THE DEFINITION OF A STRONG WOMAN: NIGERIA A CASE STUDY NOW.

"Tacha is some Nigerian girls' definition of a strong woman because, well, she insults people on the go; a new role model.
Just some 4 years ago, Buhari was these same Peoples' definition of strong leader. Strong in Nigeria usually comes with a special case of mental shallowness and that is what we adore.
There was a rally on the streets of Port Harcourt on Monday. Young Nigerians who had no light, proper education, no jobs, still live in their family homes, paid for buses, public addressing systems, shouted on the streets of Port Harcourt that people should vote Tacha.
Few months ago, one Blessing Ogonna Owhonda emerged as the best graduating student of Rivers State University. She struck a CGPA of 4.89 in Law. 98 percent of youths in the state do not know this intelligent and smart strong woman. Nobody campaigned for the state government or individuals to send her overseas for further intellectual development. Blessing may, after law school and youth service, beg for jobs while Tacha receives endorsements.
We need role models not those whose actions lead to a mental fatigue.
All over the world, young people are requesting for change. Be it in Hong-Kong, Egypt in form of protests holding governments to account. They understand that politics controls everything as any nation that does not get its politics right will never get its economics, education, etc right. Nigerian youths are proudly ignorant of this fact.
Buhari was at UNGA. Nigerians are not interested in whatever he said there. Not even the pay-per-share/pay-per-retweet APC minions are sharing details of his speech. We know, just like his previous outing, that it was uninspiring, flat and incoherent. Nigerians have been sharing speeches by the United States president who said the world belongs to patriots and not globalists. He also said that communism and socialism only benefit the elites. Trump has been receiving both flaks and thumbs up. Even the brainwashing Liberal-controlled media are confused. What did your strong man president say?
I think that this generation has a perchance for making bad choices, because, evidently, there are little people who inspire, who are looked up to for guidance. We need role models who we can beat our chests and say "I want to be like this person exactly"
We need more Okonjo Iweala. We need more Blessing Ogonna Owhonda. We need more justice Mary Odili, Dora Akunyili, Seinye Lulu-Briggs, Bilikis Adebeyi, Kudirat Kekere Ekun, JSC, whose ruling on election matters have been cited by judges all over the courts as superior authority. We need people like Iyang Jovita, the owner of Jevinik whose business model is being studied by upcoming entrepreneurs. Iyang is not loud. Go and read her interviews.
While youths taxed themselves to campaign for Tacha streetwise, residents of Rukpokwu in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area are moving out in droves due to flooding. Rukpokwu is well known for flooding but the state government had done nothing over the years. The youths do not care. I am sure that youths who live in Rukpokwu were part of that rally."
