In our society today, it is believed that a boy will eventually be the head of the family. Therefore, educating the girl child is not really compulsory and popular to that of the male child. To begin with, my little research on the world's most popular religions, which are Islam, Christianity and Judaism have the indispensable believe that God created everybody equally. As such, the girl child should be given the same opportunity as the boy. However, one can not really say that the societal role of a girl child is limited and could be compared to the male child in all ramification.

.
According to the African proverb, educating a male child is like educating a person while educating a girl is like educating a family and a whole nation, this implies that an investment in a girl's education is like investing in a nation. For observation, the statistical analysis of students that gain admission into university yearly in various institution shows that females are having the larger percentage. This, however, tells that their contribution in the society cannot be overemphasized when it comes to investment. Significantly, educating a girl child is like educating the mother of tomorrow who will bring up her own children and family in the best approach to withstand the challenges in the future. Women tend to be the first teachers in a child's life. They provide the tools for that child to be ready to be a participative and inquisitive member of society. Moreso, they provide the foundation for their children to fully live to their potential. Huh! A poser: Should female education be limited to teaching line alone?

An educated girl will always encourage her husband to respect societal values and contribute to the development of the Nation just like Her Excellency, Aishat Buhari has been so supportive to her husband, portraying her self in a way that distinguishes her as a woman, this, of course, is uncommon to the wife of the formal president 'Mrs Jonathan' her uneducated behavioural attitude displayed while in office as the first lady of the country may possibly have led to the failure of her husband and the lost of the presidential election. Evidently, an adage says, "behind every successful man there is a woman" this tells that a great man's success is determined by his wife effort and unrelenting support without which he might fail in planning and in decision making. Perhaps, we can say that a woman can not achieve this when her education is not given an utmost priority.

On a contrary, it is worthy to note that some communities and cultures still discriminate against the education of a girl child. This is very common among the Hausas and some other countries like Cameroon because they are considered as a "temporary property". They will have to move to their husband's home after marriage. So, it is not thought to be economically viable to spend on their education. In a country that about 80% lives on less than 1$ per day, it is very difficult for parents to afford quality education and a high standard of living. It may seem just like a wastage of resources to educate a girl child when it is known that at the ends, she will be a housewife. Isn't it obvious that educating a female child is a waste of resources? I ask, what is the essence of a female child that acquire good grade in the high institution and further turned to be a full housewife?

Consequently, educated mothers' do not have time to look after their child or children, no any parental care directly to them except through their maid or nanny. So, how do you expect such a child to be tolerant and well equipped with moral etiquette? Apart from the fact that a child finds it very difficult to share his or her day with (H) mother, he or she also lacks the care and feelings a mother should relate. They do not have the time to look after them as they get exhausted from work or because they are more occupied with their work. Take, for instance, the life of a banker or bank workers who hardly even have the time for his or herself let alone others. This act of negligence does not only impede the bright future of a child but also expose him or her to a negative lifestyle.

In 2018 people are still asking such questions?
What next, ‘did we do wrong by halting the killing of twins?’.

This assertion of yours is not totally correct. For example a teacher at primary or secondary school would have time for her child.Hence this point raised is null and avoid. Infact it is archaic to use such because the society as evolved from that archaic thinking.

Aishat Buhari has been so supportive to her husband, portraying her self in a way that distinguishes her as a woman, this, of course, is uncommon to the wife of the formal president 'Mrs Jonathan' her uneducated behavioural attitude displayed while in office as the first lady of the country may possibly have led to the failure of her husband and the lost of the presidential election.

It is absurd to insult the former first lady of Nigeria because she can't communicate effectively in English. Even the educated first ladies are part of the problem we have in this country.
