We are not breaking our backs on a farm, we have all the time in this world to complain about every little thing.

Women went through hell to carve out a place for women in this world, now we have to fight with transwomen to keep it as well.

The people who have made it their calling to always defend this Chimamanda any time she's in the news for one controversy or the other, they're the ones I feel pity for the most.

Because if there's one thing I've always known about Ms. Adichie, it's that every time she delves outside the scope of her literary work and comments on social issues, politics, religion, etcetera...she usually ends up making a complete joke of herself.

And of course, trust her feminist minions who lack their own objective thought like ants on sugar, to always rush to defend her foolishness only to end up making themselves look like complete idiots in the process.

So suddenly trans-women are not women, yet the same Chimamanda will say feminism is about allowing people make their own choices and about respecting those choices... cheesy
Anyway, e don tay wey I know say this woman has very little to no depth.

The other time it was Hillary Clinton she was attacking for her bio on Twitter. She could not respect Hillary's choice to do that either.. LoL!

Imagine having a role model like Chimamanda whose every word you have to defend and explain for people to understand her better. It can't be easy na.
I pity her followers...

She was busy showering her own with love, warmth and care.

it is better to ask questions and seek enlightenment of what you dont know, than jumping into absurd conclusions.

Trying to boycott someone because they say something that offends you is stupidity, where is the freedom of speech these so called liberal institutions claim to represent?

They are a scourge on this earth. Always trying to normalize mental Illness, there's a very simple explanation for gender,

if you're born with a schlong you're a male
If you're born with a slit you're a female

If anything I like the division in their camp, the feminists (another crazy group) vs Trans community. It was fun supporting them until they started joining Women's Sports and now real women have to watch as Trans people obliterate any previous athletic and field record created by real women since the history of mankind. So y'all brought this on yourselves, next time you see a new bandwagon of crazies don't join cos you don't know how the consequences can affect you adversely.
You said it all my brother, there's this ihno adage that goes..

If you see a fowl using the legs to scratch human excreta, dont be too comfortable blc you might just be given the leg when the fowl is killed to eat.

Hello there,
have ever read her books on feminism? Have you ever listened to her speak on it. You obviously haven’t. Here you are summarizing her stand. The word ‘foolish’ does not properly describe you

I consider it the height of stupidity when universities which are meant to promote diversity of views and opinion, engage in the emotionally driven, thin skinned , intellectually UN-rigorous and intolerant cancel culture.

That is how UNILAG was having a lecture on improving public transportation in Lagos but the students decided to cancel the. NURTW chairman because He was MC Oluomo and as far as they were concerned a tout.

Forgetting that He is the source of so much data and analysis on the issue.

What an intolerant generation , who will save us??

Those people who deliberately went to change their gender and now want to be identify as real women or men?
No they nothing but trans.
I only recognized two gender. A male and a female and a union between both.

If she summons you in court to prove the bolded, can you? Some of you just open mouth waaa and comment without reasoning.

To the topic, the problem with being a liberal is where to draw the line. There would be so many crazy ideologies and you just have to keep endorsing them, else you would step on toes.


He's not saying she made the comment to "fight" men now but that has always been her underlying message to women

His comment left me bemused as well. cheesy
But NL has suffered a dearth of real conversations, so nothing surprises me anymore, no matter how absurd.

As for Adichie, what you said is true. What she represents and where she lives and what she does will make it impossible to draw the line anywhere. She'll keep on endorsing and clarifying. Except she doesn't want to grant interviews in the West anymore.

She reminds me of Halima Aden, a popular Muslim model who quit last November. She said modelling as a Muslim was almost impossible and that it was changing her in ways she didn't like. The West changes you and forces you to accept what they believe to be right, even if it's against your own beliefs.

Yes but basic human privileges. Not all like women sport because trans are cheat and fake..
Real feminine women should dominate their sport.
For every action there should be consequences.

She did the right thing. I can only imagine how many times she had to remind them she couldn’t do certain things. Then you get people asking what you had in mind when you decided to model. cheesy
