cast In times of crisis women and children are saved first while men are left to find their way 4 Likes |
