chocolate and plantain gurlz (an interesting perspective of proverbs 31:10-31)
Let me guess you are a little startled at this topic. i also am, please have this chocolate bar (bounty is my favorite) and plantain . feel free to eat any of them as you read on.
One day, while musing about the different kind of females i had met, i had an epiphany. i discovered that they could be classified into two broad categories: chocolate and plantain. you may be thinking to yourself, "BIG DEAL! NA TODAY? WHO NO KNOW? abeg chocolate girls are all out, use cover-up, bla bla bla ...,and plantain girls are the exact opposite. Infact most "SU" girls are plantain girls" well you are not entirely correct, most plaintain girls dress well and there are scores of chocolate girls in the church. yes, i said church ....so wat is my point.
Before i go on i want to point out dat this is not abt marriage (wat do i know abt marriage). i have shared these thought with couple of my friends and they think my point is amusing....... truthfully our biblical text may not fit exactly since it talks abt wife, however it will give us insight abt a type of females........let's find out ......
now chocolate girls........dignity is a sense of your own importance and value. from afar the chocolate girls looks very confident..hmm get closer and you will see her low self worth. she kips working on the outside to get approval. she is a compulsive user of cover-up (excessive make-up) goes to those expensive outings almost everytime, must be at celebritygatherings, must have expensive outgoing cell phones she will never use ( why buy an iphone and use it to make just calls and send sms?) tries to look so much like video girls and then wonder why her bride price is negotiated, buys almost everything she sees on fashion tv and never uses the toilet.
If she has the financial base to maintain this lifestyl, hmm thanks to daddy(ies) and bobos, she will get haughty and live in the illusion that she is of a class .....the moment she is stripped of her glamorous artificial wraper, her weak and malleable core is exposed......
for plantain gurls hmmm........do you know the funny thing is that plantain girls has many of the material things the chocolate girl has, along with a haelthy high self esteem. some day she may use make-up (many do) dress gorgeously and on the oda days, maybe plait her hair, wear plain clothing and eat at white house (an amala joint at sabo) after shoping at tejuosho market. she is very natural and happy with herself.......infact let me stop here so you can imagine a little .....ahh ahh she is just to much.........to be continued.............(fisayo)

ReplyDeletehmmmmmmmm.....interesting take and categorization although I beg to differ mainly because in my experience I know that women are more complex your generalization would have us believe. As women we hold a multiplicity of identities and how those identities manifests into the everyday is dependent upon our experiences, environment, circumstances and situations we are faced with. All women have vulnerabilities and insecurities it’s called being human, now how those show up varies greatly. True some get played out on a superficial level i.e. as you have mentioned with gobs of makeup, I’ll even add promiscuity, intense focus on materialistic things etc, mostly these modes of behaviors are covering many hurts that other outside of their context may not privy to, able to see or judge with the naked eye. One must be mindful that what you see isn’t what is and that it is merely a faction of the depth and complexity of a person.
Provactive piece...keep writing, enjoy the rest of your week and stay blessed.
