Truthfully? I can
give you 10 reasons or I can give you 1. It all
stands the same if the depth behind the truth of it is clear. But I
will give you these 5 all the same.
The first reason is the 'Understanding of life'.
Only a woman, having the ability to house a living creature inside her body for
9 months would truly be able to give anything to make sure life is what it is
truly meant to be, she would be truly able to see everyone as her child.
My
second reason is 'Humility'.
Women are taught to be seen and not heard. We need someone whose concern is
more on achieving progress than on being the loudest voice in the meeting room.
The
third is 'Sacrifice' someone who is
willing to risk everything needed for the greater good and not be concerned of
only their own esteem and benefit.
The
fourth is 'Strength' some think it
takes strength to be a man. But no. It takes determination and power. Real
strength is needed to overcome the hurdles and limits if womanhood. Real
strength is different from just power.
The
fifth reason? This is the ultimate truth in the entirety of this writing. It is
'Change'. In a day and
age ruled by men, but gradually accepting women in places of authority - A
woman being in power in Nigeria can show that 'change' is possible, even in this Nigeria.
A woman can inspire that ‘new thinking’ and ‘new chances’ are possible. A woman
can show that ‘impossibilities’ are not truly
so - That even here in Nigeria too.... dreams can come true.
