Even if knows what he's talking about, I don't think there's anything wrong with a woman choosing to be without a husband.

I very much agree with you sir.
Cheers.

I wanted to say congrats to her out of tribal sentiments...but no!!!


A woman who has no husband or one who sees herself greater than a man deserves no respect.





When husband scarce for dia side, dem go start dey form feminist.

slowpoke!
Who told you she has no husband and where in the world did u get the idea that a woman without a husband does not deserve respect. Besides, do u really think she needs your affirmation? Kindly show some respect to yourself by not displaying such 'fuckery' and buffoonry in a public space.

Is that to mean that other Nigerian tribes are not doing well?
Does that mean that there are not many Igbos doing dirty, bad and dangerous things?

Who told you she don't have husband?

And when did having a husband makes one more woman than the other.

Grow some sense or you want me to beat some sense into your skull.

You need take your own advice. That poster did not make any negative or disparaging remarks about other ethnic tribes. Just because a person chooses to compliment one tribe does not somehow take away from another. The only thing you've done is show everyone on this forum your own insecurities.

Larrysun the author of blackmaria is a very good writer too. The problem is that Nigerians don't regard literature as something and that Is why most talented writers never make a living from their writing business... sad sad sad

Chimamanda adichie is married to a white man & even if she wasn't married, i don't see why she should be less deserving of respect. Marriage on its own is no achievement. It's a step in life. It doesn't take that much an effort to get married. 1 doesn't exactly have to write an exam or appear before a panel to be certified fit to marry. 1 just agrees with the intended spouse & does it. Do you believe that because you were born with male reproductive organs, you are superior to those born with female organs? Because that seems to be what your statements imply. You function in the mindset that females owe you obeisance due to that singular fact. I have never heard Ms adichie state that she's superior to any man. What i have heard her say is that she wouldn't permit stereotypes & notions held by society be a stumbling block to her striving to be the best version of herself. That if she sets a goal for herself, she wouldn't allow people convince her that goal is beyond her reach simply because she's a woman. Now if that attitude isn't worth respecting, i wonder what is.

Social issues or strictly feminist issues?
Congrats to her all the same and congrats to Nigeria until she becomes a Biafran. cheesy
Social issues. Have you heard the talk she gave on the dangers of stereotyping & profiling? I think it was titled "the dangers of the 1 sided story".
