THE AFRICAN GIRL CHILD (PART TWO)
___________________________________________

I Chidinma Ann Ogenyi, not only have a dream but a wish;

I wish that a girl child should be given the same relevance/Importance as a male child.

I wish that a girl child be enlightened more on discovering herself and going after her dreams and passions and not only taught to be good wives to their husbands and good mother's to their children.

I wish that the education of the girl be attached more Importance and value as that of the male child and that this irresponsible comments like; " female education no matter how high she attains , ends in kitchen and husband's house " should be put to stop.

I wish that a girl child shouldn't be forcefully compelled to sleep with her male tutor before can pass a course she would ace on merit.

I wish that a girl child with merit, shouldn't be denied certain positions just because of her gender.

That a female engineer shouldn't be considered inferior to her male counterpart even when they hold the same qualifications and competencies.

That a girl child is allowed to choose her own path and be who she wants to be, not who the society says she should be.

That a girl child is encouraged to dream big and reach for the sky even after marriage and not making marriage the ultimate dream or achievement.

I wish for a society where a girl child must not be married before she is given the respect she has earned.

I wish for a society where successful girl child is not generally believed to have slept her way to the top.

Finally, I wish for a nation where gender does not define people's ability, a nation where an African girl child is granted freedom from stereotypes and societal biases, a society where the African girl child is feted as the queen that she is regardless of her family family background or social status. I wish for a better life for the average African girl child.
