We are saying the same thing.

You just gave a basic definition of what feminism is about.

Funlordmaniac:



This is a flawed way to reason! Case in point go and learn about this young woman in lagos called "affiong williams"....she's a client of mine and she ain't no feminist! She is probably your age mate!

Work hard and try to be all you can be like her, don't wait for a man to change a life that you can actually change by your self! Be brave...most nigerian woman need to start taking risks with their ambitions!

Nope I just gave you a definition of how normal men and women should live their lives! No one has ever stopped anyone from being what they want to be! All those societal, social and cultural excuses are baseless!

The feminists always focus on class wars when there is none! Anyway live on.....

cstr100:
That her speech on TEDx about how we should all be feminists is probably one of the greatest speeches on feminism in 21st century America and has converted millions to feminism.
[b]Home-gurl is now a feminist Icon for over 90% of female american citizens. Not bad for an igbo immigrant with no US citizenship as we speak.[/b]

Omo Iya... If this is true, I doff my hat for her.

lilfreezy:
all these girls will be shouting feminist! Feminist!, but when they go to uni and they give them Bachelors degree they will collect

No mind dem. I would have taken Chimamanda's feminist role seriously, if she was still single and over 35 years of age, with no offspring.

I especially loved her rebuttal of Steve Banno... er sorry Trump.

jesus500:
She is really making us proud, I salute her brilliance. Knowledge is power. education is very important.

Yes o. With all the bad news Naija and the rest of Africa is known for its good to hear some positive news about an African. This woman truly should be an ambassador for the continent.

Why is it that insecure man are usually the biggest enemies of feminism?

jesus500:

For real, for real.

Another radical feminist teaching all girls to blame men for their downfall and praise themselves for their success

Why don't you go and ask some of the insecure men in your family? I don't have time to educate ignorant people that cannot read and understand simple english they read online!

Illiterates can never understand the real meaning of feminism lai lai!

Haha, good to see that I struck a nerve. You know you won an argument when the only come back you can think of is an amateur childish response. Are your feelings hurt?

jesus500:

So it's "us" now abi? Not "Igbo"? You want to claim relationship cos it's a good thing. I pity you.

I know so many fake people and the so called "afonjas" would come here to claim relationship cos she is doing us proud. Remember, she's a "Igbo".

davidif:

Madam/mr you can never strike a nerve with a moniker like mine! The problem with some of you is that when you are swatted away like the insignificant flies you are you then want to believe that you were actually worth the time and effort! Okay let me simplify it for you since it's obvious thinking is not really your forte:


The sister I quoted understood my point clearly, some other smart females and males who also understood even used my post as a means to buttress their own points! So who do you really think cares if you don't get it or not? You can park here and keep ranting but it's your mb anyway so use it as you deem fit! Just remember I'm busy with my sports crew discussing tonight's game! Look for other online quarrelsome market women/men like yourself who enjoy having meaningless banter!

Shalom!

Chimamanda rose to prominence in the OBAMA/CLINTON era of unending feud between and among all contending social demographics the liberals created to divide Americans. Who and what is Ms. Adiche PROTESTING against? Who stopped her from achieving her dreams in Nigeria or elsewhere? For her to embark on this satanic campaign of feminism is a slap on her own father who provided her with everything she needed to excel, her Uncles, Brother, Nephews, Male cousins, Church Clergy and other men in her community who supported her in life that she is spending so much time rubbishing before the western media. Thanks a million for proclaiming you are a victim of Africa's goodness amidst so much lack and poverty, before a world that sees nothing good about us in the first place.

Gbagaun!

omalicha nwa...
there is something about this lady that I love so much ever since I discovered her.
Ride on nne

I was seriously and carefully reading comments to see the idiotic name checkers but unfortunately NCAN now has no proud members. If it were a crime related issue,you would have seen lots of NCAN presidents and secretaries but now that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has brought honour to Nigeria, it has become a collectively celebrated honour on Nairaland. The highest level of tribalism, sectionalism and religious intolerance being promoted on nairaland by Nigerian youths is indescribably appalling! Why can't Nigerian youths unite and jettison their negative thoughts and sentiments in order to keep Nigeria TRULY one? egalitarianism is the solution #

This igbo woman is really going places.

Stupedinluv:
With the way things are for women in this part of the world, feminism seems to be the only way out for African women.

I wish there was a better way though.

What other way dear?

lilfreezy:

Next thing you will say, why is there is no womankind just as there is mankind or why do men have nipple if somebody cannot suck their bress.

Retard.ed questions of the highest order.

Na small like this, na im remaim wey you for get sense.

gaetano:


Lol! No mind them. Feminist! But if them see small beard they will shave it

So feminism is about beards?! I'm not understanding your retar.ded logic.

Funlordmaniac:



This is a flawed way to reason! Case in point go and learn about this young woman in lagos called "affiong williams"....she's a client of mine and she ain't no feminist! She is probably your age mate!

Work hard and try to be all you can be like her, don't wait for a man to change a life that you can actually change by your self! Be brave...most nigerian woman need to start taking risks with their ambitions!

She might not embrace the title. Some people don't like to put labels on their selves, but she is embodying the principles by her handiwork.

Remember Feminism is simply the socio-politico elevation of women.

True but i'm just trying to let her know it's all in her mind! Dream big, think big, live big !

Hehehe
Adichie my friend.
Read sm ladies shouting... Yes, yeah! Cool...feminsm all the way!
Adichie ain't a feminist even b4 she got married.
Better use ur heads. Be street wise, wt hard work and working smart.
Dats wat defined this lady. Nt sm leaches waiting a man's purse still claiming feminists.
Her teaching is all abt being self dependent, brave to take risk like my bae and nt hopping or depending on any man.
Feminism is just an English word whc she kwz berra.
Most naija gals not ladies r taking it overboard.

Feminist belike...
