Today's Woman

So far, it has been a tireless struggle. In a bid to seperate the tangled connections that have rendered the human race confused about the real position of the woman! Do not revert this message into a feminist movement, and we cannot deny that modernity and civilization has stylishly degraded the worth of women, and we are now looked upon as mere things. There’s a lot of responsibility attached to being female. Many may see this write up as too much analysis of the gender subject matter, because we have a general acceptance that the world is as it is supposed to be. True, but humans factor on most of the issues connected with the dynamic nature of life. There’s a whole lot of factors including shifts in paradigm, era modification,evolution, behavioral patterns, and the overall twist in the designation of gender roles caused by mostly economic factors, knowledge and awareness perceived negatively or positively depending on every individuals level of comprehension. Today as a woman in Africa, there are a lot of benefits we have successfully attained from the long course of gender projects targeted at grooming and elevating the female gender to not only become independent but as a means of reducing the burden placed on the shoulders of men, which in many situations have rendered them ‘villains’. This, they may be unaware of because, they are only focused on the part of ‘sole provider which they play within their immediate or former families neglecting the need for their nurturing sides. As a result of this incomprehensible feeling of being the supreme entity within the family setting, men sometimes display unintentional dictatorial tendencies, fueled by the woman incapacity to fend for herself, the children or render financial support when the need arises. Women on the other hand remain in relationships that have become ‘situationships’ as a means of sacrifice, in order to secure stability for their children. Asides the bitter interpretation a lot of people here in Africa have about feminism or advocacy groups that support feminist movements, there’s this inborn stereotype of a perceived weakness, verbalised into a natural instinctive trait that every woman should possess.

    That notion has only been natured by those who do not really know the virtues of women. They should reflect on their most precious person on the whole wide globe . He will eventually realise it is a woman

Conversations with Self

Image
How often do you talk to yourself? You know-discussions that involve a complete self-reassessment. A mental back-and-forth, an inner discourse, self-reflection that projects into self-examination. To most people, this could mean positive self-talk, alignment with the soul, or strategic intrapersonal communication. Most times, in order to achieve this feat, one needs to be in great alignment with the self. Research has discovered in recent times that about half of the human population does not possess the ability to have an inner dialogue. This is funny and alarming at the same time because, 'what do you mean there are people who do not have an inner voice that speaks to them?' Philosopher Socrates famously asserted that, “The unexamined life is not worth living,” emphasizing the centrality of inner reflection to human existence. Our inner voice plays huge roles. First, it serves as an observer, and second, as a judge of all our actions, speeches, and mannerisms. These are...

If Nigeria Falls.

This phrase, resonates in almost every conversation about Nigeria. The non stop ethnic conflict, tribalism and complete disgust and distrust for each other. This talk about Nigeria's tangibility, started from the very beginning, from the day we developed the idea to rule ourselves. We were handed over a country at the brink of a collapse to handle. A mutation of the place we call home, a make believe development and an obvious hapharzard arrangement of tribes and colonies. As expected from a state, we were supposed to live in peace and try to tolerate one another’s missteps. You cannot control what you do not understand. Nigerians do not understand this new place. Sixty years later, and we still don’t. For a people who easily succumbed to colonialism, and accepted foreign rules without hesitation, self rule is as like a suicide we imposed on ourselves. It was just like trying to tackle a deadly contagion without first making the necessary research required to manouever it. If N...

There was a country "The here and now" - Hassana Suleiman

Methodologically, Nigeria could be diagnosed as unstable and a deteriorate by anyone with a clear view of the outrageous mismanagement, overflow of inhumanity of citizens against one another. A clean proof of the facts that lie within Chinua’s historical observation, perceptions and entire literature inserted into the text of his last book, ‘There Was a Country’. The problem didn’t stem from now, it has its aged roots deeply infused into the Nigerian soil. What we see and hear now are just the fruits borne by the poisonous trees we have failed to chop off. We planted a flytrap and wonder why it snaps its fangs at us. Silly us. Yes, we may claim that Nigeria is one hell of a heterogenous territory and that it may never be possible to achieve national peace, rationalism in ethnicity or religious tolerance, or that corruption as a canker has eaten deeply into the nations fabric but our biggest error was losing history. The country has recieved jabs that has sent it into a trance of ‘e ...
