My Response to a VERY STUPIDLY worded article

I am not going to post the article because I do not want to encourage such rubbish disguised as an article. If you want to read it as a reference you can click on the link below.

Below is my response

Ok. I absolutely HATE the tone of this article. There is NO reason, I repeat NO reason why anyone should kills, consider killing, even lay a hand on a woman. These men are cowards and a disgrace to Nigeria and humanity. TUFIAKWA!! What a shame. Women, if you are in an abusive relationship; Speak up! Get help! Get Out! There is no reason why anyone should live in abuse. All these women are hardworking women who came to America and worked hard to make a life for themselves and their family.

Now, the whole attitude about bringing a woman to the USA and her bringing wahala. That idea need to be squashed. If a man is insecure that a woman is working hard to help provide for her family, get over it, get a better job, GET YOUR OWN DANG NURSING LICENSE! Is it only your wife who can go to school for a degree. If you are a controlling husband, you are a dang fool! Onukwu, Do you think a man get's respect by forcing respect??! If you do not know how to carry yourself as a man; with great confidence because you love, support, cherish your family then you have some growing up to do.

I am dissappointed by this umuazi. These small boys of 40,50,60 who call themselves men. You don't get respect by being power hungry. You get respect by loving the people God put in your life. You get respect by loving your family and protecting them not by hurting them. You get respect by taking care of the wife you vowed to love. If your woman offends you, you don't hurt them. You lovingly remember they are human too. They are flawed. You pray for God's grace and you call some responsible brothers to give you good advice.

You handle your wife with care and she will respect you. You don't even have to ask for it. You kill her with kindness and she'll melt.

God! This is not rocket science! I am frustrated that this Aha horo men are ruining for good men like my dad, my brothers and a lot of good Naija men I know and love. Jesus help us all.

Ladies, if you are having problems please find some good people to share it with. God friends that will help you not people pleasers who will advice you to keep quiet and just manage. Find friends who will tell you the truth. Join a good church. Not these churches that are just for fashion shows but churches that preach the truth. Churches that teach good values and character.

Remember you are not alone. DO NOT BE A STATISTIC! PLEASE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAIJA

I just want to use this opportunity to say
HAPPY 48TH BIRTHDAY NAIJA!!!
We have come a loong way since 1960. Unfortunately I have been out of the social networks for a little while and I am out of the loop when it comes to events. I also live in Denton now. Maybe I should take a trip down to Houston this weekend and have a PROPER celebration.

Nigerians (>35) in America Vs. Nigerian Uncles/Aunties in Nigeria

We just had on of our uncles (close family friend) visit us from Nigeria. It was awkward at first but after a short while we got to talking. Unlike what most people expect it seems to me that older (>35) Nigerians that live in Nigeria are more open minded and understanding than their peers in America.



If you grew up in a Nigerian, well at least Igbo, household you will be vvery familiar with the term; what would people back home think about this? It is like I am always on my toes worrying about who is watching and I am not even the type that get satisfaction from pleasing people. I am kinda the "outside the box" or the odd ball in my group of friends and yet I still hear that quiet voice of, what would that aunty say?



It is ironic that it seems like the people who live in Nigeria understand more and are more than the people Nigerians in America. It really feels like our parents are holding on to fears that do not exist.

I know I did not do this blog justice. Does anyone feel me on this one? Do I have something here or am I just trippin??

Maintainance Money: Iji kwa ego?

Horrible message so let's just say it's just comedy. You know there is a lot of talk about Igbo girls and money. They say we love money. Me, now, I be Igbo girl. I won't say I don't money. God has just given me the grace to figure out that there are much better things in life than money and it is one of the most valuable things I have learned as a Christain.

So where does the saying that Igbo girls love money come from? Is this a few bad apples ruining it for us all or do Igbo girls truely love money? What determines love of $$?

Ayways, enjoy the video. It makes me laugh and I think Patience O. is a talented woman, actress and all.



Lyrics

I love you like Nigeria love America visa
I love you like police love 20 naira
I love you like nepa love to take light o
I love you, mama G I ye nkpu Nkpu


I love you like conductor love passenger
I love you like petrol love to catch fire
I love you like government love to owe teacher (lmao!)
I love you mama G Iyo mbo ..?

Look me well.
Na me be mama G
No be only you
Everybody love me
But no be love I go chop
Love no de buy pepe soup
Maintainance money.. Iji kwa ego?
I yo…?

You say you love me
I love you kwa (lol)
O ya prove your love
Bring isi ewu and ojekwu
Mama G must jolli
with maintainance money
Check am well, Iji kwa ego?

Iji kwa ego? Iji kwa ego? Iji kwa ego? Iji kwa ego?

Repeat

Nkwobi and chicken, na maintainance money
Mama G is a chopper. Iji kwa ego?

Pepper Soup and Ojekwu. Na maintainance money
Chef of general. Iji kwa ego?




Get the point??? Lmao! Funtimes!

Sweet Mother

Zule-Zoo

Can somebody tell me why this group was banned in Nigeria. I do not understand the language is the Yoruba or Hausa? What are they saying? Why were they banned? Is it pollitical reasons or moral reason? I like the creativity and the unique, energetic style. What are the justification for the ban?
