Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Poetic Thoughts

Except that no eagle ever claims to be a wife because that is a term invented by white men, apologies to Oyeronke Oyewunmi, the invention of women. And African woman can also play the role of the female husband or male daughter as Ifi Amadiume reminds us.

Moreover, there was no argument between the two souring Super Falcons. If she no vex who want borrow vex? They simply agreed that wifery should not be the genesis of the identity of a daughter. Nor should failure to become a damn good anything be her crowning glory after she won by 3 million votes but still lost to a husband imho.

Argument ensued.

"I am a mother,

I am a wife",

One boasted.

Only a wife?

You upset me",

The other replied.

Here on earth,

More arguments ensued.
