Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh's shares inspiring account of women's creation and abilities; "When
God created woman he was working late on the 6th day. An
angel came by and asked." Why spend so much time. The
lord answered. " Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to
shape her?"..... she must function on all kinds of foods, ...
she
must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,
give
a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart ,
she
must do all this with only two hands,.." She cures herself when sick and
can work 18 hours a day".... ... THE ANGEL was impressed. .." Just
two hands.....impossible !" ..
And
this is the standard model ? ! ...." The Angel came closer and touched the
woman"...... ..
."
But you have made her so soft, Lord".....
."
She is soft", said the Lord, " But I have made her strong. You can't
imagine what she can endure and overcome "...
."Can
she think?" The Angel asked...
The
Lord answered. " Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate"
...
The
Angel touched her cheeks.....
"
Lord, it seems this creation is leaking ! You have put too many burdens on her.
" ...
She
is not leaking...it is a tear" The Lord corrected the Angel...
What's
it for?" Asked the Angel..... .
The
Lord said. " Tears are her way of expressing
her
grief,
her
doubts,
her
love,
her
loneliness,
her
suffering and
her
pride."...
THIS
made a big impression on the Angel, " Lord, you are a genius.
You
thought of everything.
A
woman is indeed marvellous !".... ...
Lord
said." Indeed she is.
She
has strength that amazes a man.
She
can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She
holds happiness, love and opinions.
She
smiles when she feels like screaming.
She
sings when she feels like crying,
cries
when happy and
laughs
when afraid.
She
fights for what she believes in.
Her
love is unconditional.
Her
heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies
but
she finds strength to get on with life." .. The Angel asked : So she is
perfect ?
The
lord replied : No. She has just one drawback " She often forgets what she
is worth".
