When I was with this guy as a teenager/in my early twenties, where I drew the line was he hitting me. He never did hit me, but he messed me up on so many fronts. He messed up my self esteem, he manipulated me, he gaslit me into thinking I was crazy and undesirable, he […]

Special Ops: Lioness I stopped watching this movie because it’s just bullshit wrapped up as “feminism.” It’s liberal feminism plus US nationalist and capitalist propaganda. Femme fatale or using women to invade other countries, neo-colonise them and steal their resources under the guise of “protecting” those countries is nonsense. The US can’t even

The marriage institution is built basically on the exploitation of women, it is a sham, and a smokescreen to exploit women of their economic values. And it is sold as a “must have” for all women. When the Russian revolution failed, we would see that Stalin relegated women from the factories back to homes

Let’s talk about Social Media and Feminism. If there is something Nigerian women should be grateful for, it is the ability to share our thoughts via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok. I mean, the chances that anybody harms you is next to nothing. You can be anonymous. Feminism in Nigeria gained momentum because of Social

Pretty or beautiful is a subjective adjective and I’ve always thought I had a pretty face but not a pretty body… Until recently. And my confidence spiked, and I’ve been regaling in all my sensuality. This year, however, I’ve been getting a lot of male attention especially on the streets and it has, in

I’m going to be 27 soon (27? Honestly, I feel so younger than that!) and this year, my heart is just full. I am happy about my life, I am grateful for my lessons, I’m very grateful for the people who have come into my life (and gone). I used to hate that I’m
Humans have a very weird relationship with money and women’s bodies and this is how. Humans woke up one day, decided to give pieces of papers values and categorized people as “rich” or “poor” based on the amount of these pieces of paper they have. Calling money “pieces of paper” has stripped money of
Peter Obi‘s supporters dragged Sowore when he released his WASSCE results and I laughed and enjoyed every bit of it. I am absolutely not a fan of Peter Obi either; they’re birds of a feather, one is only more popular because he’s not trying to play both sides like his counterpart masquerading like he’s a
