toxic feminist/ 9ja version of feminism Farfalla:to be frank he has a point. the other day i was at a barbershop and there was a lagos radio talk show with a 'feminist' ranting i actually got so irritated listening to her i asked them to change the channel , but they were already triggered and insisted on leaving it all the lady did was blame men and complain and shutdown any male who called in. and at one point - she dropped the line - well that is the mans job! - which contradicted everything she had been complaining about the men were all listening and also getting riled. so for anyone both male and female who has never actually been exposed to what feminism is, talk show hosts like this are selling a narrative - it is about blaming men for not doing their share in the house, while simultaneously telling same men it is their job and their job only to bring home the dough - and at the same time discounting or disregarding the chores that men do around the house. in the days before the flood , it was a common argument on this platform where 'feminists' would argue that the mans money is for the family, while their money is for them to spend as they wish. basically emancipation without responsibility. and that unfortunately seems to be how a large number of women in the third world see feminism - as some sort of get out of jail card where you get get the benefits without the responsibility and expect to cherry pick responsibilities |

GloriousGbola:I think you've pretty much described toxic feminism, which is very different from Nairaland's idea of feminism. While I agree with you that some women do take it too far (I'm reminded of a boss I once worked with), the word "feminist" is the most abused word online. Any single woman with an opinion on anything, even politics, is a feminist. When these fellows open their mouth waaaa to talk about feminism, they don't usually refer to the toxic version of it. To them, it usually just refers to a state in which a well-to-do single woman happens not to be so desperate for male validation or marriage. They don't necessarily refer to a woman who hates men or a woman who expects men to bend backwards to accommodate her selfishness or delusions. Do you recall how Rita Dominic was considered a "feminist" before she got married? Genevieve, a quiet lady who doesn't even open her mouth to talk about men is usually labelled a feminist. Reason? She's rich and single. |

Konquest:Hey, you good? So it's this man? I thought it was dismissed as a rumour. People even faked social media accounts of him, he had to even come out and say he wasn't even on social media. Yes he's rich allegedly, but that doesn't mean he has taking care of his son. Being a deadbeat, has nothing to do with money. Has he publicly claimed the boy, have they even been sighted together? Has he dismissed Linda's allegation? |

1Sharon:@1Sharon, I'm doing great right here. He sure is... NOT a false rumor. Sholaye is the subject matter here... lol. Just a quick note: Typically the social media is filled with a lot of vile trolls and fake accounts created to fleece you of your money... Especially the elderly folks who not knowing the security implications of cyberspace just get carried away by pressing all kinds of Weblinks and visiting all kinds of secure and unsecure Websites on their mobile devices. Once you become a public figure, expect to have several fake or cloned social media accounts even if you don't use social media... it's really a bad situation. I remember full well that the 1986 Nobel laureate winner, Professor Wole Soyinka, the former President Obasanjo, and several prominent folks worldwide have had fake Facebook, Twitter (now X), IG accounts and more created for them and these FIRST two men I mentioned are NOT even on the X social media platform according to the public alerts they sent out few years back! Indeed, I typically refer to someone as a "deadbeat" for being LAZY because they try to avoid paying their debts. Deadbeat dads who don't pay child support because they are just LAZY to get a job or set up a business enterprise. So, yes you made a valid point there about a "deadbeat" being not necessarily about the absence of riches, but a "deliberate neglect" of a child. Aha! Sholaye initially accepted the boy in private and he visited Linda's parents which Linda also confirmed on her blog post, but his grouse was with Linda who allegedly was giving out some specifics to her followers in the public domain about their most intimate lives starting from when they first met in 2015 at a luxury hotel called Wheatbaker on Ikoyi Island in Lagos State. Linda also was aged 35 and Sholaye was 37 when they FIRST met. As of that time, she was getting worried that age wasn't on her side and I can say without a shadow of doubt that because of the maternal instinct, she deliberately got pregnant because time was ticking while she was headed for the "dreaded" 40 years of age and beyond. Some of those actions and inactions ticked Sholaye off and he began to distance himself emotionally from her. I absolutely AGREE with your summations in your last paragraph that Sholaye has to make amends and "publicity" identify more with his son who is now 6 years old as of 2024. If he doesn't do that, the boy will get set in his ways and thinking and begin to RESENT his father. Sholaye is actually an easygoing guy, BUT he felt that by getting pregnant, Linda was moving too fast down the marriage route without that emotional connection OR attraction between both of them. As it turns out, both he and Linda (who is now 44) were NOT meant to be married. Linda especially has to EMBRACE the situation and NOT seek to poison the son's mind towards the father further after she went ahead to give the boy her own family name, which is a "strange" thing to do in a multicultural world and a ridiculous attempt to spite Sholaye. I expect both of them to revert the little boy's surname to his father's surname ASAP. I wouldn't even mind if my woman keeps her maiden name (surname) after getting married for professional reasons OR uses a compound surname (her's and mine), but there's something MOST men won't negotiate away... and that is having their biological children bear their family surnames. You take care. Ciao. ![]() |

