Personally, I believe intelligence is not to be taken as a general term. This is because one can be intelligent in one aspect of life and be foolish in another. Say out your thoughts as you read this shot story.
MEN ARE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN WOMEN! (The African Mentality written by Pharm Pat Ima) Totally worth reading
Wow! What a debate! I'm very sure just a glance at the topic people are getting ready for a hot seat debate,lol!
Just yesterday I visited Joyce Edem my friend and she asked me this puzzling question; she said "Twinny is it wrong for a woman to be more intelligent than a man? Hmmm I responded, Why did you ask? She said she was talking innocently with a guy when the guy interrupted and said, Joyce learn how not to show your intelligence all the time because in the world that we live in Men are supposed to be more intelligent than the Women and not the other way round! I wished he stopped there, Oh No! He went ahead and added! IF YOU EVER WANT TO GET MARRIED AS A LADY YOU BETTER STOP DISPLAYING YOUR INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY ON EVERY TOPIC!
Brethrensss Praise the Lord! We can now share the grace! The debate has been won,lol
For about 5 minutes I couldn't respond to what I just heard! What baffled me more was the mentality of a young active man in the 21st century! Chai! I exclaimed "YOU MEAN WE ARE STILL SUFFERING FROM THE DISEASE OF MEN ARE BETTER THAN WOMEN" Wow! What a food for thought!
Now in the history of Pharmacy University of Uyo, the first ever to make a first class was a female (Pharm. Grace Aloysius ), now I did not say best graduating student, I said first class! (Those in Pharmacy understands what I mean! It ain't easy dear with all the pressure of 15 courses per semester plus the 50/60 cutoff pass mark, plus reseat,lol) Thank God history was made in my set so that I could witness the beauty of God's creation! Also in addition the highest number of best graduating students has been females! But it's totally not a big deal!
I have also witnessed a guy who emerged the best graduating student with a difference of just 0.01! In fact that day it was a real tussle of who should be awarded the BGS! Also it's not a big deal!
Intelligence is simply relative because it's the capacity of your mind to acquire knowledge, understand it, and correctly apply it! Hahaha light (illumination) just entered the building! This means that if I have relevant knowledge that are accurately applied I would be rated to be intelligent and vis-visa!
If we decide to cripple a gender on the grounds of much intelligence! Wow it only means you're not liberated and the colonial masters did wrong for setting us free!
If you feel threatened by anyone's intelligence, celebrate the person, celebrate Africa, and go learn more yourself! Because Africa need more enlightened people working together as a force to break the yoke of mediocrity and embrace it's full potentials.
Ladies and Gentlemen Today's Topic is only a Fallacy (Meaning it looks factual but it's not true)!
I have seen so called intelligent men and women making mistakes that can't be made by those viewed as unintelligent people.
How should we rate intelligence? Is it smartness or knowing how to do things or passing exams? Your thoughts are welcome.
