Been bantering on WhatsApp around all the money #Doings going on in Eastern Nigeria.
Been joking sef that there is money and there is Anambra money.
But I found something else that the spirits whispered to me
[I come in peace o]

December down there is a thrill, eye candy of all sorts, brings us all convoys, these men outdo themselves, even 2022 car an Igbo man has bought it and driven to his hometown
Women hardly lead this flamboyant display, they may have the money o but may not be "show" geng

So my younger friends are down there, giving me gist and banters. We even saw the Tesla in Anambra at an event
They said ahhh, they are just taking note of where these rich dudes are hanging out, then hope to dressing very dashing to get their attention and possibly marriage

Some of your Igbo mothers are there suffering to do matchmaking with their daughter that hasn't passed SCCE AND Chief Omeego's bloody rich son
(Yes, a lot of life as you think is archaic exists outside your social media space till tomorrow)

A few years down the line, we see this girl, beautiful trophy wife that everyone envies on the outside but cannot cough in her home
Sometimes they actually finish school o. You may have seen some in your Uni, oppressing you with luxury cars and paying for everyone's handout

But they may often be unable to do anything for themselves (this isn't an absolute statement so now is not the time to tell me of your Aunty Nkechi that is an exception biko)
They will never be able to leave the marriage if they get to experience beatings or other forms of abuse

So I ask these girls, why aren't you dressing up sweetly to go have fun for funsakes and possibly strike BUSINESS convos?
You like the display of wealth, good. Me too sef I like good things.
But why is your immediate thinking around men with money how you can marry them?
Sigh

Especially as the attraction is primarily the money before the man.
So why are you targeting the money through the man? My friend said it's nothing new, hypergamy has always been a technique to enrichment or class ascension.

The technique is there, tested and trusted for some.
So me, I don't have the energy for how we try to point certain things to inspire younger ones and it is classed as gender wars

So I asked my younger friends, do you like these men or the convoy and money they spray? They said the latter. I said ehnnn get yours na, they said ehhhnnn, that women can never have that type of money except they marry a rich man.
I used to hear it too.
I have unheard it.

So you see, I meant it when I said I came in peace.
Beyond banters, what conversations are we having in our circle of influence? That's the food for thought.
You, parent of the female child today, please, teach her to aspire to her own
And she doesn't have to hate men.

Teach her this, far and above all, that in her engagement with them, and life generally, there is a table, and it is important that she does not come to it emptyhanded.
