God1stson: My sister I am looking forward to that day. Most men in positions of authority in Nigeria are suffering from moral depravity, u merit something they won't give unless u bring money or ur are a lady that is ready to submit. I'm proud to say that most things i have gotten by merit came from women without asking 4 anything in return. Most are real women of virtue that will recognize that by helping u that have helped ur depends. But most men in positions of authority are unrepentant sadists quote me I have had a lot of bad experience.

Men are just so insecure and the thoughts of women breaking boundaries is giving them sleepless nights. And more sleepless nights awaits them because the table has turned.
Men needs to stop thinking from their angle of hatred, envy and jealousy. There are a lot of hardworking women out there. Not every woman you see driving a car got it from a man. I know a lot of men who are being fed by their wives and girlfriends.
Nollywood actress Sonia Ogiri has taken to her Instagram page to warn those who like linking a woman’s success to men, WonderTV Media reports.
This came after so much questions and backlash from people concerning her wealth and that of her fellow female colleagues in the industry.
Recall that the actress bought for herself three brand new cars within the space of seven months which the third car was a Rang Rover.
On the Sunday 18th July, 2021 the Nollywood actress made a post on her Instagram page which reads thus;
“Stop tying, connecting a woman’s success, cars, houses, to men. Most of the so called men are hungry these days. 96% of women today are hardworking, I won’t be surprised if some are into yahoo or drugs”.
The post came with a follow-up post which reads;
“Women are winning these days like it or not . Women now have the heart of lions � and kings �. The desire to have our own money is unquenchable. We look beyond men’s money”.
Soon we'd be hearing statements like; "Your Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mrs. ........................
And that day my heart would be gladden with great joy. And I'd leap and thank the Lord for he has delivered us from our oppressors. It's going to be the beginning of a new dawn. May God keep us all alive to witness it IJN.
The other day I saw a picture of a quiz competition and when I looked closely, I discovered that majority if not, all the contestants were FEMALES. Oh! My heart leaped for joy. And I shouted: "When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion, We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter And our tongue with joyful shouting; Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us; We are glad".
Dear nairalanders, don't try to quote me because you all would never understand my pains. There were times I wished I was a male due to the ill-treatment I received from the opposite sex. My heart gladdens whenever I see or hear great things from my gender. For years back, we were the rejected stones. We were written off. I remember when female education was meaningless to the African people. But today the Lord has changed our story.
