Proud to be Incorruptible

 The beauty of being a woman comes in various shades. It is the pride of being ‘unbewitchable’ unlike the male gender. For a woman can never be conquered by juju or black magic, only a man can. Only a man can be bewitched to lose his senses and become ‘snatchable’ by another women who disconnects him from his wife. 

This in turn births another strength of a woman, a woman can break such ‘bewitching’ locks through prayer! Glory! Yes! Only a woman can pray her spouse out of infidelity for men are a breed immune to the gift of prayer. So when a woman is unfaithful, society knows, society can tell, a man is not expected to pray his wife back to her marriage for two reasons. One, she cannot be bewitched by another man for she is immune to juju and two, men cannot pray. The absence of the ‘bewitchableness’ of a woman is sometimes called into question particularly at burials of husbands. Yes, we try to make exceptions for women. Only widows can kill their husbands to inherit their property, be it debt or a negative account balance. Widowers are exempt! Of course widowers must be exempt! Women have no earnings, incomes or assets that a husband can covet.

How beautiful it is to be incorruptible in so many ways yet corruptible to the point of fertility for only women can be barren or infertile. Hence, we shall decide, as a nation never to hold spiritual crusades to pray for infertile men. Infertile men? They are a myth! They simply do not exist! Why? How many religious houses have you seen praying for barren men? We simply cannot have them because they are not a part of our society! At best, it is reserved only for Nollywood.  

Oh what the joys are! To be part of a gender that is continuously celebrated. This is why we shall never hear ‘Mama na girl o’ the stark opposite of ‘Mama na boy o’. The beauty of being a man is however nothing compared to that of a woman who is many things. A woman is never allowed to lose form after marriage for she must wage war against the effects of childbirth and keep her figure intact lest she surrenders her husband to wandering beauties. Men on the other hand, we have to graciously grant the privilege of possessing ‘Saki pot-sized’ bellies due to the strong power of beer. 

I am happy to be deemed incorruptible in the face of the several challenges a woman must face and I must say, it is a beautiful way to live!

The Heartbroken Heartbreaker

It took me how long to write this? Probably a million years! This piece is long overdue! Ladies and gentlemen, especially ladies, please do not feel particularly attacked by this piece. I am trying very hard to be honest. Last night, I thought to myself what my response would be if people ever asked me if I've been heartbroken and before I knew it, I had a long speech about how unserious men can be and how women suffer as a result of this. Then it occurred to me that, in the real sense of things, I have never had my heart broken by anybody. Please, please, please, I am not forming wonder woman or holy than thou, it is the simple truth! I came to this realization because, I noticed that if there was ever a time that I felt terrible emotionally it was because of my own expectations and unrealistic guesses. I really don't like to write things about love and relationship and stuff because it gives my readers too much opportunity to get into my head and sometimes, imagine things ...

The Lie of Wisdom and Morals Being Mutually Exclusive.

When we talk of two things as being mutually exclusive, it means that the occurrence of one of them automatically means the absence of the other. That settled, why then do people think that if a person  is wise or a genius, the person most likely will lead an immortal lifestyle? To be honest, I think the main issue is understanding what wisdom means and who a genius really is. Most people feel that to be a genius, one must be different in everything (true to an extent). However, the problem arises when so called wise people go to the extreme. In my opinion, there is a difference between a celebrated person and a genius. As a matter of fact, the real geniuses and wise persons are not really celebrated as much as the 'superficial geniuses'. Just because a person is able to go to daring lengths and try the unknown does not make them a genius, it makes them an explorer. To qualify as a real wise person, to be a genius as approved by worldwide standards, a person must be very cle...
