Where Are The Women?

While the political terrain is hazy and unfolding, it bears some historical traits. Many people are loafing around, looking for some Iroko to latch on to or hide under. Many more are idling away, hoping that they would or may or can find a berthing in whatever political party shows/has the proverbial bandwagon trawl. How they misread our new horizon!

As for the women, they are yet to learn. In the past, they were contented with being hustlersin the "Women's Wing" of political parties. And they lost out. Now, as before, they seem to be relying on government - through the women's ministries - to organize and strategize. It didn't serve well before, it won't work today. They must get out there, join the fray, and work the field.
No short-cuts, no free ride, no leeching! All must pay the cost of business to reap in this steely business.... or beg for appointment, when all posts be won!

In this tough and rough terrain, only the determined will arrive the Podium of Victory. The real ones, quality and qualitative, period. So sisters, where are the gazelles...and the amazons?
