This post shows that we all are deeply flawed and imperfect but we are capable of becoming great leaders and culture shapers. No one can tame their frailties all together we still live with our demons.

When people say mean things I immediately realize that it is coming from a deep and dark place. I empathize and feel so sorry for them I want to know who hurt them in such a manner that will elicit bile and venom.
@Leemah_A
Coming from a convert you'd love it here. Welcome He is always talking and always listening sometimes when you don't hear Him doesn't mean He isn't speaking. Much Love.
@ayosogunro
The one blessed with gifts is married. The girl getting pampered is single. Being tethered in marriage is the Nigerian clause for respect and regard. Single girls/women are not worthy of such accolades, it's almost as if they are plagued by a debilitating disease.
@AfamDeluxo
Should they put their lives on hold while man hunting? You do realize that desperation makes us take stupid decisions or settle for just anyone because we are lonely. I'm just musing sha. Harsh reality not everyone would get married the earlier we make peace with this,the better.
@t0nit0ne
A friend who recently got married a few months ago started speaking in derogatory terms about single/divorced women. She got upset when I said marriage should not be the only goal she attains.
@sugabelly
I'm so sorry..I grew up in Kaduna, I'm a Christian Convert born into a Muslim home but I have experienced animosity first hand. I've been lynched twice,had to leave an area wearing someone's hijab. It's so upsetting that people invalidate these happenings.
@OgbeniDipo
Women hold themselves back because our competency in the work place is always doubted. Most times the assumption is, we would do better in the 'kitchen' and 'other room.'
Men have difficulty because in their opinion woman should be subservient and never in a place of authority
@TheOliviaMead
"next time when people give you a platform". The god-complex he has is very irritating. I hope she learns from this. She had no friend or support system at all. Very sad.
@tosinolaseinde
Church has enabled bad behavior for years on end it's almost as if they think abuse is one of the persecution women should face because of Christ. Very erroneous.
@Aphrodeity_
I started talking about this some years back and discovered I was going against the grain.When I spoke about Ethics,Values Civility at work I'd get sniggers and comments like Aunty you no go rich o,you go do good woman and remain broke. We need a do over. An absolute overhaul.

@BlessingsDigha
There is power in collaboration,I love that women are beginning to see the unique giftings/skillsets and talents in other women and partnerships are developing and thriving. I don't want my daughter to ever be at a mans mercy because I didn't give her a legacy of a wealthy mind.

Till today it remains the same way..northern tribe not competence first and even the competent ones amongst them are relegated to the background.

You have raised insightful points, however marriage does not tame promiscuity. There is no price to be put on a woman or biological clock those things have actually caused women to make poor decisions. We all age, irrespective of gender..life happens to the best of us.
@daddychimes
@Morris_Monye
Well it's not just because I'm his mother, let me clear that first...I believe very strongly in the giftings and talents of children, mine and other children inclusive. Everyone is innately blessed with both virtues. That being said, I'm as serious as a heart attack

My son has been playing since he was 5, he is 10 now I'm seriously searching for leagues that train 10 year olds so I can retire early and be his manager😊😊

Another kettle of fish my sister, it's either you let your light be dimmed or you develop a thick skin and build a resolve to pursue your ambition and purpose no matter what.
@theglowstitches
I can relate to those saner times,My friend Bola he'd cook and we'd all sit on the floor and eat, we'd go for parties and the boys would make sure we got home safely afterwards. No airs nothing the bond is still as strong as it was when I met them 18years ago.
We may feel entertained with the way Nigerian is being run, but deep down, we are sinking.
The midday sun is looking dark. The midnight moon isn't smiling.
Our common wealth is supposed to freely go round, but a few make it look scarce.
How can we return power to the people?
@tosinolaseinde
The pain I feel ehnnnn God help me. I pray that all women will never be helpless I pray that women don't marry their enemies in the quest for marriage. I pray they don't spend all their lives binding the strongman and the strongman is sleeping right next to them. Ha💔💔💔💔Godd
@Abidoye_Zainab
Good for you babygirl you have so much more to live for. Marrying someone 30 years older than you would have crippled you completely and trust me your dreams will also be shattered.

Amen ...he has to actively work against it and be determined not to turn out like him because most negative patterns are repeated quite unfortunately.
@ZariyiYusufu
@PoliceNG
Hmmmmm, the hate was subtle and quiet and behind the scenes plus manipulations/punishments. Have they become more brazen now? Picking people up for their faith??Wow let's see how far this goes. The hornets nest is being stirred violently.
@julietkego
I've likened this unfortunately sad tale to the story of Leah and Jacob. Once a woman is unloved she doesn't thrive, and sometimes the foreboding issue of death (Princess Di) comes in. Live truly and fully and know when a situation doesn't serve relationship wise (even marital)
@KhloeUmoh
While the idea of clubs and restaurants are great and fantastic, more recreational areas are needed if you ask me. We have a largely youthful demographic in Nigeria and not all our time will be spent in clubs or restaurants.
@Franeb
@NOIweala
I said this and I got flak. People said I will never know the true depth of myself until power is given to me. Any power that will make me a**kiss I dont want it. I'm not without blemish but an Ethos and Creed has to define a Man in his life's journey. I've chosen my path.
@Okpannachi
@KhloeUmoh
I agree. I have to drive all the way from Kuje where I live, to Wuse, Maitama or Central Area just for my kids to have fun. I've been thinking of what to do about it. We really need more recreational areas.
@AbRaheemmuhd
@ladi_etti
I'm so glad your mentality ascends beyond stifling traditions and religious beliefs I grew up in the North I know firsthand what bigotry feels like,the kids who were my friends when we were young, no longer talk to me because of our faith differences it shouldn't be so.
Dont be blindsided by tribes,varying faiths or religions.
Be Unstoppable.. bask in the greatness that is your birthright.
What Nigeria will you bequeath to your future generations?

