One thing I haaaaaaattte more than anything is this victim culture women and blacks tend to have nowadays! As long as you're a rich, educated woman living in a first world country, you're more privileged than most people so you should be the last person whining about 'oppression'. So what if someone said something rude to you? So that's the definition of 'oppressed'?

No one is holding you back, no 'glass-ceiling', no 'wage-gap' whatever. We women are even lucky that we can use our looks or sex to get by. So stop the whining, please.

The Nobel prize aint no ordinary prizen it's given to people with remarkable achievements in certain discipline....
Einstein won it for his achievements in physics, John Nash won it in economics for "game theory", as for literature, only 3 people have won it in Africa, soyinka being the first.. Even achebe did not get it,so it's quiet a big deal... Comparing soyinka to adichie is quiet unfair, the gap is too much, it's like comparing chris brown to Michael jackson...

Isn't it what the women portray?They say the men don't give them a chance and that they should be given the opportunity.Some of the women in these position are there just because they are women,not because they got the votes.

Yet, it didn't stop Achebe from claiming father of Modern African literature.

Anyway, read my post again, it says currently. I wasn't comparing their achievements.

The average African man would say, women are 'naturally meant to be under men'. Ask him what he sites as his source and he references the bible. Enough said.

I know her husband must be her doormat by now

she tinks she equal to man

even nature doesn't support dat


I have always blived in women, what they can do and never to be relegated to the background but the way this lady is taking the whole matter is something else

if all women take after her, many marriages won't last even a month. there can't be two captains in a boat!

This seems to be the only thing I ever hear her hammering on. It is beginning to sound like a broken record to me.

The women around me; my partner and daughter are not victims of this. There are certain opportunities that nature places on them as females. Short of that, they are no different from males and I do not treat them any different.

Only few ladies nowadays reason like this....they have decided to accept the cage that feminists have offered them..as a result many of our unsuspecting ladies are getting filled with unnecessary negatives through this evil message....I believe in 'Great' women not feminists

"They say" men dont or "Men dont" give them the chance?
In all honesty do you think if buhari was a woman with all his experience and good qualities and al that APC would have made him their presidential candidate?

Can you homestly say nigeria is in a state where Men will vote women as presidents ( evenwhen they are fully qualified)? If your answr is NO.. it raises the question ; why??



Yes fully qualified to loot our treasury(Stella odua, Diezani, NOI).

I doubt if this feminist is even a Christian, breeding some kind of culture that will ultimately lead to crisis in families as wives will no longer be submissive to their husbands as the Bible advices.

She'll cause more harm than good to the female folks with these her sermons.

At least she agrees the reason for make-up is cos of a man. Yet some ladies would deny as if its all about "Trying something"

I'm i the only on that smells a reason why she DOESNT take a swipe at religion knowing fully well that it supports the stance she is opposing till date?

Men as nannies!! Abi Mannies? Like seriously. Funny.


Overall, she is "Trying" but to me, needs to convince more to show. She sees herself as a preacher of sorts. There were many before her. Thats where my fear lies. Not like i dont want some of her ideas. But history.........

Overall, nice speech.

Really a great speech... Never do anything because you're a woman, do it because you want to. ..

Except the natural roles though. . Like giving birth, breastfeeding et al...

No Oh! I will breastfeed the baby lubbish, she's a feminist who'll set female folks against Men and the Bible, which clearly admonishes wives to be submissive.

The Bible says, be submissive, Chimamanda says, you don't have to if you don't want to.

Omotola with four kids and married for 20 years right? Featured on Time's 100 most influential people and has achieved a lot in her career over the years .Hear her:

I don’t believe in gender equality. I do not believe that God made man and woman to be equal in any way. I believe that in every organised institution, there is always a head and an assistant. It doesn’t mean that one should take the other for granted, or disrespect the other. I believe the husband is the head of the home and the wife is an assistant.

My husband is a pilot, I have flown with him several times and I understood that here is a captain and a co-pilot. They are both responsible for the passengers’ lives. But when there is a final decision to make, it is up to the captain to make it. He is more experienced and the one with the responsibility. But any mature captain will not ignore his co-pilot because the co-pilot is not a cabin attendant. He is there for a reason. It just depends on how you understand and play your roles.

I believe women should understand this. When a woman starts a struggle for power tussle with him, it tends to cause friction in the home. The woman should give the man the respect as the head of the home and also prove herself as a worthy co-pilot. He needs to see you as a reliable co-pilot. Sometimes, he may not be the one running the house day-to-day, you are the one to take decisions but you have to do it in such a manner that he is comfortable enough to see you as someone he can rely on.

When you have a proud and egocentric husband, hand him over to God. If you feel like your life is being threatened, or that of your children, get yourself out of that situation. You owe your children that. Try separation for a while, but before that, you must have tried other things. I do not believe that people should throw in the towel in their marriage at every flimsy excuse. You must have been a diligent wife and tried prayers and intervention. If all those fail, then you can remove yourself from that situation. Also, couples should be friends and communicate. What we call love sometimes fizzles out. True love comes from friendship. When you don’t feel those initial sparks, friendship is what keeps you together, until when the spark comes

Dear God! My eyes started watering after awhile, what a lot of liberal pc crap this stupid woman is spewing...just because you can write a novel doesn't all of a sudden turn you into some kinda muse. Equal rights for homos on the continent of Africa!? This coming from someone who claims a world view...what a warped way of looking at the world; better shut up and go put on some more lipstick or write another half of a yellow hibiscus or whatever it is you do

I understand the message you are trying to pass but disagree with your rationale! There are many places in First world countries where your money and intellect are rubbished due to the color of your skin and/or gender. Oppression has different levels of intensity but no matter which way we look at it, it is still oppression. Some people do the same work, at the same company but still make less due to their gender or the color of their skin.
