Kudos to Lola Okoye

Call it IG rant,I call it the essence of a genuine woman,confident in her being..."I didn't really send this babe before now,but wo,I haff shange ma mind walahi!".

“Good morning my beautiful people. Let me share some of my thoughts with you…Whilst some of you are busy losing sleep over someone else’s successes whether it be professional or personal, I am busy celebrating the successes of my fellow woman folk! 

While you are busy tearing a woman down for being aesthetically more appealing than you think you are to the man folk, l am busy giving that woman a thumbs up for adding more colour to the woman folk. 

You see I am confident and grounded and i do not need to bring another down to feel more beautiful; unlike a lot of you who hide behind your smart phones and fake IG profiles just so that you can show us how sick you are by riping another person apart in hopes that you break that person…..God is watching you o! 

My sisters and brothers, age or aging is not a flaw it is actually a great privilege and i thank my God for giving me the grace to come this far. I celebrate everyday like its golden as it is a gift to be alive plus like fine wine, I get better with age and I am proud to be my age unlike a lot of you with your fake birth year but hey whatever tickles your fancy, that’s none of my business. 


I only pray that God gives you all long life and wisdom. Whilst some of you fast and pray and scheme for your fellow woman friend to be unhappy in her marriage or relationship, I stand by that friend as it should be if and when the need arises. 

No one’s life should be your soap opera or reality show. Face yours! No one is perfect! Stop judging. If you cant stand me, stop IG stalking me….damn! If you think i’m bothered then clearly you truly dont know me. 

I stand up for the heart broken woman, I stand up for the dumbed wife, I stand up for the single mums out there, I stand up for the jilted. I stand up for the beaten and abused whether mental or physical. I stand for my fellow woman. God bless us all.”

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with  full-time jobs  still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
