My aspiration is to be one of the builders of a world of equality, a world where diversity is respected and value for people's lives is paramount. A world where religion and culture are not used as weapons of dispute and destruction, where leaders serve and not steal, where everyone does not pretend to love each other but does so straight from the heart.

Isn't it such a powerul song?
Huge fan of Asa
let me go n listen to d song
uhhh....we all love Asa!
How come i can't see or watch the song....not fair!!!!:-(
@Ajike, sorry o Ajike, may be ur system doesnt have the flash or something to watch it.
@Charizard, yes we all love our ASA.
@Pink-Satin, hope you have listened to the song now. Whatdayathink?
@Zena, if you are on facebook, do join ASA fan group, thanks
First time here. Why on earth am I always attracting feminists? I'm not even so sympathetic to your cause so it's weird. I believe in equality of course, but I find that most feminists I know usually fail at defining their movement. They go overboard. For instance, setting culture aside, its a given that marriages are built on mutual love, respect etc so when an advert says "If I dont take care of him, who will?" does it necessarily mean that the man doesnt do his bit in taking care of the woman? Couldnt it just have been pointing out that men are often sloppy at matters bordering on personal hygiene? And isnt marriage really about balancing weaknesses and strengths? The funny thing is if the advert had man saying "If I dont take care of her who will?" your conclusion might very likely have been "women don't need to be taken care of. They are strong, independent blah blah blah whatever whatever". Anyway I dont want to start my own blogpost here, this is getting way too long. Thanks for visiting mine. And FYI this wasn't a rant...I'm merely trying to understand something. You rooted for Chelsea...thats enough to win my mouse-click.lol.

@Doug, depends on the culture that the feminist want to set aside, is it the culture of you dont talk when your husband is talking with his relatives or you even excuse them completely? Or the culture of girl-child is too be thot how to do domestic chores and boy-child not? I can go on and on.
Abt the dettol advert, remember is being like that for more than 3 yrs, what abt the angle of balance? Like showing the man just buying the soap and taking it home to his wife? So, couldn't it have being that the husband or child of the woman thinks about her too? Change is the only thng that works?
Well, dwont you rather attract feminist?
"well wont I rather attract feminist?" - yah actually, aside from the fact that in all honesty most men annoy me with the way they talk about women, I find that the feminists in my life are thinkers. And really any other type would find me boring.lol.

@ Doug hmmmmmmmmmmmmm what can I say, welcome bro
nice song, Asa try nor be small.
enjoy ur w'end..
my rgards to scoffield,*winks*
my dear i dont know why i havent stopped by your blog before...a huge oversight on my part. But yes, I love Asa's entire album - just got it a few weeks ago. This song is particularly powerful. Her voice is unique revealing the wide diversity of talents that exist in Nigeria.
pyoo wata
the nollywood critique
I love all the songs in her album Nneoma. Never can get enuf of it
I love her songs!
We can do with more creative and assertive artistes like Asa,Infinity and 9ice,rather than everyone trying to copy one American hiphop star or the other.My only problem is that female acts in this country have still to bloom on stage (they are way too timid ).If Asa can break the ice, it'll be to our general good.
@Africa Entertainment and sports. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
ASA... love her songs too, very relaxing i must say. and her lyrics makes sense too.
those 12 items makes great sense too
thanks for the birthday wishes, i know am late but u know wat they say, its betta late than neva...
love this tooo!!!!!!!! something so raw and beautiful bout asa!!!!!!!! i've been listening to 'bibanke' and 'so beautiful' for days none stop...ma roomates keep asking why its on replay....only few can understand i guess..lol...
p.s:- greetings from a 2 day old blogsvillian!xoxo
