I don’t think I
have ever heard or walked into a group of women discussing politics, the political
terrain, political parties, the price of crude oil, crude oil theft in the
Niger Delta, the power of incumbency, world politics e.t.c....... all I have
heard are women
·
in my office restroom discussing
diapers, baby developments, brazilian/peruvian hair, make-up, shoes, clothes,
bags, vacation among other “womanly” gist
·
in my home church discussing how to
be a better wife, the power of a praying woman, training Godly children, housekeeping
issues et.c.
Is this a case of “wetin
concern agbero with overload” or a case of Sister Sykik is vain, I need to
start carrying these legs to where intellectual discourse is taking place and
stop wakaing to where aproko
gist is taking place.
I am not a lost
case sha, I engage in intellectual discourse when I find myself among men,
in fact, the men on my floor in the office discuss football so much I had to
start following premiership league because I started feeling “one kain” when they mention Ronaldo, Messi,
Benzema, Drogba and others.....I had to up my knowledge of European football
and quickly registered myself under Chelsea fan club( this is Hubby’s club and
it’s better to support where my bread is being buttered).
The guys also
discuss Nigerian politics, and it’s a battle of which party is better – APC or PDP,
when they start arguing like this, I step back listen and then also put my
mouth to fuel the discussion...now I know all about caucus meetings, why Amaechi
is angry, that it is an open secret that President Jonathan is coming back, that
APC means Asiwaju Personal Company ati be-be-lo.....thanks
to them I am politically vast and won’t look lost when anyone mentions any
political jargon, I have idea and last time I checked "idea is need" .........I
dey kampe, you can try and ask me
when elections are taking place in Nigeria , in case you don’t know it’s year 2015 oh and I know that there will be
elections on Valentine’s day sef........hehehe......don’t
try me oh, Sister Sykik, wetin bring
Valentine’s day into this election matter discussion....*bbm rolling eyes*
What is the essence
of this post sef, even me doesn’t know oh.....wetin “konsine” una
with my knowledge of politics, I don’t know, why am I subjecting you to reading
this post, I don’t know, maybe I am trying to re affirm to myself that I am not
so vain after all............I just stumbled into another toilet gist in the
women’s rest room...... do you want to hear what I heard........ say “Yay” in
the comment section, just maybe the "yays" will have it...........however, truth
be told, it’s easier to do aproko than task the brain about what is GDP and how
it affects the price of garri in mile 12 market.
Have a blissful
weekend sweethearts......I love you more than agege bread and ewa aganyin
Hehehe...sistah Sykik cannot be vain...lailai
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you won't find me initiating such a topic in the midst of women...very funny. Maybe 'We' are just too intellectual to bother discussing kwe kwe issues like the premiership or PDP where other trending global issues like vacations, Peruvian and all the other vians dey worry the ministry of home affairs...
I say 'yay' 'yay'...*amebo of lyf*
Wishing you a beautiful November, sis.
True talk, women don't have time for kwe kwe issues o jare......*winking*
DeleteI wish you a miracle filled November
Sisi Sykik.... loooollls!
ReplyDeleteI say yay sha, but I am not vain oh...
Lol @ " I am not vain oh" .....I haff hear you
DeleteI like discussion of all type, except, sports ..... but I like gossip most....so YAY!.....ahahaa...happy new month ahead.
ReplyDeleteThank you my good friend, I love gossip too.....
DeleteFather, forgive me for I have sinned , how can I say I love gossip......lemme go annoying myself...
*annoint*
DeleteI am just thanking God for my mum as I read this.When she and I are together or on the phone 50 % of the discussion is politics and the way she tells it makes it sound like gossip.'Ha! These Burkina Faso people have charged o. They started rioting and burning everything because they dont want their president to continue. How can somebody even be there for 27 years sef?' etc. So I have no choice but to be educated about these things.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, am not sure Mama Sykik knows that Burkina Faso is a country
DeleteMe, I discuss business o. Trust me. However, I don't talk about Nigerian politics. I believe it has too much ability to break my heart, and give me headache cos I am very passionate. So I just steer clear.
ReplyDeleteI would have been shocked if it was otherwise, you sound so focused, I picture you so businesslike and serious - Chritiane Amanpourish....lol..
DeleteLool@ businesslike and serious- Christiane Amanpourish.
DeleteEven though I like Aproco gist, by the way Yay to the toilet gist I like to have intelligent discourse too. For me its mostly tech, HR, books, sometimes politics
Lol please i only talk about heaven and how to get there.
ReplyDeleteSykik, you'll forever remain a blessing :)
Me and you are sisters in kind, haven't you noticed I only talk heaven....lol....*giving her side eye*
DeleteA www, don't make my head swell oh, friendship is a two way thing......I appreciate you ma'am
Sister Sykik o! LOL! Eku ise. I'm fine! Thank you for checking up on me. Je suis appreciacion. I apologize if I just murdered that French.
ReplyDeletePlease continue to inform yourself abeg. It's ok to be an all rounder. You don't know the day they'll be dashing that people that know Nigeria's GDP money. So please know it and keep it in your left hand :D
lol....thanks babe, will keep it in my left hand so I don't use it to chop eba.
DeleteGlad to know you are doing well
hehehehehehe I dunno why ooo, but i started laughing once i read the Title of the post... Happy New month to you too Mzz Sykik heheh nawa ooo.. So APC means Asiwaju Personal company? lmao! now thats Epic... I think men and women are kinda wired in a different way hence men never enjoy women gist and vice versa... Anyways sha, i believe like you said "Idea is key ooo", so there is no harm in knowing a little of this and a little of that. @ Chelsea and pitching your tent where your bread is buttered.. Hmmnnn if my Woman was Chelsea ehn, I would break up with her ASAP. :) No love can overcome my anger and dislike for ""THE BLUES"" **Shines Teeth..
ReplyDeleteP.S: One day amma go to the ladies to eave drop ooo.. But how come women feel more comfortable gisting there any way? Well In Sykiks voice, what is my concern?? **Sips limca. :) Cheers Bubba. :)
dislike for blues ke, please don't tell me you are a gunner oh....lmao @ eave drop for ladies , my hand is not there oh when you are caught
DeleteBlessings......
ReplyDeleteHere i get it all
babies, politics, social justice, inequity, men, love, infidility even gossip.
if all else fails you can start the political dialogue.
I wonder if you understand the Nigerian pidgin I throw into my post.
Deletelool
