We preach Equity. We live in our own falsehood, everybody knows Equity is unafrican, from the smallest unit of the African family to the extended family: it begins with the feeding money given to us by our fathers, to the money allocated by the government, being fair and impartial is so unafrican that those who try to practise it is cursed and could even be mobbed.
We take an example of the one time president of Nigeria, Good luck Jonathan, Many Nigerian deems him a failure, what's their major issue? Primary data reviews that, he was busy developing the North instead of his place. I thought equity is to be impartial and fair? What's being a failure in developing the northern area of Nigeria that requires development? What's the curse in building school to educate the lost mind?
It shows our very own heart abhors equity, and yet we go around preaching it. We use it when we want to be wicked, when oppressing the victims is about playing out, when we wants to be manipulative and gets the people's vote.
Equity preaching is the mask we wear, to appear good and 'for the people's yet as we look over the cheering crowd we preach equity to, we know, it's is our pocket we are filling, we'll use their money to build our kid, fly them abroad and keep them safe. Whilst we deliver a planned speech on equity.
With Equity failure being a vital part of our African community, it is absurd to bring it up in the protest against feminism. To say a woman should be given a fair and impartial treatment when we know equity isn't our culture is the height of being double sided, to lie in our own very teeth, and to play AFRICAN!
the woman will never get fair treatment in African, even our very culture forbids the word Equity, hence the need for feminism, to make the voice of the unheard be heard, say it is one sided, Africa has always been.
I have always say this, there would be no need for feminism if women weren't relegated, the founding mothers of this noble course won't fight for it if it was seen and practised. If the aggrieved men had practised the equity they clamor, if they had dealt with their wives in love........
