A blind man was in a town that he knew very well when a great famine befell him.

He went to the king of that town, and asked him for food.

The king gave him yams and meat, and he walked away rejoicing.

"Mana tupuu ọ pụọ, Eze nyere ya ndụmọdụ, gwa ya ka ọ ghara ịgwa onye ọbụla na ò nyere ya nri"

But before he went the king advised him not to tell anyone that he was given the food items.

He walked away and met the cripple who was very hungry.

And he told him to go to the king to receive things to eat from him.

The cripple went to the king and asked him for food.

The king asked him who told him he had food.

He said it was the blind man that told him.

The king took yams and meat and gave to him as he gave to the blind man.

He gave him the same advice.

Immediately the cripple went quietly.

He went a little way, then met a poor man and began saying in a loud voice,

“Go to the king for your share; he is aiding the helpless.”

The poor man went to the king and at once asked for his own share.

The king asked him who told him he was giving food to people.

He said it was the cripple.

The king gave to him as he gave to the cripple, and told him the same word he told the cripple.

The poor man went away and saw a thief.

The thief begged him to tell him where he got yams and meat but the poor man refused.  

The thief went to the king to ask for food.

The king asked him whom he met on the road.

He said it was the poor man.

The king asked him whether he told him anything and he said "no!!".

The King then said "go to the house of the blind man and the cripple and steal what they have'.

The king told him to leave the poor man alone so that he does not get reported to the king.

The king then sent him off with a proverb "Onye mechi' ōnu omeghara ōda'chi" (Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity).

The thief robbed the blind man who didn’t see him, he robbed the cripple who couldn’t chase after him.

If he had robbed the poor man, the poor man would have reported him to the king.

Moral: Keep what you know to yourself, and you will be safe; talk too much, and you are done for.

Soon life boats were made available but it was too limited,it couldn't carry all the children and Women and Men at a go,the head sailor then walks up to the captain.

    "Sire, the life boats are ready to go, should we load the Women and Children first?

No!,Men and Children first!. He fired.😏

    "Excuse me sire".he exclaimed in utter bewilderment.😳

"It is 2022 private,a Woman can handle a sinking ship just as well as a Man can and if you don't think so, you are misogynistic a**hole stuck in 2008!.

   "Yes sire,sorry sire!. With that he leaves to address everyone on board.

"ladies and gentlemen,for the time being,I am requiring Men and Children only"

Men starts cheering.

Women are seen vigorously Nagging and Cursing the captain.

Some start throwing things in anger. 

"This is 2022 Ladies,this is what y'all wanted,you all wanted to be treated equal to Men,well this is how Men are treated. He concluded and turns to leave.

"No!!!,we don't,we just say that half the time... Lol 🤣🤣💔.

Indeed Feminism overtime have been overflogged...so Women want to equate themselves to Men,hence advocates for Gender Equality (Feminism) but do not want to go through what Men goes through... Lol.

What's your take on these??
