Yes, I know her story. I knew her when she got married because our neighbourhood was also invited. So what are you thinking now? Forget it! the ‘male’ wasn’t rich. He was just a normal guy. like you don’t know a tiny percent of the Africa woman marries the rich.
Anyway, happy is she if the normal guy is responsible and cares enough to give her peace of mind, otherwise, woe unto her! She may have to be constantly reminded of how she is unsubmissive, unsupporting, unromantic, dirty, untidy, lazy, ugly, and unable to train up her children, if the seed drop inside her makes a foetus, woe betide her if it doesn’t.
Yes, I know her story. I use to see her in the market place, under the hot scorching Africa sun and sometimes under the rain. Why won’t she? when she has children and even a husband to cater for. Isn’t she privileged to have all that?
And just the other day when she didn’t feel so privileged like that, and burst out on her husband with the one weapon they say she has (her mouth), after a generous beating by the ‘male’ who they say has a stronger weapon (his fist), wasn’t she still made by the ‘elders’ to kneel and beg him because that’s what a submissive wife should do?
and you think I don’t know why that woman made those statement as she walked down my street. Smiles.
I do surely know her story. Although I may not be able to tell the many plight she faces when she is 60, 70, 80, and 90. But I could belt they aren’t in any way that rosy, especially if she has one or two broken teeth. God help her soul.
Now, Remember that the Africa woman is everywhere. Even in the yellow man’s land. she has become a stereotype. The Africa woman is the stereotype of these plight in every living and struggling woman.
PLIGHT OF THE AFRICA WOMAN!

Stronger than she can ever imagine, I call her ADIRA (Strong), she isn’t hindered by the foul words of that male called Husband, she’s under the scorching sun, drenched by the rain so her children can eat, she Encourages her children to study so they can have a better life.

I Know her she loves her mum and believes the only way she can help is to focus on her studies and get a better life for mum and her siblings
I saw her when she applied for jamb lucky for her she got admitted, she’s in the university, her mama doesn’t cry too much anymore she just prays daily for her .
I know her, I see her she’s in a profession dominated by men and it’s almost like everyday she has to prove to them and herself than she can do the job

I see her She’s 30 successful and independent but no ring on the finger and she’s wondering were all these Necessary
Yes they were , and even if her world refuses to accept her
She has decided to no longer live by the rules
