Woe betides the dog that takes succor in a Calabar man's house, hoping to hide from the storm - the unique aroma of Dog-meat pepper soup and Nkwobi is soon divulged.

Whilst the world was basking in the euphoria of Christmas, a few Nigerian ladies were venting their discontent against the popular African moniker - Father Christmas. They'd argued that the name should be left as Santa Claus. In their words "Father Chrismas was gender biased." Some of these wannabe feminist even mock the veracity of Jesus' ministry, since he didn't have a female disciple, he is unworthy of their followership. "I'm a modern, independent and trendy lady!" we often hear them say, wagging their tongue with reckless abandon.

The Feminism movement ab-inito was about the inclusion of the feminine gender in our collective patrimony; she deserves the same opportunities bequeathed to her male counterpart, she had the right of suffrage, she was never to be tagged a second citizen, e.t.c. Feminist like Chief Oluwafunmilayo Ransome-Kuti in the spirit of patriotism to this course once led a protest against a local ruler in Abeokuta - Sir Ladapo Ademola II, they kicked him off his seat for his unfair treatment to the market women. Greater educational opportunities for women and girls was brought to fore by Madame Ransom-Kuti, without leaving out the enforcement of sanitary regulations, provision of health care and other social services for women. A far cry from what our Twitter feminist are up to in our days.

Even the global media mogul who is also a feminist - Oprah Winfrey has a girls-only school in South Africa dubbed Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. The edifice had cost her an arm and a leg, all in pursuance of the education-for-a-girl-child movement. But what we've here in obodo-Nigeria are some loose cannons flapping their buttocks on Instagram, spewing venom into thin air. Rather than helping the girl child, their argument has always been about who should wash the dishes and cook the meals. They've loads of hurts from the past they are not willing to face, hence such repugnant energy metamorphose into psuedo activism. Like the first law of Thermodynamics: Energy can neither be destroyed nor created, energy can only be changed from one form to another.

These wannabe feminist can do everything without a Man, because all men are scum, all men are snakes, all men are dogs. . .they are independent ladies until a cockroach or rat comes visiting, our brother Nnamdi saves the day!

Seek healing.
Help the girl child.
Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you.

Nigerian feminist are just a bunch of ill mannered women that can't keep a relationship, hence they direct their frustration on men. They have a general motto: All men are scum. including their various fathers.