Ruthlessly insult? An obvious reality ...does everyone grow old? Yes. Nobody on the face of this earth will have their ages reversed so there is no need to be mean or make hurtful statements. It's only people who are broken that seek to tear others down.
@MercyE__
Being Married and alone is terrible. Just putting it out there. A reminder to be intentional about your future partner so you don't end up doubly unhappy not because you are about to clock 30 or are 30+.
@Hauwauthman
That's beautiful . Would love to give you pointers on immigration service rules and ethics for expatriates particularly and you could also expand your reach for Nigerians in diaspora. All the very best. Fly High.

@AkwariCharles
The effects of placing a novice in sensitive roles just because they come from a certain tribe or religion. The damage is long-term. I've said too much o make I go🏃🏃🏃🏃since I work for The MAN.
@Mazigburugburu1
The thing is we should be all things to all men, wealth, power, status has been wrongly defined by young people today; sadly young women as well. Material possessions dont define anyone they simply accentuate the innate personality and character.

@OtunbaToba
Ladies should start to realize that it's okay to ask for more. If it's too hard to give then he is not just your person. If he is, he'd be willing to figure out more ways to make you happy. Sadly they feel they are doing us a favor and continue to give the barest minimum.

Across board in Nigeria military and paramilitary personnel are underpaid, overworked and disgruntled. You work and your superiors take the lion's share home. If there is a lot of proper remuneration morale will be high attitude to work will improve, corruption will be curbed.

@spiceofyurrlife
Saw the original post on Instagram some days ago. Great thought line from the poster. She really encapsulated power dynamics in relationships. I'm glad to see you learnt from the post word for word.
So heartwarming for me. Leadership and Governance are part and parcel of a woman's intricate makeup. No trivializing these tough cookies. They are real ones. We should catch on soon enough.
The global average of women in parliamentary positions recently reached a historical high: 25.5%🎉
Though we are still decades away from global gender equality, here are some countries with the highest female representation in their parliaments

@Umkhitha
I love this for you Mami.. watch some trolls still try to shove it down your throat that the men approaching you are doing that for a quick fix. They will ask why you are still unmarried because to them a woman's marital status is what defines her ultimately.
@Tutsy22
The person who offered is the main culprit it's not the person who accompanied gaskiya. The man who doesnt respect his house and values his family will sneak off on a getaway with a side piece. Kai ba kyau fa. I can imagine how pained and embarrassed his wife feels.
@timidakolo
This rings so true for me especially with the challenges I experienced this year. God help me and give me discernment. I don't have many friends but I've experienced too much hate from people. 💔💔💔💔

Great job you put in there. However can there be more significant montages of our own achievements in our country or a pan of our different tribes.
I graduated with a third class and I struggled with going back to school because I thought I'd fail again.I've discovered I'm highly cerebral and I didn't put in as much effort as I should have in my undergrad years. I've dust myself and gotten up. Grades don't define anyone.

Ladies, did you ever, at one point, think you were ugly? And then, crossed a certain age and immediately started seeing how beautiful you are and how you ever even conceived the thought that you were ugly?

Oh I speak English very well. I can't help myself. I'm a walking living breathing Thesaurus. Shouldn't be your problem sweetheart.
On a second thought, Adamu Garba is the biggest cash out guy of all APC presidential aspirants that would be losing the race. Their 100M is gone while Adamu Garba goes home with 83M. At all, at all, nai be winch!
This is tragic, my heart bleeds..he should have been given a chance to explain his side of the story.Some people still have mind fragility and process trauma differently.Justice and fairness should be applied in all our dealings, who would believe the real victims now???
@TheAbimbola
It actually isn't nothing they did. It is a build up of resentment over time. I think we should be open to the fact that people in relationships evolve, change is our only constant. The person you met at 20 or 25, 40 or 45 will not be the same person 20 years later.
@jassjegs
You are not doing bad my brother. You haven't insulted your profession or your country.Our formations can be better. People will always want to serve their country. Let them do it with Joy Pride Fairness and Justice. Under favorable conditions and with good incentives. Selah
@Ade__adepeju
It's always going to irk you, however that name is the essence of your light shining brightly. I get snubbed, sometimes even mocked but I dont let it bother me. I explain my love with Christ with glee.
I found out the meaning of my name Zainab it makes it even more worth it.
I have so many funny valentine stories. In secondary school my val Abdullahi tall,dark and full of mouth🤭🤭 gave me a gold necklace set. I was so giddy. Next day at school, his Mum shows up🤭🤭😂😂turns out it was hers. I had to return it under a cloud of shame😂😂😂.

@sugabelly
I'm from the Middle Belt which makes it doubly worse. We are not recognized as true muslims. We are termed as slaves. From a young age, I questioned a lot of things. I'm profiled negatively by some extremists in my office because I'm Christian. The matter is long.
@FS_Yusuf_
The assumption is what irks me and the guts to even spew that opinion out loud. So everyone bearing an Arabic name should be claimed???Nah theyve been enabled for too long
My gifts will make room for me,henceforth. It will open doors for me. Kings will come to the brightness of my light. Kings will speak of me in rooms where I can't speak for myself. Kings will rise to my defense and protect me from my detractors. In my lifetime I will see it.
