I recently went home to check on my parents. It happens that our lastborn who is in a boarding school also was around for a week break they were given at school.

On one of the evenings as I was talking to her and her dreams and aspirations this 16 old girl told me she wanted to become a Feminist. I was shocked but remained calm and gently asked her what she meant by being a Feminist.
She told me that by that she aims to become an advocate of women's right. She started narrating how men are domesticating women and whole lots.
I was marvelled at her passion and zeal and how convincing she was .
Deep down I knew that I have a problem to solve and I needs pragmatic steps in order not to cause more harms.

This girl has written her JAMB with nice scores and will soon be in the varsity.

Please, is there anyone with concrete approach on how I will go about this?

Shes 16,....let her imagination run wild... She sounds brilliant to me...

.most girls are age don't even think let alone know what they want out of life, and are just running after boys for, penis, urgent 2k and other greed-driven material things


Besides, what's wrong with being an advocate for her kind....??

Is advocating for women's right a bad thing...?

Even you were marveled at her passion and zeal.

Allow her... As long as her passion isn't a toxic one.

Most people have taken feminism to a toxic level but the original ideas of feminism is female education and equal opportunities in education, work and politics.

I don't see that as a bad thing!

She still has enough time to learn from experience.

What exactly is the problem here?

Let her be the feminist she wants to be.Life go humble am
Experience is the best teacher

Her idea of becoming a Feminist.

No mind her jare, na ways for her not to do any work for house. To even cook go con hard.

She is threading a path of destruction, you better kill that devil inside of her or it will destroy her.
Check all feminist their life don spoil none of them are married, the married ones are divorced and they weep in silence regretting the stupid actions of their youthful days.

Your parents are good example of how to help balance her opinion . I hope your mother is not domesticated

Our mom is a civil servant.

Advantage of her being a feminist is that Her kpekus will be secured,even when she's in the varsity........BUT then again,I just remembered that feminists are very likely to end up as evening newspaper

See op sister,see wahala

Find the root cause and address the issue

I can already tell that she’s probably growing up without an active father figure! She doesn’t know the value of having a man in her life, and the sad reality is, her mother won’t tell her the pains she’s going through doing it all alone.

Let’s be very clear, today’s feminism isn’t about advocating for women’s rights, it’s about dominating and hating on men including your husband and even father.

She’ll end up struggling her whole life alone and then realizing it wasn’t worth it.

A good way to help her is to find a retired feminist who is back to preaching reality for women

Don't stress yourself, na small pikin thing dey worry her

She will change her ideology as time goes on

She probably learned that at school and kudos to them for teaching girls these important topics.

Leave her na..what are u scared off...or do u have one of the traits she is fighting against

Too much Netflix cause am

She is going

In 10 years reality will kick in

Respect her opinion.

From boarding in Secondary school, to admission into the University, she's already almost out of your grasp, and there's very little you can do to change her given that you don't have much access to her for lengthy discussions and advice. Her peers or teachers in school may have influenced her choices.
Best you can do is pray for her. She may outgrow it.
But do you think being an advocate for women is something you should worry about?

Feminism isn't bad. The problem is MISANDRY.

Wait as she becomes one of those shaking bum bum on TikTok 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Feminist ko , fekomi herbs ni

Don't worry, by the time she's 25, she would gladly denounce feminism... Dem no dey tell person 😸

Tell her to continue

Give her boyfriend

I don’t see any problem here, what’s wrong against advocating for women’s right. Feminism as it is, is the political and economic liberation of women all over the world and we need more women, young girls to wake and stand against all form of gender segregation and stereotypes against women.

Feminism is not a woman refusing to cook for her husband or whatever you think it is. It is both men and women standing on equal grounds in the society.

What's wrong in being a feminist though? A feminist is someone who supports equal rights for women. I don't see anything wrong there. Even as a man you should support women having equal rights, or do you want your daughters to be less in life? Don't you want your daughters to have equal opportunities in life?

By the way, feminist is not a career. She's obviously a child and doesn't know what she really wants to do with life yet. Feminism or being a full time advocate is not a career. What you should do is guide her on how to become a women's advocate while in whatever field she chooses.

Nonsense. Chimamanda Adichie, foremost Nigerian feminist, is not only a celebrated author, she's happily married to a medical doctor with children

A good one

Tell her stories of African women that flourished with no man holding them back,even before western education. Queen Amina,Efunroye Tinubu,Efunsetan and many more achieved greatness
Life is not fair,but let her look up women that fought side by side with men to achieve our independence

Let her enter University. Campus Niggas go shake off the feminism before she enter year 2.

Nothing like feminism in Nigeria, the toxic women you see around calling themselves feminists are just lonely and frustrated women wey Naija men don do shege.
