"Is it Peg they're calling Ambush?" - Nigerians react as fashion store displays clip earring for N170,000

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 09:00 AM PDT

Nigerians are currently trolling an online fashion store which displayed some earrings set at a whooping price of $440 (170,000 naira).

The Nobo clip earring which obviously looks like a peg used in pinning clothes after hanging them on a rope was placed at a shocking sum of $440.

Reacting to this, Nigerians dragged the fashion store for selling 'clothes peg' for N170,000 and not a lesser price.

Some Nigerians, reacting to the same photo, noted that they already have so many pegs at home and they will likely bring them out and wear them on their ears instead of purchasing an earring for such amount.

Blogger calls out Bobrisky as he claims he’s pregnant and shows fake bump

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 08:00 AM PDT

A Nigerian blogger identified as Mavis Ishanqueen  is of the opinion that Bobrisky is making mockery of women and their struggles for respect within the society.

The blogger called out Bobrisky for presenting himself as a woman to enjoy the benefits of being a woman while still also relying on "his male privilege to get away with so many things that a woman wouldn't."

Marvis accused Bobrisky of slut-shaming women, adding that he talks about suffering menstrual pain and experiencing pregnancy thereby making a mockery of the women/girls who actually go through that and miss "7 days of school every month."


She wrote:

"Bobrisky is starting to cross the line with his antics. He's starting to make a mockery of women and their struggles for respect within the society.

"For the majority of Nigerians, Bob is nothing but a man who likes playing dress up. They do not take him seriously. Bob says that she's a woman and wants to be addressed as a "she". However Bob does not respect women. Bob himself constantly relies on his male privilege to get away with so many things that a woman wouldn't.

"Bob slutshames women. After Bob has published his latest video about doing runs, hooking up with married men and having sex in god knows where, he'll still come online and call a woman ashewo and olosho.

"A woman would know better than to publish a video with such content online. But Bob is a man. Men are not called ashewos. Only women are.
 
"Bob jokes about having periods, but Bob has never had a period in his life. He doesn't know that for millions of women, their period is a time of the month they anticipate with horror. Tossing in bed, rolling on the floor, stooling and vomiting. Millions of girls around the world skip 7 days of school every month because they cannot afford sanitary pads. Thousands of women have opted for a hysterectomy to free themselves of horrible period cramps. Women ingest a huge amount of hormones every year to either regulate, suspend or ease their periods. But Bob doesn't know and doesn't care.

"Now Bob is claiming that he's pregnant. And nobody is cursing him. Nobody is asking him why he would get pregnant out of wedlock. Where the father is. And if he knows who the father is. Could a woman get away with such?

"What about the women who are desperately trying to have babies and can't. Now they come online and see this clown with a fake baby bump, making fun of an experience that nobody expects him to have. Nobody will ever insult Bobrisky by calling him barren or a man. Bob is a man!

"Bob is insulting the collective intelligence of women who have to fight every single day for our right to be. I wish he'd borrow some sense, and understand that being pregnant as a single woman who proudly does runs and fucks married men is a privilege that women do not enjoy.

"Anytime a person Insults Bob, it is never to shame him for being a woman. Instead it is to shame him for choosing to be a woman. Why would he? Why would he throw away his masculinity to embrace the one gender that the society likes to hate for no reason at all?
 
"Well Bob knows why. As a man who dresses up as a woman, he gets to have the best of both worlds. The attention of men who are attracted to trans women without the misogyny that comes with being a woman.

"Trans women want to be included in the feminist discourse, but trans women are also oblivious of what it's like to be born as a woman and the experience of womanhood from the very first day they are born on this Earth. Nobody hates transwomen for being women. People hate them for giving up their masculinity. It's a different type of hate and it's not misogyny.

"Bob can change back into his male clothings and go back to being a man any day he wishes, and the hate will stop. Women cannot do the same. A woman who wants to stop experiencing the hate that comes with being a woman has to take tons of hormones, change her appearance through surgery and do away with her breasts. And perhaps grow a penis. That's the only way you can escape misogyny. By changing everything about your outward appearance.

"This generation of men who like dressing up as women and reinforcing negative stereotypes – especially those IG comedians, need to be lectured on what it's truly like to be a woman. It's not just wigs, make up and clothes. It's also pain, suffering, humiliation and fear.

"Those are the true reality of being a woman. Everything else is sugarcoating."

BBNaija's Venita speaks on divorcing her husband after having two children for him

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 06:00 AM PDT

BBNaija reality star, Venita Akpofure has opened up on her failed marriage and divorce. The reality star stated that she divorced her husband because their marriage was no longer healthy for her.

Speaking during an episode of the BBNaija Reunion show, Venita Akpofure said that she did not regret her decision. According to her, she had to leave to go discover herself after working as a housewife for years.

In her own words,

"When you become a new mum, it is very easy to lose your identity in the name of trying to build her home and keep it together. I really did a full 360, I wasn't working in front of the lens. I was really domesticated. The switch was quite extreme and I was in that space for a long time between 5 to 7 years or so. It wasn't making me happy. it wasn't fulfilling for me it wasn't healthy for me.


"It got to a point where my kids were going to the toilet on their own and I'm like, I need to find something to do. What happened to me? I needed to find myself apart from all other bunch of things that might make you want to file for divorce. It's not an easy decision to make to decide that this is not good for you but it takes a very strong mind to do that so I was very determined and I don't regret it at all."

Tacha praises Venita for divorcing her husband

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 05:30 AM PDT

BBNaija reality star, Tacha has commended her colleague, Venita Akpofure after the latter revealed that she divorced her husband because their marriage was no longer healthy.

Tacha said that Venita decision to divorce her husband served as an example to other women who are seeking to leave their marriage.


Tacha said;

"I really think Venita you're setting an example out there because there are lots of women in marriages that they really want to leave for different reasons but I would want to hit on domestic violence and they are like 'oh what would people say, what would society say, what would my family say' but then you see someone like her that is a public figure and then she owns it, I think it gives some people strength, it gives a lot of women strength. So she is setting the pace."
