We are not united as a nation or as a continent how then can we fight the discrimination of blacks in the other parts of the world when we shout afonja,ipob etc either is even evident on NL.People typing tribalistic and hateful comments on Nl that want to stand up to western authorities.

Iamgrey5: That's because you didn't not read even my first post that's why you don't understand me. It will not make sense to you because you have no sense as well. Feminism exist because of white women. It's their biggest challenge. Our challenge as Black people including men as well is racism. White women use Black women to fight their battles making you loose focus of the biggest battle which is racism that is also perpetuated by them ( white women ) Feminism is a tool to create tensions between African genders because they cannot openly use racism anymore. Get some sense. 5 Likes |

Robynwelo1: That's rubbish. All this stems from racism and white supremacy created by white people.. Feminism is not your biggest problem. Racism to both African men and women is a problem. BOTH genders are victims. 4 Likes |

chineloSA:@ emboldened Societies evolve and customs/social norms change all the time. it is called civilization Just because something was accepted within a society at a particular point in time doesn't mean it's the best way to do things...... Just like we have allowed mobile phones to change the way we communicate eventhough the mobile phone is not necessary our invention, we can always give woman's liberation movement the same opportunities. Besides, the western societies were not always pro feminism like you are trying to insinuate, there was a time in history when white woman also only had one role to play in the society and it was in the home. 1 Like 1 Share |

chineloSA:Perhaps your grandparents were enlightened enough. Mine weren't so enlightened, hence they considered it a waste of resources sending my mom to school since her education would end in a man's kitchen. Unfortunately, non of her male siblings that were allowed to go to school then made progress in education. Racism is a different thing from feminism, and even among us blacks we still discriminate against one another on the bases of nationality, tribes, religion etc. Even here in Nigeria, tribalism, regionalism and statism exist amongst us. Do you know that even in some states in Nigeria, some people are still classed as "slaves" while others are considered "freeborn" Even the racism against blacks by the whites is a child's play compared to the level of discrimination amongst us. You say that whites discriminate against us yet many blacks are living freely, working and even aspiring to leadership positions in white man's lands. In my state in Nigeria, some people are considered as "Osu" and are not allowed to hold leadership positions. Guess the whites should also be blamed for that? So, let's not mix feminism with racism. If we want to tackle racism let's start from ourselves! 2 Likes 1 Share |

chineloSA:lol You argue with so much emotions and very little logic You have resorted to insults to drive your points home your points Our problems as blacks transcends racism, we also have the problems of bad leadership and low self confidence. Notwithstanding, we cannot ignore certain problems around gender inequality within our societies, if you have ever been to the north of this country, you will see enough evidence of this. 1 Like 1 Share |

AmazonTopaz: The way you are so stupid you think an African can be racist. Racism is a system of power created to advance one race at the expense of another race. Racism is power to control resources and means of advancement. Africans can not be racist. We have no power. We do not have power to control anything while oppressing other races. You don't even understand yourself. I still put it to you that Feminism has got nothing to do with advancement of black women, but advancement of white women. You are not on par with white women to be demanding to be equal with their male counterparts. Feminism is used to sow divisions between African genders. African men are equally victims of racism which creates gender equality, so they have nothing to offer us. How do we demand equality from people who never even created inequality. African men did not created gender inequality. They co-created gender roles with us but never stopped us from advancing to anything we wanted.So we cannot demand gender equality from them, when they didn't create it. Just like we cannot demand African men to end racism because they didn't create it. They are equally victims. Believe white women's propaganda at your own peril. It doesn't have your African interests at heart but theirs. By the way I didn't even ask you to debate nonsense with me. You chose to. Bye. 3 Likes |

AmazonTopaz: My dear in my world I demand submission because the woman that brought me into this world is up till date submitted and obedient to her husband, she was a highly respected career woman, reached the peak of her profession. She inculcated that into her daughters: 5 girls. 2 are doctors, and all her girls are graduates. The ones that are married are respected in their homes and by their husband's people. Feminist my foot. You guys should keep on deceiving yourselves, woman fighting what right with man? There are people you can tell those. And mind you I am a very good responsible man. I love, care for, pamper, nourish, take care of and cherish my woman. And she submits willingly because she knows that no one will love and take care of her like me. 3 Likes |

