SPECIAL FEATURE: What's In The Strength Of a Woman?

Eighth March as tradition has it, is a special day globally demarcated squarely on a fairer sex that of a woman. And today just like any other dates of the previous commemorations of global international women's day is no different. The day is set a side to celebrate the economic, social and political achievements of women in society. This day particularly recognises and appreciates ordinary women struggling somewhere to make a mark in community on equal competitive nature of their male counterparts. We delight in this strength of a woman that has not only disappointed, but also went ahead to surpass the expectation.

Women have demonstrated their leadership not only by guiding a home into  a civilised haven, but also beaten her fellow male personality hands down. Her credibility both in public and private life can speak for itself. She has boldly fought the crevices of chauvinism, out right human abuses here and there and went outspoken about sickening humiliating violations that was thriving previously unchallenged in our society because of fear of victimisation. Many a male have tried to pull her down but her stubborn strength could not let go of the battle. She has stood the test of time in many war fronts and now she has emerged a top and created a milestone that gives us an underpinning and a well enough reason to celebrate our ordinary women in the community who defy all odds to be a voice to the voiceless and inspire a definition of dignity and sanity where it was little known.

Great acts of courage, determination and sometimes resilience has seen a woman bring a ray of hope to the face of the society. They have stood there for their children and barely provided for them when many men chose to sink their heads under the sand and literally abscond their responsibility for cheap pleasure perhaps in clandestine or liquor. While men can pursue vanities at the expense of their own families, little o0f the same can be talked of women. Majority of homes as we speak now are mostly administered by women who are running the state of affairs leaving an interesting question mark on what befell our men to give such a wide berth their role. We may not have the words or best descriptions to bestow upon the efforts of our women, but our respect and tribute is in order to them all who epitomised the struggles of an African woman and single handedly changed the society with their little resources, voice and energies. For sure empowering girls, is inspiring future a well crafted theme for the year.

P.S. We resume our normal professional tips on the thirdteenth day of March.Enjoy.
