Mrs. Jennifer Abubakar, the wife of the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has promised gender equity in government if PDP wins the February 16 presidential election.
Abubakar made the promise at an interactive session with women groups in Cross River State on Monday in Calabar.
She said that gender equity which was part of the planned programmes by PDP would be possible if women voted for the party.
She charged the women to go all out and collect their Permanent Voter Cards, pointing out that there were so many uncollected cards at the Independent National Electoral Commission’s offices.
“We have to start by making sure we collect our PVCs, it is our strength and there are so many uncollected PVCs with INEC.
“Make sure you vote for the PDP on the February 16 general election and ensure that everyone in your household comes out to vote for PDP,” she said.

 Abubakar said that poverty was generational and could be ended through education as indicated by the PDP in its programme.
The wife of the Governor of Cross River, Dr. Linda Ayade, thanked Abubakar for coming to Cross River and said the visit had solidified the confidence of the women of the state in PDP.
Ayade said the number of registered voters in the state was a little above 1.5 million and that almost half of the number were women.
She said that if the women all voted in February 16, the state would be delivered for PDP, adding that Cross River was 100 per cent PDP and would vote for the party during the elections.
Abubakar came in company with Mrs Margaret Obi, the wife of the PDP running mate, Mr Peter Obi, to launch some empowerment programmes for the women of Cross River.

Female genital mutilation

Good morning my wonderful people! Its a beautiful Monday morning, I'm so excited to write to you today😊😊 I really want to discus a very important issue happening right around us, in our society that lots of us ignore. I call it an Abominable act perpetrated by our parents and still perpetrating by ignorant people. My people I bring today's topic to you ' FEMALE GINITAL MUTILATION' Introduction: Female genital mutilation (FGM) includes any procedure that alters or injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. In its most severe form, after removing the sensitive clitoris, the genitals are cut and stitched closed so that the woman cannot have or enjoy sex. A tiny piece of wood or reed is inserted to leave a small opening for the necessary flow of urine, and monthly blood when she comes of age (most FGM is carried out on infants or young girls before they reach puberty). When she is ready to have sex and a baby, she is "unstitched" - a...

Relationship

Now ladies let's talk about relationships “Three years down the drain! What was I thinking?” Just got out of a relationship and was waking up to all of the red flags that she’d ignored since Day 1. The subtle ways he avoided talking about their future together… … or the way he spoke to other women when she was around… … or how he always seemed to be missing during important moments in her life, but always had a clever excuse waiting when she got upset. You see, when you fall in love, it’s easier to sweep those red flags under the rug and focus on all of the good things. But, of course, those red flags were signals that something was fundamentally wrong with the relationship... … and she ended up spending 3 years in a relationship that never had a chance. Now, I WISH this was an isolated case. But this happens ALL THE TIME to women fall into the same predictable traps. And quite frankly, it breaks my heart seeing all of this happen all the time...... So ladies,...

MY SUICIDE NOTE

I’ve read about two suicide cases in two days. One was about #segun and the other one about the UNN student who had a first class. A lot of people’s comments have been so cruel and all they call them is cowards, selfish, weak and so many other unprintable names. These guys and many more who have committed or attempted suicide didn’t want to die. They love life like you and me but all they wanted to was to end the pain and dying looks like it’s what gives them the avenue to do that. Pain can alter you forever. Pain can make you unrecognizable to yourself. What we also need to know is that everyone’s threshold for pain is different. I have had two babies and I can tell you that the last pain nearly took me out until the gynecologist offered me an option for Caesarean or Epidural Injection. Meanwhile, some people can handle labor pain well even for the next 48 hours without any form of relief. Does that make me less of a woman? NO!! It just means I have a low threshold ...
