The Great Britain that colonized Nigeria is a feminine nation. Flora Shaw who gave the name Nigeria gave the name before becoming married to Lugard who amalgamated Nigeria in 1914. Were we born as a nation by a woman before her marriage? Nigerian women have a crucial role to play in the new future of Nigeria Just as Flora Shaw gave the name around 1899 for amalgamation in 1914, Nigerian women needed to give a rebirth to Nigeria between 1999 and 2014 for national unification. Stella as the wife of first President Obasanjo could not survive in the task. Turai as the wife of second President Yaradua survived but missed her husband bringing her era to an end. Patience as the wife of the third President Jonathan has the responsibility of surviving with her spouse and standing in a position to jointly parent the nation. Arise, Nigerian women, for the moment has come. The reason that the enemies are after our young girls cannot be far away from the coming of the age of women
