woky: I reasoned nothing bro

An0nimus:

Ok I'll be veeeery brief.

Husband died. Gruesome death.

So many rituals done. You know the whole trad rites & stuff; shave woman's hair, mourn husband in all black for a certain period, one that involved swearing an oath that she didn't have a hand in death of husband. etc

Husband's family started coming around & asking questions. A few heated arguments here & there.

Wife got a lawyer & fought back family interference.

Wife won.
......
It takes a woman with guts to fight back in cases like these. She has to have some form of support too.

dagr8:

What can women do to protect themselves in a male dominated society?
Also, should tribal law take precedent over federal, state and local law?

Ceasar1:

Na wa woooo for you.

herald9:
I am ibibio...
The most cool-headed tribe in naija...
We believe in equality and justice...
Thats why our women dont get treated like some piece of shiiiit

Actually.. my uncle's wife is still in her matrimonial home even when my uncle was dead and buried for years..

texanomaly:

Which "law" protects women's rights more? Tribal or other? These are just my questions. Surely there are other questions and comments about how far feminism (women's rights.) have come in helping women economically in Nigeria?

That sounds like it should be in politics or culture.

At the risk of turning this thread into a war zone, I was kind of hoping PAGAN 9JA and friends would weigh in on the bolded.

Reyginus: Lil wayne Gangster or Gangster rapper? Urban please don't insult Gangster Rap or Gangster Rappers.

woky: no vex.

ihedinobi2:

I believe you were offered an opportunity to define the concept yourself. You did not take it. It is also rather interesting that it is now that you point out that there was a problem with the definition we worked with. Why did you not do so before, Logicboy?

The.Big.Urban:
Back to the topic,


Feminism is about women's rights, equality and empowerment.

^^
It is the last word that divides feminists- "empowerment"


1)Some feminists take "empowerment" as women getting educated and into places of authority/responsibility
2)Some feminists take "empowerment" as defeating men or getting even with men



It is the second group of feminists that give feminists a bad name. Feminazis

Ceasar1: Is this still a Christian Chat Box?

My eyes must be seeing things.

The.Big.Urban:



lol......see how you spelt "gangsta"

Dont let me vex and slap you

texanomaly:

I posted on what Ihe said the topic was.

ihedinobi2:

We will continue with another issue that emanates from Feminism this evening. A thread will be created to crystallize the discussions and conclusions drawn here and, if necessary, sustain any further discussions on modesty in appearance. But we will be ending all discussions touching the subject per this exercise on this thread effectively today so that we can move into new spaces for growth.

To follow beginning this evening until Saturday will be discussions on the economic rights of women.

woky: hello Maryini

The.Big.Urban:





See lies!! I defined the concept of feminism or at least, explained it how i see it;

ihedinobi2:
The discussion was well underway by then, Lb, wasn't it? Your definition was too tardy to count as the definition to work with. What you should have done was counter Tex's definition, not throw in one when the discussion may have not been going in your favor.

The.Big.Urban:




There is no one Nigerian culture. Pagan9ja can only talk about northern cultures
Someone like me would be only good at south-south cultures.

Ceasar1: Ermmm.. *clears throat ** Is this still a Christian Chat Box?

woky: Now I knw what You mean..

dagr8:
Of course the State laws does. Many Cultural/tribal laws do not even favour the women. In the case of the woman you mentioned, may be she doesn't want to hurt anybody or she is afraid. Fight for your Right. That is the slogan.
If it is in there culture that the in-laws own their brother's properties, the tribal elders will definitely go with the tradition.But we know these things are "faulty" and selfish.

Did the husband have a written will before his demise? Whose name is on the document of the house he built for her? I think this alone settles it all.

Of course it’s a Christian chatbox. Shouldn’t Christians discuss current events and issues that affect them? If Christians don’t make their voices heard on issues that could impact their very beliefs, those beliefs get trampled beneath the feet of those who oppose Christianity. I would venture to say that not talking about, or doing anything about these issues only gives more ammunition to Atheists and the like. We have to plant our feet and make a stand, or we will be trod upon. The rights of the religious are just as important as anyone else’s. We can’t burry our heads in the sand and pretend there is not a war raging all around us.

woky: Why this sermon??

Btw how are u

Ceasar1:


I was also about to ask the Same BRO.
The only thing missing in that sermon was a Bible verse.

The.Big.Urban:


I liked your comment

As a matter of fact - The only thing missing was a Bible verse.
