Time to think deeply about this crippling British Brutish Contraption

Don't be deceived.

Nigeria's condition is now very similar to ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell.

Where, it was explicitly stated that all "Animals are equal, but some are more equal, than others"

Abeg which God is Oshiomole praying to? Guess it's the one that gave him the inspiration to say;

The All Progressive Congress (APC) has said once those who looted the nation’s treasury join its fold, all their sins will be forgiven.



The national chairman of the ruling party, Adams Oshiomhole, stated this on Thursday at the presidential campaign rally held in Benin, the Edo State capital.



.......Once you join the APC, all your sins are forgiven,” the top APC official said.

Jealousy is a sickening thing. Go and blow too, let the people of the world name their kids after you. See if you will get tired of your name then, whatever the heck it is.

I don't have issues with the foreign feminist because they understand the true meaning of the word.. But in Nigeria they abuse it. And it's causing so many break up in marriages that's why we don't like her over here.
Chimamanda herself is happily married, hilary Clinton, mitchell obama, Angela markel, theresa May, Beyonce etc all these woman are feminist but understand the true meaning. You can't be a feminist and be dependent and leave your responsible as a woman for a man or you can't forgive because you're too big.
Hilary Clinton husband cheated they're still together same for Beyonce. But people like Toke makinwa an co who didn't know when the struggle started carry feminism like igele.
Feminism is all about respect equal opportunities not disrespecting your boyfriend or husband because you think you're equal.. Feminism is logical no be gra gra.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wore a huge smile on her face when a Spanish fan told her that she named her daughter Chimamanda, after the writer.



The Half of a Yellow Sun author is in Cartagena, Colombia, where she was invited to deliver the inaugural Gabriel Garcia Marquez lecture at the Hay festival.



Following the lecture, Ms Adichie met with fans and it was a very emotional one for her, with a big fan, who could speak neither English nor Igbo, letting her know that she named her granddaughter after her.

Sharing a video of the encounter, Chimamanda wrote:

Nigerians should adore her simply because white people adore her? You have spoken like a true illiterate. And you have self-esteem issues.

But feminism didn't say u should not get married nor cook for ur husband,
It's only saying u don't see a woman as ur slave or house girl.

There is nothing Amazing About that, Nigerians/Africans have been Naming their children white man's name since the British came with their Fake Religion Christianity. From Mike, Anthony, christopher, Stephen, mary, catherine, Levi, Gabriel and lots more, All those names are white man's bloody name. and africans don't even know the meaning of that white man's Names.


So it's about time whitys start naming their children chimamanda, Okechukwu, chioma and all that sheet!!

Exactly that's the true meaning of feminism but in Nigeria it's different. The feminist I've met and the once that comment online with thier actions they see cooking or doing house chores as slavery. They try to copy everything from the Western world. I've a couple of white friends who cook 24/7 for thier husband, do laundry and still work. That's what our mother's and still doing. Feminism is very logical you can have your man wash your undies for you in a logical way. But when you do it forcefully It becomes a fight and misunderstanding comes in.
For example if a guy wants to collect something from his babe he does it with logic knowing fully well is not her sole responsibility to provide for him. But if a guy forcefully ask you for something the possibility of having a misunderstanding is high. Because you'll see as abuse.
