Men marry women praying they don't change. Women marry men hoping they'll change. Both are punished for it. Immensely.

I’ve realised how much I value the freedom of not wearing it. I find the maintenance strangely restrictive. You can’t casually rub your eyes, cry, wipe your face, sneeze without thinking about it or just exist without being conscious of what’s happening to your face.

What do you think those stories about men who have a wife in the village and another in town, or a wife in their home country and another abroad, really are?

[JayNaija @JayNaija]

One thing I keep asking myself after watching the Polygamist is whether women like Essie really exist today. She was constantly pushed aside, yet she rarely stood up for herself. The moment that shocked me most was when her husband introduced her as his brother’s wife in front of another woman, and she simply accepted it. No confrontation, no outrage, nothing.

To me, that character feels unrealistic. Most women today, regardless of how patient or reserved they are, would react strongly to that level of disrespect. It made me wonder if the writers exaggerated her silence to drive the story, because it’s hard to believe someone would tolerate that without eventually reaching a breaking point.

Or do you think women like Essie actually exist?

Maybe I am old fashioned, but man, I don’t know why these athletes, musicians and celebrities are always exchanging the same women. I don’t understand it at all 🤷��‍♂️

Me to me:You did good, baby girl! I am absolutely proud of you!!😊

People in the quotes and replies aren’t even clocking the main issue here which is that men have mastered the art of discrediting women’s achievements under the guise of faux criticism as long as it doesn’t revolve around them. Whether it’s women bagging degrees, losing weight, acquiring wealth or celebrating a milestone, there’ll always be a man to belittle and minimize it

@EKabanda They help others because they know firsthand what it’s like to ask and be told no. So they give, hoping that when it's their turn, they won’t have to ask.

Chioma and Obiora "Odogwu" from Love in Every Word on Omoni Oboli’s TV on YouTube remind me so much of Ogechi and Zulu from The Marriage Class by Adesuwa O'man Nwokedi.

P.S. Ogechi and Zulu were my favourite couple, so it’s no surprise I loved the movie!

You are overating people's ability to talk😂

[Okong' Okuna @XivTroy]

Somewhere in Nairobi, someone is paying 40K to join an "exclusive" dating club. And I want to scream, just talk to your neighbor. Colleague. Friend's brother. Literally, just talk and walk. Romance does not need workshops and seminars.

Man will die, as many have. On a cold night or dreary morning. Everything goes: it is fate's decree. But today we eat, we breathe, & laugh. We live. Until we can't. Then it is beyond us.

Stop calling us out like that!!! 😭

You will feel all the emotions as you read both these books by Chimeka Garricks.The way he tells his stories will demand it.

And after you're finished with them,you will never be the same again.

Why she didn't take that last call from him is what broke me completely!!!
