The girl child seems to have little or no place in a cultural laden country such as Nigeria, they are to be seen and rarely heard and when the girl child deems it fit to exert her measly right she earns a demeaning tag thus casting her out from a fragile family context and the world in a whole.



E dey always pain me when parents no dey see anything good for their girl pikin. I don see papa wey abandon hin wife all coz na so so girl she dey born, I don see the sexual exploits lecturers dey subject them to, I don see how harsh and vile they've been raped. The question be say how we won take and how we go take emancipate the girl pikin from all these yawa wey dey happen so..I get one solution but na drastic one abeg make una sidon as I go take propose my own solution.



There is apparently a sole agent to blame for this sidelining and obvious negligence of the girl child, am quite sure you would nod your head in approval as i pile the blame on culture and everything which bears a striking a semblance to it, by striking semblance I mean norms, archaic values and grey traditions.



Too much inclination and adherence to tradition, culture and norms stunts the needed growth of most African nations, we are to be likened to sheeps devoid of reasoning and heeding to the sole call of an antiquated shepherd, a country with a lax resolve towards traditions and customs will definitely have no place seated among the committee of progressive and liberal nations,


Since we are part of an ever fluxing world then i strongly oblige that our firm and yet inappropriate take on grey traditions should go beyond the leap of antiquated mediocrity and instead settle with modern frivolities.



When a substantive part of our national life seems riddled and immersed in archaic cultures of receeding years then we should expect an impending backlog of untapped intellectual prowess which in all sincerity is being brought to a halt by the over bearing antecedents and consequences of "should be erstwhile cultures"...the girl child is relegated to the background amidst an avalanche of house chores, there's no maximisation on her part because she's dwarfed and pegged down by vile and sarcastic comments from male folks and even the female lots..



A nation aspiring towards great deeds and monumental achievement needs it fair share of unhindered freedom, the sort of freedom which gives each and every citizenry the needed leeway to express and experience something worthwhile and subjective and yet useful to the larger society. Let's have the courage to think out of our cultural box. Let's pull the girl child from the avalanche of dishes and linens shrouding her, let's give her a voice and then you would be awed by the wonders she would cast on the nation.

I write in total support of the freedom of the girl child.
