True talk From a brother. I once had a discussion with a young lady friend of mine. She told me of all the very inspirational things she was doing. Now, I have met quite a lot of very young, very inspirational young people who are daily breaking boundaries and making me believe in Nigeria. These people are taking impressive strides in making Africa great, by doing what they should within their spheres of influence. So it is rather difficult to impress me. But this lady did. Imagine my surprise when she finally told me, one day, that she was just started, and she still had so much more to do- but she was afraid. An elder in her field had told her that brilliant and ambitious women turned him off. He didn’t like them and his advice to her was that she should tone down and become “normal”. What that man didn’t say was that he was INTIMIDATED. And so my friend asked me if she should stop. I want to say something VERY CRUCIAL here now. I am aware that my daily BC’s and the re-BC’s reach people within and outside Nigeria, people that I have never, and may never meet. But wherever you are, whoever you are, whether I do or do not know you, if you are female and are reading this, this is my simple message to you today: The KIND of men who will be INTIMIDATED by your PURPOSE & VISION, your DRIVE & AMBITION; the kind of men who derive their “FEELING” of “GREATNESS” by their insistence on your SMALLNESS, rather than growing themselves big so you both can fulfil purpose together; the kind of men who want to catch you and then BUTCHER your GOALS & ASPIRATIONS to reduce you to a carcass; these are the kinds of men who will never be able to help you FULFIL PURPOSE or lift you. These kinds of men are EXACTLY the kinds of men you do NOT need in your life. Pursue your dreams, and keep level-headed, and the ones who LOVE and VALUE you enough will pursue you till they get you because PURSUIT is the PROOF of DESIRE. If they don’t pursue, they do not DESIRE you enough or DESERVE you at all. And if you leave your dreams to pursue these kinds of men who neither desire nor deserve you, you will lose the DREAM you desire, lose your FULFILMENT you deserve, and eventually lose the MAN who neither desired nor deserved you in the first place. Lose all the way round. Keep moving, ladies! Success is not gender selective! …I VALue You.
