A Nigerian software engineer, Joseph Brendan, has advised women in the country to be stubborn unless they will suffer.
According to him, he has never seen a Nigerian woman who made it to the top without being stubborn.
“If you are a Nigerian woman, make sure you are stubborn. I have not seen a Nigerian woman who made it to the top of anything without being stubborn,” he wrote in a post on Monday.
"Stop shining teeth always, learn stubbornness I have seen it first hand with my sisters. The society always gave them what's theirs because them no dey laugh with you.
“Consciously and unconsciously most Nigerian men do not see you as being capable over them. It's your duty to use stubbornness and remind them that you are more capable when you are.
“Shine teeth when necessary, bone face when necessary. Or else you go suffer like back of slippers.”
