Ladies Room. Women as their own greatest enemies...

Wednesday is here already. Dear blog reader Arinze, thanks for working hard on the blog. I really appreciate. Thank you so much. Good morning beautiful people, how are you all doing? Shay, you like the new face of our blog? It's so beautiful. Success in your exams today dear blog reader Helen.

It seems the ladies room segment now gets the highest views. What's happening to our Fashionable Sunday segment? Una no want fashion again? 😁.  Anyway, you are welcome to the Ladies Room segment. In this room, we talk about our ladies and issues that concern them. The guys are welcome to this room too. Today, we'd be talking about women as their own greatest enemies.

This topic is not strange, but nothing has really changed. We do not support our own. You'd hear women say 'why should a woman do that?' You see your fellow woman progressing and instead of supporting her, your chest is paining you. If the person is not married, that one is another wahala. You'd leave the fact that she's successful. You cannot even encourage her. A woman has not given birth to a child and all you can say is that she was probably a runs girl and she doesn't have a womb or she wants the innocent man to suffer because of her evil deeds. You don't even think the fault might be from the man. You'd see your fellow woman progressing academically and it doesn't sit well with you. You are jealous and you are looking for every possible way to demean her. What will happen if you go to her and ask her how she does it? You prefer to be bitter. You see your fellow woman hustling and her hustle is giving you a heart attack. Why? Even when she's supposed to be honoured for her hustle, you want to ruin everything because you are not happy about it. Why must she be honoured? Why not you?

You see your fellow woman going through domestic violence and you advise her to stay for the children. You tell her that nobody is going to marry her. You tell her that she can't stand on her own. You tell her that a man that loves you should beat you. Then she dies because of love, you are probably happy. You see your fellow woman who just left a bad relationship, she moves on a meets a great guy. Her ex hangs around the corner and wants to make it work, you tell her to  double date. What is there? Eat his money and run! You hear that your fellow woman was raped. You don't believe that. You say 'that one, no be only rape. Don't believe what that girl tells you o'. You even go on to say that she deserves it. A fellow woman gets pregnant out of wedlock, you say it is her fault. When she was wearing trousers and wearing makeup, what do you expect. You and your non-trousers wearing self forget all the times you went to your boyfriend's house. You forget when you missed your period, how you fasted and prayed and all the promises you made to God if you are not pregnant. Fortunately, you are not pregnant. Your period returns from it's picnic. You body shame your fellow woman everyday. She's short, she's fat, she's thin, she's shapeless, she's ugly, she's flat, she no get anything. You even tell your friend whose boyfriend is cheating on her that cheating is not a good reason to leave a relationship. You tell her that all man cheat and if she doesn't stay, she won't get a good guy. After all, Emeka is a good guy and he has money. He's even very handsome. Where are you going to get that kind of package if you leave him? Biko, you can manage him jare.

We are our own enemies! Yes, I said that. We are guilty of one, two or all of the things listed above. We don't support our fellow women. We are the cause of another woman's sorrow. This has to stop. Let's hold on and help one another, let's support our own. Let's say something meaningful to our fellow woman when she is down. I'm guilty, you are guilty too, but we have to stop this, we must end this now!

Please, leave a comment and have an amazing Wednesday.

Women are supposed to be the comfort of the world...if you can make a man happy whenever he is close to you...how much more a woman?...Anyway, its actually true that some women have attitude issues...they spark at the slightest thing...please o, we are enemies of ourselves in all aspects of life, let's change, and remain the comfort and sweetest creatures of the world����������
