A woman who wears anklets or waist beads or both is deemed a certain way by society. The stereotype with this means the woman is seen as "loose", "promiscuous", "diabolical" or "uncultured". Truthfully, some women wear these ornaments to adorn themselves, to make fashion statements or to uphold cultural heritage. But people generally discriminate against these ornaments and some men don't want have anything to do with women who wear them. Do you think there are deeper meanings to wearing them? Do you think women should be allowed to wear whatever it is they like? Do you prefer any of the ornaments to the other or do you like both? Listen, Share and I'd love to hear your feedback.

A man, even from training as a young boy, is told not to be emotional. No matter how a situation might be to make him vulnerable, showing emotion will make society regard him as less than a man. I ask you, what are the pros and cons of this stereotype? How has it affected our male gender? How long will they continue to bottle up their feelings? How should they exercise emotional discipline even when they are being expressive of how they feel?

Today's episode talks about the marriage stereotypes in the Nigerian-African community. As a woman, if by 30 or older you aren't married, the society sees you as "OLD CARGO". Even if you are still in your 20's, because you don't want to be seen as OLD CARGO by the time you're 30, you fall into the pressure of finding a marriage partner by any way. Can the same be said for men? Also, there are those who see marriage as the end point of life. They don't believe in having personal goals and achieving them before marriage or even in marriage! Once you're married, you're good to go and that's the end of the road! Well, what do YOU think about these stereotypes? Say something in the "Voice Message" section.😉😊

Stereotypes shape our perspectives and mindset of people, places and things. Sometimes these stereotypes do more bad than good to a person or place's image. Sometimes they aren't even true!😣 Sometimes they are!😂 Today's episode talks about the stereotypes in the home of a Nigerian-African Community.
