@weirdlatelee @ThabisoGoba2 Say it bit slower, now listen to yourself. How do you sound?
English
@ThabisoGoba2 But you can, not all the time, but you can. People have distinguishing features across the different regions, with some outliers of course.
English
It’s absolutely amazing observing South Africans trying to explain to western journalists how they can differentiate between an African immigrant and a local; just by simply looking at them.

Through the books we have read and discussed at #UmuofiaArtsAndBooksFestival, we have lived a thousand lives and felt emotions we do not have names for.
In this series, we'll be sharing reviews from all of the books we've discussed at every edition of the festival.

No, you don't dash your daughter properties as though you are doing her a favour. The day your birth a girl child is the day she has as much right as any male child to all your properties.
Yeah!@Bladgara
@harachi_chi This is why a lot of you score zero in your knowledge about tradition, the only person you can ask about anything land in your father’s place is your father, if he dashes you fine and good but if not, you go to yur husband’s place simple. And it happens in all cultures
English
Men and Women alike want to have long term partners but when it is treated as a form of erasure for one party. The pushbacks will be inevitable and I know you understand why!
Like I told my Kinsmen and Umuada last month "Culture do not make us, we make culture to serve us"
English
What marriage represents for our people is as important as the people whom this culture of marriage serves. Marriage will hold its ground if it is not built on the rock of patriarchy.
Michael Chièdoziém Chúkwúderà@ChukwuderaEdozi
@harachi_chi Yes. Two things can be true at the same time. There seems to be an attempt to water down what marriage represents for our people. We can advocate for our identity without trying to water down marriage. Extended family itself is only made possible by marriage.
English
Right! She is married and by extension a relationship has been established between the woman and her husband's family. The conversation is mostly about Identity, we do want marriage to override the sense of being for a person. Where is she from, what blood runs in her veins?
Michael Chièdoziém Chúkwúderà@ChukwuderaEdozi
I disagree with this my sister. A woman is married to her husband and his people. Whether the relationship blossoms or not is another thing entirely. I met a woman in my village last night, and she told me she’s my wife b/c she’s married to a man from my clan.
English
Yes, a woman will never be a member of her husband's extended family.
She creates a new family with her husband which is their primary family. The extended families from both sides remain extensions of themselves and people they can always share their lives with.
Mr. Steve@StevDozie
@rosemaryegbo Osim, white women 😅 Now let's bring it home, if you are married to a man to a man from Nnobi, are you not automatically Nwanyi Nnobi by Marriage? Does your position support the saying that a woman is never a member of the husband's family cos they're not related by blood?
English
My grandmother fought for the land which my family property lies on today, she is more feminist than I am. Now, I understand if no woman from your lineage has done anything worthy of note but yet its not reason enough to claim a white woman from New Zealand is more Igbo than ...
Eziokwu bụ Ndụ@Onye_Game
FYI, The greatest Igbo female historian is a New Zealander married to an Asaba Man. To Igbo feminists & Kekere ke Emes, she is a white woman. But to us, real Igbo people, she is Igbo. These foreign wives have offered more value to Igboland than Igbo feminists & kekere ke emes
English
Does it even change the identity of the woman, it just confuses the woman. She belongs almost nowhere.
Shortly after my Dad's funeral, we get into talks about a family land to be sold and my aunt goes "you know we cant partake in it cos we are women and our share is at our....
Chisom Ogamba@CP_Ogamba
Igbo men that view every single thing through a gendered lens. Why won’t they hate, this is why I’m against that bearing your husband’s surname thing because what do you mean your relationship with a man can change your entire identity & ethnicity? What rubbish!
English
Of cos, Men and women are not equals. Women create Men!
Wave@Wave5258
@sugabelly @CP_Ogamba There is equity and there is equality , Men and women were not created equal , we are not equals , we have different roles to play in life, there is nothing like Equal rights, we have different claims to different roles and things .you simply picked the wrong things to fight for
English
Igbo culture is misogynistic in a way that digital activism doesn't cut the level of work that needs to be done in our heads before making headway.
If to address this is why Igbo men will hate on us then it works, cos, it only demands we reciprocate with same level of hate.
Nze@nzemmili
Anyway, na some of you Igbo women de cause all these rubbish. You spend your time denigrating Igbo culture in the name of feminism, then you wonder why some Igbo men are hating on you here daily. Na some of you branded Igbo men the face of misogyny in Nigeria to win arguments!
