Lady bricklayer throws Nigerians into a feat of heated reactions

It is a well-known saying that what a man can do a woman can do better. Same seems to be the case of a young lady whose choice to work as a bricklayer in order to fend for herself is both a challenge to some men and a topic for discussion especially on social media.

Although almost nothing is known about the young female in question, it is believed that she is a Nigerian who just wants to make a living for herself instead of idling away or indulging in any form of social vice.

Her stance and doggedness to succeed in life through hard work are a recipe for viral discussion for Nigerian social media subscribers.

While some feel that the young lady's situation is nothing new and that this is not a gender war, others appreciate her for being an example of the dignity of labour. This set of Nigerians believe that among other similar cases, it proves that the narrative is being changed in terms of what jobs are peculiar to either males or females.

Some other Nigerians on Twitter believe that this is just a make-believe, adding that this is just a show that does not deserve retweeting and discussion.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian man identified as Zaddy Yo (@el_treaph_) on Twitter had taken to the microblogging site to celebrate hardworking women after he spotted a female danfo driver for the first time in Lagos.

He shared snaps from the encounter as he revealed that he wished he had taken more. In his caption, he wrote: “First time I saw a woman driving a Danfo ,I wish I got a better SHOT . .. “Big shout out to all women , hustling to make there own money .Instead of sitting idle at home.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
