The biggest achievement for the African is to be married.

If you disagree, go and argue with your mirror.

See evidence in your churches. When they are done trying to steal all the money you have, they are preaching to you on how to be a virtuous woman, which comprises - cooking, cleaning, loving with big patience and big heart, opening your legs anytime it is requested that your legs be open... and all the other virtuous marital stuff that keep you without inquisition or spark.

Young people talk extensively about sex and marriage. Serious conversations on how to end up as a wife to one man. Average nuclear existence; spoken with all the saliva in their mouths, you'd think they are about to find a means to produce oxygen in Pluto.

The hours we expend just to groom a home - dissecting what a spouse should eat at night and if your child should wear the Adidas sneakers to Bebe's birthday party.

The hours!!!

Wasted hours of living average. As average as a rat that lives in the crannies of a house.

The same hours people in other climes use to build sophisticated highways through skyscrapers with distortion to noise and easy means to beat traffic.

See what men and WOMEN are doing in places like Japan.

Open your mind.

Or at least, just be quiet about this "virtuous woman" crap.

At the end of it all, we don't care if the women/woman (if any) on the team who created this expressway is cooking for her husband or washing his clothes...

We don't care if she is married or unmarried, or has a child or siamese twins...

We don't care.

All we know and care about is: she has added value to the world. She is part of a team that will make life easier for people in Japan.

In Nigeria, let a woman head the construction of a bridge that will run from Ketu to Ajah, to ease hours of traffic...

And you will come on this god-forsaken Social Media Nigeria to read comments thus:

"Good work. But is she married though?"
