The role of women especially mothers, have been described as highly essential to nation building.

The role of women especially mothers, have been described as highly essential to nation building.

They have, therefore, been charged to fully utilise their innate talents, harness them while raising their children and contribute positively to the growth of their homes, communities and the society at large.

This charge was made at a Mother’s day special party organised by the Mind Builders School, Alausa, Ikeja, the Lagos State capital.

Speaking at the event, Education Director Mind Builders Nursery and Primary School, Mrs. Bolajoko Faluwe praised women for their dogged and fearless nature, saying, “Being a woman is not an accident; there is a purpose God created you as a woman.

The importance of women in our society and the home cannot be over emphasised.”

While describing the characteristics of being a fearless woman, Mrs. Faluwe noted that she must believe in herself, have a voice; she must show that her self-esteem is very high and live by it.

“She must be a woman of integrity and respect herself in all areas. She must have the pillars of character; be courageous, show some kindness, go beyond her comfort zone, encourage other women and create quality time with her children,” she said.

She also urged women especially working mothers to strike a balance and create time for their children.

Chairperson, Parents Teachers Forum (PTF), Keji Olutunji Oladimeji urged the mothers to get up, discover purpose and show each other love as no one will do so if they didn’t. “Women did not only come to this world to push and birth babies, but to also push and birth purpose as well because a lot is in us, that is how to be fearless.

“Women need to motivate themselves, else years will keep passing by without achieving results. Find a balance in between or else, you wake up and you are 60 and have not achieved anything, so you have to be determined.”
