Hello everyone, how are you doing today? The week is now in full gear and we are just going through it in the best spirits. I hope you all are enjoying it the same way that I am.
On this day, as you all probably know, today is a very special day because we are celebrating a very special set of people. The people who literally make the world go round and mean so much to us. On this momentous day, we are celebrating International Women’s Day.
This is a global holiday, observed throughout the world. After all, is there any part of the world where there is no woman? On this day, we get to celebrate their achievements both in historical, cultural, and political spheres.
Without women, the world would just be a boring and dry place to be. Women provide motivation to achieve goals, cross boundaries, take risks and be better versions of ourselves.
We have different women in our lives; they can be our mother, sister, girlfriend or wife. We can also have cousins, in-laws, and nieces. Then we have female friends, female mentors, and female colleagues at work, and the list can go on and on. We know just how important these people are to us, we know how far we are willing to go just to make them happy and put a smile on their faces.
Women have come a long way through the years, fighting bitterly for the freedom and equality many of them enjoy today. Sadly there was a time in the past when being a woman meant not having a voice. But with notable characters like Susan B. Anthony, a political activist and an advocate for women’s rights.
But that was just in America, in other countries all over the world; more and more women were learning to stand up for themselves. They were drawing strength, confidence, and inspiration from the strong women that were out there sweating and toiling for equal rights.
And today, it has all paid off.
Although there are still some sectors where there is still blatant show of inequality, like in politics and government offices (speaking mostly about my country Nigeria). We can only hope that as time goes on and the world keeps getting smaller and smaller, there will be marked improvements in these various sectors.
So, my dear friends, on this day, I know you have a woman you love very much. She could be your mother or sister; she could be your wife or girlfriend. Or they could just be your neighbor or colleague. It does not matter, I just need you to tell them they are strong and the world cannot do without them.
Women are God’s gift to man, and that is a gift I will personally be eternally grateful for.
