Good. We're back to the main issue.

Chimamanda's criticsism of one of the world's most intelligent and most powerful women over her proud devotion to her family as a wife, mom and grandmother was as near a colossal gaffe as she could ever commit!

Next thing you know she'll be criticizing Hillary for not divorcing Bill and letting him get impeached during the Lewinsky saga.

Hillary married Bill most likely before Chimamanda was even born, and she should be looking to the older woman for advice, yet she chose to go the way she did because of a cause she's fighting for which, without a doubt, is due to her own personal experience.

Chimmamanda criticised her? Where exactly? Does begging for clarification now amount to criticism? How is the subject of the main issue a product of destructive bitterness? Please show me how she criticised Hillary.

Jeezuzpick:
People who bring about change are first and foremost people who are able to rise above the crippling effects of the status quo.

Note that I never said bear the suffering with a stoic smile on your face. What I'm saying is, don't let bitterness be the end result. Get rid of the bitterness first, then you'll find you can think straight so you can tackle the issue more objectively.

I speak from experience. I've been a really bitter person, but I had to first release myself from the toxicity before I could even see an end to my woes. It may take a resignation (I did that) a breakup, a radical change in appearance, habits and even location, but first be rid of bitterness. We sometimes hear of people we envy suddenly cave in due to bitterness. Failed marriages, careers, etc..... Bitterness is not a badge of honor, lady.

How is anyone making bitterness the end result when they are bitter about a sad situation? If words matter and could mar or make, how is using it as a tool, even if from a place of bitterness, be bitterness itself?

How do you make change if you don't loathe and identify that the place you are ascending from condescends? How are your inputs and anyone's end result purely bitterness when they are speaking truth from a place of bitterness?

So, let's get down to business. Tell me...show me, how is Chimmamanda's end product bitterness when she is trying to destroy what makes people bitter? Is the doctor injecting female anopheles serum when he tries to fight malaria? How did you arrive at your conclusion?

Jeezuzpick:
Absolutely nothing!

That being said, everyone on earth has a good reason to be bitter about something or other, right?

Isn't it so much better to choose not to be bitter?

No. Should we be happy, neutral or bitter about the wickedness in the world? Should we be happy, neutral or bitter about the level of injustice in the world? Should we see the dearth of reason and the death of humans and be neutral and/or happy and still claim to have any humanity left in us?

Jeezuzpick:
Chimamanda's bitterness is only 5mCC
(pronounced 5 milliCeeCs).

What is wrong with been bitter about the male chauvinism in the world? What is wrong with been bitter about a mindset, an ideology, a system that antagonise healthy living?

Jaynom:
I didn't see this. Your post sums it up. I am a strong supporter of Gender equality. However, women can not be Men. Chimamanda subconsciously believes a woman can "be and should be treated like a man", and this is impossible!!

Where did she say this?

I have jst received an interview invite at Global Resource on Monday 23/4/ 2018, at no 5 resources press building, off fumec bus stop. Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja. Pls who knows abt them, & how legit are they? tnks

"If you are one of those who is trying to justify his blunder, you need psychiatric evaluation. It speaks some much on the stupidity of the older generations and those that have ruled, governed and are governing us that a lot of your suppose human resources are not educated and should be a thing of same coming from the President of the country".

I totally agree. It seems there's this joy the dull man gets in disgracing Nigerians once he is outside the country. Like Seyi wrote, he derailed the question to vomit this trash. He was not asked about Nigeria's youths but an entirely different thing altogether but he, in his usual ignorance, found a way to rope his people into it.

Personally, I think Buhari is a fool and have no sense. The only thing he is qualified to run is stupidity. He's got no sense and his age has toughened the grip of stupidity in him. If he had a working brain he would have reasoned before opening that garbage-filled buccal cavity of his. How will that statement help his country or anyone?

Like he said:

"It speaks some much on the stupidity of the older generations and those that have ruled, governed and are governing us that a lot of your suppose human resources are not educated and should be a thing of same coming from the President of the country". There are so many foolish old men in this country and we must purged of their wits before we can move forward.

