HIVEOPENMIC#132~~SIMI -WOMAN (COVER)

Hi, This is Hive Open Mic week 132.
My name is Rukkie and am sending a special thanks to @discouragedones for choosing this beautiful theme : Woman , Life , Freedom.
This is a theme that is very close to my heart because in an African Country especially Nigeria, "The Female" gender goes through a lot of intimidation, stigmatization and so on.
In most Nigerian homes, if a woman does not have a male child, it becomes a problem for her and her female children. She would cry and keep praying to God for a male child, that is why you see a woman having up to 10 children and so on all because she wants a male child. Without a male child, most women don't have a say in their husbands house.
If a woman doesn't have a husband she is deemed proud or she doesn't have what it takes to hold the attention of a man.
If a woman is rich, she is tagged a "prostitute" (Ashewo in Yoruba language) because the belief is that a woman cannot have money on her own.
If a woman is independent, she is too arrogant and proud. If a woman is single, it becomes a problem for her that is why some women gives into pressure and allow herself to be taken by a married man not minding being the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc wife so as to remove the "single" tag.
A single mother faces discrimination because she is not submissive, that is why her husband left her .
Some women stay with abusive husbands ( Osinachi ,Singer of Ekwueme ) God rest her soul would still be alive if she won't be discriminated upon as a "divorcee".
If I continue to mention all a woman goes through, I won't finish this video today. So on this note I would be singing a song by one of our Nigerian artist, her name is Simi and the title of the song is Woman. The lyrics to the song is given below ;

Woman don suffer oh
Lowo everybody
Suffer suffer for world (amen)
Enjoy for heaven
Man no like woman
Woman no like woman
She no be like water (water, e no get enemy)
If woman never marry oh (then she no be woman)
If woman never carry omo (she no be woman)
If she no get man for side oh
Dem go dey push woman aside oh
And eventually oh
Dem go suffer suffer woman (dem go suffer suffer woman)
I never talk finish
I never talk finish
I never talk (woman, woman, woman, nobody be like woman)
I never talk finish
I never talk finish
I never talk (woman, woman, woman, nobody be like woman)
Na so so submission oh
Shey we get assignment?
Suffer suffer for world (amen)
Enjoy for heaven
But, you no pay attention oh
To the intimidation she dey face
No be like water (water, e no get enemy)
If woman get confidence oh (then she no be woman)
Woman get money, won "l'asewo ni" (she no be woman)
If she no get man for side oh
Dem go dey push woman aside oh
And eventually oh
Dem go suffer suffer woman
I never talk finish
I never talk finish
I never talk (woman, woman, woman, nobody be like woman)
I never talk finish
I never talk finish
I never talk (woman, woman, woman, nobody be like woman).
