Forum / Politics / BETWEEN IGBO, YORUBA AND OTHER NIGERIAN WOMEN - Long Text (No summary) |
on: 8-04-2011 10:44 PM
| Dear Pals, if you can patiently read through, kindly show or make a comment if u want. It's a news culled another Newsmedia a friend forwarded to me from US.
BETWEEN IGBO, YORUBA AND THE NIGERIAN WOMEN Font size: THEWILL.07/04/2011 22:37:00 FORMER MINISTER OF FINANCE AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND CURRENTLY MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE WORLD BANK, DR (MRS) NGOZI OKONJO-IWEALA.
I do not mean any offence to Nigerian women by asking the question that I am about to ask or by making the assertions that I am about to make in this note. However this is an important question that I have not been able to answer myself for a number of years even though I have tried my best to do so. And the question is as follows. What precisely is it about Igbo women that have made them excel in public office, business, politics, the arts, the sciences, religion, leadership and social activism in just the last 12 years when compared to their counterparts from other parts of our country? There are, of course, some equally notable and brilliant non-Igbo women in our country as well who are doing, and have done, a great job in both our private and public sectors and who have also done great things in their local communities and in our nation. However when I ponder on this issue and I consider the names that are on my list of distinguished Nigerian women that have been outstanding in their various fields of endeavour over the last few years, the overwhelming majority of them are Igbos. A few names will serve as an illustration of what I am trying to say and let me assure you that I have had the distinct honour and privilege of either knowing most of them quite well or working closely with at least a few, so I am speaking from an informed position.
They are all well-educated, forceful, strong-willed, focused, creative, disciplined, passionate and decisive characters who are almost ''German-like'' in their work ethics and in their pursuit of excellence and perfection. They really don't take any prisoners when it comes to their work or calling and they all do their jobs, or whatever it is that they are doing, with an almost ''messianic'' zeal. I am talking about people like Ngozie Okonjo-Iweala (the former Minister of Finance and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria who is now the Managing Director of the World Bank), Obi Ezekwezile (the former Minister of Solid Minerals and former Minister of Education of Nigeria who is now the National Vice Charman of the World Bank), Dora Akinluyi (the former Director- General of NAFDAC and the former Minister of Information for Nigeria), Ndidi Okereke-Onyiuke (the former Director- General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the person that was credited with building it up literally from scratch), Roz Ben-Okagbue (a leading pro-democracy activist in Nigeria and one of the conveners and leaders of the Save Nigeria Group), Violet Yough (a successful, wealthy and well-respected industrialist and business woman of many years standing), Stella Chinyelu Okoli (the Chief Executive and founder of Emzor Pharmaceutical, the most successful and largest indigenous pharmaceutical company in Nigeria), Irene Iroche (the Chief Executive of Finbank), the late Genevieve Onyuike (one of the most versatile and brilliant lawyers in Nigeria and the former President of the Oxford and Cambridge Club of Nigeria), Joy Ogwu (the former Minister of Foreign Affairs for Nigeria and presently the Nigerian Ambassador to the United Nations), Evelyn Oputu (the Chief Executive Officer of the Industrial Bank), Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie (a well respected and notable writer of international standing and repute and the author of the international best-seller titled ''Half A Yellow Sun''), the late Flora Nwapa (the poet, writer and essayist who was the author of the Nigerian bestseller titled ''Efuru''), Akachi Ezeigbo (a highly respected Professor of African Literature of international standing and repute) , Stella Oduah Ogiemwonyi (the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sea Petroleum and Gas Group of Companies and who is one of the biggest players in the Nigerian oil and gas industry), Genevieve Nnaji (a leading Nigerian actress), Amaka Igwe (the respected film producer and director and a key figure in the Nigerian movie industry which is known as ''Nollywood'), Bishop Peace Okonkwo (the wife of Bishop Mike Okonkwo and the co-founder of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission TREM, one of the largest and most respected Pentecostal Churches in Nigeria) and so many others.
If you care to do the necessary research and see what they have achieved in their various fields you will be very impressed with each and every one of them. Of course we yorubas of the west have our very own female legends, bright shining stars and great innovators too (as does every other part of Nigeria) and we have had them for the last eighty years when none in Africa could come anywhere near Yoruba women in terms of leadership, class, style and innovation. A few names that come to mind are Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (who was the most formidable female leader and the greatest activist that we have ever had in Nigerian modern history), Kudirat Abiola (the second wife of Chief MKO Abiola, a formidable and utterly fearless pro-democracy fighter and the first woman to be martyred in the fight for democracy in Nigeria), Funmi Goka (who is both the first female and the first Nigerian Deputy Managing Director of Agip Petroleum), Folake Solanke (who is the first woman to ever be appointed as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria), Lola Shoneyin (who is one of the most forceful and insightful writers of her generation), Bola Kuforiji-Olubi (the first female Chairman and chief executive of a Nigerian bank), Eniola Fadayomi (a leading and notable banker in the early '90's), Aurora Kayode(the matriach and doyen of Lagos high society in the '30's and '40's), Bolanle Awe (a revered and highly respected professor of philosophy and the leader in her field), Ebun Oyagbola (the first woman to ever be appointed as a Federal Minister in the history of Nigeria), Nike Akande (the first woman to ever be appointed as a Federal Minister for Industries in Nigeria), Joke Silva (probably the greatest and certainly one of the most versatile and respected actresses in the Nigerian film industry), Biola Alabi (the executive director of MNET Africa), Olufunmilayo Falusi Olopade (who has contributed enormously to Bosom cancer research globally and especially amongst African and African-American women) and so many others.
However in the last 12 years the Igbos seem to have taken over in this respect and are now well-ahead of the rest of Nigeria. Just a few years and look at what they have achieved. It really is quite remarkable. Can anyone tell me their secret or why this is so? What could be responsible for their doggedness, their natural drive, their tremendous energy and their great strength of character? What is it about these strong-willed eastern women of Bantu and Igbo extraction that now and all of a sudden sets them so far apart?
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode was the spokesperson to President Olusegun Obasanjo; he subsequently became Minister of Tourism & Culture & later served as Aviation Minister for Federal Republic of Nigeria. | | |

