  • Nigerian Women Should Stop Apologising for These 9 Ridiculous Things

    If we hear Nigerian women apologizing for these things, we’d have to step in.

    Written By:

    Nigerian women apologise for various ridiculous reasons, and we鈥檙e tired of it. These nine things are particularly more ridiculous than most, so don鈥檛 apologise for them. Everyone will be fine. 

    Taking up space 

    No matter what capacity you鈥檝e chosen to take up space in, do it with your full chest. 

    Giving instructions 

    You鈥檙e someone鈥檚 oga. Why are you apologising for telling people to do their job? Do your bosses apologise when they tell you to work? No? Exactly. 

    Not having makeup on 

    You were not born with highlight on your nose and blush on your cheeks. There鈥檚 no reason why you should be apologising for walking around with the face you were born with. If people have a problem with it, they should remove their eyes.

    Resting because of cramps

    Your period will come whenever and however it wants, without regard for your plans. It inconveniences your the most, so why apologise because you need to rest because of the pain? You weren鈥檛 created to withstand pain. Rest and don鈥檛 feel bad about it. 

    Having unlaid edges 

    If edges needed to be laid 24/7, we鈥檇 have been born that way. Why should you apologise for the hair that grows out of your head? 

    Not wanting to start a family 

    It鈥檚 alright to live a life alone. If that鈥檚 what makes you happy, why should you apologise for it? It鈥檚 not like the people hounding you to get married and have children will pay for any of it or deal with the stress for you. They should get out.

    Asking for better 

    Be it in relationships or work, if you deserve better, don鈥檛 feel bad for asking for it. You know your worth, so you shouldn鈥檛 apologise for asking that other people see it too. 

    Choosing yourself 

    Your happiness is more important than whatever people expect of you. If they don鈥檛 like the life you鈥檙e living, they should leave you alone. You do not owe people a life that causes you discomfort and unhappiness. 

    Not knowing how to cook 

    Just because you鈥檙e a woman doesn鈥檛 mean you were born with a spatula. Everyone should rest.
