Anyo
First and
foremost I want to thank you for your AGC research. It is my hope that you have statistics
from the entire continent and have a well understanding of cultural and
traditional values of the African Child Girl. Otherwise, I am yet to be informed how
the negative portrayal of this African Child Girl, who is mentally
underdeveloped due to innate beliefs.
It is also
interesting in your summary to note that you mention religion as one of the tools
used, besides culture. As the
debate, interviews goes on, I hope to learn where we draw a line among African
women who lack the financial resources and the Western woman who has the
resources to even have her own church or her own religion, but still cannot
hold certain titles both in Christianity and Islam. Religions seem to give women a backstage
and the male taking both center and fore stage. You will agree with me that the religion
tool is universal and not only applicable to AGC.
I also want
to know whether you included the knife in your research when it comes to
mutilating the African Girl Child, this would give the research a greater
publicity. This will awaken the
female circumcisers and stop mutilating the African woman. Paradoxically, women
seem to be in concert with men to further torture the already mentally
underdeveloped young female.
Albeit, it
will take another research to show that it is not only the African Girl Child,
but it is the Universal Girl Child.
In China, it is near suicide to bear girls, In USA, women just got
their voting rights and society forces them to legally marry only men. In Saudi Arabia, they cannot drive or dress as they wish, but the Karimojong African Girl Child is free to bear it all.

Subject: [Ugnet] Introduction:
Project-African Women
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.
