Today is AllahKaduna Nzeogwu's birthday o! Lol. |
The Social Consequence of Entrenching Warped Narratives: AllahKaduna and the Gender Revolution By Chike Nwodo In much of the last decade as social media revolutionised the engagements and socialisation of Nigeria’s youth population, issues around gender became one of the most dominant topics around Nigeria’s social media discourses; albeit lopsidedly. It meant that by 2018, bashing, insulting, denigrating, and outright demonising of the Nigerian male human, had become the favourite pastime of Nigeria’s supposed feminists. Year after year, it seemed there were times reserved for this round of bashing of the male population of Nigeria, such that by 2020, it had reached its noxious crescendo. In fact, misandry was born. Phrases like “dead beat dads”, “men are scum”, “average Igbo men”, “wife not cook”, and sending wishing to only ‘responsible’ fathers and men on Men’s or father’s days as against what happens on women’s and mother’s days, etc, all became normal lexicons in Nigeria’s gender language. Consequently, and rightly so, by 2019, there’d become a gradual push back from men themselves, and well-meaning women who same harbingers of misandry dubbed “patriarchy princesses” and “pick me ladies”. As one of these voices of caution, I wrote the piece https:// businessday.ng/opinion/article/the-boy-child-un seating-his-social-validation-as-an-endangered-specie/ where I posted that except we become intentional in focusing on the right social conversation especially with regards to gender issues, all talks of feminism in Nigeria will continue to amount to some loud symphonies of meaninglessness; because they aren’t speaking to the actual problem; the social system that define gender in Nigeria. Instead, the focus has intentionally been on men, denying that men themselves are victims of a system that continue to see them through trenches of social horror. Drawing attention to Professor Daniel Smith’s book “To Be a Man is Not a One Day Job”, I had argued that masculinity is much of a social construct as femininity. That men and boys are as much themselves, victims of society’s definitions of their gender; that without prejudice, men and boys have effectively become endangered human species in the contemporary human world; a social situation which consciously or unconsciously became conventionally accepted morbidity in Nigeria. Tellingly, Daniel Smith’s book was not only based on his research, but on his over two decades of personal experience of the social evolution of the Igbo male of south east Nigeria, arising from which I posted the question of why the Igbo males especially, have been victims of some vicious attack from their sister gender in Nigeria, especially from Igbo ladies who despite being the greatest beneficiaries of male enabled social structures that continue to see them grow higher than their sister pears in all ramifications and all social indices of growth, continue to denigrate and set up her brother gender for many times unwarranted ghoulish opprobrium. A case in point happened recently. Nigeria’s literati of the feminist culture birthed the question of “why do men die quicker than their wives?” Put in another form, the question asked “why are there more widows than there are widowers?” To an intelligent and rationally sincere mind, this immediately was a socially profound question to ask; to call attention to the social and mental health of the average Nigerian male, who begins to live with the social pressure of the Nigerian definition of being a “Man” right from adolescence when he begins to fancy a girl as a romantic date. It was effectively a germane question on masculinity, it seemed. Unfortunately, trust the Nigeria narrative to once again turn facts into fiction as it were; it became another opportunity of wanting to prove how ‘men die because they are scum’. Nigerian females, nay the feminist literati who lay claim to sound education and intellection, began to claim that men die quicker than their wives because aside marrying younger women (which to them was a punishable social crime), they cheat on their wives and consequently when they became weaker and sick at old age, their wives then decide to abandon them to their fates to die. If the above is not a product of a warped attempt at the conventionally accepted demonization of the male human, pray tell, what is the ratio of women to men in the frontlines of society’s endangered work force? How many women are in the military? How many women are on transit daily to meet up with one business or the other? How many women shoulder nuclear family financial responsibilities? How many women are in igba-boy? How many women have come down with BP related complications as a result of family, in-laws, relationships, businesses, and work place mental and physical pressures? This is why I had stated in a post that Nigeria’s literati of the feminist culture have a big challenge on their hands; and this challenge is a social sincerity challenge. Two years ago, I narrated how my younger brother Chinwe then in a federal government college, together with his brother classmates were charged to work with the police to secure their sister school mates when the school came under attack from their host community. I told of how that assignment took them into the girls’ hostel for the first time, to plan their defence against the imminent attack (which later happened), how they were awestruck at what they saw; clean, tushed, furnished, equipped with electronics, and well-functioning hostel; such that made them question if they were in the same school as the girls. The reason for their shock? Their own boys’ hostels were piggeries in comparison. In case you don’t understand it, compare the girls’ and boys’ hostels in whatever tertiary institution you attended. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_ fbid=3684306584916142&id=100000105113037 I also pointed out that “In Nigeria’s history of poverty, economic, and infrastructural decay, the boy child is most likely to grow up in many poor homes as the sacrificial lamp not only to improve the economic fortunes of his family, but also to raise himself above the nadir of social perdition for his own progenies. So when he makes it out from the dilapidation that was his adolescent socialisation, he is literally shipped into Nigeria's social hell-hole to 'hustle’ where failure to achieve success draws opprobrium even from his opposite gender.” However, until now, these issues did not bother the Nigerian male. He rather bore these expectations quietly, went about his daily life without caring about these debilitating social structures. He understood the enormity of the social responsibilities he has, so he went about his life working in whatever way to make ends meet without grumbling at his many social disadvantages, because again, he understood that like the stomach, his chi was not afraid to put him in the front. Nwoke ka ga-eme ife oji bulu ide ji ezi n’ulo. It is the reason why for all its demonization, patriarchy is the shoulder on which human civilisations was built on. But then out from nowhere, hell was let loose, spitting on his realities and social struggles like he was destined for annihilation. Led by the never seen before viciousness and evil minded wicked face of Nigeria’s feminist daredevils, Nkechi Bianze and her lieutenants in loud misandry, unleashed on the Nigerian male a level of public social battery that before long gained legitimisation. It became a socially correct narrative to demean the male and associate him with any form of ghoulish act in society. But such warped narratives were never to last long. Thus enter AllahKaduna Nzeogwu... Until what is now the social revolution being engineered by AllahKaduna began to sweep clean the augean stables of distortions against Nigeria’s males, no one thought such was possible. Not many thought that time will be when men will rise up to say, enough of the BS. Enough of the spits on his masculine burdens. Enough of the crookedly wicked demonization of the boy child. Thus, AllahKaduna in effect is bringing home to Nigeria’s feminist eggheads the question of social responsibility in gender discourse. AllahKaduna is effectively a social commentary on Nigeria’s readiness to practice and uphold social equality with equal social responsibility. AllahKaduna is the concrete definition of a counter social culture that for long has made it acceptable to hold a man singularly responsible for even a female’s misdemeanour. AllahKaduna is a social conscience for how far we are willing to sustain the social philosophy of “what is good for the geese is good for the gander.” © Chike Nwodo 0122 #SaveTheBoyChild |

