I wish I can get every igbo young girl in a space and just tell them who they were before colonization.

That is the only way to go forward as a people because women were very instrumental in the prosperity of our ancient communities.
Funny how women who were playing vital roles in the community were made to believe all of a sudden that they should be subservient to a man even when he's clueless.

Our ancestors didn't leave it that way. Bible convinced Queens that they are pawns and they believed. đŸ„ș
Our ancestors made a provision for women who didn't want to continue their marriages to leave!

For better for worse is just an ideology formed to mess the woman's psyche up. Because why will you continue in an adventure that can take your life?
If a woman walks out of her husbands house on an Nkwo market day, it means finality. She has weighed her options and leaving is the best.

The husband cannot even dare beg her to stay. No elder can have a differnt opinion. No alusi can intervene! That is the power women had!
Today one man will call himself your pastor and tell you to forgive or pray for even an abusive man because gini?

Umu nwanyi mulu anya o😏
