I have since received messages from some men who say they were among those who dissed me in the said post (I honestly don't remember) who have suddenly found their loved ones in the situation I was speaking out against.

If I let such incidents upset me, I would be permanently upset – because of the frequency of their occurrences. Not a month goes by, without someone sliding Nicodemously (is that even a real word?) into my inbox to recant their anti-feminism-fuelled-by-ignorance stance. Three things that amuse me, though:

1. The conviction with which emergency feminists in waiting, speak nonsense … and the speed with which their fellow cowards swallow garbage.

How many times have you read or heard someone say, “All these feminists are going through worse in their own homes”? Loads of times? Me, too. I asked one of them, “How many feminists who speak against these things you like, do you know personally? How many of us have you visited at home? How many us have you even seen physically?” None.

Shock horror! A lady even said that a male told someone not to listen to her, because he knew she was married to a bad man who beats her every night. When the person eventually activated their brain and asked her, it turned out that a) the guy didn't even know her, and b) she is definitely not married to a bad man.

2. People's unwillingness to ask questions

Nigeria is full of it; individuals whose brains are for decoration. People don't question stuff, till they've been battered, bruised and their remains, burned. “Why?” and “How?” are words to which the average Nigerian is grossly allergic. The more unreasonable and silly something is, the greater the chance that a Nigerian will swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Add a religious twist and you have them for life. “My pastor said that women should not wear trousers.” “My daddy GO said that gaaaaaaad gonna send every female lawyer to hell, because they argue too much and they don't cook.” “My church mummy said that I should not talk to anyone who is a feminist.” “My fellowship leader received a revelation that any woman who wants to eat gizzard or head of fowl, is unsubmissive, flies at night, and married to three men in the marine kingdom.” Yeye dey smell.

3. The effrontery, sha

So, unless you've been under a rock and have never heard of Germany, you know that the Nigerian President and his First Lady (although he did kinda maybe promise that there would be no office) appear to have been playing out a really twisted script, in the past week.

Some of those who supported the throwing out of the Gender Equality Bill (claiming that it will turn all Nigerian women into witches and lesbians) have suddenly let their inner feminist out of the closet, on social media. Even the self-confessed misogynistic woman-beaters, rape-enablers, irresponsible fathers, STI-depositories and community penises, who can only orgasm when they blunder from the Facebook profile of one feminist to another, are claiming to defend the rights of women. When they are the same “ten and ten pence” as the unteachable one that we dragged out of the Stone Age, to rule us. O ma se oooo.
