Womanity Is Deeper Than That

-


I don't know about feminism but I believe in womanity.

The soft, sweet, beautiful, gracious and charismatic nature of a woman.

Our strength is in our tact, discernment and ability to hold it down / together.

The woman is unbreakable!

We really don't need to form cliques and men hating "covens" in order to fight the systemic subjugation that women face daily.

Rather, we need to build more support systems to help emancipate our minds and empower more women to succeed.

Let them know that they can rise to the occasion anytime, anywhere.

We do not need women with closed minds, scared to dare.

We need more women of confidence, compassion and character. 

Who know their worth and will not be lower the bar. Women can shatter glass ceilings, making room for other women.

Who can spot the signs of misogyny and patriarchy and quickly kill them before they grow.

A woman should never be helpless. Womanity is deeper than that.

When I face obstacles and challenges, I simply adjust my crown, raise shoulder high and walk tall.

Why I Stopped Paid Employment

Claudia  I stopped paid employment because you can hardly satisfy a Nigerian employer if you're not suffering on the job. Most organisations here have toxic work culture. People carry their seniority mentality from secondary school into the workplace. I used to overwork (that's literally how we work here). Do all that and more.  While working for Nigerian firms, I thought hardwork was good work till I started working with a Ghanaian firm where you get upto 2weeks to deliver one article yet they pay on time. I shock! A Nigerian company will expect you to deliver 5 to 10 contents (articles) in a week.  How?....& for what? Worst still, if you have a terrible superior your work may never pass. It's more like a "dog eat dog" situation where correction is not done with "your growth" in mind. You'll be feeling drained and looking overused and abused all the time. That's why their HR be like "can you work under pressure?" As if it's a g

When Your Spouse Turns into Your Flatmate: What Next?

  Marriage is often romanticized as a lifelong journey of love, connection, and shared dreams. However, as time goes on, couples might find themselves grappling with an unexpected shift in their relationship dynamics. It's the point where familiarity turns into monotony, intimacy morphs into mere coexistence, and the question arises: at what point does your spouse become your flatmate? This crucial juncture, if left unaddressed, can become a dangerous pitfall for the relationship. Let me share some takes on the signs that signal this transition and insights into how couples can rekindle their connection before it's too late. Personally, once I lose connection it’s as if I am mentally done but is there a way to make adjustments and realign? Of course. Though it is often said that the cordiality of a relationship is usually held down by one person but we all know it takes two to make it work. Where one or both parties are not willing, the union cannot stand. A situation where one

Navigating the Ups and Downs of Life

  Life, with all its twists and turns, often feels like a rollercoaster ride. Just when we think we have it all figured out, it throws us a curveball or takes us on an unexpected loop.  From thrilling highs to challenging lows, navigating life's ups and downs is a journey filled with valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. Whether it's a sudden job loss, a health scare, or a broken relationship, curveballs can leave us feeling confused and uncertain about the future.  However, it is during these moments of adversity that we might discover our inner strength and resilience. Instead of resisting change, embracing the curveballs allows us to adapt and evolve. It teaches us to let go of control and embrace the uncertainty of life. While it may be uncomfortable at first, facing challenges head-on ultimately leads to personal growth and self-discovery. Just as life has its curveballs, it also has its floating times—those
