For those who seem befuddled...
It’s the OBJECTIFICATION that is objectionable (no pun).

The APC (nor any other major national political party or any serious-minded news organization or media) would NEVER in its official medium describe or refer to any male legislator or political/public officeholders as “handsome” (or even as “pretty”) or otherwise substantively reduce men to their physical characteristics. Aside from being disrespectful, it is also patronizing!

She is a female and pretty ....nothing disrespectful there

why does the male get a name, but as usual, the female is nameless and qualified by her looks amd not her achievement?

Did she work all these years to reach HoR, only for some nobody behind a keyboard to call her pretty female? Couldn't the handler have just called her a PDP Honorobale representing Abia State? If it was OUK or Abaribe, would he have said "handsome gentleman from...."?

Systematic patriachy and sheer misogyny will not allow most people on Nairaland see the disrespect in that tweet, but people with exposure and education knownthe tweet is disrespectful

Most Nigerians are jobless that's why they comment on anything on twitter/Instagram.

is the hon member (Lynda)complaining?

Myself2:


You are wrong dude ??
PDP didn't send her to second that motion,,,,so if anything PDP will be laughing at her now that "See ya life,,,serves you right,,,,you thought you could dine with the devil(APC) and not get some devilish treatment" ?

Just attaching importance to irrelevant things.

So what is bad in calling someone pretty? The same lady will be blushing inside her why you people are having hbp.

That's a sexist tweet, the APC Twitter handler should know better. That she's not in your party doesn't mean you should regard her in such disrespectful manner.

Is the honourable in question Kalu Ikpeazu's wife, sister or in-law? These greedy politicians will just be rotating power amongst themselves and their families.

seriously ayam not understanding.... can we just allow this pple settle down to work and forget all dis Mumu arguments and bickering....

Oga, did they tell you they want to do any work ? These are the next set of looters of the country's resources with a ready made reason for their failure at the end of the day. So the vicious cicle continues until Nigerians are ready to say enough is enough. Stop fighting corruption, we only need good governance not fighting of an ambiguous corruption.

Wake up Nigerians, we all have to demand accountability from anybody that our oppressors have placed in position of power to loot the country dry.

Suddenly, a wailer and Ipob transformed into 'pretty' in APC dictionary. what a linguistic miracle.

To mention or type the name of Pdp member is forbidden for APC handle. It has nothing to do with her gender. We have the liberty to qualify or praise people to best of our knowledge provided its not an insult. Besides, apart from being part of pdp family, the person behind that keyboard might not been privilege of other achievement of hers

Some people are just pretty stupid.
Very soon, they will say we should not even talk to anyone again. What is bad in calling her pretty now?

Wailers will always look for a reason to wail. So if the handler isn't sure of her name or couldn't spell the name, he should tweet again.

u can't blame them, apc and their people never have sense

Base on lazy Nigeria youths .blind argument.

Well, that lady is pretty sha. Very perfect qualification! Using beautiful fit no be this perfect self cos when you see a light weigh with fine face, you call em pretty! Nothing’s wrong with the tweet. Naija normal trips, if nah one Uk party tweet this, nah them go still dey like am.

She was the one that donated herself for the public ridicule

don't mention her name then..
He shoukd have just said an Honorable Member of PDP, Abia State.

It was an insult, you just can't see it because you are sitting on your male privilege that blinds you.

mknigeriagreat:
Painful for PDP. It was a very sweet one for me after that professorial nomination by jubrin and now finally nailed by that pretty PDP lady. Wailers una go die o.

Sorry PDP i was to write.

Wetin Concern PDP with this post now?
The tweet sounded sexist hence the outrage.
The bone of contention is that the Womans name wasn't mentioned rather she was reduced to her physical attributes alone.

You left the matter that was brought up and turned it to APC vs PDP.
Haba!

But she is pretty? Abeg is she on nairaland?

Ok so no relationship with the current Abia state governor. She looks a bit like Stella Oduah

How about Not-so handsome male representative nominated Femi Gbajabiamila. Does it still sound okay to you.

You that is not stupid, you can't see the difference between a House of Assembly and a beauty contest. You can't see that the Omugo that did not know her name can just say "the rep representing wherever". He had to say Pretty and put female there because she is both nameless and without anything to offer in that house but her beauty.

Iranu.

Dìndìnriǹ, Ọlọ́pọlọ ẹja... Femi is a known figure, this is not his first time in the house. Your fish brain is so useless to see it from that perspective

Fyi, Dolnald Duke in his days as Gov of C.rivers state was referred to as " Handsome Gov." Yet hell was not loose

If the President wants his wife at the other room only, what else do u expect from a riff-raffe behind their Twitter account

I can't argue with how dumb you sound. It would break my heart to even hear you sound slightly intelligent. I have put the scenario before you but your brain refused to do catch-up; whatever is left of the hollow space in your head can only be left to limited Imagination. ��
