Or appoint one of the two cows as minister for animal affairs. That will be wiser than appointing ameachi for that position

lmao, those cows will be directly incharge of amaechi

Our president is everybody

On another note, are we sure it's not because of the too much time buhari spends with his cows that's making him have less time for Nigerians? I'm certain he will appoint minister for cows this time around

One dogo yaro with two cows

I think they mean tinubu's habit is causing infertility to Nigerian economy

The man thinks that leading nigeria is same as leading one whatsapp group

Presidency1:

Hawlahscho:

Ilekeh:
You're from Imo. Your governor is owing 8 months salary. Please, charity begins at home.

If your village is burning and Odin is burning, which would you save first?

Don't mistake people's cry of injustice for impoverishment

god forbid me being from imo

Obiodunukwe:
are u sure? that black woman in that village? she looks like she needs more help than Osun people

Hehehe, we are appreciating her for never altering that her blackness with any sort of cream o. As u can always see in her pictures that no make up crosses her face bro. That woman has an engineer, a medical doctor and a lawyer, so there's nothing more she needs o.

Obiodunukwe:
Kasiem, dont you think your mother will need more urgent assistance than Osun people?

my mum's pension are just enough for her. Thanks for the concern sha

There are some of friends that want to share their monthly stipend with the people of osun but don't really know how to get it across to them. Please, is there any public account opened for this innocent workers that have been turned refugees by their government?

Aregbe no see gej wey he go transfer the balmes and pressures to again o. I've said it that pdp will work this time around to get people's goodwill

MrsChima:
Anyone who is lonely and desire companion will be vulnerable at some degree but isolating someone for the sake of protection is wrong!

Women do not need to be treated like eggs and I am sure the change in societal trends would be accepted and appreciated!

it all depends on what u see as isolation madam. Do u think that the man enjoy it as being the only one suffering just to see that one woman relaxing and doing gossip somewhere is made happy? Do u enjoy suffering? All the woman does is to know the latest ware in the market while the man who toils day and night hardly knows the day he bought his last boxers, yet u don't wanna give men some credit? Please, like I posited in the original post, the stage is always open for women to aspire for any height. Have u ever seen a great woman being denigrated here in our Africa?

shockwave91:
did i mention how much i love you? No? Ok. I LLOVE YOU!

lols.

Seun, lalasticlala, mogidi, ishilove and co. I want this to serve as a rejoinder to adichie's recent feminist talk, so help me do the needful.

shockwave91:
Feminism; "what a man can do, a woman can do better". LMFAO!! One of the most degrading sh*t i've ever heard.

Isn't it ridiculous that it's only when women do so called "men things" that they are regarded as "strong women"? When will society celebrate women for what they are? Which is.......women. Women are the primary & sole reason why the family unit survives & that has led the world to what it is today. No man will ever be able to replicate the role a woman performs in the society as a good mother & a good wife. Same goes for men as fathers & husbands.

I guess my point is until we celebrate women for what they are(women) & not what they are not(men), this whole feminism thing is horsesh*t

celebrating the women for what they are has always been a major part of African ethics, that's why they are protected from major stress of toiling to see she gets what to eat. Again, the kind of protection that's given to a widow is never accorded to a widower all because we know how vulnerable they are. So if the women folk thinks they are not comfortable where the society has kept them then they should be ready to face the challenges of change

The western religion has told us to use faith to believe some barefaced contradictions in their religion but would see us as primitive people if we use that same faith to believe in the workability of Gods of our land, why? They would want us to believe in the contradictory teachings of trinity but wouldn't have us believe in our agbala, okike etc?

AFRICAN WOMAN AND FEMINISM.


