Great women Quote by S. A. David
““While I lamented in my room, I imagined Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Onyeka Onwenu, Joke Silva, Genevieve Nnaji, among other great women holding high their #BringBackOurGirls placards and banners except that their message would have implied “bring back our women that you have turned into punching bags and take back the bride price you paid.””
