He challenged the women folks to show more love and care to themselves rather than always pulling themselves down for non-issues activities.

The Lagos state arts and culture department dramatized a play that the father of the two children one boy and one girl from the on the set the two children went to school, but one day their father came back drunk and announced to his spouse and his daughter that her education would be halted. 

The little lass wept to high heavens, but, her weeping, fell on her father’s deaf ears. But, her mother assured her that for as long as she is alive, she her daughter must be heavily educated while her husband focused on his son for better education. The son graduated from university and got a well paid job and as well as got married and began to raise his own family, while his sister through the efforts of their mother graduated from the university and also got a good job. 

As their was aging, he took ill and he called his son for financial support, but, very sadly his son treated him with 20 foot pole and the old man began to feel sorry for himself, at this juncture his daughter came in with uncommon wealth, yet, because, of love she still has for her father, she assisted her father with all he needed to live well and she told the gathering that they should all be Awake from their sumber and embrace education of girl child adding that where a boy is trained, an Individual is trained, but, when a woman is trained a nation is trained. The drama ended happily with the girl child and her mother who sold her wrappers to make sure her daughter is educated.
