Hi my dear kassma,
Yes women are powerful and they must stand up to that themselves.This starts from Adam and Eve.When they were thrown out of Heaven,they were separated and they started looking for each other.When they found one another,despite Eve was desperate to see Adam, with the power of restraint,God gave women to use,she pretends not to be.And when Adam said to her :"I have been looking everywhere for you",Eve replied in the negative and Adam kept following her until she accept to be with him.God gave Eve that power to control her weakness after her desperation to find Adam .You women still have that Eve attitude don't you?If men thought of women as weak and you[women] your selves accepts this,men will rejoice as men always want to control.

But what am telling you you know.Except if you blinded your self over it.

The power inside a woman cannot be challenged by any unless SHE allows it herself.If women could use these examples wisely,they ofcause will always control men,

You can only be penetrated by man who see in your eye{Except ofcause in a lawless place].
Men are scared when your eyed are red with anger,
Men can never be confortable when they know you are not at ease,
You talk of Africa,Women in Africa are abused because they allow some of those abuses to happen to them.

In civil war,nobody suffers than women and childreen.And instead of standing for each other[Forgetting that she is the victim today,I might be tomorrow], they allow them selves to be seprated,once someone is raped,her fellow women will be the first that would say....."SHE HAS BEEN SHAMED ".... thus abandoned her to be left at the mercy of her crazy husband.When instead they could stand by her tooth and nail as once one is victim,all can be some day.

Examples
(1)FGM,....Some women instead of rallying behind their fellow campaigners,they insult them helped by men.
(2)Early marriages,.......Some women would tell you too much education is not good for a woman.Infact a woman is best in her husband's house to seek heaven before becoming pregnant by somebody thus bringing shame opon the family.[These are words of men in women ears]
(3)Sharing your husband by him marrying annother,....Some women would tell you I would rather be a first than staying till am old for him to get a young one.I want him to do it now.Because I cannot stop him.No ask your self how comes Fanta is alone with her husband?How did she managed to be single?

You seems unable to use the power you have.
Only you can try to use it beause we men would never want to see you use it but once you try and never give up using it,we are always the ones to back down.
Just take an example of a woman who respects her self in society,
NO MAN DARES WRONG HER FOR THEY ALL SEE THE POWER IN HER
Also compare her with the one who let men misuse her by either through prostitution{not present trade prostitution]or becoming men's mistresses or sex tools,
EVERY MAN WILL TELL HIS COMRADE OH BOY DO YOU KNOW HOW SWEET SHE IS?

BUT MY DEAR WOMEN ARE REALLY POWERFUL.

Do you know what Mandinkas called "JARABI MUSOO" [everloved wife]?
No!You must understand,... men used that language not to show their weakness.
Its the power of those women they utilised over their husbands without quarrel or force but with their charm of the power God has given them.

I must stop here for am given you evrything and we want to retain the power you let us have over you.

peace

Well jambo,
I had a christian name I was given by my best friend a priest and teacher.I defeated many born in to the Faith christians{for at the school,only those who know me and my friend [the priest]knew I was born a muslim.Everybody else thought I learned christianity when I was very young.But today I am Mr Human Rights,{Janyanfara}.

To answer your question,

I went to Banjul Bible Training School in Bakau just nearly opposite the road to the stadium.On your left when going towards the Daily observer office,right on the high way.

And sister Gassma,
ya I saw your point well in the begening but I don't want others feel weak due to your comment.We campaigners are doing every thing to put women at our forefront for their right.Every body is born by a woman and no one hates his/her mother.So belief another girl may be or become somebody else's mother.

I will tell you another true story{I witnessed in Cassamance{Southern Senegal}
A Boy who complained continuesly to elders about his father's constant beating of his mother when ever the mother quarrelled with the dad's new wife who was younger than the boy.Despite many pleas from elders for the dad to at least respect his son's wishes not to figh his mother in his presence,the Dad turned a deaf ear.

It so happened thatthe Dad's very very old mother was at home with the family and the Boy thought of the pain he has been going through at the way his mother has been treated,One day as the father was beating his mother,the Boy went to fetch a stick and came without warning,he hit the old woman{the Dad's mum who shouted at the top of her voice above the crying of the Boy's mother.When the father heard his mother shouting and crying for help,he immidiately stopped beating his wife and ran to his mother to enquire what was wrong?While he ran to his mother,the Boy also stopped beating his grand mum and ran to his own mother.As the father knew what had happened,He angrily came towards the Boy and the Boy ran away and stood just few feet from the Father and swore to him :

"I swear any time you beat my mother again,I will also beat your mother and you will loose your old mother if you don't stop beating my mother."

That was the end othe the beating of the Boy's mother and thus his mother gained her freedom.
peace
