kingsley.uche.374: Please, can women stop deceiving themselves, and start following God standard law, if I may asked, feminism, is it difference from each other? I wish all women should know that, those who institutionalized or established feminism is those women who FAILED in their marriages!"

Meanwhile, Vashti Offo recently gave Nigerians something to talk about after she took to the platform to address Nigerian men who try to engage her concerning gender inequality issues.
According to the UK-based feminist, if a Nigerian man doesn't earn up to N500k monthly then they're not qualified to engage her on issues bothering on feminism.
Also, Nigerian pastor, Kingsley Okonkwo, has joined the feminism movement conversation and from the look of it, he is clearly not in support of gender equality.
Starting off the conversation by saying the way boys are raised is very different from girls as the boys need more direction, he went on to say male and female are not the same, claiming this is backed by scripture, science and statistics.
