“This International Women’s Day, I pay tribute to some Nigerian women who inspire me professionally and personally, who have been able to break barriers professionally, while dealing with personal issues impeccably. You should know who all of these women are already and if you don’t, now you do!

“Please research these and more women because they can inspire you as well.

“I get asked if I’m a feminist. I’m more than a feminist; woman was brought to this world because man NEEDED her, woman brings LIFE to this world.

“Life CANNOT go one without woman. The sooner we all, women and men, accept this, we will reach gender equality. #IWD. #BalanceForBetter.”
