✍� Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow. ��

While the world strives to make gender equality a reality; Nigeria took 20 steps backwards against the cause by rejecting the bill that makes government inclusive for women.


Across the world; Women are essential to leading and driving change, yet; These change agents are treated as second fiddles when and where it really matters.


For centuries, the world has tried to subjugate the "Woman". However, like the Phoenix; she rises from the ashes. Stronger, beautiful and more zealous to protect and defend her cause.
.
.
.
.
International Women's Day is celebrated to focus on gender equality and spread the message especially to the Nigerian government; That without the inclusion of half of the globe's population, no vision can ever be actualized. ✊�


Women are a force to be reckoned with and the sooner they realised that, the better for the world.


Take the home front as a case study; What home can function optimally without the presence of the " Woman"?
.
.
.
.

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.


A world that's diverse and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.


Together we can create a globe that is gender bias free.✊�


Collectively, we can all take action for equality.

When I was a child, all I wanted was to play from morning till night, but my parents said I should read books first .



And now, reading is my hobby. What about you?


What goes through your mind when you see people write reading as their hobby? Me I'll be like “are you sure?”



While growing up, every household then had the "read your book �" anthem . You cannot even say you are bored; Mummy will point out your books.


Reading was even a form of punishment in some homes. You go read and summarize to learn lessons of laive �. But we still learned a lot from reading.



Reading looks like a chore in recent times, and we want to move fast; other important things steal our attention.


Several people can't boast of reading a book in a year, and most younger folks can't even understand why they should read.


Reading is not a chore; as parents, it's always best to introduce the children to books no matter the age.


Every child should own a book and cultivate the habit of reading for pleasure.


Reading for pleasure is the single most significant indicator of a child's success, more than their family circumstance, parents' educational background, or income.


As we celebrate World Book Day this year with the theme "You are a Reader '', every parent should encourage their children to engage with literature. Disadvantaged children who love to read for pleasure should be encouraged within our communities, and you can offer them this opportunity.



Dear Mamma, where is our reading culture?

Have we successfully passed it down to our children? At what age did you start reading to your children? We read every day at home even if it's a Bible.

Do you love reading? What genres are your absolute best? Mine has got to be suspense with a little doze of thriller.

✍�You want to eventually boot out rivalry among your kids? �

Then, you've got to be proactive when it comes to controlling the narrative between them.
.
.
.

Sibling rivalry is as old as time; so if you've been entertaining thoughts that it's only peculiar to your kids, please perish the thought already

It's quite common for kids to be great friends with each other and the next minute, be each others worst nightmare.
.
.
.
.

As Moms, you'd expect for us to be completely indifferent to their squabbles, given how we are almost always caught in the middle.

On the contrary, it never gets easier. I'll have you know; it's one of the leading causes of anxiety in Moms.



While it can be frustrating getting your kids to get along; Fortunately, it is possible.



☘️Do you care to know how? I've got you.

✍�Would you believe it if I told you; all couples argue?

Oh Yes! Every couple you ever met has had their bouts of argument. And yes, it is entirely natural.


With that in mind, stop wondering what is wrong with your relationship because arguing comes within the terrain of a relationship.
.
.
.
.
Couples argue for a host of reasons; however, if you find yourselves arguing at just about everything and every day; then it's safe to say something is wrong.


When couples avoid arguments in their entirety, they miss opportunities to improve their relationship.

Nevertheless, arguments should be constructive to be productive.

Which Mom has never asked herself this question?

I'll tell you this for free; No, Mom! Yes, you heard right! Every woman who became a mom asked themselves and even their doctors that question.

In the weeks following delivery, we place unnecessary pressure on our bodies to hit a specific goal. We are bombarded with suggestions on how to lose the "Preggy weight" or get our bodies back.

Nobody should experience discrimination, yet, sadly, it happens.

It happens in many forms and different places. And for most people, it is an everyday reality��


Discrimination is damaging, whether or not you've been the target of bias. It is also stressful being a group member that is facing discrimination.


Sometimes, the thought of being discriminated against even limits people from living an entire productive life. Hence the call for a #Zero discriminatory act

Dear Mamma,

Just like life, this starts with us; How do you treat people around you?

