A few women among the thousands of people in govt is not a true representation of the female population. That's said, having women in govt is not a total measure of women's rights having been granted. We can have women in govt and women's rights won't be protected because it doesn't affect them, be so they don't care. The standard is that whether the govt is dominated by men or women, everyone both men and women should be treated fairly under it. Tufiakwa nke gi ![]() Truckpusher: 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Why haven't you asked my opinion about it yourself. I don't fancy the culture of bride price too. I do love traditional marriages tho. So let's not confuse the two. I think I've had this debate before and it got personal because I had to go into details about how I tried to balance that out when I got married. But believe me I'm not in support of it.

Truckpusher:that's my point, I'm not about to gist you what happened and who paid what or didn't pay. Or if it was returned or if my family had rights of their own that they had to perform to my husband's family which involved spending too. Because it gets personal and is just an avenue for miscreants to come and start blabbing rubbish. I Did that once, not gonna do it again. The fact that it is called bride price is even enough to is scrap it. |

macof: Well, without being biased or fear of any contradiction, I don't only believe some of these societal misconception pointed out in those tweets but I have, as a matter of fact, observed some of the contents occurring. Even if we haven't had personal encounters with people who are culpable in this prejudice we must have heard it from mates or just from those we're unacquainted with. I have, both online and offline observe where guys (and sometime girls too) make annotations that are designed to pressurize women adopting a lifestyle which they deem as their mandate and ladies must abide to. Most of the time they are geared to remind ladies to get married and for those who aren't married at 30+ they're look down upon as either rejects, or having tasteless demeanours. Others are thought to have swashbuckling disposition which either scare men from them or they are whores. Men are equally victims of societal platitudes and we would address them whenever they're raised but this time it's about women. Not about feminism championing here. Are you oblivious of the fact that most churches have programs which aimed at grooming girls of how to become a perfect wife with same churches having little or no such programs for the guys. How about girls always being reminded of how they should get married once they clock 20+ and very few guys are mettled in similar manner. While I'm not discouraging this stereotypical practice I'm not encouraging it either. I'm only pointing them as true and factual but you or anyone else do not have to agree. However, I'm perplexed why these tweets are coming from Nigerian women, who usually revel in this repressive attitude among themselves. Uncountable times we see these women curse themselves out and throw shades and trite remarks at each other for not getting married and whatnots. What happened?. 2 Likes |

I'm tired abeg. Does getting married early qualify me to look down on single ladies and act towards them like there's something they haven't achieved? Anyone should get married whenever they want and to whomever they like. If it hasn't happened for them, there's no reason to act towards them like they are incomplete. That's my point. Btw are you married? If not that means you're an underachiever by your definition. ![]() liquidmetall: |
