THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE RE BRANDING
To ensure that the quest for a total overhauling of the nation’s polity and life style is not a whole nightmare, the place of women as one of the three cardinal managers of the home (the micro society) should not be overlooked. Looking at the role of women in the home (management), one can at the same time extend this God-given gift and ability of theirs to as well the larger society. It is pertinent to know that women are gifted with the ability of controlling both their husbands and their children. Women direct and redirect the functions and styles of performance of their wards in the family. They also have the innate ability to lure their husbands into action when they feel so reluctant over certain beneficial issues in the family. They have the capability to use their sweet persuasive lips to convince their husbands and wards to follow certain paths to action. Using these attributes, they can help in achieving the goals of the re branding
They have the necessary potentials needed for this fight. They are powerful when it comes to execution of plans. These set of people (the women) excel whenever they are entrusted with responsibilities. Thank God that the initiator of the project is also a woman, Professor Dora Akunyili. That tells us the extent they can reach if given the opportunity to manage issues. The fight for gender equality in the world today should be for and by everyone.
Mothers are encouraged to play their roles in the family by inculcating in their wards those good moral teachings that will help the family inparticular and our society in general. They should not relent in doing this because their absence in the society today will be greatly felt. The society cannot do without them. Our possibility of achieving this project rebranding Nigeria, depends on them. They have been tested and trusted and found fit to handle critical issues such as this project. It is even suggestible that all the sectors of our economy be entrusted in their hands to manage. It will be to our utmost surprise seeing them handling these sectors better than expected.Apart from their positive financial contributions to the growth of the family,they shouldn't be so far from home that their God-given fuctions of home management become a story.They should draw closer to the home so as to help in re-examining the styles of performance of the duties of their wards at home and as well extend such gestures in championing the management of the problems of the entire society.Women are problem solvers.In order to participate fully in the Nigerian polity, they should be allowed formal education.The government can help liberate them from ignorance and exploitation by men by passing a law that promotes gender equality.Their functions should not be limited to only domestic.It has to be widened to accommodate even this rebranding Nigeria project campaigns which the federal government of Nigeriai is after this time.
