Are you finding it difficult to hook yourself a man? Or have you got yourself the man, the ring and the idyllic house on the Island yet still find it difficult to navigate the streams of marriage? Nneka O. is here to help. Well, sorta.
She curates some thoughts of Nigerians, broadcast on Twitter expressing how a woman who wants to marry must conduct herself in order to get a guy and how to keep the relationship seamless when she becomes a Mrs. Of course, these perspectives are as backward and sexist as can be.
