We can understand each other by discussing issues like this. I expect both men and women to debate this because 90minutes will change our African culture. Is there a better approach to solving gender relationship in African? Below is an approach from a woman's perpective. Can men help?

Hello, my name is Anyo. I was born and raised in in Northern Uganda. I speak and write Luo fluent. I started an independent research about African culture and tradition four years ago. The research focused on the status of women in Africa, hence, the subject of this project: the AFRICAN GIRL CHILD. There is no institution or single individual who has, to the best of my knowledge, conducted this type of research, which makes this project unique and the first of its kind in the history of women�s struggle against patriarchy. The conclusion of this research was that African wives experience high domestic violence NOT because they are financially dependent but rather because they are mentally underdeveloped, but most important is that African men are aware of an African woman�s mental capacity. They are also aware that this is caused by cultural and traditional teachings. This pro ject is intended to empower African women of all ages with knowledge, not resources. This is knowledge that
is basic but very alien to almost all women. This knowledge is men�s social secret, at least for now. The goal of this project is to give African culture a major facelift but only African women can do this and only when they have full knowledge of this social secret.

A Closer Look @ African Culture and Tradition (Patriarchy)
The African Girl Child
Patriarchy is a culture whose mission is to disable a girl child�s mental development from childhood by replacing our moral conviction (innate beliefs) with culture and tradition and religion so that we are easy to control, use and abuse by men. Patriarchy is a social system designed to suppress a girl child�s mental development so that we are incapable of intellectually performing mental tasks. Patriarchy is a social system that is designed to brainwash girls from childhood so that we neglect ourselves as women and live to care for men�s best interests. Patriarchy is a social system that creates a disproportionately wide gap between boys� and girls� intellectual and mental development (IMD). The African Girl Child�s IMD is severely impaired from childhood because she is coded and programmed with patriarchies acquired and systematically arranged collection of laws that is clearly, as history has proven, disadvantageous to the African Woman (AW). The AW does not have the mental
capability to synthesize information beyond this code.
The African Boy Child�s IMD is not disabled in any way because there is no culture and tradition to replace his innate and very archaic beliefs. This is the reason for the disproportionately wide gap between men and women intellectual ability. Am I saying that African men are much more intellectually advanced than African women? Yes, in terms of basic gender interaction and or relationship. The African woman�s mental growth, independence and freedom is retarded from childhood because she is programmed not to comprehend information beyond patriarchy (culture and tradition), which is social system designed to take care of men�s interests. This is the reason African men do not want to abolish this ruthless social system. This is the reason African women are so easily controlled, so easily used and so easily abused at such an alarming rate.
With so many women in Africa who are very mentally and intellectually underdeveloped, in comparison to their male age mates, I can safely define Africa�s current social system as "A culture that gives individual men maximum authority to socially, mentally, physically and sexually control, torture, use, abuse, demoralize and immobilize and mistreat African women with no limitations. It happens every day in Africa because there is no culture to replace and/or suppress men's innate behavior from childhood so t hat they are more loving/caring and less violent towards women. In other words, there is no culture to interfere with a boy�s mental development.

90 Minutes
90 minutes will educate African women about a girl�s mental (brain) development and how culture and tradition interferes with this basic human right.
90 minutes is intended to maximize the African Girl Child�s and woman's mental and intellectual development by empowering her with knowledge that is, at the moment, a social secret for the �privileged� few. 90 minutes will offer her a culture that is rich with knowledge of womanhood. This is knowledge that women have been denied for many generations so that we are easy to control, use and abuse by men. 90 minutes is intended to empower African women of all ages. 90 minutes will educate the African man and redefine the status of the African woman as a wife, mother, companion and a lover. I hope that 90 minutes will pr oduce a lot of loving and very dedicated wives but none to use and abuse at will. But first an African woman needs knowledge.
As a candidate, you will translate a 90 minute (audio or written) very academic message that will educate Africans and redefine the status of the African wife as mother, lover and companion.
Candidates will have the opportunity to debate 90 minutes with the author/narrator and other African women.
Together, we can make a difference.
