This post is not meant to insult Nigerian ladies, but one thing
that i have discovered amongs Nigerian ladies is their lack of
creativity.
You will hardly hear or read a news that talks about an
invention or innovation from a Naija lady.
I am not talking about being a good actress or owning a
boutique or a blog like linda ikeji.
I am talking about having their own invention or innovation.
Something that the world will remember them for.
Unlike the guys that are creative, go to Aba and see creativity
from guys, A naija guy has even manufacture a smartphone, A
naija guy has invented an automated teller machine that
dispenses coins, there are thousand of creativity that have
benefited the world from Nigerian men.
But our ladies are not that creative, unlike ladies in Europe and
america.
But why!?
Below are some women inventors but no naija woman.
