Gender Inequality is a Weapon of Divide and Rule

Gender Inequality is a Weapon of Divide and Rule - Catherine Acholonu

First published March 17, 2020.

"My theory of MOTHERISM which is founded on #traditional #African #cosmology sees #gender inequality as a weapon of divide and rule introduced into #Africa by the political and religious colonizers of #Europe and #Arabia to weaken and destabilize the African social and domestic environment, for the woman was traditionally the backbone of all #traditional African societies. Therefore to conquer Africa, the colonizers had to first depose the woman from all the sectors where she held away as the counterpart/partner of the male e.g. Governance,

economy, agriculture, leadership and priesthood."

.
The African woman once enjoyed a dual-sex system of governance where both men and women had equal in leadership and decision making.
.
"Motherism is based on the traditional African complimentarity of the sexes, realizing that men and women are not equals, but opposites."

Before you buy that Valentine's gift, read this

Ever had the experience of spending weeks or even months preparing for Valentine’s Day and buying what you felt was the perfect gift, and as the days build up to that romantic and sensual moment, BAM! Something happens and you break up. The gifts are either stuck with you or you hate yourself for gifting them out in the first place to someone you would now call an asshole? The season of love is here again, a time for sharing, exchanging gifts and most definitely spending. Have you ever noticed that a lot of time and money goes into planning to get our loved one(s) and partner(s) the best Valentine’s Day gifts, and that many-a-time, we end up buying the wrong gifts or indulging in irrelevant spending? Valentine’s Day is expensive and millennials are the biggest spenders, followed by the generation before them.

#EndSARS, Women, Peace and Security

Nigerian women have not spoken loud enough against the attacks on the #EndSARS protesters (a peaceful protest which is now being criminalized), or about related atrocities currently going on in Nigeria. Clearly, Nigeria has failed our young generation. What hopes do young people have in a country which sees youths as threats rather than opportunities for development? Their opinions don't count when it comes to nation building but when it comes to elections, they become relevant for adding up the numbers and for thuggery.
