HOW THEY TREAT US

-

An Indian girl that got admitted here in Nigeria, in A.B..U Zaria seems to be everyone’s friend (she is not the only foreigner though but my eyes caught her). she stays in Amina Hostel; the hostel I stay. Almost every girl in the hostel wants to be her friend.  I wonder why? Is it because she is fair? She has a long hair? Her accent is none like ours?
I am not trying to be a race talker here but I wonder if they appreciate our kinds the way we appreciate them when we travel to their places. I wonder if they call us blacks who are not humans. It is not as if I don’t like this Indian girl. I do but do they treat us as specially as we treat them?
It appears that racism has taken in the sacred water of immortality because in this present day stories are still be told, fictions are given the atom of non-fiction. The 2018 movie THE HATE YOU GIVE  gives the impression that no matter what we do, what we say or how great we are , they won’t listen, they won’t see us as same as them.
How they treat us makes us slaves to us.

IS IT THAT EASY? IS IT GENDER?

What! I am not trying to be judgemental here but, what! Not a thing I have against men, not a feminist I am, I am a womanist , I am just a bossom friend to humanity. So your wife is still in the den of kidnappers and your baby of not more than two weeks old was murdered for not more than two weeks now and the next thing we hear is that you are getting married in few days time! This man must be out of his  mind. That is what I see. Sometimes I don't blame feminists for actually being feminists because the same set of people repeat similar actions over and over  again, men. Trust me, you seldom find any woman having a thought of what this man is about to do? Sometimes I wonder if some men actually have conscious. I actually felt pity for the man this past few days not knowing that he had the intention to kill the already fading hostage of a wife emotionally. I wonder, "Is it that he has given up on his wife." "Oh it could be lust." I know, maybe it would be...

I AM NOT NIGERIAN

You packed your stuffs from the hostel one evening at the end of the session but you are not packed  yourself. You didn't have transport fare so you had to carry your bed, your small drum and your stove in your hands and you were trekking off campus with all difficulty. You stopped so many times because the stuffs were heavy. You weren't really expecting help from anybody. Not because you have passed different bunches of guys who didn't offer to help but because help will only come when they are Nigerians. You stopped again when you got halfway to your destination and you were stretching you hands when you heard a male voice say "Let me help with the heavy one." But you hesitated even when you knew you needed help, "Umm, no thanks. I will manage." And he insisted, "Don't worry I am not Nigerian." And he helped. Yes! He is a Nigerian. He is not Nigerian means 'He just wants to help. No strings attached. No number collecting.  He is ...

GIVE THE RESPECT TO A DOG INSTEAD

Men can practically ask you to lick their dirty legs that have had a dance in mud of doom if you give them the chance. My roommate was giving me a gist of how a guy has been all over her , so she had no choice but to give him a chance to take her out on a date . After the date , the guy talks to her any whichway but trust some ladies now,  they take no shit.  She invited him to a restaurant after a week of taking her out.  She bought him the same food he bought for her,  he stupidly ate it like a hungry begger and she said afterwards,  "now I have paid you what you think I owe you.  So you have no right to talk to me the way you want anymore" Boom! The thing shock the guy o. Dear guys, even if you buy the whole world for a lady she still deserves respect. We are Queens that are to be treated well. Beware! Or the dogs will get our respects instead
