Women
have to stop these habits while commuting on the Lagos road. The habits are
well known tby men, and they often make them a centre of discussion at their
meetings.
What
are these disgusting habits?
Excessive
Makeup
I’ve
widened my eyes, grunted, growled and, scowled whenever I set eyes on a woman
with an excessive makeup.
*rolls eyes*
I
do not get it…you think you look good with the over-do of makeup? Makeup is
nice and it makes a woman more beautiful and elegant…but what happens when it
is excessive? The woman looks like an over-baked clay or a rainbow in the sky.
You
don’t get shy? Do you not see the awkward stares? Men appreciate you for the
over-do? Blink into reality babes. Men love makeup, but not an over-do. (My perspective though…*shrugs*).

Indecent
Dressing
I
was on my way to work this week and my sister hastily pointed at a lady, before
the Marwa drove past. She was putting
on a ‘tight’ and her ‘backside’ was apparently naked…did I say naked? Oh yes,
naked.
*facepalms*
“Is
she going to jog?” My sister asked.
Joggu ke? The indecent dressing
should top the list…why did I make it no. 2?
It
is really bizarre, seeing ladies with no iota of shame. When I see some ladies
dress like they’re in their room, I feel ashamed of being a woman.
Insults
Have
you entered a public bus and witness a woman insulting a man? It is always a
lovely sight to watch and listen to. You’ll listen and wonder how a woman can
bring forth such weight of words from her mouth. Funny part? The woman always wins.
I
think this stems down to the fact that women feel they’re being cheated, and
women are sometimes being cheated. How do they fight back? With words!
I
seriously do not buy the idea of insulting and cursing just to prove a point.
You do not have to turn into a thug because you live in Lagos. Lagos isn’t that
bad, or is it???
Aye!
Aye! As a woman, you believe that things should always go your way and that all
men should respect the fact that you’re a woman. Babes, e no dey dat way all the time oo. There are some men that do not
give a damn. This is the 21st century and 2018 for dat mata. You shouldn’t expect the men
to honour you like the way the way it used to be in those days. The rave of
feminism has heightened the matter. Men now have the notion that they are
somewhat of equal gender with the women.
A
few months back, I entered a BRT and a lady (who was standing) started to
complain about the nonchalant attitudes of men.
‘Men are not performing their duty
again. Before now, a man would stand for a woman or an elderly person. Now,
you’ll see a man struggling with a woman’. The woman
grumbled.
The
men on the bus laughed mockingly and the rest of the women joined in the
laughter. Things have indeed transformed…more with Chimamanda’s disapproval of
chivalry.
Women
expect so much from the opposite gender and this is wrong. They have their
lives to live, and so do we.
