Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie born 15 September 1977) is a Nigerian writer whose works range from novels to short stories to nonfiction. She was described in The Times Literary Supplement as "the most prominent" of a "procession of critically acclaimed young anglophone authors [which] is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature", particularly in her second home, the United States. Anyway there are hacks to writing, and making money from it. This is what this video is all about.. you will be amazed, bu how much money you can make from writing as a beginner. Don't think the school you went to is a waste, provided you have a phone..you are good to go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp1TlU5iloo 1 Like 1 Share |

Kondomatic:I am forced to start thinking in this light. Recently, a young boy of 7 was carried away by erosion in Benin, thankfully, he was saved by two women and taken to the station. When questioned, they found out he hawked pure water into the night and when they sent for his guardian, it happens that the man of the house is not even aware of it. It was a young woman who have a 2yr old child that is using this child to sell Water for her. She kept crying saying it is the work of the devil 5 Likes |

Some men here will just keep contradicting themselves. You frown and bring down the roof if a woman refuses to pay her bills or split bills with you. Then, when you hear or read about equality, u want to faint. I don't understand most of you. Reasons why a smart woman will no longer wait for a man to pay her bills or depend entirely on a man. This life is live and let's Live. Being independent is not feminism but the fact that most ladies are able to stand on their own and do things for themselves is enough to annoy the hell out of a typical Nigerian man. Wetin be una problem sef? As for the violence stuff, it happens both ways. 50-50. Human being too wicked abeg... 2 Likes |

kalu61: You made some valid points, but your premises are wrong. Firstly, it is the society, not nature that puts men over women. History is littered with civilizations where women are the dominant sex. Even in nature, female animals are stronger and meaner. Secondly, women and children only need protection by men mostly because people still believe that violence against women is understandable and therefore tolerable. Thirdly, female population is NOT more than male. It is almost the same with the male having a slightly higher number. Check the statistics. Lastly, women only celebrate the birth of a male child because of the premium placed on it by the society. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I think the earlier we realize that all children are same, the better for the world. Imagine terminating pregnancy cos the child is a female. WTH. Do you wonder what Agbo Jedi is? Agbo Jedi comes in different names for people especially in the southwestern part of Nigeria, some persons call it ále’, áwopa’or áfato, to learn more about jedi click https://alawiiyeyoruba.com/agbo-jedi/ |

kalu61: There was a time when physical strength mattered a lot for survival and by extension leadership this favoured the male folks and it MADE sense those times are long gone intellectual capacity is now a key decider in survival and leadership tell me when both genders are born what is in the male child to say he is/would be smater than his female counterpart Talking scripture a man isn't a leader of everybody in skirt that right ends with his wife and family even then looking through Ephesians 5 he has to be her head the exact same way Christ heads the church by LOVE AND SACRIFICE |

Guys why preach equality which is never attainable, not in this life and not in the ones to come. Each gender have distinctive roles and responsibilities, so it kinda absurd preaching equality every now and then. Why nor equity for all. You folks will just be ranting upandan. Isn't it a woman that made a man tekked for over 450km hust to get away from her shenanigans. Most times males are even more compassionate than females are. They are the most callous toward their female counterparts. Let them become the head of any organisation, you go hear wehn..... WHY MUST WE SWALLOW THE WESTERN IDEOLOGIES [GOOD OR BAD] HOOK, LINE AND SINKER WITHOUT FIRST EXAMINING WHETHER IT CAN FIT INTO OUR WAY OF LIFE OR NOT. SHIOR YEYE DEY SMELL CALL ME WHEN YOU START PREACHING EQUITY AND NOT EQUALITY. 3 Likes |

Jodha:The fact is humans of today are so weak emotionally and psychologically due to burden and stress of living a modern lifestyle. We want to achieve everything and become more superior than the other man thereby putting ourselves in an unnecessary and unhealthy competition where no prize is won. Is there a prize for for being more handsome or beautiful than the other man or woman? Is there a prize for being richer than the other fellow? Sometimes I weep inside of me as man is taking advantage of the other man for no reason. Life should be viva la vida. Women are victims of domestic violence for being regarded as lesser than men. Women consider men who are not rich and powerful as weak men therefore they face domestic violence from their wives. This life is becoming something else. Come to think of it, do the white people prefer male child to female? Do the white women discriminate against their men for not being rich? Do white men display their ill gotten wealth? Somebody should help me out please. 2 Likes |

Well I guess this narrative sells better. Personally, I do not seek weakness in women. Only a weak woman will think women are disadvantaged. Women are built stronger in every ramifications. I just think those who think women are week center only on the body structure and nothing on the mental buildup. I hate to see posts like this, they’re demeaning to the prospect of a strong society. kalu61: |

BafanaBafana: The guy is right nature did not put men above women society did.Be careful of the words you use not all men are stronger,bigger taller etc.there is no where it is stated that men have a larger brain a larger brain does not even equate intelligence.All what you listed does not indicate superiority at all because I could still argue about other things for women and claim we are naturally superior. Lol a woman's ability to give life and multitask should also tell you something about female superiority over men.I am sure you will agree.Men are not superior ti women learn that and stop arguing with distorted facts claiming that is why it is a fallacy. 2 Likes |

If the violence is 50/50 then why do people like Chimamander always sell a narrative that violence happen more to women? It’s sickening to hear people like her be the voice of women. If all women think like that women then certain men like myself will never have to marry. Comments like hers are worrisome, it does even make young women harness their potentials bc they already have it at the back of her head that the society is violent against them. This is not true. The fact that a particular woman was broken by her own experience doesn’t make it a women thing. It’s her problem and she has to deal with it. There are very strong women out there. I’m in relationship with one. I have learnt so much from her than I have done with friends and parent. I have never heard her talk about inequalities or something of such. Some days she cries about things at work then I remind her she’s a lion and other says she comes home telling me how fierce she was as a lion. Life should be about that. People should recognize their strength and pick partners that help them become stronger. When you choose bc of money or beauty then you have to suffer alone and stop making noise about weakness FashionCookie: 2 Likes |