At my building stage of boyhood, in one of processes of trying to build me, I was privileged to have my dad take me to one of the 'umunna' meetings. Like a first timer in such a marvellous gathering, you can imagine what the feeling was like. Like an uneasy pretender who wouldn't allow people notice the feeling running through his mind, my eyes was just hovering about in a silent and magical manner, in order, to see if people around are noticing this feeling through my composure. What marvelled me the more was seeing one lady amongst that gathering of men, she wasn't just there in a passive manner rather she was being active in critical issues being raised there. Why I felt the way I felt was that prior to that meeting I've always had this feeling that women are always not allow the privilege of sharing the same ground with men. After, the meeting my inquisitive self lured me into engaging my dad on a discussion on why the woman was allowed to enjoy the privilege of appearing in meeting of 'umunna', my dad responded with an analytic question; he asked what makes a man? Which he responded by saying 'responsibility'. So from there he told me that the woman has done so many responsibilities more than a man could do that's why she was regarded as fit to enjoy the privilege of man. The woman has taken the responsibility of staying back at home to see that the father's lineage is not vanished through the 'iha nwanyi' culture, she does work to sustain and cater for her children etc. Like they say if a child washes his hand he joins elders in eating, so the woman has done something which a man does before he could be regarded as a man. After all this from my dad, a new knowledge and perception was added in my world.
The above anecdote is meant to amend some half baked beliefs have of Africa especially when it relates to feminism. In the clime which we found ourselves, it is a well known fact that not every male that can impregnate women are regarded as man. To be a man is always a virtue which stems from the responsibilities which you've been able to overcome. Just like in things fall apart there's a place where someone said something in the gathering of umunna and okonkwo sharply rebuked that person with a sweeping statement that the meeting is for men. It is quite bad though that some male figures have been mistakenly called a man when they've not conquered any responsibility,that's part of the values which we've traded in the name of civilisation. So, for women to get to that level of being seen with that eye which is used to see a man in the African sense, then, they must be ready to face and clear responsibilities.
Feminism is what every reasonable human on Africa should work towards achieving because when we arrive at that stage where everyone is seen with equal eye, then, responsibility becomes shared and balanced. There won't be a world where the men will always be toiling day and night just to be seen as real men and there won't be a world where they women will only be the 'oriakus' of the world. All hands must be on deck this time around. It baffles to see a man maintaining his #200 while the woman who virtually does nothing maintains her with #10000.
On another note, the women folk have recreated themselves in a inferior manner, in that they only see themselves as normal when they are made of artificial. A lady can hardly believe she's fit to walk in front of men when she is in her natural state. The modern African woman has been programmed to see herself as manageable only when she is on make-ups and other artificial things, so she spends time doing all she could to get all those artificial things that can make her appear as a manageable. This has gone beyond physical appearance now; the normal African woman now lives and thrives on artificial behaviours just to be seen as a lady like fela said in one of his songs. How can a person who wants to be taken serious not take herself serious in the first place? In Africa we've always had the stage open for everyone to be what he/she wants to be but we don't push people into the stage.

They are watching obj's porn with daughter inlaw

This people would be praying to have a person like gej in the next world. Their youths wouldn't mind trekking from there to our country just for God to revive their buhari-like president with the spirit of gej. leaders can do and undo, nothing will happen. But gej just tried being democratic and some fools are ranting here on how they would've slapped gej from the confines of their poor village had gej done anything like a real African leader

Danjuma, u forgot to add ojukwu as the cause nah

Op, the issue is that okonjo iweala made great economic impacts in the country for people who are willing to tap from the policies she created. The only problem is that we have more lazy people than hardworking people in the country, how would an almajiri in street have the economic policies from okonjo manifest in his life? Before one would expect progress that person should be able to balance himself for the gains of the economy. The fact remains that we have more rich people than before. It was quite rare to see an okad man build a house before but now okada men build houses, we no longer count wealth with cars unlike before when it is rare to see a youth driving a car. Most of the people condemning okonjo here are richer than they were 6 years ago but they would rather say that it is their pastor's prayer that helped them. Forget about the rantings.

Una wan bury gbawe here?

Wike should sue igbokwe so he would come and prove how he killed innocent people. This is beyond political propaganda as it is pure character assassination.
