MissRaine69:
She has earned the right to point out the archaic patriarchal views that exist in our society. She works , earns way more than her husband and yet does not make a song and dance about it( unlike some women) see it takes a special type of man to appreciate a mind like hers. She is free to speak her mind and you are entitled to disagree both perfectly acceptable.
The day I came to fully respect her was when I listened to her TEd talk on the dangers of a single story.
Absolutely brilliant presentation.

And also much recently, when she called out the French government about their policies in francophone Africa .
She was in a literary meeting in Paris, where she disgraced politely, an ignorant journalist who asked if they were libraries in Nigeria, and then tore into the French govt about their francophone African policies, and with a French minister in attendance.
The minister got up and left in annoyance and she just smiled and continued.

Those two events have made me respect her truly. And both videos are on YouTube.

There is no queen bey. There is a queen chimamanda.

I love her as a proud smart, accomplished and beautiful Igbo woman... But hate her feministic dispositions.
I honestly can't blame her. She is more accomplished than most men and probably more intelligent too , so she sees no rational reason for patriarchy.

She has earned her right to yap about feminism in my opinion.

The problem now is, when chew gum girls depending on their boyfriends for most things, in exchange for their warm little hole ,are also yapping about feminism.

That is just infuriating

Her father is Igbo. We don't need all these Yoruba-Igbo thing. Better leave all these small village Igbo boys who come here to make noise every time. Exposed Igbos/Yoruba won't come to NL shouting all the time. Let the immature ones continue making noise.
It is very unfortunate that you had to dignify that nonsense with a response.

She is won every award in sight including the Commonwealth.

Inducted into the prestigious American academy of arts.

The next big thing for her is going to be the Nobel. She is getting very close.
I am sure she will dedicate it to her mentor, chinua Achebe.

You got it wrong here. The first time Nigeria generated 5,000mw was in the first quarter of 2016. Under the past administration, the highest was 3000mw.

How can senator Anyanwu make such allegations without concrete evidence? That amount is not a joke. What does he mean by "on good authority"?
I am getting tired of Nigeria
This is foolish.

It is better to be safe than sorry.

If the last Senate were this proactive, then maybe dasuki may never have gotten the opportunity to steal as much.

As far as NIgeria is concerned, with respect to rumours regarding corruption, it is better to assume guilty until proven innocent.

This country is too corrupt.

To make a call back to America, in any American embassy in Nigeria or anywhere, American embassy workers need to enter a secure communication room to make a simple call.

That is how critically unsecured information is in today's world.

Yet the Nigerian Senate hosted national information on a foreign server. angry

Nigeria can never develop. The rest of the world will always see us coming.

The most important issue is that it is hosted on a foreign server.

It is on record that billions of dollars of foreign investment that was supposed to come into the oil sectors is not yet flowing in because of the delay in passing of the PIB bill for a very long time.

That scenario is replicated in Every sector.

Policy handicap.

Wow! Quite a passionate view. I like Durotoye too, although I am just hearing this acceleration idea for the first time. Where does Durotoye plan on getting funds for his program? Is he going to raise taxes on the rich, is he going to restructure the MDA'S removing duplication of jobs or is he going to depend on (phantom) foreign investors like this Government's ERGP or Jonathan's transformation agenda.

Maybe he assumes plugging the corruption loopholes will be enough to raise funds as Buhari naively believed.

With a GDP of about 400 billion dollars, government's budget should be between 40 billion and 80 billion dollars annually and not the current 24 billion dollars (8 trillion naira).

To be honest, I would love Sowore2019 to address this important question if he can too.
The amount of billions wasted on poor projects and politicking is enough to get things started.

You don't need infinite sums to activate rubber and cocoa processing plants or create functioning refineries and fertilizer plants where our gas would be utilised instead of being flared away.

What we need is a solid policy framework that is flexible, brilliant and rewarding to both investors and the Nigerian people.

Infact investors would do most of the work. The govt need to just create a binding policy framework and make it worthwhile for investors.

If the govt creates a solid framework, incentivize the Rubber industry for example, in terms of taxes, grants and monopolies, foreign and local investors will flood in to develop that sector for us. And such can be replicated in many sectors at the same time.

So the major hindrance to activating our economy is not funds but smart leadership.

Get the leadership and policy framework right and investors will jump in and do the rest of the work.

South Africans have a GDP/capital of 10000 dollars compared to our 2000 dollars because they have multiple national revenue streams working at the same time.

At the end of the day, as youths, we will have to join forces around the most popular youthful candidate if we are to remove Buhari. Personally, I want a different president. If it is Sowore, Great! If it is someone else Good! The point is that we do not reward failure and also we do not go along with the older generations plan to rule us forever.
Well, at the end of the day I only have one vote .

I can't stop sowore from becoming President if he is destined for it.

Personally, I would have preferred fela durotoye. He seems like a brilliant young chap who understands the concept of national acceleration, which is what Nigeria needs right now.

We need to accelerate. Our population is growing at a pace where buhari change and Jonathan's transformation cannot even make a dent.

We need to activate various sectors of the economy at the same time, instead of all these agricultural initiative today, automotive tommorow and all that crap.

Nigeria need to be a crude oil giant, a cocoa processong behemoth ,a Rubber processing leader, a leader in iron,e.t.c and a service economy at the same time.
That is the only way we can generate enough wealth to fund the kind of development we need.


We need to accelerate. Only fela durotoye has given me what I need.

One thing I know is that, if okorocha competes for the APC primaries with his significant pull in the north and the party structure , he is going to win hands down as their flagbearer.

And with the igbo 2023 project gaining momentum, okorocha is in prime position.

Being a feminist
For the stupìd drama
And some, they just voting because ceeci is their own (igbo).
Nigerian ladies are generally not rude, arrogant and intolerant and I hope people won't encourage bad attitude by voting for ceeci.

I don't care about whoever wins the prize as long as it is not ceeci.

I just like the fact that Yorubas are not bigots.
Yorubas don't play senseless tribalism.
If Yorubas do so, Miracle won't even win the prize because igbos will have divided votes between for other housemates.
Igbos should stop being bitter, envious and jealous of Yorubas. Person wey pass you don pass you tongue
You need help.

I won't be surprised if it is an igbo man that is your employer.
