When I read the story of Susan Aghogho Asakpa, a female cab driver, I was moved! I know there are some exceptional ladies in our society who have vowed never to be deterred by the circumstances of life.

On a serious note, it so unfortunate and painful to know that many of our young Nigerian women do not make effort to be independent!!! Many feel that it is not in place for them to be independent but only fair for them to be dependent on a man. This idea is fast becoming outdated and no longer acceptable in a society with an unstable economy like ours! Even in developed societies where the economy is strong, this same idea holds no weight as those people have done away with it long time ago.

Most Young women in our society today are just so lazy to an extent where even the ones that attended private universities are still looking up to the male folks for sustenance. Those who are not so lucky to come from a financially-stable homes have delved into cheap prostitution!

I think Nigerian mothers should do more in teaching their daughters entreprenural skills early enough in life. If Susan Aghogho Asakpa wasn't enterprising, I really wonder where her life would have been now, knowing fully well how difficult it is to secure a reasonable job in Nigeria. What our mothers keep making our young women to understand indirectly is that the Nigerian society is a 'patriarchal' one! Patriarchal my foot!!! So what's the meaning of feminism? It is this mentality that has broken so many relationships and will still continue in that line as far as it is still promoted!

It is time our young Nigerian women wake up from their long slumber and become enterprising! Don't just sit your ass up there and wait for the male folks to come around and soften your life! Throwb your pride away; it is not necessary!!! Until you search your soul thoroughly and identify what you can do for yourself and your immediate environment, you will continue to live in self-deceit!

Susan Aghogho Asakpa has earned my respect. In my eyes, she will add more value to the life of any man than that beautiful lady that sits there with long artificial nails and costly Peruvian hair, waiting vainly for a man to come and uplift her. The truth is that, searching for a successful man that will improve your life and that of your family members is not a profession; neither is it an occupation or an endeavour in life! The problem is that most young ladies in our Nigerian society don't see anything useful in emulating successful women who have gone out of their way to achieve; they would rather copy the characters they see on Telemundo and other idealistic and 'Alice In Wonderland' movies!

Good afternoon everyone...

There was a time when men thought it was sexy to have a housewife waiting for him to come home from work in her slippers, but in modern society, I think an independent woman is even more sexy.

How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself?

Alkarulezz, I can see u, boy!

Some have started reaping the repercussion of placing their hopes on the male folks! In these difficult times, girls who are not enterprising might just start sleeping with men in order to feed and clothe themselves

LoL! A girl expecting rescue never learns to save herself. Even with the means, she will find her courage wanting.

Yes Boss Rap money.

Nairaland men and women matter. . Odiegwu. . Make una leave women alone please. .

No woman is forcing you to spend on her and when it's time to marry, marry whoever you desire.. nawa o

On this same nairaland, some men will say they hate women who place career above their family. . A woman shouldn't do anything that will take her away from home because her home comes first...
Some will say they want their wives to be teachers or micro entrepreneurs, so that they would have ample time for the family

Again, on this same nairaland some will say independent/career ladies are so arrogant and tend to chase men away.. Some very myopic ones will even say a lady with a car is a threat to them...
I once read a thread that says " men hate very smart women" or something like that.. I was just smh..

Today, they want independent ladies, tomorrow they no want

Abeg, make una leave ladies alone o abi una wan make we pack commot for nairaland for una

A thread to bash women I guess... #just strolling by.

It is my opinion; you have yours too

Is this what you call insult? A post that admonishes young women to be hardworking? I believe you can reason better than that.

What our mothers keep making our young women to understand indirectly is that the Nigerian society is a 'patriarchal' one! Patriarchal my foot!!! So what's the meaning of feminism? It is this mentality that has broken so many relationships and will still continue in that line as far as it is still promoted!

Confused much?

Mtchew.

Pick a side already.

We all know where it will end. #following the thread.
