SEC16W1: “It is Women’s Day!”

^{Outing of the Day}

Hello friends, it is another beautiful day to make my entry. It is all about women and I am proud to be from this gender. Women are one special breed that has to be treated very well. We are unique beings that are sensitive, soft, rugged, and long-suffering. It is another International Women's Week and we just have to celebrate it with all the zealousness it requires.

For this year and like every other year, we have always participated in lucrative engagements and that bonded us as women in my place of worship. We participate in several events and all of these come with a prize to help encourage the winners in listed categories. Our activities this time started quite early in anticipation of this very week's event.

Maybe I will have to specify some of the events we do. During the event period celebrated in commemoration of Women's Day, there are arrays of varieties done to fly the flag of women high. There is Matching Competition; This was another great highlight for us in this year's women's outing. A gathering that allows other local churches to display what they could show through matching competition. In all, we were ranked third in this variety.

Another in our variety was Cooking Competition; Women are known for their high affinity for kitchen matters all over the world though there are tendencies of men still doing some of this role.

During a selected day, women are asked to present a meal and this does not matter if they are the same or not. What mattered was to any meal of their choice. This was prepared by each local church in the diocese. We were able to prepare Abacha (cassava flakes) which was garnished in a porridge form with red oil, crayfish, dry fish, pepper, etc. We were able to come to our 3rd position among eight-size competitors.

^{Coral Speech Display}

We also engaged in Coral speech; this is another scriptural display that involves members reciting some portion of the holy book with demonstration done while reciting them. My team was able to diligently do this. One thing has been amazing so far, we've not taken the lead in any of the varieties or categories.

Another category we saw that made a flamboyant view was the Fashion. parade and Choir [Singing] Competition. It was glamorous for some who appreciate good gatherings with high decency of organization and coordination.

Sunday the 10th day of March would be a Thanksgiving service to mark the international women's day for the year. We hope to also make some of these displays on this said date as well to entertain members and make it fun.

Women are the light and salt of the world. An empowerment of these genders means a thousand liberation. Empowering women in any field endeavor means total liberation therein.

I believe liberating women by empowering them to be self-dependent is one way to shine this light brighter. Ways to do this is to engage them in skills acquisition, agriculture, and other trade services.
