If only men knew Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

If only men knew
That a woman is a blessing to mankind
And should be protected, cherished and loved
If only men knew
That a happy woman can make a happy nation
And should be given all resources to make that happen
If only men knew
That such resource include moral, physical, financial, emotional
And several others too numerous to mention
If only men knew
That protecting the interest of a woman is preserving mankind
And this will lead to a better future
If only men knew
That though a woman looks and may be referred to as ‘weak’ she has innate strength
And this is usually manifested when under pressure
If only men knew
That a woman is a special breed
And that breeding children is enough sign for her to be celebrated
If only men knew
That the future of any nation depends on how well they cater for women
And this should be given a critical look and not swept under the carpet
If only men knew
That a woman is naturally resilient, strong and rugged
And should be encouraged to be the best she can be
If only men knew
That a woman will be a better support for man, if she gets the respect she deserves
And will not be violated and abused
If only men knew
That preserving the dignity of woman is one of the best deeds ever
And it will be there lifestyle
If only men knew
That they are a product of a woman
And their mother is a woman
If only men knew
That respecting a woman is respecting themselves
And the best way to be a man
If only men knew

Writer Profile
'Yemisi


Hello there! I'm Yemisi, a Nigerian female with a passion for developmental initiatives.

I love writing because it's a way of adding value to other people's lives, i.e. sharing. We all are who we are today just because sometime in our lives we had opportunities to read what someone else had written.

I like advocating for the voiceless, especially the less-privileged ones. I love programs that focus on children, teens, youths and women. I also believe that we all can live lives worthy of emulation (by generations yet unborn) if we contribute positively - by putting in our best in whatever we are involved in.

My first degree is in Economics and I also have a Masters in Humanitarian & Refugee Studies. I'm currently in University of Jyväskylä, Finland studying for a Masters in Development and International Cooperation.

I'm interested in issues relating to children, youth and women empowerment, especially in developing countries like Nigeria.

I have authored 3 books titled - "Child Development: Whose Role", "Let's Help Nigeria", and "Charisma and Character".

I am a facilitator, trainer, business advisor/consultant and a motivational speaker. My goal is to contribute to socio-political and economic development through skills transfer, knowledge sharing, networking and policy advocacy.

Thanks to TIG for giving me a unique platform to share with and meet new friends!
