If I had not being so afraid of the turbulence up there in the sky, I would have discussed having an International Women's Day celebration in the sky aboard Air France plane with the cabin crew. It would have being fun, I would have still got the opportunity to anchor the very programme I missed in Nigeria due to Air France big fault! Well, missing a plane is better than losing a life! Air France had to do what they had to do to prevent crashing again, so I understand but then it pained me that I still missed the event that made me schedule my flight back to Nigeria from the 55th Commission on the Status of Women's events at the UN in New York.
I could just have started something in the plane to commemorate the day; that I have reasons to
be thankful for days like this. Thankful that there are many feminists and women's rights defenders and activists that have made remarkable differences and contributions all over the world to change the status of women for better, to campaign and fight for the rights of women, to advocate and work for existence of many laws and policies for the protection of women and girls. Thankful for the support of many men that are advocating for the advancement of women and soliciting for better treatment of women in the society. Thankful also that many remarkable landmarks of achievements had being made and that many will still be achieved against all odds.Happy 100th International Women's Day to you all.