Konquest:Folaye abi wetin denied responsibility for the pregnancy. Did not pay ante-natal fees. Did not visit after the baby was born. Does not pay school fees. Does not pay upkeep fees. So,if na your sister, you go still give am the name of a man who say no be him get the pikin? |
| Re: Linda Ikeji: I Didn't Change My Son's Surname, He Has Always Answered Ikeji by Ogbuu101: 6:35pm On Jun 06, 2024 |
Konquest:Most of the things you're saying are figments of your imaginations. Give us a link where d said Sholawetin visited Linda's parents. If he as little as does that,there's no way the child's will be named the maternal family's name. No grandfather wants to have such a situation in his hands. As little as "na me pregnant am oo,but I no wan marry her" is enough. Then even if its 2k,send once in a while. But if u deny responsibility for the pregnancy and don't pay upkeep,will they force you? |

Ogbuu101:I've just logged in and saw this mention but I originally didn't want to reply you before NOW because your unwise comments in the first two paragraphs of your post are insulting! Is it too difficult for young people like you to read and assimilate other people's views without being impulsive? Do I sound like a man who spins things out of "figments of his imagination" like you unwisely posted here? It's ONLY to prevent other NL readers from being misinformed by your post in the first two paragraphs that I'm making a reply to this. Second, I CLEARLY gave "2 Weblinks" in my FIRST post to 1Sharon on this thread which you also quoted above on this same thread page but it's very obvious YOU didn't click and read them properly otherwise you wouldn't have incorrectly made those irritating comments in the first two paragraphs of your post. The second Weblink has a full EXPOSE by the young lady (Linda) who said Sholaye Jeremi actually came to see her PARENTS and was cool with her father. It's all in the 8th paragraph of that 2nd Weblink I gave out. I'm gonna quote excerpts of it BELOW in bold and you can go back to that second Weblink again and READ the full sob story by Linda. "Around when I was about three months pregnant, he did come to see my parents and actually became very cool with my dad. They were literally exchanging Whatsapp messages every day. He later agreed to a traditional wedding which he didn’t follow through and then he switched. He began to treat me with so much hate and aggression that I and my family had to cut him off completely." |

Mindlog:That's interesting but also an awkward and strange part of the Ibo culture at the same time. In multicultural settings where most global societies are patriarchal, a child born from a multiethnic parentage should logically bear the father's family name. We have a clash of cultures here where the young lady who is now aged 44 has given her now 6-year-old son her own family name while the real father is still alive living in the same vicinity with them right on Ikoyi Island, in Lagos. |

Konquest:Lol. I actually don't believe he did any of this. This is just Linda trying to make a situation seem prettier than it is. These are all Linda's words. He still hasn't said anything and there aren't leaks or stories that back up what's she's saying. It's obvious a baby was her first priority with him and she's gotten it. If she was intentful about her relationship with him, she should have made him claim her, court and marry her properly before getting pregnant. I still insist, he isn't owed the right to pass on his surname if he has washed his off hands of his son. It's justified for the boy to bear a name of people that claim and Iove him. |
| Re: Linda Ikeji: I Didn't Change My Son's Surname, He Has Always Answered Ikeji by Mindlog: 9:03am On Jun 07, 2024 |
Konquest:I am Igbo and very comfortable with that culture, If marriage is not in the card. My community practices same. Did you know, Davido had to traditionally marry Chioma before their son could be buried as an Adeleke because the boy was customarily an Ejiofor, belonged to Chioma's family as the time of death? If a man intends being a baby daddy, it is wiser to restrict getting a woman within his tribe or tribes that aligns with his when it comes to procreation outside marriage. |

