A Nigerian feminist on twitter has caused a debate on the micro-blogging platform over her reason for disdain of the 1976 Nigerian Hit song by Prince Nico Mbarga titled ‘sweet mother’.
The feminist with the username @rimzzzeee wrote ;
After becoming a feminist, I cannot tell you how much I hate that fucking “Sweet Mother” song. The worst part is that Naija moms love that song. I hate it so much. I don’t want to hear it ever again
For me, the song glorifies the suffering of women and reduces women’s worth to how much they can endure. Every day we see these Naija men talk about women and their value to them as lovers, mothers and usually their affection is correlated to how these women serve them
Ask a Nigerian man why he loves his mother or girlfriend and see if he can list 5 reasons that doesn’t involve her being of service.
Well, Do Y’all agree with her?
