Women are wailing, children crying, men helpless. We hear ta ta ta... another death, boom! Another blast.What can we do? Our brothers, armed against us with ammunitions, holding our sisters captive, corruption threatening our country, insecurity surrounding us, poverty leaking into homes, drug abuse possessing our youths, prostituition overpowering our girls.
Now the flag of Nigeria wispers a message of hope, female presidency gives us hope, hope for change, change for a better future, future for we the children, children leaders of tomorrow. Why not give her a chance? An oppurtunity to show the strength and power she possesses, the wisdom she has for I hear her shouting, "Nigeria must move forward".
She has seen and heard how other leaders have ruled, seen and heard the decisions they made whether it yielded good results or bad results, sticking into her brain so she knew how to avoid other costly mistakes.
Oh brothers and sisters take a look and do some thinking, is Nigeria not ripe for female presidency? Give it a thought.
