once naija women can achieve equal responsibilities

domestic abuse
sexual harassment
rape

and other shiits will cease to exist in Nigeria.

no sensible guy can beat his gf or wife when the lady is independent ,when he does the lady would leave but presently naija girls and women are ready to die in that relationship or marriage as long as they are getting something in return.


sexual harrassment

when you're rich, who wanna harass you? except you're using it for blackmail


how many rich ladies have been raped in this country?
Rape builds off of having a general disrespect, and disregard for that person. Also, remember that rape can happen between spouses which is rarely mentioned.

. That's the hypocrisy we are talking about. So they can easily adjust themselves to be called feminists, but found it difficult to change their mentality in respect of finance? So how do we reconcile the two?
The proper response would be to try and unteach yourself the mentalities that you're taught, when you realize that they are wrong or a bit fishy, but some Nigerian women aren't willing to change because they see a benefit.

they think because they're are women everybody should just start bowing for them, put them in posts where they're not qualified to be. work hard they won't they'll start giving excuses
Throughout history women have experienced many forms of oppression coming from their male counterparts. So now, in this day and age where that oppression isn't as prevalent as it was before, some women feel as if they want to turn the oppression towards men and reverse history.

But to be honest, that is not what should be happening. We want men and women to be seen as equal and none greater than another. Equality is the way.

JONNYSPUTE:
Why is it that in Nigeria,the feminists wants equal opportunities, equal rights but once you mention equal responsibilities, they all avoid it,is there anything they are not telling us? Until any of them clear me on this,I won't take them serious.
An interesting theory that my close Nigerian friend had explained to me was that, when you grow up in a society where you are taught that the man is the sole provider of the family you keep that mentality. Then, times start to change but that mentality is still there. You know that you can be financially independent but you don't want to.

everything about Nigeria, Africa is usually backwards. There are no feminists in Nigeria except Chiamana adichie, they only exist on social media.
Africans, generally, really need to take their time and educate themselves before forming their opinion because once they have that opinion they will never let go. Most Africans (especially Nigerians) have this whole "I am right, and you are wrong, and always will be" type of philosophy.

Nigerian feminists only believe in gender equality that excludes equal financial responsibilities
Like I said, if you don't support all aspects of gender equality then you shouldn't deem yourself a feminist. In my staying in Nigeria, and speaking with a lot of Nigerians, I've come to find that Nigerians tend to have the wrong idea about many different things.

fem·i·nism

NOUN
the advocacy of women's rights and liberation on the basis of the equality of the sexes.

If you do not believe that both men and women should be deemed equal in all aspects of life then you are not a feminist.
RomanceRe: What Is Your Turn Off In A Guy by Ivorianaija(f): 12:59pm On Mar 25, 2018
My turn off would usually be when I see signs of lack of respect. He won't make eye contact in conversation, or he'll be looking at his phone. He may even interrupt me while I'm speaking which I feel is very disrespectful. Respect, and regard is all I need.
RomanceThe Full Meaning Of All Letters In LGBTQIA+ (there's More) by Ivorianaija(op): 12:27am On Mar 25, 2018
Most Nigerians aren't very fond of lesbians (L) and gays (G) but I'll get to that later. Did you know the "+" in LGBT+ is LGBTQQIIAA

L - lesbian- a woman sexually and romantically attracted to women

G- gay- a man who is sexually and romantically attracted to men

B- bisexual- a person who is sexually and romantically attracted to both men and women

T- transgender- a person who was born as one gender physically, but has a chemical inbalance of testosterone and estrogen

Q- queer - anyone who is lgbtqia+

Q (2) - questioning- somebody who is not sure about their sexuality

I- intersex- someone who is born with characteristics of both genders (i.e testosterone and estrogen, penis and vagina, ovaries and sperm etc.)

I (2) - intergender- someone who doesn't choose to aesthetically identify with either gender.

A- asexual- someone who does not have sexual attraction towards either nor any genders; keep in mind that asexuals still have romantic attraction/aesthetic attraction which means they are attracted to someone's personality and the way they're face may look but not in a sexual way.

A (2) - allies- an ally is somebody who is not lgbtq+ (straight/heterosexual) but supports and advocates for their rights.

There are some levels to all of these and there are some things that I decided not to go into depth in general, and this is pretty surface. Feel free to ask questions about each sexuality, but just don't spread hate.

Au revoir!
RomanceRe: See What A Feminist Has To Say About A World Without Men by Ivorianaija(f): 12:02am On Mar 25, 2018
Real feminism is being able to respect a man and acknowledge them, but also expecting the same from men: respect, and acknowledgement.

Your question is too vague and clumsy. Trying to answer it will need a decade. But for a more clearer answer, virtually everything is wrong with the country.

Even you asking the question is adding to the problem bedeviling this country and you've succeeded in adding another 10% to her sorrows. How can you arrive a country for an assignment (even if you bring your own ebola like Sawyer) and you first port of call is Ashawo pavilion?

I regret we don't have Immigration Service in this Country they suppose to fetch you out and through you over the shores.

You have to admit, the definition of romance in Nigeria is a bit off, isn't love a part of society?
RomanceWhat Is Currently Wrong With Nigerian Society? by Ivorianaija(op): 8:46pm On Feb 17, 2018
Upon my arriving to Nigeria (due to the circumstances of my job) all I hear about is runs girls and "ashawos" and sorts of other things. It seems to me like Nigerian society is just at a pause for the moment. I'm not from here so I can't exactly judge them for there actions, because I don't know their inner struggles.
So, before I make any judgment I would like to learn from the people themselves.
What do Nigerians think of Nigeria's societal climate?

Dont accept homosexual, cause if you do you will die horrible and then you suffer horribly eternity to enternity.

You can start celibacy and live your life for God than to live a disgusting life.


To those encouraging him to embrace homosexual, may your sons be homosexuals
In my coming to Nigeria the climate of the country just seems sort of negative towards new or different things or ideologies. I just want these 3 months to pass by quickly so I can get out of this country.

People think I am partial because I love lesbians and detest gays.

Don't think I am judging you because I already did.
All homosexuals will go to hell but lesbians will not because they are naturally wired to be at least bisexual.

Sadly, you can't change who you are. It's ingrained in your chromosomes.
You were predestined to be amongst the condemned.

Just enjoy your life and embrace who you are while you await your judgement in the afterlife.
I would like to see you try and justify your thoughts and opinions without using the magical book of tales called the bible

Ladies, what are some habits of Nigerian men specifically that are just odd or weird?
In my coming to Nigeria in the past few months I began to notice that my newly found Nigerian friends had many complaints about their husband or boyfriends behavior. They spread those feelings towards other men around them exclaiming "men are trash" or "men will always be men" and it was interesting to find that many women in Nigeria have this mindset.
So, what do you think?
RomanceRe: Why Do Women Have Big Tummy by Ivorianaija(f): 4:16pm On Feb 11, 2018
EsotericMonk:
@XhosaNostra I like your feminist enthusiasm, however permit me to point out one or two things.
>The tummy is a loose area of flesh which is expansible
>In persons who have a tendency to gain weight, most of the weight gain is distributed around the tummy in what we call truncal obesity
>By nature, women have a higher tendency for this, due to their hormones
>The fastest route to tummy laxity for women of reproductive age is pregnancy.
> However, if a woman so desires, she can return her tummy to its pre-pregnacy state by dedicated work out and exercise. Sadly, a good number of our ladies are too lazy to do this, and they console themselves with the wrong notion that celebrities with hot abs had surgical reduction.
Actually to correct you on your last point, when a woman has a child or children there isn't much time for other activities pertaining to her own self needs.
