Pius, My aburo. Gone much too soon, and just when he successfully drew me into this Twitter conversation that we never concluded. I’m at a loss for words. In lieu of trying to write something coherent, here's what you posted that made me talk and talk, thinking there'll be endless rejoinders and my responses. Alas! Not so. Pius Adesanmi ‏   @pius_adesanmi   Mar 5 "Married Woman Property Act of 1882!! And that is how colonialism caught up with Nigerian patriarchy in 2019! Cc: @adomakoampofo @mojubaolu @KadariaAhmed @lolashoneyin @Naijavote @kinnareads Divorce your wife, risk losing your building  NigerianTribune " My response: " Mojubaolu Okome ‏   @mojubaolu Replying to  @pius_adesanmi   @adomakoampofo  and 5 others Here’s a colonial law I love. Let freedom ring & roll like a veritable river to break the bonds of oppression! Also, just imagine that there’s been such a provision & women got the short end...
