The Nigerian Woman's Speech
THE NIGERIAN WOMAN’S SPEECH
I, like a fluffy dough,
arising from the creation’s basin, woman ,he named me.
Then I arose, like a shining sun from the womb of the breaking day,
and I declare in a loud voice, I am a ‘womb-man’
I am the potent power in his bowel.
I am the fruitfulness of his vine.
I am the backbone.
I am the pillar.
I am a mother-the nurturer.
I am a partner- the supporter.
I am a wife- the pleasure giver.
I am a black woman, with Nigerian blood within my veins.
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
