You know parasailing? Yes, that one. The one you floats in the air in a parachute while being towed by a speedboat. Not scary at all. Take it from me, it is so much fun. I went on it, and I am alive to tell you all about it.
Feminism is often used in the context of fighting men for control, but I do not share this view. Feminism, to me, is a fight to live exactly as I wish, with no barriers. I don’t want to be forced into a corner just because I am female. I want to make my own decisions, not have someone make them for me.
When an intense person is triggered they don’t stop until they get results. Hence, most of them are successful in their chosen career. They dig their teeth into something and won’t let go until that thing gives. It is a trait that has its upsides and downsides.
Is it really unhealthy not to forgive someone who wronged you? Coming from a very religious background and a society like Nigeria, I am expected to agree and preach the importance of forgiveness. I am going to disappoint a lot of people by saying I do not agree.
Have you heard of Breast Ironing? This especially common among certain Africans? I admit this is a new one for me. To think that this is a very common practice in Cameroon, a close neighbour of Nigeria- my home country- and I am completely in the dark is not just a wonder but troubling too. That goes to show you that we learn every day.
I am an African by birth and by my whole being. I absolutely love my Africanness. It is in me. Just as I love my country of birth, Nigeria. I am a true Nigerian and African in all ramifications. But I refused to support or endorse bad behaviours just to show solidarity for Africans or the Black Race.
What’s up with you? No one is allowed to have an opinion anymore just so you won’t be upset. Get real, and stop being touchy about every subject under the sun. These days people can’t have opinions without being attacked.
I hope you have heard loud and clear what she is saying to you. Especially those raising your daughters not to be assertive, killing their self confidence as the only way to get them husbands. This is dangerous.