Fitbillionairep: u r an idiot. I pray u fall in love and marry a man who would treat u like crap and beat u. You people don't like it when successful and independent women try to set good precedent. This strong women that try to change the statusquo for young girls. Women that would be an example to your daughters and daughter's daughter. Women that would show young girls that in a world of masochist, uncaring male world , a strong independent woman can make it. stupid people like u come to type rubbish every time. You think when this strong women like Chimamanda glorify feminist stand they say it out of frustration. They could have very well enjoyed their independence and success in silence. But they chose to come out with it to set a good precedent- cos ur their story will have a big impact on society now and in d future. But u self absorbed idiot like DT DJ Cuppy, try to shun them and make a mockery of feminism. At least Cuppy has her father's money and she is not likely to deal with issues on male dominance and intimidation on a daily. You what do u v? In a nutshell Nigerians cannot embrace feminism because the culture of setting good precedence is lacking. It is systemic, our biggest problem. Why do u think politicians embezzle a lot of money. They yield to man's selfish nature, nobody cares to live by example. Nobody stands for anything, no one would try to set good institutions, values and ethics because they feel it doesn't affect them. They are all myopic. They don't know that the rotten system they leave is what their generations would come to face. You can't be there forever. Let's have a rethink. When a woman says she is feminist, she is only acknowledging her strength and independence and it is what your generation would come to benefit. Let's raise girl s to think they are equal to boys and let boys be raised to know that a girl is not supposed to grovel before them. 1 Like |

Feminism advances White Women's agenda only. Which most of their agendas have already been addressed. They just need further advancement.

chineloSA: You think you have done enuf reading but ur writeup is full of propaganda. Saying feminism is a western ideology is just ignorance. Tell me wasn't the ancient Ghana empire running a matriarchal system. If u go back to history u wld be informed with the fact DT some African society promoted polyandry among women. This housewife thing, women running the household for the working class man was actually brought about by western colonialism. Some part of Nigeria women had more farmlands than the men, there the breadwinners. Tell me if that alone won't have demanded respect. Ignoramus 1 Like 1 Share |

chineloSA:@ emboldened says a lot about you Racism is a believe not a system of power In Nazi Germany, during the reign of Adolf Hitler, the Jews were subjected to heavy discrimination and racism to the extent that thousands of them were killed in concentration camps, the neo Nazi flag is widely used across the world today as a sign of racism. in south Africa, around 2013 in the suburb of Jo'burg, thousands of angry black south Africans attacked and destroyed Somali and Ethiopians owned shops because the black South African claimed that they were not black enough. Throughout history. ordinary people have taken decisions to hurt or spite others just because they are not necessarily comfortable with their skin color or opinion. Yet, others have stood their grounds and encouraged diversity, So do let anyone have your hate, or do not allow hatred cloud your sense of judgment If weren't for feminism, >Sexual Assault won't be treated as serious case, by the way, treatment of sexual assault as a serious case is one the main contributions of black women to feminism ( read up on that) >Education for the girl child will be relegated to the background and women like Dr Ngozi iwela or Dora Akuluyi might not have existed >Certain disease that takes the life of women will have relegated to the background And sure, feminism just like any other movement to emancipate mankind has its excesses and flaws which I often disagree with.. Still, I believe the average women's life is a lot better because of the positive activities of feminism. 1 Like 1 Share |

whytemon: See this fool agreeing with me����. With all that you wrote above about Matriarchal society proves that we never had issues with gender roles. A woman was always respected. All this happened in the absence of racism. It was not feminism. It was our own African way of advancing women and respecting their place in our societies. This feminism seeks to empower and leave African men outside, who were and are also victims of racism. So we never had gender role issues or gender disagreements therefore we have racism problem. Advancement of women has never been an issue in our African societies(so says you above). So we agree using the examples of Ghana that women have always had their important place in African society. What's your point because you agree with me. 4 Likes |

For your second question let us see if Aisha al hassan can win Taraba Nigeria has had some deputy female governors in the south west it is only a matter of time for woman to be the governor in a state even if it is twelve years from now. Thirdly,I know few Nigerian female politicians but I have heard of so many women breaking the glass ceilings abroad I can boldly tell you that I am well politically informed than you. Also I am not an egg but a human being so do not try to compare women with such I am not fragile It is an insult to hold such a primitive view on women.In terms of physical strengths yes men are stronger but there are exceptions for some women and technology has made things easier that a man's physical strength is not a 100%required we are not in the stone age.In this age of technology you analytical,intellectual skills etc is required.

chineloSA:u obviously don't know how to argue. I am disagreeing with you slowpoke. This is what u said: DT feminism is a western ideology propagated by white women for their self interest, using black women in the process. I am saying, slowpoke, DT it isn't western, gender equality and even female superiority can be found in some African societies throughout their history. It is this same feminism u disagree with and dislike and attribute to Western women. African women are fighting for their rights and equality. It is not a #metoo campaign, as u guys like to put it.