| It only an accusation... there's no evidence and facts that he committed the offence yet...
cross-examinations will determine the facts and evidences. No one knows the extend the Police officer had gone to interview the wife that had extracted important information which may incriminate the Priest. My dear Sister, leave most of these so-called men of God and Priests! It's sometimes beyond comprehension. | | |

| From observations and concrete evidences, I hereby advise all men who cares to listen here to AVOID most of the so-called Priests, Pastors and the self-acclaimed men of God to KEEP DISTANCE from your domains.
Never befriend them to bring them into your private life or they can screw your gf, your Daughters and their Mama.
I believe this story, kpomkpem! 77 calls and 48 messages??. He delivers his own confession through telephone to this woman and other women in town? I know some of them here and there.
BUT WE STILL DID NOT KNOW THE CONTENT OF THOSE CALLS AND TXT MSGS AS THE HUSBAND COULD NOT PROOF THE CONTENT OF THOSE TXT AND CALLS, SO HOW COME YOU CONCLUDE THAT THEY ARE AMOROUS?. CALLS COULD BE FOR COUNSELLING AND PRAYERS .HE IS A PRIEST WHO ATTENDS TO PEOPLE S DIFFERENT KINDS OF CONFESSIONS AND EVEN SPIRITUAL NEEDS DAY IN AND DAY OUT. I AM NOT TRYING TO CONDONE EVIL BUT NOT UNTIL HE IS PROVEN GUILTY.I AM NOT EVEN A CATHOLIC IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT LETS BE MORE HUMANS TOWARDS OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS WEATHER PRIEST,PASTOR OR ORDINARY PERSON. No matter whatever content of the calls and text messages, man, this is not a free woman, but somebody's wife. No smoke without fire! Spiritual needs my foot! Gone, Gone and GONE are the days ANYONE should brandish the bible or word of God as a shield. Guys, please wake up! | | |

| THAT WAS ONLY AN ALLEGATIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SUBSTANTIATED WITH ANY TANGIBLE EVIDENCE. PEOPLE SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE WAY THEY ACCUSE PEOPLE MORE ESPECIALLY MEN OF GOD SO AS NOT TO ATTRACT GOD S ANGER ON THEMSELVES AND THEIR ENTIRE HOUSE HOLD. ALLEGATION AGAINST EVEN ANYBODY WITHOUT EVIDENCE IS VERY BAD IF YOU HAVE BEEN WRONGFULLY ACCUSED OF AN OFFENCE YOU DID NOT COMMIT. IF U HAVE HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE BEFORE THEN PUT YOUR SELF IN THOSE PEOPLE S SHOE WHO WERE BEING ACCUSED OF ONE CRIME OR THE THE OTHER THAT THEY DID NOT COMMIT. SOME OF YOU IN THIS FORUM ARE VERY FAST TO COME INTO CONCLUSIONS THAT EVERY ACCUSED IS GUILTY WITHOUT ANY PROOF OR EVIDENCE .LETS BE CAREFUL WITH THE WAY WE JUDGE AND CONDEMN OTHERS BECAUSE ONE DAY YOU MIGHTY FIND YOUR SELF AT THE MERCY OF OTHER TO EITHER CONDEMN OR EXORNORATE AND ACQUIT YOU. WHAT U DO TO OTHERS MIGHTY JUST BE AROUND THE CORNER WAITING FOR YOU.
Men of God and attract anger my foot. Only knowledge can make a man unfit to be a slave! ....... said Frederick DouglasWake up men! | | |

Milk is ok in the night, but not too much. | | |

| This food here is rubbish and unhealthy. They are not worthy as praise them, rather they fat bombers. Most of them are genetically manipulated food. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AFRICAN FOOD RECIPE IS FAR BETTER THAN THESE THINGS YOU SHOW US HERE. I am not only tired of seeing these food, I am more than tired of eating them.
Most of these chickens are broiled in 7 days or less, the redkohl is mixed with industrial sugar, the milk is not fresh or natural milk, the cherries are other fruits are genetically manipulated produced food, hence they are unhealthy to be eaten, etc.
May be u are praising the decoration, but the taste can often times be horrible.
My dear African ladies, think of how u serve our food to look not only presentable but appetizing in a very 'clean environment'. OMG, Delicious! Forget these food presented, unless you want to be obese. | | | |
