Sometimes, I wonder why people take unnecessary swipes at the wives of public office holders but then, I always remind myself that some of these 'first ladies' can really be a seed-in-the-eye. This fact, is also corroborated by Mrs. Bisi Fayemi, the wife of governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State in an article she wrote.


"I have often spoken and written about the fluidity of identities, and how important it is for us to invest in managing our various transitions from one identity to another, whether these identities are claimed by us or thrust upon us. From being a women’s rights activist, gender specialist and social change philanthropy advocate, on October 16th 2010, I became the Wife of a Governor. My own understanding of what happened to me did not translate into abandoning all the things that are important to me – my world view, values, affiliations and principles. I was aware that to make this work, I would need to strike a balance between the things I truly care about, and the expectations of the position I found myself in. I also knew that I would have to work hard at ensuring that my theoretical understanding of power and transformational leadership would be matched by sound, ethical practices."


You have to continue from http://amakaikenga..com/2012/02/article-of-day-bis-fayemi-wife-of-ekiti.html to read her article to understand what she is being accused of and how she brilliantly reponded to her critics. Ah! I think I like her already.

I don't open blogs, especially those directed via foruns to gain traffic, but your creativity in putting that suspense-inducing quote, defeated my principle. I opened the blog and read the article.


One First Lady with small brain and an air of intellectualism at last.

Njare shes not Ekiti enough sef,seen her interview on TV,she was so English  not bad for a British born though.She appears very smart but she definitely will be meddling because feminists are meddlers

No she's absolutely smart and on a relative scale with our regular 'firstlady' she's super smart

@Jarus
She's a product of Great Ife. It runs in the blood.

No wonder. Only Great Ife breeds these minds.

Now its about the school, abi? Jarus, I've watched this woman's overbearing personality and I make bold to say even her husband the gov have little control over her activities. She is not able to distinguish her person as the gov's wife with her role as a woman activist, interchanging personae as suits the purpose, almost making the deputy gov redundant.

She needs to cool down or moderate her media presence.

@Jarus, that's so cool of you, I'm glad I made you go against your usual self. Thanks. Will visit your blog right away.
