Word Communication Ministries (WOCOM) and the convener of the Unique Women Conference, Reverend Omowumi Popoola, has advised women to rise up and take their rightful places in nation building, especially from their respective homes.
She gave the adviced at the 31st edition of the ‘Unique Women Conference’ with the theme,:”Nation Builders,” Onireke, Ibadan, Oyo State
In her statement, Mrs Popoola stated that any nation that wants to achieve a meaningful development must allow its women to play significant roles in the scheme of things.
She said that women constitute the largest part of any country and if that aspect is not well developed, the nation cannot come to its maximum fulfillment.
In her words:“If we don’t get it right in this aspect, then everything will be turned upside down. We must focus and put lay emphasis on women championing and developing leadership through the home,” she said.
She charged women to influence their husbands and children positively, saying that “if you don’t have the opportunity to lead at the National Assembly or become a CEO of a company, please use the opportunity you have as a wife, mother and woman to influence your children so that they can be wholly formed and be great leaders of tomorrow.”
In her sermon entitled: ‘Finding Your Place in Nation Building’ at the conference, Reverend Folake Achudume of the Victory Life Church said that nation builders are people who are ready to make sacrifices for truth and honour.
She encouraged women to have faith in God to be able to build a godly home and to raise godly children in these difficult days and times.
