Women and 100 years.


On 8Th March, women all over the world cerebrated 100 years women's day, this is great achievements and i thank you mamas wherever you are, you are all great stars in you own ways.


Having such a day for all those years makes someone feel proud and encouraged, women are wonderful managers of their own affairs.


We have seen great women who were prime minister and president of their countries, M/s Gold Meier, M/s Benezir Bhutto, Mrs Margret Thatcher, Mrs. Indra Gandhi,Mrs. Arroyo, Mrs. Gorazon Aquino, M/s Eleen Sir lief and many more. This women have made great marks in this world and we have witnessed great decision made by them. Thanks to all citizen who elected them in their respective countries.


In Kenya the issue of equality started way back during the reign of President Moi, Moi made it clear for total care of women and children. In 1980s, few women were able to contest for leadership or even employments, but the current Kenya is totally different, we have women in all areas of oportunities, which is very promising way for our mothers and sisters, but one thing keep on bothering me.


The population of women compared to men is almost double, but i do not understand why women have taken all those years to know their rights. If you look in politics, women leaders are very few yet the majority of who votes are the same women, can someone unlock the puzzle for me?.


One hundred years is a very long period that women have been cerebrating this day, what have they been cerebrating as most of issues in the millennium development goal of 2030 should have been tackled long ago.


Education for girl child,earler marriages, inheritances and many more issues are things that women caucus should have brought forth long ago, it amazes me to see that UN had to come out with a proper planing for women for the millinium develpoment goal 2030. Some of this issue has being with women since time in memory.


All said, its better late than ever, one thing that keep on bothering me is the way our Kenya ladies are behaving,i do appreciate very much how our ladies have stepped forward in developing our beloved country. We have very educated ladies heading various big companies and sensitives ministries in the government. Others are doing wonders in self employment sector, this is good and i salute you ladies.


The only thing that i do not agree with women is how after succeeding in their area of choice and life in general, they start 'claiming' more freedom from either their husband or boy-friend, i call it a CLAIM as for so many years , she never complained about this and it only came after having several group meeting with some other women. Its very painful to see couples that have been together for over ten years separating because the lady of the house feels there in no freedom. Most of times i have asked those ladies,'which freedom do you want'?, and the answer is almost the same.


I need freedom to hung out with my friends, i don't want anyone to ask me where i am or why am coming home late, etc. I need to do MY things without consulting anyone or careling about an answer to him, yet women are the worst partners and wifes when it comes in controlling their husbands and boy-friends lifes.


When God created world, He gave Adam some condition on how to live in Aden, governments all over the world have constitutions,law and policies that its citizens must follow and adhere to. That's means, we human being must have some controls on our daily lives on how we behave and live.


The marriage institution in Kenya is passing through a very rough test, where divorces are the order of days. Why is it that after going through all that we all know a marriage can go through, after struggling to put food on the table, learning, building, having a wonderful family, you want to end your marriage because of the success you have, how do you want your child to be, with a husband/wife?.

If you do not want a husband yet you have a boy, how will you want his life to be, without a wife and his won family?

What about your girl child, when she graduate from University do you want her to just have a child with a man and ditch him the way you did? Women please look forward tomorrow is coming and what goes around. comes around.


Its very common now days to hear young working class women just wanting to have children and ditch the man, the Kenya men are just being used like haifer for breeding, its OK and i have no ill feeling about this, my concern is the highpocrancy with those women , why get married when you know you won't be honest with it.

I think time has come where Kenyan men who wants to marry should either go to Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and other Central Africa countries, Kenyan men are humble and i think we were given the wrong type of girls. Please Kenyan Girls get the Nigeria, Ghana, African American and the south Sudanese, this are guys that can handle your roughness.


After all said, i know we have our great mothers, mothers born back before 1960s who are wonderful mothers, i salute you on how you brought up your families in unity and loving.


I hope this women day will address in future the needs of family values as well whats is happenings in the world of A WOMAN.



All the best guys.


Adios.
