We should all be treated as humans will always be my response to anyone that seeks my opinion on equality among men and women. I think if we really redefine our focus and concentrate on what really matters, we will not be asking if women are to be treated well because by treating girls, women, sisters and mothers as humans that they are, we ultimately not only give them the respect and rights that are due them but also change the world for the better. You may be wondering where all this came from?! I won’t let you guess wrongly or give you a hard job of assumption. I recently read a book titled THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF GIRLS’ RIGHTS.  My heart bled after reading through some of the predicaments some girls have to go through JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE GIRLS. Although the awareness about the plight of some girls are growing strong, there’s still more to be done and we should all be in this campaign together. We can’t allow our girls feel like being a female is a curse or a...

It may not be the most appealing fairytale you ever read but it has created a lasting impression and a foundation of my professional life as a nurse. As with all events, it began on a day that was rather beautiful outwardly or to the eyes because I was fighting with a gloomy and disappointing thought of what to do with my life after not securing an admission to study Medicine in a reputable institution in Nigeria. I was so preoccupied with my thoughts that I didn’t hear what my mom had suggested to me. As usual she decided to repeat what she had said but now with a loud voice that was capable of waking someone up from a deep sleep. “You can apply to study nursing here in Rivers State” Without much thought, I accepted the offer and I concluded that I will do it for her(my mom) since I was bent on being the medical doctor I dreamt of from my teenage age. Fast forward to now, I’m glad I listened to her because I have found inner joy being a confidant, advocate, care provider and the ...

I love being a woman said a friend I’ve known since birth! I smiled as if I was affirming her thoughts only to realize that that friend was the same person :) I recently thought of how privileged I am to be a woman especially in this age where there seems to be strive about women trying to competing with the male figure. I had to ask myself how I cannot be bothered about trying to prove to my husband or any man that I am better than him. As always, I turned to my favourite book in the world -the Bible. The bible has countless treasures that satisfies and quenches every thirst for wisdom, guidance and instruction. In Proverbs chapter 31 from verse 10, the bible provides a detailed outline of how a virtuous woman acts, the qualities that make her virtuous and most importantly to me, a model that every contemporary Christian woman can and should emulate in order to fully live the life God has blessed her with. The various qualities I uncovered from the verses are:...

Travelling! Travelling!! Travelling!!! are the three options I will say time and again if you ask me what I will never get tired of doing apart from reading. Although, it is a way of exploring the world, becoming educated about different cultures and being a better person as an individual, you can also magically lose the thirst for adventure, joy of discovery and suddenly become homesick if you do not have your compass (physical and mental) to guide you. It can sometimes scary to be on your own in a foreign land irrespective of the reason for moving abroad. If you’ve had this pensive feeling, then you are absolutely not alone! I have been there. That is why I want to share with you some strategies that will brace you up for your new environment. Be determined to adapt: The most important strategy you need to have before embarking on your exploration or discovery into an entirely new world is an intentional determination to adapt . This may mean training your taste buds...
