Is Chimamanda in the same league with Hilary Clinton?

You would be surprised to know chimamanda actually shapes opinions in America.
You can ask Beyonce herself.

The gap between Clinton and chimamanda is not so steep compared to the gap between chimamanda and dencia.
And Clinton is an American, a former first lady .

Chimamanda does not even own a US passport which she could get easily, and has no intention of getting one at least according to her.

If she was an American born and brought up, Michelle Obama would have nothing on her.

Xisnin:
Let us examine this case critically.
Chimamanda is an internationally acclaimed writer married with a child.
Dencia is a single 40 year old C-list singer with no stable boyfriend nor husband.
If we go by her sermon we will conclude that she is a lovely, obedient and well behaved
woman who believe in submission to one's husband.

Why is she then a single at 40 while the supposed men-hating feminist, Chimamanda is happily married?

It is either men don't appreciate her or she is a pretender and a horrible person to relate with.
I know the latter is more likely the case.

It is instructive to know that most of the women pouring vituperative insults on Chimamanda are single, even on facebook,
there are very few negative reactions from married women, perhaps, they know better or have nothing to prove to anyone.

These single women attacking Chimamands are sending a message which is that they are wife material and they don't
want someone to spoil their market, it doesn't necessarily mean that they would be better wives than the maligned
feminists.

Feminists are sincere women who don't have to pretend to be liked, that is, what you see is who they really are,
and their homes are much likely to be peaceful because major issue have been sort out before time.

How about the anti-feminist "wife materials"?
You will never know what you are getting from this group, she could be a misandrist or could later
hold you by your balls while demanding for a better deal or "respect", something which she was
initially against.

Ask those men suffering in their marriage and you find out that they didn't marry
feminists, they supposedly marry women who believes that the man is the head of the house, some
of them don't even call their husband by his first name and would even condemn feminism if given a chance.

I will prefer a feminist than a pretentious obedient and subservient woman any day any time.

So who is thinking backwards, Chimamanda who thinks professional title should come first on twitter bio
or Dencia who allegedly gets irritated by such harmless suggestion?

This made me remember something back then in my uni days when I was dating a girl. Initially she was cool and was normal and things were fine. Love things you know..

All of a sudden, she started acting weird with some behaviors like she wanting to control me. I like confident girls but not one that'll use it to manipulate and turn men into lapdogs and menu. She'll read my texts and won't reply till hours later, won't return my calls and when she comes around she insist I go cook for her.
She started mentioning words like trust and confidence and all those feminist shiit. I didn't grab what's happening at first and I come de wonder what's happened, so I tried to get to her to know what's up.

That's how one day I went to her hostel and I called her when I was by her door. Got in and she was reading a book which she hid as I got inside. I shaa got the book when she went out and pretended not to know anything. The book, WHY MEN MARRY BITCHES BY SHERRY ARGOV..

Cos me I be avid reader sef, I got the pdf myself and wanted to know what the book is about. Geez, that's one of the vilest books I've ever read. It's practically a step by step guide on how to emasculate a man, turn him into a sissy all in the name of feminism and a man proving his worth to a woman.. I never got halfway with the book to realise what was going on with my then relationship..

It was crazy cos I was already falling for the shit and drama. Decided to use the book as a weapon and doing the exact opposite.. I don't need to tell you the result. I really now got to see her as one very insecure girl who hangs on to anything to validate herself. Same with her friends..

And that's how it's been with most girls I've been with later. They're confused, get bitter and aggressive when they can't manipulate a man and will do anything to validate themselves and that's what these fake feminists are all about.

See this Chimamanda now, married with a kid but still getting upset at a fellow woman for no reason, someone who understands what it is to be a real woman. By the way, I checked up on that Sherry ARGOV and discovered that she lives alone, maybe that says it about her..

Guys, please don't fall for their feminist gimmicks. guys that haven't seen what a woman truly is are those that carried away by these bullshitss. A woman will always remain a woman..

mapet:


This is a big load of crap

dafeyankee:
True.

A fake feminist.

Who is a feminist?usually a frustrated single lady in their mostly 30's, 40's and 50's who after failing in life, will now discover that their calling is to bash men, while pretending they seek equality.

Equality my banga soup. Who una wan dey equal to?you want to be equal?the feminists should first pick an empty bottle of coke,and try to pee inside.

If you can pee into an empty coke bottle, you have earned the right to be called an equal.

prechbills1:


why won't I support feminism?
feminism is the best thing that have ever happened to mankind

Notmyproblem:


Of course feminism is not against any of those things. Did you know what her bio was when she was campaigning? To the point is simple she would never have put that up on her bio during election why now? Hypocrisy bro.

martineverest:
yep....if u think deeply,chimamanda is trying to correct somethings.she is directing for message to those that believe being a wife automatically means u are actually second fiddle and those women that believe being a wife or getting married is an achievement

Twoclans:

Because it means equal financial responsibilities .

