The reason those brothers were unable to hurt Lola Omotayo even more than gossiping in blogs is simply because her father is wealthy, and that wealth is also partly why they resented her too. Her fathers money was a shield. If she was from a poor HOME, she’d have seen HELL…
A moving woman will eventually understand feminism.
It is sacrosanct to your self actualisation that you see yourself worthy of the highest form of respect as a human being and not anything less because you’re a woman.
Again, a moving woman WILL learn feminism.
Anytime your married brother or sister who is living in America or Europe wants to take your mother to abroad with them,
Here are things that you need to do to make sure your Mom is not turned to a house Maid:
1) Before she leave, agree on a verbal sign she will give you to indicate she is at home alone and is able to communicate.
2) Make sure that you make it clear to your sibling that your mother must be provided with her own cellphone.
3) Make sure that they provide you the full address of their residence - you can now use google to get the address and phone number of their nearest Police station.
4) Make it clear to them that any day that Mama say that she is going home, that she is to be put in the plane within 2 weeks.
Our mother is not your Babysitter - she has raised her own children, go and raise your own.
She can assist with her grandchildren but that has to be willingly.
YOUR MOTHER IS NOT YOUR MAiD!
One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, “Nope. I will not be participating.”
A lot of you never held any leadership role prior to marriage. Not your offices, not in associations you belong to, not even headboy of your primary school, so marriage is the one place you finally get to be the local champion leader you’ve been having wet dreams about.
Pathetic
“A married woman is a diety. You do not sleep with a diety.”
But you fit beat diety.
You fit cheat on diety.
You go carry infection from outside come give diety .
Shishi u no dey give diety.
Chike spices we thank u ooooooo
Nobody loves their mother more than misogynistic men, they love her for her pain, suffering and sacrifices. And they resent every other voman who is unwilling to do same.
In my opinion, it's because in the "real world", - so where what matters is financial, political or social power, a lot of them have none. The only place they have any power they can wield, is at home, and they use the rage of that irrelevance to punish their wives.
I'm bored of saying it, but any Yoruba person reading this should please remember that there will still be life after Tinubu.
His mission to turn you and Igbo people into enemies for the sake of his short-term political interest will only spoil your life for no reason.
She didn’t realize she had married a “good man” who would slowly disappear.
At first, his quietness felt like peace no shouting, no drama, no ego. Just calm. But little by little, she noticed she was the one making every decision. Fixing every problem. Speaking up when things went wrong. Even defending him in rooms he should have stood up in himself.
When bills got tight, she pushed. When family crossed boundaries, she confronted them. When life got hard, she carried it. He? He stayed quiet. Avoided conflict. “Anything you say” became his anthem.
One day, she looked around and realized she wasn’t a wife anymore she was the man of the house, the protector, the fixer the everything.
And the danger isn’t that he’s gentle. It’s that when life demands strength, presence, and backbone, a timid man leaves you standing alone in battles that were never meant to be yours.
Nigeria makes my job as a novelist incredibly difficult because it is always seven steps ahead of my imagination and so immune to satire, irony, or farce by the sheer ridiculousness of its inventions.
“Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?”
So you think in my twenty six years of life, na you wan be the first to tell me, if you don’t koshi kuro niwaju mi.
I've been following that conversation on cohabitation,
My submission is more of an observation.
Nigerian Christians have an unspoken hierarchy when it comes to sins.
Premarital sex is a beheadable offence.
You see other sins, they get a waveable pass.
