With the release of Sheryl Sandberg;s book Lean in, on women in leadership(government and private sectors). There have been a lot of articles either supporting or strongly disagreeing with her. And this question about women having it all has come up time and time again. i will be recommending 3 articles.



Sandberg left single mothers behind - Susan Faludi

Men Don't Have It All either - LZ Granderson

Why we celebrate women's day - Melinda Gates











This article on corruption and the mindset of the average Nigerian, is a must read. Our collective mindset as a nation and a society must change if we are to move forward. This doesn't mean that people shouldn't be rewarded but within reason. We need to rebuild that sense of national pride again.

 Found this interesting article on CNN, about the growing trend of educated African women, that are unmarried or more precisely taking  longer to get married. 



African moms: Be patient with your unmarried daughters

By China Okasi, Special to CNN
 Agreed with some of her points. Don't think its LOVE at the heart of the matter. Think its increasing expectations in men beyond going to work and bringing in money. But please read the article and feel free to comment below. Thank You!

Valentine.......... Arrggghhh (pulling hair out)

Here We Go Again... Arggghhhh! I remember my last valentine’s day. It was spent eating a bag of M&Ms and feeling sorry for myself. This year, I promised to have no expectations, same as last year. Lol So, are you single and wondering what to do this Valentine’s Day..... Options include; 1.        Refusing to leave the house all day( I am partial to this one) 2.        Sending yourself a Val’s gift in the office( obviously signed from an admirer)- desperate, I know 3.        Sending a valentine gift to an ex and hoping he or she will reciprocate( please note, this never worked for anyone I know) 4.        And my personal favourite, behaving like u got something so major but you are refusing to share the gist.( this actually works).

Oga At The Top....... Some Perspective

I am sure we have all seen the short clip of the Lagos State  Commandant of Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC) on Channels TV. So, I won't bug you with that. What I think would be beneficial if you can spare about 20 minutes to watch the full interview.  Part 1       Part 2 The first issue is the claim that channels TV presenters were not fair to the guy. hmmmmmmm.How do I start? Watching the whole interview, gives better perspective . Truth is, the presenters were fed up.The man through out the interview didn't answer 1 question directly.

But as seasoned professionals, they should have tri

Initial claims of mistaken identity were heard in the media. The police have since debunked the rumors. Reporting that the couple had a rocky relationship. With earlier reports of domestic violence. Mr Pistorius has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend. Following this, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode decided to share his opinion on Facebook.Mr Femi Fani-Kayode , former minister of aviation , claims that obviously Oskar Pistorius was provoked. That the girlfriend - Reeva Steenkamp was 'obviously' a Jezebel and a Delilah, whatever that means.  This follows the trend of  my earlier article why aren't you vexed .Men supposedly not having any self control. Even though Mr Fani-kayode has since removed the post from his Facebook page, it would do him well to remember that nothing is ever really deleted. Please read below- A Va