Best believe your kids are watching. They'll watch because they look up to you; you're the mirror through which they see themselves.



If we hope for a better future, then we need to model what the future should look like.


Discrimination is not just the words we speak; it is our deeds and actions.


Today, we take up the call to end #discrimination!

Today, more than ever before, we say YES to #Zerodiscrimination.


Dear Mamma,

From our little corners of the world, how do you think we can end discrimination?

Ah!!! Mamma, calm down. Don't be in a hurry.


Several preggy mums, especially first-time mums, can loose the essentials the baby would need.


Most times, it's out of excitement, and some other times they are not sure and want to make sure they don't miss anything out.



But what happens most of the time is some things don't get used, or the babies outgrow them soon enough.




I've got you, Mamma; you don't have to go through the hassle.

✍�Did you know the relationship with your kids is largely dependent on your ability to manage stress?


Let's face it; Motherhood is the embodiment of stress. While the office brings with it the best perks you can envisage, it also presents a fair share of work and frustration.



Juggling motherhood along the other duties you may have can be very challenging, however, the onus still rests on us to be able to manage our stress levels.


The good news; The joyful perks of motherhood can help you deal with the parts that are more stress than fun.


Dear Mamma,

Stress comes with the "Mummy" territory, but it has to be managed to function optimally.

Imagine talking to your kids in your stressed out form and tone� It's not a good sight and we often regret our outburst, because it finally registers that these kids are just innocent bystanders.

✍�We've heard about how important it is that parents instill good values in their children.



The truth is that if, as parents, we don’t accept this responsibility, then society would fill the void, but of course, you know that most times, society does not support healthy morals and ethics for our families. Yes, someone has got to say this. Do your want to argue? Take a walk around Social Media, then come back and let’s have a debate.


The home is the first and the most important school a child would ever attend. Therefore, we must take the onus of preparing our children for the future very seriously!

Dear Mamma,

Before the world gets a chance to influence your kid, let it be on record that you utilized your opportunity as much as you could.

✍� Did you know a kid with healthy self-confidence is bound to handle whatever life throws their way?


Right after birth, children begin to learn and manifest skills at a dizzying level. Alongside these skills, there's also a need for confidence to execute.


As Children age, the confidence they acquire is almost as Paramount as whatever skill they develop.

To thrive, children have to trust in their ability to take on anything in stride and be aware that failure is also a part of the process and creates an avenue to rebound.


As a parent, it's one of our core duties to help instill confidence in our children. To let them know, it is entirely normal to feel negative about yourself from time to time.

However, if this feeling is long-lasting, then you have work to do......

✍�Giving is living, am I right or right?


Did you know that the most significant way to show love is to give?

Doubt that? Look up John 3:16.


As parents, we want our children to grow into kind, compassionate people. We also want them to be grateful for all they've been given and have a heart for those in need.


However, Generosity doesn't come naturally, especially with children. As with other habits; giving is cultivated.


Giving doesn’t require that you travel to a unique destination. Showing your child how to give can be as easy as being a good neighbor.�

I think this is for mamas, not for gentlemen like us.

Oh really? I didn't realize that. Can you please let me know what would happen to the child if by any stroke of luck the mother doesn't make it from the delivery room? And the father hasn't got his mom or sisters close by?
If you ask me, I think that there are some basics that both the father and mother need to be able to handle when it comes to a child.

Children and babies should be able to bond with both parents at each milestone.

But hey, I respect your opinion.

✍�Remember how you get butterflies in your stomach when you talk to your Significant Other? How wild your thought runs when you’re away from them?


Many relationships go through difficult times, but some things can hurt your relationship and turn it into a passionless relationship.

But I guess the Million dollar question is; Where has the spark gone?�
.
.
.
Long-term relationships, especially when you're married, can bring an element of stability, Intimacy, and Connection to one's life.


Along the way, however, life can seem to complicate maintaining and renewing that spark, from raising children to significant changes at work.



However, You can have the best of both worlds—the passion of new love and the benefits of a long-term relationship.



You have to come to terms that the butterflies have flown away, then work around getting them to fly back in!

