Literature › Re: Chimamanda Adichie Nearly Cried Seeing Mother, Grace Ifeoma Read Online Comments by marvinsync(m): 7:38am On Sep 24, 2018 |
Magichand: Renowned Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has expressed how saddened she felt about the backlash her question to Hillary Clinton, an American politician, generated on social media, particularly among Nigerians.
Speaking to a group of young Nigerians during a hangout session in Lagos on Saturday, Adichie said she was surprised about the reaction the question generated, noting that it made her sad seeing her parents read horrible things Nigerians said about her. In an interview with Hilary Clinton, the author, whose work has gained recognition, including winning the Orange Prize award, asked the female politician why she had described herself first as a ‘wife’ before other things on her social media bio.
This question, which Adichie said she considered harmless, brought backlash from Nigerians, including celebrities, many of which were premised on the notion that the reference in her question was a negative example for thousands of Nigerian women who follow the author religiously.
Adiche said she felt sad seeing her parents read the negative comments thrown at her. “watching my mother, I felt close to tears,” she said. Adichie, whose clapback at a French journalist who had asked her if there were libraries in Nigeria warmed her to the hearts of many, said the episode made her begin to rethink how she felt about Nigeria.
When I got back to Lagos and there is just all of this noise and apparently it’s just all of ugliness, people said to me: 'they are writing public letters to you. They said you are a demon; that you want to break up marriages, all kinds of things. I felt. Let me be honest, that is the first time I really started to rethink how I felt about Nigeria.
I have never done that before. Until then, I had been a very dutiful daughter of Nigeria and I am still at that phase where I am thinking about how I really, really feel about Nigeria.”
She however explained she had asked the question for political reasons. She said: “quite frankly, the reason I asked that is that it was a political thing, particularly in the contest of Hilary Clinton a woman who had to change her name and take her husband’s name because people would not vote for her husband if she had kept her name.
A woman that for many Americans they still need to see a woman in domestic terms before they can concede a little power to her politically. We don’t think that of men.”

donsiqua: I Need Serious Advice On The Path To Tow
I am currently confused right now on what to do. I need advice.
I got this job that pays 200k+ a month plus a decent accommodation. Iam very good at my job and I have been planning on opening my own. As a matter of fact I have planned to start buying the equipments needed for the company by October. Although if everything goes as planned the company would begin operation by middle of next year. I also have the intention of combining my job and running the company(it's no big deal). However I ran into this sure link of getting a very high paid job abroad. The link is legit and very sure, all I have to do is accept and I will leave ASAP but my problem here is that my parents wokldolet me step out of the country cause I'm their only son. I needed the abroad job as it would boost my income and enable me achieve what I had planned. If I should follow my initial plan the company would run on a small scale. However, with the fund from the away job I could get enough money to go into full business.
Iam thinking of defying them and go ahead with the abroad plan. But one mind is telling me to hold onto my initial plan.
Please what do I do?
Ps I have already been offered the job abroad all I have to do is to accept it. And I don't have much time left.
I need sincere inputs Negative comments are welcomed too accept the job dude it's ur life , u might not know it now but in ten years ull will ,if u don't accept it now in ten years you'll always be thinking " I could have been abroad and balling oh " and ull be filled with regrets and how can any parent who truly wants the best for their children try to hold them back? |

If he was indeed taken by the military, wouldn't at least someone see them take him away? In this era of super technology? who will see him and speak ? is it the people that were killed or the people that were arrested or those that are too afraid to speak or is it the people that have told FFK what he is telling us today ? |

Bluezy13: And what makes you think that those who give negative remarks above about a single mother, do not know the reason why she is a single mother, to begin with 
It is unwise to call their replies "ignorant" simply because you do not know their reasons for disregarding single mothers.
A couple of single mothers I've met, irrespective of their pride always end up telling me that it was a mistake on their part, and would have avoided it if they could.
I'm not against them, I have no negative remark about single mothers but that doesn't mean I have to term other people's comments as "ignorant" or borne of high delusion. They have their reasons. of course they are ignorant .do they know the woman? do they know why she's single? and just cause uve met some single mothers doesn't give u an ounce of right to generalize or call them "prostitutes" |

i'd rather a woman become a single mother than stay with a deadbeat irresponsible man i'd rather a woman become a single mother than staying with an abusive man i'd rather a woman become a single mother than being miserable in marriage
only highly deluded people would look down on a single mother, without knowing the reason why she is a single mother, to begin with. guy ur the only one that has made sense so far too much ignorant people here it's sickening |

ladiesreject: But the thing pain the woman sha.
But he's right! All single mothers (excluding widows) are prostitutes. In fact, all women who aren't married and have experience any form of sexual pleasure/pain (excluding rape victims are prostitutes).
Again, any widow who has had sex since after her husband's demise without remarrying is a prostitute. #say_no_to_oloshoism u are truly a reject , I swear |

