  It is so funny, hilarious and most times very annoying and barbaric when i hear or listen to some people in some rural areas talk about female athletes...

Wait a minute, what really is the difference between MALE and fe-MALE?? Is it because of the "fe" attached to it or what?? 

This is so bad and mostly puts the females in this rural areas in total doom and darkness and most time they themselves won't give themselves to it at all because of what the "parents" say, and because of this they become backward. Some say to themselves am not good at all in any way, when there are lots of talents installed in them, seeking for their areas and communities (lols... 😂 ) which they are good at, to bring themselves into it and with this kind of news they give up. 
Please stop it.. Pliiiiiiiizzzzzzzz

 I spoke to some lady whom i saw so depressed and lost in thought few months ago, what is wrong? I asked.. Her reply took my left foot off the ground. She said my mother doesn't want me to go for my daily training and fitness practise. What was her excuse for  that statement, i asked again... She replied and said because am looking strong (muscular) and even threatened to punish her seriously if she goes by her will... Can you imagine this things, bad painting on female athletes..

Few days of my speaking with her on how to keep up with her training and practices without getting to a fight with the mother, not to disobey her, today the mother is the one always enjoying it because it paid her well but had forgotten about the threats..
Thanks to technologies and our advocates on issues like this because this won't be easy. Today WOMEN are mostly celebrated than men for what they have contributed so far in the world of sport. To me i will celebrate some parents, those who stood by their daughters and supported them all the way even when they failed and almost gave up, but still encouraged them and empowered them and now most of them are at the top. 
To all parents, please.. please... please... please... please... give your daughters the opportunity to explore themselves, they may not be good at books, but their brains can be active in sports even in other fields and spheres of life.

These is mostly seen in some rural areas and most be changed. We used to sing a song that says "we are the leaders of tomorrow"... The question is this, if this kind of thing continues, where, when or how would we become the leaders of tomorrow?? 
Take a deep thought over this and make your decision.. If you also see this, please don't encourage it. Thanks.. 
Thank for reading...
Remember,  #wearetheleadersoftomorrow
