THE STRONG WOMAN

Image
Be that STRONG WOMAN no matter what. Be that strong woman for your own growth and sanity. Honey, don’t loose yourself, your inner beauty and future because of a man.  When the time is right, the right man who will not belittle, use you as rebound, as side chick or an open relationship partner will come for just you and make you his queen.  But until then, concentrate on building yourself to greatness.  Don’t let anything stop or take your shine. Men love women who are POWERFUL in all aspect of life. Start up that business plan today, go all out in growing yourself and anything related to making you great. Getting a good partner is a good feeling every woman wishes but honey if you are not getting, don’t loose your head. Concentrate on building your empire. They will come after you like magnet when the time is right.  Don’t allow yourself to be a second fiddle, you deserve the QUEENSHIP CROWN.

You see we  women ‘including me’ in general just love to always play the gender game or the victim. Even if we have men who try their best, some of us will still make the situation seems we are the  only or most hardworking and supportive partners at the least opportunity  given to us. So it’s making it hard to come across men who put aside their typical traditional marriage rules aside and help at home perform some duties. But we still have some who understand very well that times have changed so they try to adjust to our demands and save the moment in their own small ways by exhibiting some cool character. I preach feminism because I hate to be cheated because I hate see any woman chested by a man  in all areas of life but then again somethings are just what they are, can’t be changed, hence we just have to continue to put in the efforts, hope and wish for the better. Gradually we shall get there. Believe me, if we take the issue  of gender equality from our marriages, most c

BITTER! BUT THE TRUE REALITY OF MOST GHANAIAN GRADUATES AFTER UNIVERSITY.

Ghana, life after university. Practical reality of the Ghanaian youths and how you have to tactically survive it. How 80% of graduates manage their way out to where they are now in their career journey, only God knows and only time will allow their stories to be told. Most of us along the line,  dropped our University degree specialisation to peruse something new. I mean the courses we actually majored in, the knowledge and practical experience we garnered from doing  attachment just to add more  knowledge for a different change of career.  Don’t blame us at all, we took those bold steps out of frustration. Out of the fact that, some people we expected to understand and sympathize  with us on our “fresh university graduate looking for job but to no avail days” gave up on us.  So at some point we were also tired of the national anthem “the no vacancy” sang in our faces immediately we dropped our CVs. We were simply tired of seeing and hearing people, sometimes our

Alhamdullilah. Our maiden edition of the Meet and Greet with The Muslim Woman Achiever. Glad our maiden meet and greet session with the  Waakye seller’s  daughter, the lady who attended a public school , the lady who did a lot of work without salary but was still determined.  Writing and posting  about her, her career, her successes and all that to me, shouldn’t  only end with people reading and commenting they feel inspired.  Creating the social development impact by setting a platform for those who want to meet her is more significant to me and her also because she also runs a platform that seeks to bring Muslim Women around the world together.  The session is my own small way of creating a platform that will enable some of the young girls/ women (Muslims/ Christians)  who want to peruse the  Cabin Crew Career.  These women reached out via inbox messages requesting to meet her in person and ask her questions relating  to the Aviation Profession.

Taking a step is better than not taking step at all. Last Sunday, I took my first baby steps of that dream in creating a platform “big or small) that will bring any of  our Muslim Women Achievers doing well in their respective careers, professions and enterprises closer to the young girls that their stories inspired and so want to meet them and ask their own questions. The Muslim Woman Achiever ‘Meet & Greet’ platform will not only target the young girls from ZONGO communities and it is not also for only Muslim women resources persons.  This platform is targeted to reach any young girl/ woman  regardless their  religious backgrounds. The  young girl  who needs to be told , her situation is not one of a kind but there are other women with similar or even worse situations than her, yet are going  further to achieve greater roles in their diverse fields. The main objective of the session is to  educate, inform, inspire and motivate these young girls to strive for greatnes

THE MUSLIM WOMAN ACHIEVER

In the zongo communities, we have so many  great talents. From Seamstresses to very good cooks that will make you wake up in the middle of the night to and go stand in a long queue for hours  just to buy their foods, we’ve got some great  hair stylist, embroidery designers, make up artistes and so on and so fourth. If most of these talents will be as professional as this Henne Designer, then am proud to say ZONGO is the future for business opportunities and avenues.  My sister and I were elated to receive a  detailed confirmation message from a “Mei yin Lele” meaning Henna designer! Immediately, we both went like this one is a PRO. No wonder most people we spoke to recommended her.  Take a read at what ensured between us and The Muslim Woman Achiever who’s proven to take the “Leilei” as we commonly call it in Hausa to a bigger and more attractive  level.  Growing up, I used to do Henna for my friends during Eid festivals and  family occasions.  I had passion for Arts

RANT OF A WORRIED ZONGO MAN

There is a lot to talk about when it comes to our zongo regarding the inhuman things that our young innocent females have to go through in the hands of some irresponsible Muslim men, worst of it is the Makaranta mallams who hide behind the religion and title to cause harm to these girls.  Well to start with :  MAKARANTA:  It has always been an open secret in some of our communities that the Arabic schools most of these ladies attended isn’t what it’s supposed to be after all. Most of the young girls over the years have being sexually molested by the very people they refer to as their Mallams meaning “Arabic school teachers”.  Believe it or not, most of our Arabic schools are breeding grounds for sexual molestation . Most of the mallams hide behind their titles to  take advantage of these innocent girls who come to learn garner some knowledge. There is a Mallam in Ashiaman who have impregnated about six girls already. Sad to say, after the cases are reported to the aut