1Sharon:Sholaye Jeremi just lost his 74-year-old mother in the month of May 2024. He has a lot on his hands now with this family name drama from coming from Linda's end. I wonder if Sholaye's mother ever met the little boy before she passed on. Read more BELOW: =>https://guardian.ng/issue/oil-magnate-sholaye-jeremi-loses-mother/ I did read online from a mainstream media source where Sholaye through his media aide denied all the negative news and fake social media posts about his relationship with Linda and he stated that he has nothing to do with her while debunking the rumor that he owns an Instagram handle in the Weblink right below. =>https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/09/28/linda-ikejis-alleged-significant-other-speaks-out/ In any event, reading her sob story in te second of two Weblink I provided in my last post to you on this thread, I absolutely think she deliberately got pregnant, and now that things didn't pan out for her in terms of marriage to Sholaye, she's been taking subtle jabs at him with her son bearing her family name. But as things stand from what I have gathered before today, in Ibo culture, if you get one of their girls pregnant and you don't get married to her, then the child belongs to the girl's family until you pay the bride price and get married to her. That CULTURAL clash is on another level entirely tbh. Lol. |
| Re: Linda Ikeji: I Didn't Change My Son's Surname, He Has Always Answered Ikeji by Konquest: 10:46am On Jun 07, 2024 |
Mindlog:That's an insightful feedback. An Ejiofor... Is this practice a general one in all core Ibo states and communities? I ask you this question because I know right from several years back that even a girl getting pregnant outside marriage is vehemently frowned upon by Ibo families and elders, and a few Ibo and non-Ibo social commentators have said this is a major part of what is fueling the so-called "baby factory" menace leading to especially pregnant Ibo girls giving birth and then selling the babies for adoption or whatever the baby selling cartel wants to use them for. Genevieve was 16 years when she got pregnant and raised her girl though because she has enlightened parents who of course would have been dissapointed at her as of that period. Second, before David Adeleke (His paternal grandmother is incidentally from Akwete in Abia. I remember full well that she passed on in 2009 because I saw the Obituary publication in 2009 and Akwete was written as her ancestral home) got married to Chioma from Imo State, I'm aware that his first son was bearing the Adeleke surname. He was widely known as Ifeanyi Adeleke even though he has a Yoruba first name. I've seen a few other kid's of this kind of inter-ethnic relationships that did NOT lead to marriages who bear their fathers' family names on official documents and in real life. In any event, as long as a child isn't abondoned for being born out of wedlock, it's not a bad idea for a young woman and her family to raise a child if the alleged father is NOT financially able OR deliberately stays away (which is the MOST unkind thing to do). I've seen where with love and moral support from a young woman and her relatives, a child born out of marriage is able to grow up to make a significant impact out of meaning out of life. However, kid's without that group support from their parents and extended family move through life based on punishing trials and errors while running into major turning points that could turn out positive or negative. |

Konquest:It's obvious. Their relationship was just superficial. Well, if he's not acknowledging his son, why should Linda give him his surname, when she's the sole caregiver? If he wants to be a deadbeat, he can do that. But he's not entitled to pass on his name. |
| Re: Linda Ikeji: I Didn't Change My Son's Surname, He Has Always Answered Ikeji by Konquest: 2:20pm On Jun 07, 2024 |
1Sharon:Indeed... But in all these circumstances, these two should remember that an impressionable child is involved here. No matter how upset a man feels about his wife (who he is about to di orce) or baby mama, he should NEVER punish his child or starve that child of fatherly love because the child would definitely ignore his/her father's needs and wants when they become aged (over 70 years) and they even transfer that aggression to their own biological kid's as well when they get married. The whole story just reinforces the need in everyone that thoughts are things and also to live in near-absolute harmony with one another. By the way, I found the original link of Linda's expose on Sholaye on her blog. It's right below: =>https://m.lindaikejisblog.com/2018/12/meet-my-son-jayceand-yes-sholaye-jeremi-is-his-dad.html Enjoy the rest of your day in London. |

hammer567:I'm not in support of impregnating a lady and running away neither am I in support of baby mama/daddy crap. I'm only stating that no culture can pass that of the Nigerian Constitution. If I impregnate an Igbo lady and I decide not to marry her while I bring money for the child's upkeep, Dem no born that culture to hold my child because I have been a responsible father. Marriage is not by force. But there's no running away from your offspring. For example the igbo culture where women do not inherit property has been squashed by the supreme Court because that culture means that women are not equal under the law. I hope you understand my point. |

hammer567:I am not disputing that fact. So why do people go from court to court? You don't seem to get me the point. The constitution is Supreme which means all other laws in the land cannot contest with it. So you still think women can't inherit anything because Igbo culture says so? My brother, we learn everyday. |

Whitecoal711:I grew up with people whose mothers had them without being married, they bear their maternal grandfathers' names, even when their mothers got married, they still retained their grandfathers' names.....one was elected as a member of my state's house of assembly representing my community, another became a Catholic Priest, their parentage was never an issue for us....no one is a bastard where I come from, we all have a surname awaiting us at birth. Linda Ikeji comes from similar community and that boy, is traditionally entitled to ancestral land from his maternal grandfather. Your community may have a different view.....that I respect. |
