How does one make the case for the education of Africa’s but more
importantly, the Nigerian Girl Child today – except to show the result
of what such a step can do in a girls life. In this day and age when the
world’s attention is focused on more than 200 girls kidnapped from
Northern Nigeria while getting an education, the best way to convince
those who oppose their education in the first place, is to show a Girl,
who because she is educated and is still being educated, is taking on
the world – literarily.
11 year old Zuriel Oduwole, who has now interviewed and met 1 in 6 of
Africa 54 Presidents and Prime Ministers, former Presidents like Jerry
Rawlings of Ghana, business leaders like Aliko Dangote, and global civil
rights icon Jesse Jackson, has now added 2 more world leaders to her
very impressive list.
The Prime Minister of St Vincent & Grenadines + Prime Minister of St Kitts & Nevis
She has now met with the Prime Minister of the Caribbean country of
St Vincent & The Grenadines – H.E. The Honorable Ralph Gonsalves, as
well as the Prime Minister of the Caribbean country of St Kitts &
Nevis, H.E. The Right Honorable Dr. Denzil Douglas. A few months ago,
she met with and interviewed the only female Prime Minister in the
Caribbean region; H.E. The Most Honorable Portia Simpson Miller of
Jamaica.
Aside of the issues of Girls Education in their countries, other
subjects she talked about with these leaders include their relationship
with the African continent, and how their economies are developing in
the technology and digital age.
Zuriel Oduwole’s goals are to inspire the African Girl Child now
through her Dream Up, Speak Up, Stand Up program and become a Robotics
Engineer, but when she becomes older, she would like to become President
herself.
Without education, these goals would be a very, very daunting
journey. Were the Chibok school girls so wrong to get an education? Were
they so wrong to have dreams?