The type of subscription am using will not work on all the apps on my phone so I use thoses tunneling apps (VPN) to make it work.
Even though I use normal connection it might not work because where I work the network there is very bad. oh I see |

clickloaded: We’ve been seeing lots of changes from the WhatsApp messaging app and here we are again with another handful changes we are expected to see any moment from now.
Swipe to Reply: iPhone users already has it and the messaging app is working on bringing it to Android. It will allow you to quickly reply to a message using a swipe right gesture. It essentially means you will no longer need to tap and hold the message to get the Reply button.
Dark Mode: WhatsApp has finally started working on a Dark Mode for both iOS and Android. However, the report does not mention the exact timeline for the Dark Mode to roll-out to WhatsApp. The upcoming dark mode feature will help reduce strain on user’s eyes while using WhatsApp at night or in low-light conditions. It will also help conserve battery on phones that have OLED displays.
Expandable Group Participants List When there are more than 10 participants, WhatsApp shows a More button that will present the full group participants list. This is already enabled in the update.
http://www.clickloaded.com.ng/2018/09/latest-whatsapp-feature-swipe-to-reply.html
What do you think about this updates? they should make it that the group creator will have ultimate power in the group that is , he can't be kicked out by another admin |

keneck1: Hahaha theoretically it gladdens the heart of the politically naive,now let me even ask you what structure does he even have in his ward or even the ward were you are typing this theoretical politics from,anyway let me be frank with you sowore does not have what it takes to win a councillorship election i n his ward which translate that even in his ward he may come a distant third position when results of 2019 presidential elections are declared in his ward,if you doubt me ask people like Okoties of these world the likes of Pat Utomi,Dele Momodu and the rest of them. I won't lie to u , sowore's possibility of being president isn't that high, true ,I mean if there had been an alliance with them moghalu and Femi then it would have increased dramatically but he pulled out. and ur right AAC ( sowore's party) doesn't have a fancy big structure like PDP and apc but u see i don't really care , all I want is a young leader that isn't from apc and PDP to vote for I've stopped tryna be a seer, I'll just find someone and vote and that is what everyone should be thinking , not tryna for see the future just vote for who u believe in and watch how things turn out I've heard people say " I like sowore but I don't think he can win" and I tell them just vote for him then whether u think he can win or not doesn't matter but the fact uve found someone u can vote for afterall how would he even win in the first place if every of his supporter thought that way so overall yes it right sowore might not become president, in fact the possibility of him not becoming president seems high right now but do u like him to vote for him or not? that is what u should focus on |

Romance › Re: Dating Drills! Guys Only! by marvinsync(m): 9:00pm On Sep 17, 2018 |
HARDDON: Reading is boring to us because the average African reader ,reads so poorly, soooooooo slowly, so wrongly. He/she reads at the pace of primary school child ( 80-120 words per minute wpm)
If you didn't know, every school level has word per minute reading grade: this measures how many words you are able to cover in one minute.
Primary School 80-120 wpm Secondary school 140-350 university/PG. 350-800 wpm.
No Nigerian school ever talk(ed) about this. Here is the problem: imagine you, at your age, still being fed with toffees and all other primary school candies. Ofcos, it must be boring.
Yes, this is what happens with our reading. You must make conscious effort, therefore, to correct, break the wrong faulty foundation and build sleek.
How do we then appreciate the fun in Books?
By learning to read the right way, assimate the cool way and sharpen your retentive memory the sleek way.
If you are armed with this, you can cover large vol of books in a day or two. Consume novels in few hours and derive joy in the wonderful world of books.
Your friends would think your are super human. Ofcos, you are! 800 words per minute? 13.3 words per second? ah ah brother take it easy na |
