Fellow Cameroonian/African Mothers, Ladies and Girls
We join you all and the rest of the mothers ,ladies and girls around the world to celebrate mother's day. Although mother's day are celebrated at different times annually, the goal to highlight motherhood is the same. Women , ladies and the girls are exceptionally gifted in this life and many have excelled in life as mothers and civil or public servants.
This day marks this important milestone in the universal recognition of the role women play in our society as well to themselves. We take great pleasure in this day and will like you all to know how deeply attached we are to this event morally, spiritually and mentally.
Such functions of mothers cannot be overemphasized by conscientious and conscious minds who seek everyday to affirm the inexhaustible tasks of women, 24/7. We wonder how many men really take notice of this? How many women, mothers and girls are violated everyday through domestic violence or systematic and institutional violence orchestrated by men or fathers ?
We believe that there is so much to be thankful for the critical and pivotal role of women in our midst.It seems like a day for merry making at first sight. Hope you are having a great deal of fun with one another and friends, community or family.
Yet, we are also very concerned about the number of women or girl children in our societies who are victims of oppression as a result of the unjust policies or oppressive systems powered by the men that women once brought into this world.
If there are not caught up in the cycle of polygamy or some sinister plans of false marriage and only to be abandoned or deserted, they are struggling to raise children all by themselves with little or absolutely no help from the men who contributed in their procreation. We must stand up for the rights of women at all times.
A day like this reminds us all that we never relent our efforts towards highlighting the leadership roles of women as well as constantly seeking to do better. Cameroon needs a new government and system that will take the issues of mothers seriously and develop policies that will empower women in all walks of life through a sound socio-economic and political system that will accomodate all of them and not only a selected few.
We call upon all of you mothers, women and ladies to take the issues of the gross violation of human rights of all children and mothers/ladies in your societies abroad and in Cameroon seriously. We urge you to stand up for the rights of all girl children, women and mothers suffering under the corrupt rule of men who use their primitive political power to dehumanize the women who bore them. What a shame !
Today must be a day of deep reflection about what what role you as a mother ,lady or young girl should play in order to prevent,stop or abolish the violation of women rights among ourselves and in Cameroon.
It was the March of women in Versailles that sparked the French Revolution.It was the rebellion of Rosa Parks to give off her seat to male Whiteman in a Bus that ignited the Civil Rights Movement. The world is not the same again since then.
Never underestimate your role and your importance in every society or community. If all women choose to go on moral, spiritual or political strike today, men will run around naked on the streets.
History paints a very great picture of women as pillars and agents of social and political change and transformation. You as a mother, lady or girl reading from us must be an exception and you must not give up if you are already involved in your motherly leadership.
Can we imagine a world without Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ? Can we imagine a world without Mother Theresa? Can we imagine a world without Rosa Parks? Can we imagine a world without the mothers of all the men who have and are a positive infleunce in the world?
What would have happened if the mother of that man never gave birth to him? May be the world would be a lot better.
Wonders shall never end in this world. Mothers conceived and give birth to all types of us men.Some are tall,short,red, black, white, crooked, corrupt, wicked,kind,good and compassionate. Wow, mothers.
Has any mother ever looked back and said, I wish I did not give birth to that son of mine, he drives the world crazy with his ways! Yet, there are many of you mothers who are full of joy because your son or sons are a blessing to humanity.
We thank you all for being mothers, ladies and girls.You are a very helpful component of life and we cannot even imagine a world without any of you. You are a big and indispensable complement and companion.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY AND THANK YOU FOR BEING MOTHERS OR WOULD BE.
