There is this saying that goes "what a man can do, a woman can do it better". Not true in all cases but one can see where they are coming from. Anytime we hear the word "dictator" we think of the likes of Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin, Josef Stalin, Benito Mussolini etc, we always tend to forget the women. Why? I don't know. Luckily y'all have me(you're welcome). These women helped shaped history even though it cost the lives of thousands of people. 7. AGRIPPINA  Born in AD 15 in Rome,Agrippina the Younger was the great granddaughter of Roman Emperor Augustus and sister of the Emperor Caligula. In AD 39, Caligula exiled her for conspiring against him, but he allowed her to return to Rome in AD 41. In AD 49, Agrippina saw her main chance and seized it. Poisoning her second husband, Passienus Crispus, she married her uncle, the Emperor Claudius, by then an old and feeble man, and effectively took control. Agrippina soon bullied Claudius into adopting her son Nero...

  I have to be sincere, this article has got to be one of the hardest for me to write. I don't even know how to start but i have to start from somewhere. Anyone who knows me knows how i have always advocated for equal rights, its safe to say i was a feminist. For those who don't know, a feminist is a person who believes in the political, economic and social equality of the sexes. Now most people would probably ask 'why don't you just call yourself an equalist'? Feminists are equalists but you have to state the problem which is women being oppressed and emasculated, sounds kinda perfect right? That was the real intention of the movement, but like every movement they are always a group of people who take it to the extremes. Recently, i have been on a journey of self realization and actualization which entails getting to know my creator more, knowing what i really stand for and what i believe in. For almost a decade, i have identified as a feminist and have dedicated a...

To be sincere, i really don't know how to start this article. I am angry, i'm infuriated,confused and sad. Excuse my language but WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? We keep hearing more rape cases everyday, is it that we women really don't matter or men just see us as sexual objects somebody better explain it to me because i don't understand. Let's be clear, rape happens everywhere(sadly but true) but there seems to be an uprise these past few weeks especially in my country NIGERIA but that doesn't mean it just started. According to the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics, in 2017 there were  -2,279 reported cases of rape and indecent assault -1,164 reported cases of 'unnatural offences' (i.e anal sex) -0 conviction reported by police -1 state (out of 36) reported no cases of indecent assault In Nigeria, It is not uncommon for rape to go unreported. Some victims and their families, fearing stigmatization, police extortion and lack of trust in the judicial process, choo...
