Everybody is forming oppressed... Women, blacks , gays, biafrans, afonjas, ... Only the alpha "" white man no dey talk!!! ....useless generation!!


I'm telling you

a lot of things that black people say on social media if white people say it mistakenly they will be descended upon by angry black people


black people don't know they are their own worst enemies. The whites use blacks to fight themselves and fool themselves.

African Americans especially are living in delusion .

very dumb set of people especially those African Americans. half of their women are strippers ,escorts and groupies and their men are drugbsellers , gangbangers etc yet they blame the whites for their issues.

Kid! Why do you allow your lust for pornsites affect your obscure faculty?? African American/Black Americans are doing extremely well in their various fields abroad! Many are being celebrated for their ideology and achievements.
I don't want to argue with you but I urge you to stop this bland generalities! Before you come on here to vomit voracious appetites, you should get your facts straight!!

Where did I say marriage is archaic?
You just decided on your own to assume I said that huh?

Lack of understanding

Make una dey insult una self

So, marriage is archaic, yet those who stuffed your brain with that notion are married? Why are you intentionally deceiving yourself Now?

It remind me of Islamic clerics that deceive suicide bombers with 72 virgins in heaven. Strangely enough, the Islamic clerics too refuse to die, as if they too don't want to enjoy 72 virgins.

Use your head and stop fooling yourself. By the time you realise that you've been deceived, it may be too late for you to retrace your steps. please don't be stupid for your own sake. Swallowing every rubbish people teach you on social media will destroy your life.

My thoughts too.

She presented her argument solidly, but went overboard at the end. It was needless for her to insult his person. It presented her as being insecure

CC: Fearlesschicken

please spare me that jare.

I didn't insult him, I just said the truth. For someone to have that kind of thought process, it's obvious he has insecurity issues. He feels his surname is his honour which should not be.

Try to be objective and not do follow follow.

You started well and finished wrongly. You do not have to wash him down. Every society has a custom they are used to. What is done in China is not same in India, does that make one tribe insecure or demeaning over the other?

Abeg Abeg.

Nigeria has laws. There is no law that forbids a woman from maintaining her surname.

A name is a name.

if you thing it is disrespectful for someone not to have your name because they are your spouse, then you obviously have a problem .

Which is what I stated. I said the truth, he is insecure.

Mr, Mrs, Miss, or Ms whichever is applicable to you, is it hard for you to comprehend? Does custom means law. While the fuss.
And please channel your frustration appropriately.

I believe one black guy has finally *hit* the right spot. Welcome back. For those quoting me blankly just to soothe their sores, "yes i know she's married to a white man".

Her husband is Nigerian actually

So you know this, why the emphasis on Nigeria as a whole?

Law is applicable to every body regardless of what tribe, religion or gender you are..

We have various cultures, with different traditions which is not applicable to everybody.

I have the right to mention the law, you don't have the right to mention custom as it doesn't apply to everyone.

Please don't push your perception about yourself to me.

Thank you.

Aunty Chi, this might just be coming a little tad too late I'm afraid. Your retinue of converts and staunch adherents have taken your initial gospel, hook, line and sinker. I am very sure they won't be reading this from you because they are already in flight and at an altitude impossible to make a detour from.

Such is the weight carried by words uttered or endorsed by a world-renowned figure as you are, to whom a lot of people look up to.

You could be more mindful of your choice of words and how you express your views as they are sure to be influential because they can get taken literally by many who are susceptible to misconstruing what your original intentions are.

Enjoy my siggy


Well said Gaby, her comment now is too little too late.
