As women converge on their various communities and churches for their annual August home and abroad meeting, they have been reminded of the need to use the event to work towards improving the moral tone of the society.
Some of the respondents, including the traditional ruler of Awka Community, Obi Gibson Nwosu, who spoke in an interview with Abuchi Nwozor, also urged the women to see selves as change agents.
Obi Nwosu, who regretted the high rate of societal vices especially among the youths, charged the women to make deliberations on how to check the excesses their priority.
He advised them to engage professionals that will give them talk on how to build a God fearing, and decent families through proper child upbringing to enthrone an egalitarian society.
Obi Nwosu, who is a onetime Deputy Chairman of Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers, harped on the need for parents to always invest in the education of their children to secure a bright future for them.
For the traditional ruler of Nise Community in Awka South Local Government Area, Igwe Romanus Iloh, women should during the meeting, proofer solutions on how to save the Igbo Language and Culture from going into extinction.
Igwe Iloh, who regretted that majority of the women, who are participating in the ongoing August meeting, find it difficult to discuss with their children in Igbo Language, canvassed the compulsory teaching and learning of Igbo Language and Culture in schools and colleges in the south east as part of efforts to save the dignity.
For a knight of the Anglican Church, Sir Osita Ezechukwu, women should use the opportunity of this year’s August meeting to seek ways of addressing the gradual going back to Idolatry by the youths.
He called on them to use the period in praying for God’s intervention in the series of problems facing the Nigerian Nation.