And No, you don't need magic to get your "Magic" back. You need to go back to the beginning.

The struggles of being a Stay at Home Mum cannot be over-emphasized.

✍� Did you know one of the easiest things to loose when you become a mom is "YOU?

After all, motherhood is around the clock, a never-ending list of demands.


Motherhood changes you; You don't know when it exactly happens, but almost every mom feels a loss of relevance at some point in her journey through motherhood. Suddenly, she realizes that things are different. She is different.


Suddenly, your life is hundreds of miles away from what it used to be. You begin to lose a sense of who you are because your life presently revolves around your kids and their needs and has little to do with you and what you might need.


This sounds far-fetched, but this is the reality for most mothers, especially for those who take it upon themselves to be " The Perfect Mom."
.
.
.
.
.
Being a mother will always be part of who you are, but it doesn't necessarily define you completely. You are so much more than the role you play in your home. It just takes some time to figure out who that person is.


Do you want to be the " Perfect Mom "? Then you've got to figure out who you are and give Her as much attention as you give others. Only then will your relevance radiate and perfection shine through!



After all, if you're not at your best, you cannot give your best. Think about it!

✍�It's the International day Of Girls and Women in science, and the importance of inclusiveness cannot be overemphasized.


For years, science has been a male-dominated profession.


According to statistics, women make up only 30 percent of researchers globally, and they are awarded less research funding than men and are less likely to be promoted.


It is high time the world recognizes women’s contributions in research and innovation, smash stereotypes and defeat discrimination against women and girls in science.


It's high time the world acknowledges and celebrates those leading action and innovation around the world. Women like JANE GOODALL, CHRISTIANE NUSSLEIN-VOLHARD and a whole lot of others.


Let us break the barricade that excludes women from participating fully in Science. And make science inclusive for all, irrespective of gender.

Motherhood is a journey made easy when we have the right people in our circle.

If you’re a man and you come across this post, help me and tag your partner and run away

✍� Relationship and Communication go hand in hand. Am I right, or am I right?


The Holy book says, “Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it.............”

You know, this could also translate to; Guard your relationship.


So before marriage, there was (Is) a relationship. Before you became a parent, you were lovers.


Marriage and especially parenting can lead to marriage problems you may not have expected. I think this a common experience; You had a wonderfully romantic relationship—then you add kids to the mix, and everything's a little more stressful, with a touch of less romantic, and less gratifying.



Adding children to the mix brings couples closer together, but not always in the ways you might expect.

The Hard Truth is there will always be a decrease in relationship satisfaction between couples following the birth of a child.

This is true because of the intensive caretaking required and the fact that any alone time that occurs has to be spent on "self."

So couples naturally find themselves with less time to spend together. They usually have less energy to devote to one another when they see the time.


In the long run, this takes a toll on the attachment they share. And the thought of divorce comes in.
.
.
.
.
Sadly this is the reality for most marriages.

But the good news is, realities are chosen.


You can choose what rings true for you and your spouse until those babies leave the mix.



Hey Mamma!

�Are you struggling to keep the connection between you and your yang alive?

Then I've got something for you....

I hope this helps you, Mamma!

And we'd like to hear from you in the comment section.

Be objective while waiting for those tenants who don't pay rent to move out.



Love, Laugh, Learn, Lead and Live Life to the fullest.

✍�Did you know thousands of girls and women have died from the barbaric act of Female Gender Mutilation?


According to statistics, over 200 million girls/ women alive today were subjected to FGM
And over 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing the practice every year.


Sadly, to think that this ancient practice is extinct or nearly extinct. In reality, this practice of FGM is only but increasing.
.
.
.
.
.
You may be wondering, what is Female Gender Mutilation?


This is essentially the practice of partially or entirely removing the external female Instruments and includes any other harm or injury caused to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.

How Horrible!


This is an act that we should abolish the world over. Most especially in some parts of Africa, predominantly Senegal, where it is seen as a vital rite of passage into womanhood, not regarding the negative physical, psychological and social impact this act leaves in its wake.


In Nigeria, 20 million women are mutilated.

