The Relationship between Marriage and Respect

Hey guys , my friend sent this to me and though I find it really hilarious, it's completely ridiculous. read up and share your thoughts in the comment section, I would like to know what you think.

      "Today at school,I went to get my monthly clearance form from the headmaster, it happened that I entered with three other fellow corps members.
The headmaster unfortunately has just one form left and asked someone go make photocopies. One was with a child
The other has a ring( wedding ring or engagement ring,I didn't bother looking)
The last, quite chubby and bigger than me in looks
I was busy with my phone,my head down when I heard ' ocha go and make photocopies.
I turned with that look like ' Are you talking to me, me?
They chorused  yes,you
I asked why, like why should I be the one to go make photocopies for you guys.
Unbelievably they said' I buro nwunye oga(you ain't married or with a child)
I shook!😳
I was like wow!
They chorused yes now ,no evidence, no ring no baby, so please go make photocopies
I opened my mouth,words couldn't flow.
Okay let me give you a picture of me today: I am slim like skinny so obviously I ain't married. I am on low cut with golden tinted hair, so obviously this wan can't be married, I am not robust or flash my ring around,so obviously I ain't married, I wore a fitted gown with my flat tummy😏 ( don't let the devil use you and comman say issalie) so obviously I can't be married.
I looked at them.
I asked them how old do you think I am( they chorused 24!
I laughed
Me that is aging and time is going for me, me that is almost 30!
I can't believe this!
I am traumatized!
When did we get here!
When did we start measuring respect with marriage inclined!
Don't ask me what happened next.
Because,I stupidly gat up and went to make photocopies for nwunye ogas."

I know we tend to respect married people a lot especially women but should there be a limit ? If there is, where should the line be drawn ?

加油！！

                                            加油- pronounced as "Jia you " a Chinese word which translates as "add oil " but literally means "more grease (to your elbow) " , is a word used to give encouragement to people dealing with challenges.       Living in a world where no one really cares about how much effort you put to achieve success but are only concerned with whether or not you were able to be successful, self encouragement is inevitable. When you are the only one that sees that light at the end of the tunnel, though  it seems you aren't even sure if the light is still there because everyday brings new frustrations, heart aches and stress but you are the only one who can really believe in you especially when no one does. You are your only fan.      Some people on the other hand are lucky enough to be surrounded by those who tru...

The Real Position of Women

                   The Real Position of Women Often times, this has been a regular debate amongst people. Where should a woman be placed in the society. Some people say she should be below the man since he is her superior and of course the "weaker vessel ". This idea is particular to the "old schools " as the case may be, those that are traditional in thinking.  Others think women should be placed on the same level with the man, hence the feminist movement. They think women should enjoy the same privileges as men do so there should not be any discrimination on the grounds of sex. This idea is particular to people who claim to be " modern ", they believe time changes everything and it's best if we change with time. Come to think of it. The world has been in a state of unrest because women do not really understand where they are placed, but to me, I think a woman is as flexible as anything flexible. She is places herself anywhere ...

Our Naija Brothers in "The Abroad "

A Naija brother in "the abroad" would walk up to me say he doesn't like dating Nigerian girls. In my mind, I would be like "errmm, sorry I'm not Portuguese, Russian or even Chinese 🙄" ,  he would go on to say "I don't know why I just like you, in fact you are the first Nigerian girl I've asked out since I left naija " . You won't believe the number of guys that have said this to me. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a problem with being a Nigerian girl outside Nigeria. Is there something in the air which we unconsciously take in that probably changes us that Nigerian guys living outside Nigeria don't inhale? Abi is it just because of  "green card" ? I honestly don't know why our men would come to the conclusion that Nigerian  women are totally unworthy of their love when they are not longer in their home country. The only reason they might want to even talk to you won't be far from eating Nigerian food,...
