Literature / Re: Chimamanda Adichie Upset About Hillary Clinton's "Wife" Bio On Twitter by Fadedjeans: 9:28pm On Apr 23, 2018 |
Xisnin: And how doesn't the society benefit when a woman calls herself wife? The point isn't whether or not the society benefits. Like someone said earlier a world where people aren't described by various appendages is most desirable; just be who you want to be. And rightly so, Clinton chose to agree with Adichie on this one. Another might have disagreed and it still wouldn't make them less of who they are. I think the whole point is to be objective in the end regardless of whatever values or ideologies we try to promote |

Safiaaa: I totally understand. As for the pictures, I thought about posting one of mine but I decided against it. Seeing what already had been uploaded. That's the complex I know majority out there are struggling with. But as you have said, embrace your blackness as best as you can. Cheers. |
Romance / Re: Dear Nigerian/black Beautiful Women by Fadedjeans: 2:36pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
Safiaaa:. Okay, I'll give an instance. The contoured noses, that's one example. I'm not saying that I have a problem with makeup, but that's not what the average black woman looks like. So I'm saying if you're going to support your article with pictures, bring it as close to home as possible. Post pictures of women with their 'big and broad noses' and help them understand that they are beautiful regardless. That's one way to deal with the problem. If I were to encourage my fellow women and then I see those pictures you have put up, I'm going to post pictures that I feel are similar. Not one that reflects what I truly look like. That's what I meant by society's standard and that they were unrelatable. 3 Likes |

@op, even though I know this thread was meant to encourage black women, who often times are criticized for their looks. I feel that to the average black woman, those pictures you posted are unrelatable. That's just society's standard of what beauty or should I say 'black beauty' is. Perhaps an article without pictures would have sufficed. Believe me when I say that to the average black woman who has ever felt bad or insecure about her looks, those pictures are totally unrelatable. 2 Likes |

I'm happy you're able to see that things are changing for the better. It might not always be so but if you're able to acknowledge the little good things, then that's all that matters. |

Very staged. Trying to pull a beyonce and jay-z. If they have truly reconciled, it'd do her well to keep their relationship from the public. He should know that as well. 33 Likes 3 Shares |

frustratedrat: You see, these are things you can research on. There's actually a competition going on right now(common wealth writers). You have to write a fictional story of about 5000 words maximum. You can enter it, entry closes 1st of November. Your life might make a good story. Write about it but try to be as distinct as possible. Use different times, locations etc even if you're writing about yourself. |

I started writing a journal about my life, I hope to publish it someday. I figured if I could channel my energy into writing, it'd take my mind off my fears and insecurities. Your life seems interesting enough, trust me, even with all the negativity. And you write well, you're witty. You'll be fine. 1 Like |
Crime / Re: Caleb University Student Beaten To Death By His Baby Mama (Photos) by Fadedjeans: 1:22pm On Sep 27, 2017 |
Ignorant people everywhere. She could have hit him somewhere delicate and fragile. This is why men rarely speak up in cases of domestic violence because they'd be seen as weak. The tables have turned this time around and it is equally as bad. I hope they investigate his death and if she's indeed guilty, her ass should be locked up and the keys thrown away. 2 Likes |

IamSINZ: I figured. Big sigh... I don't envy you. I'm a very 'unsocial' media person and if I ever have to put in as much effort as you do to fit in on any social media platform, then I'd leave. That's why I'm never really here nor there on nairaland. There are people I admire on nairaland, but a follower is the closest I'll ever be to them in terms of friendship. It's easier that way. |

IamSINZ: With all the threads in your name, surely you must feel like a king . You shouldn't really care though. See it as a comic relief, especially when people lose sleep over something you're unapologetic about. I guess you've become very cautious after what happened between you and your group. In truth you shouldn't really care about what people think or say about you, this is just the internet after all. Unless you feel guilty or are a conformist. |

The ministry is moving. Hopefully like nairaland, they garner enough publicity across other social media platforms to promote whatever new single, album, tour or project they are working on. But if it's real, they shouldn't fail to entertain us with more videos like this. |

Literature / Re: Chimamanda Adichie: A Female Politician Was Judged Harshly For Stealing As Woman by Fadedjeans: 3:38pm On Sep 22, 2017 |
Ore000: Help me ask her. I like her a lot but sometimes her opinions come across as irrelevant and unobjective. If she's saying this to please a certain audience, then it doesn't make sense. Most people reacted the way they did because of the enormity of the crime she committed and not because she is a woman. There are proofs that she embezzled and misappropriated public funds and she has to be accountable for it. 2 Likes |

DarkRebel69: Just because you think so doesn't make it 'true'. The example you gave of the basketballer doesn't relate to this at all. It's correct to use the adjective tall to qualify him 'cause obviously he is tall. However, calling her simple minded, too average and ordinary isn't the truth. That's just your own perception of her. I'm not attacking you ' cause you have a different opinion from hers, but because instead of just countering her opinion like you did, you went further and called her names. Attack the message and not the messenger. If for anything, I think because she was able to come out to state her opinion, albeit a bit flawed, as you rightly pointed out, she is not simple minded but only more open to learn. 2 Likes 1 Share |

DarkRebel69: Very unnecessary. You don't have to be condescending to sound smart and intellectual. Fyi, it's okay to be ''too simple, too average, too ordinary''. Not everyone can be overly intelligent or extraordinary. She put up a harmless topic, and was open to different opinions. There were other people that had different opinions but didn't resort to name calling. 4 Likes 3 Shares |