In essence, women in Nigeria make up 10% of the global total.


According to UNICEF, over $2 billion is needed to fund the end of FGM.


While we may not be directly involved in this process, we can use our voice to reiterate that women have right over their bodies; therefore, neither culture nor tradition, nor even religion, should have the power to dictate what happens to the body of a woman.


While investments to end this practice are accelerating.........

Let us in our little corners of the world, speak against this evil against girls and women known as Female Gender mutilation.



Dear Mamma!

What do you think of FGM? Are you a victim? Do you know anywhere they still practice this vile tradition?



Love, Laugh, Learn, Lead and Live Life to the fullest.

✍� Cancer! The menace that has taken millions of loved ones from their families and many others have fought bravely and prevailed!.


Cancer continues to be one of the worlds leading causes of death, despite the years of research. This is not to connote that the years spent in research have been futile as I still believe that this menace will soon be eradicated forever.




According to the WHO, 30% - 50% of cancers can be prevented by avoiding risk factors and implementing existing evidence-based prevention strategies, and one of these measures includes vaccination against the HPV Virus.
.
.
.
.
.
World Cancer Day is observed annually on February 4 to raise awareness about non-communicable disease, the second leading cause of death globally.


The year's THEME is "Close The Care Gap."

Let us, therefore, nudge on the government to bridge the inequalities and inequities between the High, Low-income countries with cancer patients.



Comprehensive treatment is reportedly available in more than 90% of high-income countries but less than 15% of low-income countries.


Let us also strive to see that the level of care accorded to Adult cancer patients is also accorded to the "CHILD" cancer patient.

Cancer is preventable and curable, however, not without awareness, resources, and expertise.


Please include regular yearly smear tests and mammograms as prevention is usually the best option. Early detection is key to surviving this.


Together we can beat cancer hands down.


Love, Laugh, Learn, Lead and Live Life to the fullest!

✍� Just how hard is it for people not to meddle in people's business?


As an introvert, I love my space, like I practically covet it.

Well, not covet, especially when it's mine. But you catch my drift, yea?



Since becoming a mom, one of the precious things I lost or didn't have enough of is "Me space."

I get pulled towards different angles at the same time.

Right angle
Obtuse angle
Straight angle
Reflex angle


Just name it! I barely even have an Acute complete angle to myself
.
.
.
.
.
Space is a big deal for almost everybody, physical space, mental space, Money space.


You're giving me that look because you don't like money abi?

Nosey and noisy neighbors are a thorn! someone had to say that.


You don't know what God has done for you if you haven't had to deal with any.


Anyways, as a mom, you need to draw boundaries when it comes to neighbors, especially the nosey ones.

You already give so much; you shouldn't have to give yourself when you don't have to.


So here are some effective ways on dealing with Noisy neighbors:

✍� I've never met a mamma who doesn't need a village! Have you?




It's common knowledge that Motherhood changes us.


Sadly, if you have to look for who to share your joys and pain, and fears with, it meant you weren't great at maintaining your friendships and creating yourself a mummy circle.



Being a mom is hard! It is Lonely and draining.

It is more complex than trying to eat and breastfeed simultaneously.


The toddler years are the hardest because you're barely holding on to the strings of parenting, much less making new friends.

But it would help if you had a village!


Yea!

Your babies might be your whole world right now! You spend 99.9% of your time with them.


You'll need a village!


Oh OK! You're a shy person, you say!

You're super comfortable being alone!
.
.
.
Well, an old birdie once said...

The older your kid gets, the more they begin to drive you crazy, and you'll desperately need to get out!


So why not get creative with hanging out with moms in the same stage of life as you?


Every Mamma needs a circle, a village of like-minded women.

Those babies in your world now will grow up and leave home.

When that inevitably happens, who would be there in your corner?


Every mamma needs a friendship!

Every mamma deserves a village!

And like we always say in #AMAM

Motherhood is a journey made easy with the right people in your corner!
.
.
.
.
So because it's #FriendshipFriday

Appreciate that mamma, who's always in your corner and who you'll like to reconnect with.




Love, Laugh, Learn, Lead and Live Life to the fullest.



Stay Fabulous�
