Jenifa

What do you guys think of Jennifer? A beautiful Yoruba film, I love the way Funke Akindele portrays the village girl character, a typical Ibadan girl. She really did justice to the work. It’s a must watch for every students especially the undergraduates that believes that the only way to make it in life is through dating several men and living big on campus not minding the end result. What do you think?

Baba Oba

Is it really true that when you give a woman power to rule she tends to misuse it?
Supposing a married woman becomes a king/ruler, what do you think will happen to the husband who is supposed to be the head of the home?
Is it right at all for a woman to assume the role of a man and if she does, will she still be able to discharge her duties as deem fit.
