Welcome to Mrs! I know what you are thinking and I dare say you are wrong. This is not some blog to extol the "Mrs" status, rather it is aimed at shinning the light on a truly dark or should I say grey area. I first stumbled on the most ridiculous use of the word "Mrs" in one of the least unlikely places, the house fellowship. Yes i said it, The House fellowship, or Home cell fellowship, as it is usually called depending on the denomination. It is a small gathering of Christians in a home to share the Bible and to pray together. It fosters a sense of belonging, oneness and support as lives are usually touched through such gatherings.

Anyway, back to my story. It was at one of such esteemed gatherings that I first came across the most ridiculous definition of the terminology "Mrs". Mrs was defined as most respectable in society. I could not believe what I had just heard. Questions brewed in my mind, all of them unanswered of course. What does this mean? That those who are not "lucky" enough to be in the "Mrs" group are not respectable? Perhaps not respectable enough for society. Can this be the reason why young women would maim or kill and subject themselves to all sort of denigrating human behaviour, just so they can belong to this "respectable" class of women?

Well, that is my dilemma and also my motivation for creating this blog. I hope to establish a unique platform for open-minded discussions, so that we can all educate ourselves on what is truly important, on what life is really about. Is life for a woman just about getting married? Is a husband a trophy or a reward for good behaviour? I know you will not ALL agree with me and as such I expect opposition and debate. In fact, in all honesty, I am looking forward to it. It will only make this journey of liberating the African mind, a little more interesting for me.

However, I hope we can embark on this journey together...