Ubunja reigned for a long time on Nairaland as the king of alpha-males and red-pillers. But unfortunately, Ubunja is a South African. Now in 2022, a Nigerian has finally risen to limelight as the king of alpha-males and red-pillers in Nigeria. I call him the "Man of the Year 2021, 2022, and 2023" because he is too legendary for one year. Lol. Meet His Royal Highness AllahKaduna Nzeogwu. I don't know if that's his real name or real picture though. All I know is that, that's what he is using on his Facebook profile. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075710588224 I will be posting his quotes and sermons here. You can share any of your favourite AllahKaduna Nzeogwu quotes and sermons here too.

Bigkoko:Dear Rwandan, you haven't told us the products and services in your portfolio. What you have described up here is all empty words, sorry to say. Why should a Nigerian invest at least $100 in your business? Is it that oversized green polo with BigKoko written on it that your company is producing? Nigerians may seem poorly educated or stupid but we (especially Igbo Nigerians) can never be deceived by any other Africans on the face of this earth, trust me. And we get bad mouth pass everybody too. Lol. |
Danielawrence:Did you say 21 YEARS? Wow! |

Franzinni:Okay that's better sir. But I hope you know that this is a very low-budget project o! Lol. That means that we up-and-comers can't afford to pay you in the hundreds of thousands that you're used to. So are you willing to give us a 85% discount on your services for example? Like if you're supposed to charge 100k, you charge us 15k? |
Why does he remind me of Green Lantern? And why do African superheros always have be modelled after all those foreign superheros anyway? It's annoying. I think Africa has original mystical characters that our cartoonists or animators can bring to life. |
Franzinni:There is no way to reach you. Are you on WhatsApp? |

illicit:What is funny please? |
I will post my chat with them as proof here if necessary. |
THEY LIVED BEFORE ADAM by CATHERINE ACHOLONU is amongst the top ten greatest books in Africa in my opinion. It is up there with HOW EUROPE UNDERDEVELOPED AFRICA by WALTER RODNEY and other great books written by Africans. It is a book that reveals that Adam and Eve were Igbo and that the Igbo language was the first language spoken on earth. It might seem like an insane theory until you read the book. However, that is the problem. How do people get to read this book and the revelations inside it if it is so expensive and beyond the purchasing power of the common man? Fifteen thousand naira (N15,000) is the price of the book. They will charge an extra three thousand naira (N3,000) to ship it from Enugu to Lagos. I found out all this after I personally reached out to the phone number they put up on their official Facebook page. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that the book is not worth the price. I'm only pleading that the price be reviewed or subsidized downwards to make it more affordable for the general public. I would also be most grateful if somebody could allow me hire their already purchased copy for one thousand naira (N1,000) if possible. I will read it, take notes and return your book to you. I'm in Lagos and can be contacted on 0 9 0 9 5 0 0 0 6 0 3. Thanks in advance.
