so She's claiming Diezani is being victimized because of her gender? I'm surprised this is coming from a supposed intelligent woman. Only Diezani can rival Abacha in the looting game.

Yes, just like Sambo Dasuki and Nnamdi Kanu who are also women.

I am yet to see what this woman contributes to the public sphere asides storytelling. In terms of logic and critical thinking, she is seriously deficient.

Abeg, carry your useless identity politics stay for Yankee or Europe or wherever you choose to be. We have too many problems for you to come and start chatting trash here.


I agree with u on d bolded a thousand percent.

All corrupt politicians are pilloried and denigrated by honest citizens of this country.

Saying that a female thief was criticized and attacked just because she was a woman is as a result of groundbreaking stupidity.

It was because Dasuki wronged Buhari in the past.

As for Tafa Balogun, it was because he fell out with Obasanjo.

So Ibori must have wronged Jonathan then, since Yar Adua gave him protection, but he fled Nigeria when Jonathan his fellow Niger Delta brother began hounding him for being a member of the Yar Adua cabal that wanted to deny Jonathan power.

In the end, the UK cared not for African sentiments, they simply applied their laws to re-convict a former convict.

Chimanda will support anything a woman. If her husband were to be shot by his mistress, she'd even defend that mistress. I can bet she uses a dilddo for recreation.

I have no idea why this girl is celebrated abroad. Her books are just there, barely readable to me. The film adaptations are even worse. Its good to know she sounds as shallow and empty as her books make her out to be. I would hate to say this, but this is the kind of nonsense you would expect to hear from an Igbo person. They are people devoid of morals. A thief is a thief. I haven't seen any thread on Nairaland where Madueke's gender is used as a basis for condemning her. Its only this igbo bigot and biafra apologist that sees things that way undecided

Ore000:
ok, what are you trying to say
Ibori that went to prison is now a haemaphrodite

Ibori didn't go to prison in Nigeria, all charges against him Nigeria were quenched.

Plus, he was given a hero's welcome back to Nigeria and he is still been celebrated, consulted and reverend even till today in many quarters in Nigeria.

Though, Adichie is a feminist to a fault and sometimes is blinded by her zealous pursuits to extol the female gender and as such I will not subscribe completely to her views on this.

Agreed, women thieves, prostutions, gang members, professionals, etc are looked at and judged differently compare to their male counterparts...but Haba! that woman steal plenty money oh. So it is very difficult to conclude that, the extend to which she is currently judged is because of the heights of her stealing or if the 'woman factor' have crept in...to me, it's a toss up.

cheesy LOL

I have to read her speech again and what comes to my mind is if she or her type becomes the president of this country (not that I am envying), all men (whether good/bad) are in trouble. Her stance will make most ladies become arrogant, rude and possessive to the extent that cockroach would be seen to have more value than men.

I respect Chimamanda for her literary prowess. But this her feminist fight i think is targeted at gaining relevance internationally, she also supports gay-ism and lesbianism. She knows her game and it is paying her internationally.
Re: Chimamanda Adichie: A Female Politician Was Judged Harshly For Stealing As Woman by Zelex9(m): 2:33pm On Sep 22, 2017
Quite a disappointing statement by Chimamanda. Has it not come across her mind that the reason why there is such uproar surrounding Mrs Madueke might be due to the astonishing amounts involved rather than gender?

She's way smarter than you. You should read and re read then ask someone more intelligent to explain what she meant.



PS: the amount of people who can't understand a simple statement is baffling, is our education system this terrible?


For the uninformed, please read this

I admire your "intelligence."

Ibori's "prison sentence" is a much softer punishment than the honeymoon Madueke is currently enjoying overseas while the hardest thing to have hit her is the senseless "media trial" EFCC is battling to keep alive.

I admire your intelligence!

Lol I wouldn't want us to go tribal here but I often notice that feminists are not politically oriented hence why they spew nonsense when it comes to this topic

The people form the east have made everything tribal. As much as I sound like a tribalist on nairaland, I'm not. I'm currently chilling with two of my Igbo peops. But it is indisputable that tribalists exist and filter everything through the lens of ethnicity. I will fire them till I can fire no more.
