Veronica + Pablo - APFR (Telemundo's Tierra De Reyes)

Veronica and Pablo are the only reason I watch Telemundo Africa's A Passion For Revenge.

So I will be bringing you updates on the gorgeous couple as the show progresses.

Episode 43 - Update
After Leonardo punched Pablo because he suspected Pablo of romantic entanglement with Sophia, the maid Rocio took it upon herself to clean him up. Veronica walks in on them and after hearing what led to the cut on Pablo's face asked(well commanded) Rocio to go do her chores as she will take care of Pablo(and boy, she did take care of him!).

From cleaning Pablo's face, next we see Veronica breathing wants on his face, her eyes daring and lips tempting Pablo for a kiss. "Oh Veronica, don't do this, I am not good enough for you" Pablo said to Veronica, all the while not moving an inch from her face (there is nothing hotter than a hot guy who is oblivious of his hotness)

"I don't care, I have tried to fight it, I can't. I want you" replied Veronica (yes Veronica is young, beautiful, rich and fabulous but she wants poor hot Pablo even though she's engaged and we have learnt so far that what Veronica wants, she gets)

Pablo lowers his lips on hers gently, slightly hesitant like a little boy playing with his favourite expensive toy for the first time. (Just when I was about to scream "yes, yes, yes", Soledad walked in on them and tried to be a "downer") but Veronica put her in her place "I haven't given you the right to interfere in my life, you are just a servant, see you later Pablo" said Veronica (roughly translated "if you see me kissing Pablo next time, don't you dare interrupt Soledad, Pablo I look forward to more kisses)

My favourite quotes from Veronica and Pablo from this episode are;

*Pablo to Veronica (As his lips touched Veronica's lips)- "Those eyes had me from the very first moment that we met"

*Veronica to Pablo (after Pablo tells her that he doesn't understand why Leonardo feels threatened by him because a woman of Sophia's status cannot want someone like him) - "Well if I was Sophia, Leonardo would have a lot to worry about"

That's it for episode 42 update on Veronica and Pablo. I can't wait for their next encounter!

Nigerian feminists are jokers!!!

These are some of the statements I have read and heard self-professed Nigerian feminists say about Linda Ikeji which solidified they are jokers.

"Linda Ikeji's wealth is not from blogging, she must be sleeping with someone" - slut tagging/ supporting the notion that successful women must have slept/ are sleeping with someone.

"Linda Ikeji is wrong, she is a woman. she should not buy expensive things or show off her possessions" - Telling a female to live according to societal norm.

"Linda Ikeji deserves all Wizkid dished to her" - supporting slut shaming & violence against women.

"Linda Ikeji wants to destroy Wizkid's career by reporting him to the police. She did that because she has money and power" - supporting the erroneous belief that women cannot be trusted with money or power

"Linda Ikeji talks too much about male blokos. She is a woman it is wrong"- Supporting the sexual inhibition of women

"Don't you just love the funny memes of Linda being single trending online, serves her right, right?", said the Nigerian feminist happily. - Supporting shaming of unmarried women

I decided to use Linda Ikeji as an example because she embodies what feminism is about "a self independent woman who can do/ achieve what society believes a single woman can't"

Yet we have our so called feminists supporting slut shaming, violence and all kinds of things against Linda Ikeji simply because she is not downtrodden enough? She made some offensive reports? She is not personable?She is successful without being married?

When they encourage ills against Linda Ikeji, do they not understand that they support everything their movement is against? Do they not understand they are empowering men to slut shame/ threaten violence against women they dislike? Do these jokers not realise they are justifying our society's ill-conceived beliefs of women?Do they not realise, their attack clears our senators from not signing bills protecting women?

Most Nigerian feminists "hate" Linda Ikeji because she is the closest to what feminism is about. They have no idea what feminism is? Thus, cannot come to terms with a real feminist.

Maybe there is something in the air that makes beliefs and movements take different forms in Nigeria. That would explain the case of self-professed Nigerian feminists.
