When people think about a woman, the first thing that comes to mind is that they are difficult to understand, complex, and fragile. To you, what do you think?
A mother is a precious jewel to her children and family; a mother is not just one who takes care of the family, but rather she’s a helpmate, companion, and blessing to generations. She is one with a compassionate heart and would not want to see things go wrong for things that have been entrusted to her responsibility. Yes, she is a treasure, well-blessed to have saved the lives that have been entrusted to her care. She’s one who will not eat or sleep till her offspring are fine. Of course, she’s not just a woman but a watchman, because she ensures the safety of her family; her love cannot be underestimated. What then happens when they are misunderstood?
One may ask me, “Do you wish to be a woman in your next life?” Of course, yes! That will be my reply.
Yes, a woman is fiercest and courageous. I would love to use my mum as an example. As I will always say a role of a mother is inevitable, it doesn’t matter who plays the role, be it one’s biological mum or not and to everyone out there that never got the love of a mother I want you to know you always have someone who is always more than a mother in our lives, which is “GOD” because there are still some people that have mother that seem to be their worst nightmare because “rather than being a mother, they murder their dreams and great destiny”. I will say again, anyone can play the role of a mother in one’s life.\
As I continue with my mum as the perfect example of why I will always want to be a woman again and again. Sigh, my mum really made me understand what it means to be a female, a woman, and a mother. Not all females are women, and not all women are mothers. Well, it may look like I'm flattering her, but then she’s a part of my love that must always be recognized.
In the life of a motherhood it takes a lot, like a lot, from caring for the husband to caring for kids, I remember back then my mu will always ensure we are all fine before she does for herself and most times, am like this woman please do for yourself first and leave us to sort ourselves out but she will say if she doesn’t God is going to question her, and she just knows how to balance work, the family and her relationship with God making sure none interrupt any. And that lifestyle has taught me so much how that am become a bold and confident woman on my own, my mum will always say, after all this and you become wayward its because you refuse to learn, but she will always do her part.

Although looking at my mum was like she had a good mother for her to have so much heart and character, I learnt later that my mum grew up without a mum, not even close family but she knew she had God, and also had the grace to mother herself by exhibiting the right habit at every point of her life. And I appreciate that she did a good job by being a mother to herself. So do not feel inferior if you currently don’t have a mum because there a one thousand and one things you will and can still achieve it you mother yourself right and exhibit the best lifestyle you want also not forgetting that you have one who is always there to double as your mother and even your father, and this person is “GOD” the best parent anyone can ever have.
In conclusion, mothers are gold, as the Yoruba will say, “IYA NI WURA”, and to every mother out there, may you continually be a blessing to your family, community, and generation, we love you, and we see your resilient effort. God bless you all. Reminder, you can be the mother to yourself.
