The woman!

WOMAN. . . . . . . . .       
                                                                          
When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.......
An angel came by and asked." Why spend so much time on her ?".
.                                         
The lord answered. " Have you seen all the  specifications I have to meet to shape her?"..... 
" She must be washable but not made of plastic,   ..
have more than 200 moving parts which must be replaceable 
she must function on all kinds of foods,  ...
she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,
give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart ,
she must do all this with only two hands,.."
She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day".... ...                                                                                                  
THE ANGEL was impressed. .." Just two hands.....impossible !" ..
And this is the standard model ? ! ...."
The Angel came closer and touched the woman"......  ..
." But you have made her so soft, Lord".....
." She is soft", said the Lord,
" But I have made her strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome "...
."Can she think?" The Angel asked...
The Lord answered. " Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate" ...

.
The Angel touched her cheeks.....
" Lord, it seems this creation is leaking !  You have put too many burdens on her. " ...
."She is not leaking...it is a tear" The Lord corrected the Angel...
" What's it for?" Asked the Angel..... .
.
The Lord said. " Tears are her way of expressing
her grief,
her doubts,
her love,
her loneliness,
her suffering and
her pride."...
THIS made a big impression on the Angel,
" Lord, you are genius.
You thought of everything.
A  woman is indeed marvellous !".... ...
.
Lord said." Indeed she is.
She has strength that amazes a man.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying,
cries when happy and
laughs when afraid.
She fights for what she believes in.
Her love is unconditional.
Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies
but she finds strength to get on with life." ..
The Angel asked : So she is a perfect ?
The lord replied : No. She has just one drawback
" She often forgets what she is worth".

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with  full-time jobs  still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

Domestic Voilence in Nigeria heightens in the face of economic hardship-majority of victims are women!

A recent Public Opinion poll conducted by NOIPolls Limited in partnership with Project Alert on domestic violence has revealed an increasing prevalence of domestic violence across Nigeria in recent times as reported by about 8 in 10 (78 percent) respondents. This prevalence is highest in the South-West geo-political zone (86 percent) and lowest in the South-South zone (70 percent). More findings revealed that 54 percent of Nigerians have suffered a form of domestic violence or know someone that has experienced domestic violence in their homes with majority of the victims being women as stated by 75 percent of respondents. Just this week, a man in Aba Abia state allegedly beat his wife into coma for lying to him that she has not been paid her salary after commissioner for finance Obinna Oriaku mis-informed the Abia public on radio that civil servants salary arrears have been paid.
