Many thanks to Felicia Okonkwo and the entire KonnectAfrica team for initiating this competition. I was touched to see entries recognising and appreciating mums. Though we are seeing only the top five entries, I’m sure all the women nominated are amazing. We salute them all. I wish, KonnectAfrica team that we could read all the entries.
Well,so women who stood in their unfavorable marriages,not considering divorce an option,should not be encouraged. This is simply,AMAZING.
