My love for her is like copied assignments, I just can't explain 'em. smiley
This lady is always making sense, but the typical Nairalander is blinded by culture.
Attack her and she keeps going viral.
Keep on hating and she keeps gracing the fp.

Have you ever asked yourself who made those culture you live to fulfill?
Did they fall from the sky?
Can't they be amended?

Feminism is simply, EQUALITY OF THE BOTH SEXES! I'm a guy and I support it 100%. Don't cheat me and I'd never cheat you.
It's as simple as that. No one chose which sexes they were born with, so why should one be superior?

If you're quoting me, please make some sense. That's all I have to say!

But sex are not equal, the sooner you wake up and smell the coffee the better for your kids. Cause you will do well to let them know their strength and weaknesses. Saying a man is equal to a woman, you are only setting them up for disaster.

lol true equality is not possible because we are not equal but if u say equal opportunities sure why not , but u see there's a lot of bastardising going on , and feminism can't truly exist in Nigeria because a lot of women in Nigeria rely on men to survive and live a hoeish life because of the situation of things and a lot of men understand this live that way that's why all guys say u " make money and women will come " that saying is undoubtedly true but also implies women follow money and are hoeish which is also true


so feminism will spoil a lot of livelyhood for women cause it means they'll actually have to work


so until Nigeria develops to the point where women can survive independently feminism is trash

You're advising the young lady to take her eurocentric views to Europe hence our culture doesn't permit it, yet we are all copying European culture.

We have all succeeded in copying the western culture and now we can't even tell our story, we let others tell our story.

African culture has long been eroded so let us kuku continue with the western culture.


Man and woman are all equal
Man help your wife to do chores
Woman contribute your own part of juniors school fees and feeding money.
Woman contribute your own part of the house rent

i hope when you are married and give birth to both boys and girls and they attain the age of 15 you will ask the girl child to wash the cars, fetch water, weed the grasses, do all the hard jobs that we feel are meant for guys...
when you beat both of them for wrongs, i hope you will allow the male child cry and not shut him that he is a man and doesnt have to cry.
i hope your husband gives equal amount of pocket money given to the girl child to the boy
and finally, you have to share the responsibilities equally with your husband ranging from rents, bills, school fees, shopping bills etc
if you are not here to monitor all these then your feminism claim is false

Oh and there is more,
If a woman rapes a man or is convicted for sexual assault, she will be also sentenced to 15 years or more in prison (just like Bill Cosby).

If a women losses custody of a child in court, she will be sending money to the man for the upkeep of the child.

In the military women will have to meet the same height and weight requirements to join the military.

Women and men should compete against each other in sports (sports like tennis should also have women play 5 sets instead of 3).

Women should be the ones to keep the family safe and defend against armed Robbers.

Women should stop crying like babies and and start hiding the pain like men.

After all we are all Equal grin

Since feminism wouldn't bridge them, would you now let a woman be higher than you?
There are no doubt a good number of ways they are superior too. Won't you hold onto that to say they are the superior sexes?
nobody is even dragging superior sex with women they re just being insecure .most of the ladies that tag themselves feminist are actually misandrist.
feminism goal is too liberate women from economic and political embargo placed on them .and give them level playing field with men.
the goal of feminism is not fight for supremacy btw both sexes. nature has place both sex to the position it belongs even within plant and animals. what each sexes needs to do his to respect its position and not overreach.

Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was a guest on BBC pidgin recently, and she pointed out what feminism means to her.

Her main point, according to her, she wants people to start talking about how men and women are equal, and how women would not be deprived of things. 

See some of her points and watch the video below....

1. Men and women are equal, simple
2. Women to inherit properties
3. Nigerian women to have the right to give their foreign husband's Nigerian citizenship
4. Men to help their wives with domestic chores

Watch the video here; https://www.amagitesblog.com/2018/10/chimamanda-adichie-speaks-pidgin-english-reveals-what-feminism-means-to-her.html


Men are born equal but few are more equal than others. This crap about men and women be equal is completely delusional. I guess this joker and willing tool of European liberals called Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is married. I wonder what stops her from transplanting her husband into her father's family as a member of Adichie clan. Feminists are baby killers period.

Let's not go too far, pls spot where a woman contributed in these numbered aspects.

1. The pc/phone you are using to type these (hardware)

2. The computer software (Windows/Android)

*Although a woman wrote a computer program language.

3. The electric Cables connected from the power station to your house.

4.The restoration of power in case of power failure.

Before we even got here today men are the ones that have protected and kept the human race to this day. Who went out to hunt for animals and source for food during the cavemen Era, who invented the weapons to make hunting easier.
You may say women are responsible for multiplying the human race, what good is a womans womb if there is no man?
And what good is a baby if there is no one that can protect and provide for that baby?
You think a woman can do that?

You should understand what the word "superior" means before you make use of it.

Your culture once had twins being thrown into the forbidden forest, the Osu caste system that ruined many lives, forced female genital mutilation, child marriage, breast ironing, torture of widows and sexual assault.

Culture has changed before. Shitty aspects of it have been thrown out. Elements that violate the fundamental human rights of others are shite.

People that blindly cling to "it's the culture" have wasted the funds invested in their education.
You just mentioned the evils of culture but you failed to mention the good parts of it, why ? Is it not in culture you find greetings and respect ? But what has feminism from the west achieved for us here ...are things like lesbianism not products of feminism ? Please before talking, think .

It's a lack of intelligence that will keep feminism out of Africa, just as it has kept other progressive movements like science, technology and economic advancement beyond the reach of the typical dimwitted sub-intelligent ape descended Africans.

So to you, Africa is not intelligent. All your ancestors with their environmental friendly technology, arts and crafts that were stolen by the white man, they are unintelligent. Finally, our mind as Africans has been reset indeed. The oyinbos have sent us to the base of entire human development and your education has an individual has given you an eye to see that your race is unintelligent. I don't have anything to argue, I only want to salute your intelligence as an African.

They already are but in Nigeria they are told not to tell anyone so that they don't hurt their husband's fragile ego. My older sister is married to some Nigerian loser who has no job. She is single handedly carrying all the financial burdens of her family. Stop making it look like all Nigerian married men are providers because many are not. Many are liabilities!

U should say ur own culture cos Feminism has already fitted the African culture as a whole not to talk of the Nigerian culture. And whereas the Europe n America where you think her feminism views would fit has not really be able to accept Feminism into its culture. That's the fact dude cos patriarchy does not only exist in the African culture but it's still a huge domain in the diaspora world.