Is democracy even for a dumb population?

The owners of Nigerian running the country how they deem fit. The army, the fg and some governors understand the cause here and they are quiet. If Dan Fodio started from 0 to 100, how then is succeeding difficult when they are 100? If he succeeded when he had nothing, no military or man tool, how is succeeding now difficult when there is a military support base and willing human tools?

Arabic is a language.

And a symbol of evil and good to different Nigerians and where it is so shouldn't it matter when it is added as spice in everyone's menu?

Symbolism is intended to communicate, in this case, power and ownership. If out of a hundred tribes, a transliteration for a small section is made paramount, then the rights to segregate has been granted. The rights to feel better is granted and chaos happens.

While it is evident that all organised religion poisons almost everything, I think Islam poisons everything. But this is slavery by an evil genius. Once you are enslaved to view the barbaric deeds of one saviour as right, you are doomed as a human being.

The Nigerian religionists, especially the Muslims, are so entrapped. The KSA control them all through religion and they don't mind creating chaos in their own system just to please them. What for? The worship of Gods whose morality stink.

Why do we have the Ajami on the Uniform of the Nigerian Army? Is that necessary? Why not English, the country’s Lingual Franca? This creates a divide in the system. It overtly shows that some people are more important than the others.

Why consider the illiterates from a certain section of the country and forget the illiterates from other sections? If the trick is to help people with a popular tribe understand, what happens to the illiterates from less popular tribes?

While the unconcerned citizens see nothing wrong with it since it doesn’t affect them, the Nigerians whose ego it massages and titillates, treat them with a certain disdain. That’s the power of symbolism. It doesn’t have any effect on you but because someone believes in it, in a country where such egotism shouldn’t be promoted, his actions affect you.

While you enjoy and live large, a fragmented society is growing. A society where some persons think they are the purest of breeds. A society where some persons feel they genuinely own Nigeria. If you don’t care you should start caring now. You should start demanding for the creation of a nation of citizens and not tribes.

Why? That is why I still believe many people in Africa take God serious because of their condition.. People in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, e.t.c are comfortable; hence a good number of them see no reason believing in God...

If you believe in God because of your condition, PLEASE change, because when money comes in its abundance, you might forsake God or begin to treat him with Logic

That's true. The same goes for believing in God because you are scared of hell and want to make heaven. Personally, the existence of hell is the reason I find it hard to believe in God. The man who follows this God because he wants to make heaven and the one who follows him because he is poor are one and the same. I respect my dad because he's my dad and ooze wisdom not because I need gifts or favours.

What about the amnesty for terrorists? What about the plan to give murderers and criminals safety instead of justice? One day it will all blow up.

oyetpel:
It's called competition "the activity or condition of striving to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others".

But i think what's confusing you here is your emphasis on 'crying'. It's not necessary you cry when you are eliminated but footballers do this to show emotion. They have fans depending on them to win, not showing emotion when they lose means they are heartless and doesn't care.

Now, think about politics on how only one man can become president, governor, senator despite several contesting for those seats.


Think of education, some people come first in a class of 30, do you think the other 29 below is position are happy to be behind? This also shows that the student who made 1st in the class is brilliant than the other 30, which is exactly what happens in football. In most Football leagues there are teams that compete for the title, because they have very good players and financial capability to top the other clubs.


In conclusion is all about competition and winning, the crying is to show emotion.[

I know these things. My question is why organise a thing that leaves a sour taste in everyone's mouth? Why make 50 sad and 1 happy? I know it's fun and a game of beauty but I'm looking at it from the human angle.

Just yesterday, Juve players clashed with the referee and there was sadness in Turin and Madrid. 2 days ago, there was sadness in Man City as Pep was red carded. There are four teams now and three will surely gnash and become heartbroken.

So, why? What's the point of that education that encourages hate, envy, blood, sweat and tears among students? Why should we create an educational system that makes 29 sad and 1 happy? Couldn't there have been a better way of doing these things without hurting anyone?

