We are not at war with men. We just want to count!

(First published on 8th March 2020)

"Several African societies reflect systems with ranging degrees of dual sex hierarchies in which men and women exist in parallel and complimentary positions and roles within the society." - Catherine Acholonu in her 1995 book, Motherism: The Afrocentric Alternative to Feminism ( A fall out from her experiences at the "Beijing Conference").

Happy International Women's Day!! As we celebrate, please remember that gender equality or generation equality is about partnership between women and men, complementarity between the sexes; as the wellbeing of both are equally important if we are to achieve the development we seek.

We are not at war with men. We just want to be heard. We need to count. But the way we say what we want to say matters. The way we do what we want to do matters.🤗😘

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.
