When the Buck starts and Stop with Her.

Today we speak of the girl child and women empowerment both in Africa and world over as if we are programmed to do so just like machines. It has become the song in every leaders mouth both in the social, political, economic and cultural positions. Am not writing to criticize this initiative because i also had my umbilical cord attached to this wonderful and beautiful creature called a woman. The irony in it is a major topic of question as the same woman has made herself be subjected to doing things that wears down their image, moral and worth in the modern society. It is not the question of who advocates for the right of a girl child most or loudest but how they are working towards making sure that their rights and dignity is held by those who surround them. why should men sit down and wait until the dignity of their mother, daughter or sister is comprised to act in the name of fighting on their behalf?
As much as men want to play the role of empowering women, it is the responsibility of every female to stand firm and champion for their rights and make difficult choices to redeem themselves starting from the household level. We learn every day that a woman is a complex being with ability to multitask and high power of synthesising information critically before finally doing something about it. I say it is high time an African woman stopped letting men think and act for them...go for what you want to be given, start what you want to be started for, make opportunities instead of waiting to complain of lack of such, it is time you made men realise how special and dedicated you are to stop being made an object for making deals, completing missions and giving out your bodies for economic reasons.
Without women in leadership positions like in the government institutions like legislative assemblies, there wont be regulations to protect this fragile gender. There wont be many point-ladies to be made role models for the girl child who rises among discouraging men. stand up for yourself first before a man like me take his time to remind you of what is best for you. Look out for my upcoming articles and share to spread the word to that girl child who cannot reach my blog. sage2088otienowordpress.wordpess.com
