NIGERIAN WOMEN ARE EAGLES, LET US FLY Commemorating International Women’s Day – March 8, 2025 By Dr. Ifeyinwa Nwakwesi, MBBS Growth Mindset & Integrative Lifestyle Specialist Executive Chairman, HLS Growth Mindset & Integrative Lifestyle Academy
Women: A Powerful Force for Change
Women are a special breed—strong, resilient, determined, wise, creative, and purpose-driven. They nurture families, manage homes, and contribute financially, all while showing deep love and protection for their loved ones.
Many women are guided by their faith, living with integrity, humility, and gratitude. They prioritize inner beauty over material wealth, striving to become the best versions of themselves and valuable assets to their families and society.
Challenges Limiting Women’s Impact:
- Lack of Strategic Action: Women must intentionally develop and implement roadmaps for increased inclusion in politics, leadership, and social impact.
- Underutilized Potential: Many women live below their potential. Adopting a growth mindset helps them maximize their capabilities.
- Relationship Challenges: Learning effective, non-combative communication can foster better understanding in marriages and relationships.
- Financial Struggles: Economic empowerment through education and skills training is essential for self-reliance.
- Happiness as a Choice: Women must find joy within themselves—rooted in gratitude and personal growth.
- Social Impact: Women must unite to support the hungry, vulnerable, homeless, orphans, and indigent youths.
- Rejecting Ill-Gotten Wealth: Women should uphold integrity and avoid gifts from corrupt sources.
- Breaking Marginalization: Women must stop begging for seats and instead organize and strategize for leadership roles.
- Early Leadership Training: Girls should be trained in leadership from primary school to prepare them for the future.
- Health & Well-being: Prioritizing vibrant health and preventing chronic diseases keeps women strong and influential.
- Restoring Values & Nation Building: Women must speak up against moral decline and lead actions to rebuild Nigeria.
