To the man who zoomed in on my body and pointed out my stretch marks ...this is how a real woman looks.
This is how a REAL WOMAN looks like - loose skin, saggy, stretch marks.
Ladies - we are PERFECT 👌
The whole ycee conversation wasn't about Peller but about a systemic degradation of our education.
I would expect everyone arguing, dropping think pieces & setting camera to have picked up on that.
No surprise that the uprisen olodos are proving the point of olodo uprising.
@instablog9ja This is the reason the country isn’t moving forward someone said a lot of reasonable things and it’s only the peller own you people are talking about.. Una deserve Una government
What Ycee said about Olodo uprising is very appropriate.
He used Peller as an example and I won’t lie, he’s not wrong. Peller is big already and he’s actually making bread from f00ling.
Ycee is right about what people celebrate nowadays, people no longer give accolades to academic achievements. Look at how poor teenagers performed at JAMB, the government even had to succumb to their low standards.
During our days, if you score less than 250 you’ll be dull till you can prove yourself in the post UTME. I scored 236 in JAMB and I was restless until I was able to score 288 in my post UTME, yet I almost lost my chance of gaining admission. Now they gave 150 as JAMB cutoff mark for universities and 100 for polytechnics.
The scariest part of this whole situation is, they’ll keep on reducing the standards till it becomes a complete mess.
Education is very important, but this contemporary society is making it look ridiculous and meaningless. Yahoo culture is not even the problem because you need brains even if you wanna do yahoo with your life (not promoting crime here) I’m only saying facts.
Even the ones with bright minds wanna be like Peller, believing that this is the kind of life that guarantees fame and success.
Look at 𝕏, educative contents get buried not because of the algorithm, no, some clueless ones will say it’s the algorithm, it’s actually the users. People show less interest in intellect or educational posts. The algorithm pushes posts that people view too much or react too much to. That’s how it happens, the algorithm is heavily influenced by user’s behavior.
F00ling trends more than reasonable posts. The funny thing is everyone must not f00l to make it in life and the ones doing it for entertainment will keep on winning including the ones doing it for survival. The younger generation is watching and learning, that’s Ycee’s point.
Some people are defending Peller, but they failed to get Ycee’s message, this is one of the problems. Ycee is not berating Peller, he’s actually spilling facts, but unintelligent ones will misunderstand completely.
That Olodo uprising comment is apt not gonna lie.
@iamdayoamusa The best thing is to let them be or else they will keep coming and that’s where disrespect set in… sometimes overlooking is the best solution
"PREGNANCY OPENED MY EYES TO HOW DEEPLY PATRIARCHY HAS FAILED NIGERIAN WOMEN. 😫💔
Four pregnancies. Four beautiful children. Three in Nigeria and one abroad.
I was present throughout all four journeys. During the three pregnancies in Nigeria, I attended virtually every antenatal appointment with my wife. Every scan. Every test. Every check-up. I was there. I was also present at the hospital for the birth of all my children. In fact, all four babies were handed to me almost immediately after their mother carried them after delivery. But that is not even where I am going with this.
During those antenatal visits in Nigeria, I would see countless pregnant women looking exhausted, hungry, stressed and worn out. Some would arrive with babies less than a year old strapped to their backs while carrying another pregnancy. And almost every single time, I would be the only man there supporting his wife. The only man.
Every time we got home, I would ask my wife the same question "Where are the husbands of these women? Is this really how women are treated in the hands of this God-forsaken men?" 😫
I was born and bred in Nigeria, nobody teaches all this things. I read and learnt it myself and I understand the fact that a woman should never go through pregnancy alone.
Then I moved abroad. And my eyes opened even wider. During my wife's last pregnancy, despite working full-time, I never missed a single hospital appointment. Not one. And whenever we arrived, the waiting rooms were full of husbands supporting their wives. Men taking notes. Men asking questions. Men carrying bags. Men holding hands. Men showing up. That was when I realized something. Maybe I was not the normal one in Nigeria. Maybe that was why I always looked odd. Because what I was doing abroad was normal. What I was doing in Nigeria was treated like I was doing something extraordinary.
That was when I truly understood how deeply patriarchy has damaged Nigerian men and, by extension, their wives.
Nigerian men, stop this nonsense. Pregnancy was created by both of you. You may never fully understand what these women are going through physically, emotionally and mentally, but the least you can do is support them with your presence. And please, don't ever compare pregnancy to you going to work.
Look at the picture of my wife during our last pregnancy. Look at her tummy. Look at what her body had to go through just to bring another human being into this world. And you dare compare that to any work in the world? Are you mad or something? 😫
After everything pregnancy does to a woman's body, some of you still call women fat. Some of you still call women lazy. Some of you still call women cranky. Some of you still complain about stretch marks. Haaa. 😫 Every time I looked at my wife during those final months, I was genuinely afraid for her. The physical sacrifice alone was enormous. The discomfort. The sleepless nights. The body changes. The risks.
Men, respect these women. Give them their flowers every single day. They deserve far more than a simple thank you. And as for me, I still tell my wife thank you. Thank you for risking your life four different times for our family. Thank you for carrying our children. Thank you for enduring what I could never endure. Thank you for doing something that neither I, my father, my grandfather nor any man who will ever live can do.
African men wake up from your slumber. Women deserve more than gratitude.
They deserve respects"
