The
travail of Nigerian women living in the rural communities
………tales of disconnected
governance
By Semiye Michael; a rural development reporter
Who says the life is
kind to all? In a world where men feed on each other mercilessly and make boast
of their evil acts of leadership callousness and yet get celebrated amidst absent
minded populace; how friendly can life be to all in the face of massive
injustice and development seeing to be exclusive for target groups in the same
world meant for all? Let us take a simple most unbelievable scenario as case
study;
Abuja was once adjudged
to be one of the fastest growing cities in the world; this no one am sure can
dispute. But it is quite an experience to feel the situation of the communities
that surrounds this beautiful city. Touring the over 800 villages in the suburb
of Abuja city all of which are captured in annual fund allocation for the
development of the Federal Capital Territory, DEAN Initiative came in contact
with life threatening social and infrastructural challenges that left us asking
ourselves if we were actually in FCT.
