COULD IT BE THE MONEY!!



Ladies have just become too much to bear. They have the zeal and the strength to go on. You spot them gracefully spotting the streets as if they belong. Gyrating, they wobble across the city streets embellishing cheap tops turvy expensive cologne and hiding behind a mask of makeup. Are they up to something? No one knows.
Just wait when they empty the contents of their hand bags, which they rarely do, that is when you realize that our ladies have more on their sleeves than one could hold. Oh! Sorry, they never have sleeves nowadays, it’s sleeveless.
If you were waiting for bottle of soda and some tattered tissues and maybe a sanitary pad and an extra panty or in that case a neckerchief, you are mistaken! Hey! Their hand bags now contain something else, several classy phones, an iPod, earphones, several ATM’s, credit and debit cards and other expensive accessories. Yea, you guessed it right, just like soap opera ladies.
The manner in which they gestulate with several handcuffs, oh! Bangles, or are they? On their hands you see heaven in their eyes! They have literally gotten the status, ‘of the owners of the world’
Wait! Don’t get your hopes high, if you are a potential bachelor out there. Hey she is not into you! She is a college girl, a university student perhaps, performed very well in high school winning admiration from her peers and elders in her distant village somewhere. That is how she earned her passport to the city; to pursue further studies. With accolades and pride flowing from all corners, she walks in the blessings and trust of her parents. Her innocence would create no doubt that after Mary, the mother of Jesus; she is the next holy thing!
Most ladies get from the villages in pursuit of educational prowess, a preserve of towns. When they get there, life is not dreamy as they did expect but rather indifferent. The only option is to get down and do the calculating, for to survive you must be tactical.
These young girls only have one way of survival, hanging onto the only thing that they possess; their innocence. Innocence is a tool that can down even a hardened soul. Therefore our young ones armed with this vital tool caress night clubs and hang onto ‘men of substance.’ That is where trouble begins.
My question is are they into these game for the love of the money or is it for the sense of maturity and care this well to do belly movers show that moves our ladies? One thing I have to admit is that, these old geezers have perfected the art of lie and seduction that even a flat footed lady will have to fall for. Hence making them more eligible candidates for these ladies. One more thing is that they never have any hurry to taste the forbidden fruits since this will make the bait overly insecure. Their moves are calculated and show a cool demeanor to disarm the lady, a quality the young stalkers lack.
My admittance though does not remove the doubt. Is it because of the money? Well, partly yes, partly it maybe they also do not know what they are looking for. They are just into it since they are also bound to play.
My arguments is that, given that money has become the only way to luxury, then this girls are into it for money! For, who really wants to laugh on a bicycle a rickety one for that matter? They had rather borrow the adage; a smile is only what people see and not what you feel deep inside.
Some claim that, those guys they might decide to fall for are bound to break their and make them suffer. They incline to the married men for they are not going to hurt them since they already know that he is committed. She is just a side dish.
The reasons might be numerous, explanation mind blowing but what remains thereof is that; we are in for big game. And making the ultimate just to be or not to be has just all the same become our antidote to survival. If you spot them outside with their canvas like handbag, know that the bag carries more to it than you can afford. So, beat it brother!

EXPLORING FEMINISM IN BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH AND A DOLL'S HOUSE

Feminism emerged as a movement to fight for the social, political and economic rights of the women. It is more of a political movement that recognises the individuality and sexuality of women and how historically and religion wise have been segregated. Before the advent of feminism, women lived under the tutelage of their male counterparts. For instance, a woman did not have any right to choose whom to marry, it was the prerogative of the male family member to choose. In the TV Serial, Rome, Julius 'Octavian' Caesar, who later became Augustus Caesar, makes a decision that affects both his mother and sister in a way unimaginable. The mother, Artia of the Julii is in love with Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony) and she plans to marry him. However, Caesar decides it will be impossible for the two lovebirds to make it official. For political reasons, he settles for his sister Octavia as a suitable wife for Mark Anthony! There are many examples of male subjugation in numerous cultu...

THEME OF MARRIAGE IN A DOLL'S HOUSE

Henrik Ibsen explores marriage as a tool for women subjugation and at the same time as a weapon of financial emancipation. He also looks at marriage as a level-headed arrangement between two like-minded individuals. Marriage is one of the most celebrated unions in the world. Similarly, it enjoys such high moral ground in religious and many cultural circles. In A Doll’s House, Henrik Ibsen explores this vital part of the society in the life and times of Nora, her husband Torvald Helmer and other characters. From the onset, marriage seems a happy association since Nora is jubilant and bubbly as a wife. Although money could be one of the factors that threaten this marriage, Nora is capable of handling it. Torvald is very particular about the family’s expenditure and warns Nora to be careful. Being naïve and playing innocence helps Norah to get away with her husband’s restraint. In their association, Helmer holds the high moral ground, chief financier and key decision-maker. He ...
