O Mother!!!

Yes she wants to be in love, yes she wants to be happily married, yes she wants her career to flourish without prejudice.

Mothers it is wrong to pressure your girls to sell the cars they bought simply because you feel men won't marry young ladies who have cars.

Mothers kindly encourage your daughters to buy that house now that they can. This is great investment.

Mothers please advise your daughters to invest in that business. That investment is great gain and it will pay off later on.

O! please ma'am, encourage your daughters to becomes great. They are as good as the men for the post of a President, senator and governor. They must not be wives of top politicians, but politicians themselves.

No career is assigned to a particular gender, marriage is not the ultimate and should not be used to describe a woman's success in life.

Mothers teach your girls that it is okay for them to be assertive when it comes to marriage. Marriage can be a breaking point or a lifting point.

It is not just about producing children but giving birth to healthy and happy children. Happy children is as a result of happy parents who are in love with each other and respect each other's feelings.

Mothers please do not make your daughter's believe she should remain in an abusive relationship. Do not encourage their husbands into believing that the lives of your daughters is in their hands.

Mothers kindly help your daughters understand who they desire to be and what they should stand for. Our world will be a better place to live in if mothers coach their daughters in loving themselves rather than seeking approval to be loved.

The state of my state

So I have been thinking, if a child offends his father in the house, does the father in the bid to correct his child calls his neighbour to report the bad deed of the child and begs the neighbour to help him spank the child? This is what I know, as a mother, when my baby is wrong, I talk to her calmly, lovely, I tell her how angry I am and I hope she doesn’t repeat it again. Of course, my girl constantly wants my approval so she will promise not be do it again. Other times, she does something wrong and I do not wait to talk to her sweetly. I will give her “abara” (spank), yes I am an African in the sense that I understand that this is my girl’s formative years and there are things that must be driven thoroughly into her. My girl is just 2 years 6months but there are times I have had apologised to her for judging her wrongly and I have scolded myself for being tough on her, other times I think I love her so sweetly that am scared she may get spoilt but I am quick to tell mysel...

Guiding Territories

I understand that when a man cheats it is not always about the fact that his partner is doing something wrong. It is about the fact that it is in his nature to cheat, he has assumed society story that it is a man’s world and he is entitled to more than one woman. It is however amazing that women has so far helped to foster this narrative that most men are trained with the notion that they cannot be committed to a woman. In other to keep their men some women result to violence by tracing the women who has taken their men away and disfiguring their bodies.   Wives tend to pour their frustration on the women whom they think is taking their husbands away from them, forgetting that their husband is as guilty as the mistress. The society should frown at the man who disrespected his wedding vows and made mockery of his matrimonial home.  Everyone protects their territory. It is only a foolish person that sits; arms folded and allow the enemy takes his household into ...

The Condolence Visit.

So I went to pay a condolence visit to a friend who lost her Dad. It happened to be the three days prayers for the dead and there were so many people present. I couldn’t believe my eyes, the governor of the state, ministers of top ministries and agencies, ambassadors both present and former.  I know my friend’s family to be an average Nigerian when it comes to wealth. Her family do not have a large bank account like she makes me believe because her father was a pious and gentle man. He was a content person filled with wisdom; he believed in the ways of the Prophet and sent many almajiri children to school. Politicians would usually seek his consent and request his blessings. These politicians never come to his house empty. While they present gifts in kind and cash to him, he rejects most not without telling the politician how ill he has treated his people and disappointed the Almighty who gave him the opportunity to be there. My friend always complained of how her fat...
