Feminism, described in the dictionary as “the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.”
The word ‘Feminism’ is the reason Nigerian singer and entertainer, Teni, is currently trending on Twitter.
The singer shared an opinion on feminism and all hell is let loose.
Teni says being a feminist also means ladies should be able to kneel and propose to men for marriage. “Y’all are feminists till it’s time to bend on one knee to ask a man to marry you! Aren’t we equal?,” Teni twitted.
She went on to say; “I stand for women anyday anytime, I’ll always support the growth of the girl child. But the girl child must learn to uplift one another not tear each other down. Be a feminist on all grounds. Stand tall and never back down.”

This has not gone down well with the host of feminist ladies in the house as they have called for Teni’s head.

This is such a counter productive thing to say. I’m so disappointed. https://t.co/j1YPbMqG7i
