In the bustling streets of Lagos, where the hustle is as real as the traffic on Third Mainland Bridge, there’s a revolution stirring among the womenfolk. As we mark International Women’s Day, it’s time to roll up our gele and tackle a phenomenon as old as time itself: mean girl platforms.
Picture this: a group of women gathered at a buka, their voices rising like the steam from a pot of bubbling egusi soup. But instead of sharing laughter and camaraderie, they’re engaged in the age-old tradition of tearing each other down – gossiping, backstabbing, and throwing shade faster than you can say “Nollywood drama.”
But fear not, my sisters, for change is on the horizon. Led by the indomitable Mama Nkechi, a force to be reckoned with in her own right, these women are on a mission to dismantle the mean girl platforms once and for all.
“Ah, my dear sisters,” Mama Nkechi declares, her voice booming like thunder in the rainy season, “it’s time to put an end to this nonsense once and for all. We are queens, not petty princesses fighting for scraps of attention!”
And so, armed with nothing but their wits and a healthy dose of sass, Mama Nkechi and her squad set out to reclaim the narrative. They start by leading by example, showering each other with compliments instead of insults and lifting each other up, instead of tearing each other down.
But dismantling the mean girl platforms is no easy feat. They face resistance from the self-appointed queen bees, whose stingers are as sharp as their tongues. Yet, Mama Nkechi and her squad refuse to back down, armed with the knowledge that true strength lies in unity, not division.
As word spreads of their mission, more and more women join the cause, like warriors rallying to defend their homeland. Together, they form a sisterhood as strong as the bonds of family, united in their quest to create a world where women build each other up instead of tearing each other down.
And so, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, let us raise our glasses – whether filled with zobo or champagne, the choice is yours – to Mama Nkechi and her squad, to the women who dare to defy the status quo, and to the power of sisterhood to change the world, one gossip-free conversation at a time.
