Dear WOMAN: An Ode to Womanhood (by Ebenezer Akinrinade)

Dear Woman,

Your beauty, your radiance,

Your strength, your sweetness,

The totality of your being,

All that is embodied in your feminity

Speaks of GOD's infinite creativity.

You are more than you know.

You are perfect, you are whole.

Dear Woman,

You are the builder, the nurturer,

Daughter, sister, wife and mother.

Without you, there is no completeness.

You are a lover, carer, shaper and moulder.

Every fibre with which you are wired

Is a miracle — you are a wonder!

You carry yourself with grace,

Unshamed by failures and pains.

You trump mountains on your way

Wearing your scars like medals.

You are unbothered by naysayers

Their words makes you stronger.

Dear Woman,

There is healing in your touch

There is power in your words.

You are water.

You are fire.

IWD2020: I DONT BELIEVE IN GENDER EQUALITY

For as long as I can remember there has always been an advocation by women for gender equality and in recent times that voice has become louder and bolder. Why is this so crucial I inquired and understanding came to me.

THIS IS MY CONCLUSION on the matter of Gender Equality..

I honestly don't think there is a need for a battle for equality because men and women are created for different and specific fulfilments in this life. Now, unique and perfect in their creation I stand that asking for such equality is denying the very perfection in their differences. A man is built for his specific functions and so is a woman. Asking for equality is asking to ignore the uniqueness of both. I don't believe in gender equality. I believe in equal opportunities for male and female. Its not about gender.

Its about ability and capacity. A man can not be a woman and a woman can not be a man but both can coexist to make the world and humanity a better better place. Opportunity however should not be gender sensitive. If a woman has what it takes to be President, it is criminal to hold her back because of gender.

I love being a man, but this world is nothing without the strength, wisdom, gentleness, firmness, management, beauty and tenderness of a woman...

To celebrate this years International Women's Days themed Generation Equality... My theme and I decided to create something unique. Lets see if u can notice it...

IN THE FACE OF OPPORTUNITY AND DUTY EXECUTION THERE MUST BE NO GENDER. NO MALE, NO FEMALE, JUST HUMANS.
