Anything wrong with Aisha Alhassan and Borno State first lady sitting while Chibok parents are squatting on the floor?

Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan and Borno State first lady, Nana Shettima are pictured during her visit to the state to meet with parents of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
Lawyer and activist @ammood shared a photo from the meeting, describing it as another evidence of Northern Nigeria class division.

Abokis are like cows. They cannot think for themselves. That's why their so-called leaders always command them to kill and be killed. I feel sorry for them. They're always begging for food and alms.

There are obviously not enough seats for 99 people to sit. Why are people so sentimental. Do u expect them to stand or sit. Am sure the people even volunteered to sit on the floor,

May be they want to taaba(clean their yansh) before Islam boki haram prayer 🙏 hence need not to sit on western designed seat...hypocrites and in their respective homes..we have made in Italy verniciate chairs and settees'. Monafiki...people

Unknown said...

There's nothing wrong...... If she didn't attend to them, they'll say she's heartless. Now she has attended, they are complaining about chairs. If she gives them chair, they'll complain that she didn't give them food. Now if food is made available, they'll look for drinks......the endless list goes on. So they should squat...... I won't mind lying down to get results of my missing daughter.

Rubbish observation! Some of them were obviously sitting but not enough chairs. This has nothing to do with good governance abeg, there are more important issues than this.

Thats the north for you. They keep pulling Nigeria back! Smh!

Unknown said...

Linda and other hypocrites before. Going to post didn't u notice how smaall the room is,which can't accommodate all and it's more of a sitting room not a conference hall.again we northerners have a unique way of life that a lot of you don't understand and instead of find out you just post what ever come to your imaginations

Unknown said...

North is really a cursed region,nothing good ever cones from there.

Unknown said...

Thank God people are beginning to know the division in the north the rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer, I remembered the last time I visited the north from south I stop at a park to take mineral and biscuit to my surprise boys were to stugguling to take the reminant I don't know the act still exist that is what you will never see in the south in actual sense north is more divided than the south but one secret religion and Hausa language is what is keeping it together but in the south no general language and religion doesn't unite it.

They will call them leaders...#onMYway...

its tradition. To each his own... so before yuh talk down at anyone, understand and respect their tradition.

inequality in the nigeria,especially north,May God help us

Unknown said...

That is northern thinking and mentality. You can see how comfortable all the people there including the men are with the sitting arrangements. Unfortunately that is the way the nomadic stuck want to rule the entire country and let everyone relate with them in that format. Eg the the NPA md

Were they expecting the women to sit on the floor? At most they'll get plastic chairs for the parents of the Chibok girls

Nothing wrong. Thats how they like it, both the masters and the slaves.... Imbeciles!!

Na hausa culture na.

Anonymous said...

Please don't judge what you don't know. It's the culture in the North. Nothing offish here.

gentle said...

Your reasoning tho...quite dumb.


If they were provided with chairs, they won't refuse it surely. The class division there is that,in the north, sInce the 'lower' class weren't provided with chairs, they sit on the floor...and deem it normal. Not much of an issue to me since they are normally subservient in nature.

Na their way nah...

If its an aboki tradition,why are the 2 women in power not sitting on the floor too? Arent they all muslims?

If its an aboki trado,why are the 2 ladies not sitting with them?

MumiAdasom said...

Stop talking rubbish.linda is not the original poster, the original poster is probably northerner. Linda is asking questions cos she doesn't know about culture and don't want to jump to conclusion.

MumiAdasom said...

Where did she judge? Go tell that to the initial poster activist who is a northerner.

Unknown said...

Sofa in that sitting room is a seven seater, not like they were still vacant seat and ppl had to sit on the floor. Linda not everything bus news.

Nothing is wrong with this. Actually the rug they are sitting is more expensive that all the plastic chairs they can sit on all put togther and its more cozier. Many pple wont comprehend this because its exotic and more of a northern culture.

That is Fulani domination mentality that dictator Buhari has infected Nigeria with. How else can they show the Christians that they are serves? Next they will order all other males not to carry hairs as was the case during the time of Ahmadu Bello.

Anonymous said...

It beats me how people jump in and blame Linda for all the goddamn thing! I mean through the post an activist first pointed the divisive nature of the picture before Linda asked if anything was wrong with it! Really you people should get over your sensitive nature , if you can't deal with LIB get the bleep out and that Juliet iwu-whatever is a kiss ass!!! Like that anonymous pointed out— I've been looking for the right word to use on that gurl.

And we wonder why whites, Asians, Arabs, and pretty much everyone thinks that blacks are the lowest of the low, it is not because we are inferior but because we mistreat our own people all the time (every culture has problems, but let us be honest, black people are incredibly callous towards each other)...look at this nonsense, couldn't they arrange chairs for people to sit on

We really need to change our mentality as a people and treat each other better, otherwise we cannot expect progress or other countries to respect us

chairWOMEN MENtality said...

Just their MENtality; the women are sitting and the men are squatting or sitting on the floor. Will the north ever be free from their hands?

Most likely the MEN were even told what to say to the chairWOMEN!