I enjoy football but I don't know for how long. See the fan mocking, the suicides from heartaches as a result of defeat, the hatred flowing in unbroken continuity...The paradox of these activities is beginning to hunt my conscience. Should a game that makes more people heartbroken be upheld?

I'm also worried about the game. Yes, I love the game but I've been over thinking. What's the joy in seeing 37 other teams suffer and cry just for one to lift the trophy at the end of the season? Take a look at the world cup. 36 teams play, 35 cry and heart breaks and 1 wins. Why? What's the point of all these challenge? Do we gain or lose more from the beautiful game?

Cool but watch out for extreme feminists and homosexuals on this forum,they will start giving U logics from drunk researchers about how homosexuality started from the womb!

They can try but homosexuality cannot be morally or biologically justified.

Homosexuality is disastrous to the human anatomy and shouldn't be encouraged by anyone with a sound mind. It's annoying to see so-called logicians justifying the crap in the name of civilization. How would anyone with even a basic knowledge of science and human biology support such nonsense?

Whoever campaigned for Buhari does not have the intelligence to rule Nigeria. There must be problems with his learning and understanding. He must be plagued with either intellectual myopia, historical myopia, moral myopia, religious myopia, economic myopia and tribal myopia or all and his understanding of humanism, being and peace insufficient. A very strong ailment must be in him. I asked this dude on Facebook why he did that and he didn't respond.

Not just anti-igbo, Nigerians are generally anti-other tribes. Nigerians hate each other so much that any man with a functional soul will wonder why they are still one country. The hate we have for other tribes is stronger than the love we have for Nigeria.

It is not just the Igbo, though I must admit the nature has the potential for breeding enemies. See the hate between the Igbo and Yorubas. Two tribes with majority acting like fools to each other, two tribes who have never done physical battle.

The truth is, Nigeria was not meant to be. I must give credit to the genius who created such unworkable system. He is a mental giant. We are too foolish to end the hate and our country was built with that hatred at the core.

The only thing keeping Nigerians together is the only thing that shouldn't keep any true relationship. It is business and the material and food for our mortal bodies. Peace, Love, sound health of mind and body is not in the menu. We are in hell.

One of the problems we have around here.

You often hear people say "doing the same thing over and over and expecting the result to be different is insanity" but the same people who use this quote suspend it once prayers to God is involved.

Nigeria is running a bastardized system of government, not really "unitary" and not totally a "federation" but a fusion of both.

Nigeria is running a federal system of government simply because.. it's a multi-ethnic country n has huge population, federation supports common interest, reduces differences within regions/territories and discourages secession. In a nutshell, Nigeria practice federal system just to unify d country n nothing more, Nigeria doesn't devolve total power to d states that true federalism encourages.

Nigeria practice unitary system of government too because....power is concentrated at d central and almost every government parastatals is at d central, this system of government is used in countries with 1 major ethnic group n less population, things are run with ease because there's not much differences among d people unlike Nigeria.

Nigeria major in "unitary" n minor in "federal" but not on d list of countries d runs unitary system n on d list of d less than 30 countries that runs a "federal system of government".

The current structure suffocates the states.

Nice one. But do you think a change of structures will stop illiterate and literate Nigerians who kill fellow Nigerians for religious reasons to stop that? Like how will restructuring of structures prevent the killing of people like Mrs Bridget by Northern Muslims?

Histrings08:
Maybe he saw what we're not seeing

What? Only a dumb person or a morally bankrupt human being will say so about Buhari. Buhari encapsulates everything wrong with today's Africa. I don't mind this as an insult but any human who disagrees is dumb or morally empty. Buhari is a Devil.

He is a dunce if he really believes Buhari is one of the most legitimate leaders this country ever produce. Buhari is not even worthy to kiss the feet of the corrupt Jacob Zuma.

One of the most conscious Nigerian musicians ever. But why, Brymo? Why?
