Kiki Mordi, Others Call For The Boycott Of Wema Bank Over Their International Women’s Day Message
Wema Bank’s International Women’s Day message has got a lot of reaction on Twitter as many women have a problem with it.
In their first message sent to customers, they wrote, “…But we are the mothers raising patriarchal sons, the bosses who make it difficult for female subordinates, and the friend who don’t speak up when male friends do wrong.”
Many have complained about the last paragraph of their message and in reaction they made a tweet which seemed to irk people more.
…keep our voices high enough as we slay and let all know that the call for gender equality is a collective fight for us all.
Once again, happy international women's day.

So why are you funding the patriarchy?
Until we take decisive actions to stop putting our very limited resources into businesses that refuse to be gender sensitive, we will keep dancing around in circles.#BoycottWemaBank until they apologize to you. Your money is worth respect

Dear women, as a gift to yourself this International women's day, #BoycottWemaBank
Take money away from misogynists
You shouldn't be funding a brand that sends this sort of email completely disconnected from your reality
You shouldn't be funding this sort of privilege bubble https://t.co/HRJP5GlA4R

Do better? The one we're doing is not enough? Just CELEBRATE women for goodness sake. It's just for ONE DAY! Keep your admonishment and advice today. CELEBRATE. WOMEN. OR. STOP. TALKING.

This apology just has k leg. Women get killed at most and dragged every day on this app for speaking up but Wema thinks that it's fine to use it for cheap clout. Why is it even women's duty to change patriarchal thinking in this information age?

You guys are very stupid. Is that how you retract a stupid message by adding another one ? https://t.co/OefPpT2ruN