I am very indifferent about feminism, maybe its because I still don't understand what the big deal is.

BluntBoy:


By your logic, you shouldn't also be criticizing Buhari since "the places he has entered and dominated, you would be chased away with police dogs."

HeWrites:


See this one.

Then what's feminism/gender equality if I can't do to you what you did to me

charain:
I will advice dencia to focus on her failing career.
Feminism discussion is for intelligence folks, it isn't for some empty headed bimbos
who hawks their face or body for a living.

CSTR1003:

Buhari is my president. He was voted to enter those places on my behalf.
Unlike dencia, I am a 1000 times smarter and educated than buhari , but politics especially in Nigeria is not a question of the smartest.

Obviously, there is no difference between you and dencia.

lexy2014:
if d criteria 4 expressing one's opinion was based on d places people have entered, then chimamanda had no business talking 2 Hillary cause she hasn't entered places that Hillary has entered

Ladyhippolyta88:
To theist God rules our entire lives.Then democracy should not be practiced we should go back to monarchy as practised in the bible.Things are changing and don't lie to me that you practise all the message in your holybook especially the old testament laws.Sometimes I wonder when we would learn to separate religion from secular issues.Read on Christian egalitarianism sir.

mapet:


Yet Buhari is in Aso Rock leading Nigeria and you are where? on NL making statements that betrays "intelligence"

prechbills1:
Chimamanda thinks like a backward clock - Dencia

she also said;
Feminism isn’t about cooking & cleaning or whatsoever but like I stated, most of her followers I know will say “they won’t be under a man or whatsoever & when u tell them she is married with a child they are so shocked, her life & feminist ways work for her, the average person sees feminism in a different way.Do u guys know how hard it is being married to someone or raising kids? If a woman thinks that’s something she should be proud of, why even question that? If feminism isn’t about marriage & all why even question her bio? Infact who even questions people’s SM bio? It’s just SM, ladies, live ur lives as u please, don’t let others lives & what works or doesn’t work for others determine ur life.Ur face feminist are humans like u figuring out their lives day by day.Just be humans and stop the extra Tags!! Women already are higher up than men cuz they birth men, stop fighting positions u already have, u raise men, these are ur kids !! Wear ur crown � queens and live ur life

ibinaboonline:
Go back to monarchy as practiced in the Bible. Lack of understanding. lack of wisdom... and you're actually the one telling me to have an open mind. Ha. Let me tell you something you obviously don't know, Christianity, I mean, true Christianity is not a religion. Secondly, do you have any idea where the world will be if everyone thought like you? If everyone talked like you? You have made that comment twice about separating religion from secular issues. I think it's utterly uninformed, to be fair. We are the salt of the earth. My so-called religion is why I'm not a cyber fraudster even though I know how to do it. My so-called religion is why I drive consciously, considering other drivers and road users. My so-called religion is why I don't sleep around with every woman who bat their lashes at me. My so-called religion is why I don't start insulting everyone who doesn't agree with me or see things my way. My so-called religion is thus helping me make the world livable for others, one life at a time. You just don't understand, my friend. And you have no idea what you're talking about when you say separate religion from secular issues. What do you even mean by secular issues? Like workplace issues? My religion is why I don't undermine the company or people I work with. I mean, what are you even talking about? I doubt you know. You're not born again simply because you don't understand. There's no way you wont become one if you did.

Martin0:


I have known this for years..

These ladies don't practice what they say or what people think of them. ...

infact I can bet my Ass on every lady

einsteine:
Chimamanda is being a feminist because that's the in-thing and she has been able to reap financial and social rewards by being seen as a feminist. Literary wise, her writing is average; it's only by beating the feminism drum that she has been able to get known.

crazymommy:
Even ladies that cannot afford good bra unless their boyfriends buy it for them sef dey claim feminist for nairaland.... they do forget feminism when money is involved....hypocrites...

lexy2014:
if achievement and social status was d criteria, that means that chimamamda wasn't qualified to talk 2 Hillary Clinton. If a person decides 2 call himself/herself a fool on their Twitter profile, whose business is it? On one hand, she is talking about d freedom of women, on d other hand she is criticising another woman exercing her right and freedom 2 call herself a wife and mother. When has becoming a wife and mother become a bad thing? If chimamanda wants 2 put professional title first on her Twitter handle she should knock herself out. If other women want 2 put wife&mother first, it doesn't make them any less. No matter what u are or ur achievements are as a man or woman, u will still go home. It all ends with u & ur family

CSTR1003:

I am tired of explaining this. It seems a lot of you are thick in the head.

Hilary Clinton ran on a feminism ticket. A lot of her supporters voted for her as a supporter of modern feminism and all it entails.
Chimamanda one of the leading global voices of feminism endorsed her.

She has a right to call hilary on her bullshitt.
