African woman as I see it African womanhood as I see it The African/ Nigerian women is beautiful, hardworking, talented, industrious but limited, Limited by religion, limited by tradition, limited my upbringing,..Nigeria as I know it is a very traditional and religious country You know the African girl child was practically groomed for marriage, to respect a man, to take care of a man, she was taught to take care of her kids and protect her home at all cost , but deep down I keep asking myself why isn’t anyone teaching the African man to do the same? Aren’t they both humans who will grow up and become adults ? a lot of African women weren’t groomed for career , they weren’t groomed for independence.. a lot grew up to be dependent on a manI have seen a lot of women living with a man who cheats who abuse her , mentally and emotionally and she will still be with him because of financial dependence or what her family will say .. There is a lot A lot of women I have spoken to really want to leave their bad marriages, but when I ask why do you still allow him treat you like this, you will hear her say blessing you know I don’t have a job, how will I take cate of my children.. so a lot of times they are in sad marriagesOne thing we need to know is We have to start teaching our daughters betterThat mentality of depending on a man should end , A woman should know she can work hard and give herself the good life that she wants A lot of us grew up with the mentality of depending on a man , we were just groomed for marriage, we were not groomed to be career women, You hear worlds like with all your education you will end up in a mans kitchen, A young lady will be taught how to cook how to clean and no one is teaching the men how to do the same , You will see a Pregnat woman standing for hrs making meals for her family while the husband might just be watching a movie or pressing his phone.. when I was pregnant a lot of time I just wanted a little help to make me feel relieved, a lot of women needs that, I think that is why a lot of women now look older than their husbands, just saying.I am happy the women are changing, they are speaking up, a lot are beginning to see their potentials I am a proud African, I am proud of my culture, but a lot of African culture should be dropped, they are not helping..
