But then I was also aware of how the creator evaluated traits like a fairer skin color, a foreign accent etc to be of higher value. In reality these sort of perception of certain traits that are not 'Traditionally African' to have more value is predominant in our society and personally I think anything that reinforces these sort of perceptions should be played down on, for the sake young girls that are still at stage where their personality and confidence can be hampered by such a realization.

Ev...Lmfaooooooo people are always angry these days. Ever since the word "feminist" has started winning cool points online, a lot of people have lost their sense of humour. EVERYTHING MAKES THEM ANGRY. LITERALLY EVERYTHING ! It's sad really that people can't take jokes anymore. If this isn't insecurity then I don't know what it is. It's my cousin's wedding next week and yesterday we all had a meeting as per last preparation, since it was a bank holiday. During the meeting, I was on twitter and I started laughing. My brother was like, why are you cheesing this hard and i showed him various comments from the bride price app. Before we knew it, everyone in the gathering started doing theirs including the guys. We got to the PHD part and my sister went "Chai, no love for PHD folks like us" and we all laughed about it, with my dad saying this is what "over kaku" causes. We all just had a good laugh and no offence whatsoever because at the end of the day it is the truth and this is how it works. <br /><br />Why is the person acting like, bride price suddenly came into existence because of the app ? And if it gets taking down, would that stop the average igbo man from collecting bride price from his inlaw ? If anything at all, we should pick up on the satire, it was brilliantly done and that alone is praise worthy. And like someone rightly said "If you cannot poke fun at ridiculous every day situations, what's there to laugh at ?"<br /><br />I also hate the fact that people are talking about how it is superficial, like the world itself isn't superficial. The guy talking petition himself would have some traits he is looking for in females and the one's he would flee away from. Well, to some people that is highly superficial. Please dear feminists, you people need to start being realistic with your views. Parents train your daughters to be women and train your sons to be men. WE ARE NOT THE SAME THING..WE ARE DIFFERENT. I am not saying one is less or more equal but we are not the same thing, so please act you gender. This is the same ting with random jokes these days, if it is not sexist, it is racist, if it is not racist..it is offensive to the poor one, if it's not that..it is offensive to the caramel skinned girls or the fat ones. I am FAT and I am not insecure about it, you crack or tweet a joke about fat girls and I laugh about it and let's be honest they are the funniest type of jokes. Please people should stop seeking validation online. I will respect you because you are human and you respect me, not because you are a woman or a man. <br /><br />At the end of the day, it is feminist online but house girl in their homes.
