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."

Our gift and service to humanity. Most successful people who walked this earth; regardless of being early or late bloomers, their background, physical or mental abilities or the period they lived, have one thing in common – they

How to neutralize the hot taste of pepper in your soups

It happens to us all the time. We put in more than enough pepper in our native soups – egusi, okro, bitter leaf, oha, ogbono etc., and then start wondering how to remedy the situation. Some add more water to dilute the taste of pepper but while this may be a bit effective, guess what happens? It makes your soup watery. The best method I have used to reduce the taste of pepper in my soup is by adding some more palm oil. That’s my secret! You may be wondering if the soup won’t have more oil than necessary. My soup comes with just enough palm oil so that if there is the need to add some more oil for taste, colour, etc., I can do so without making the soup too oily. I hope this tip was useful.
