A RIGHT GAINED FINALLY

In global village in the South West part of Sierra Leone,girls used to be refused the freedom of learning. Early in the crack of dawn,you would find them grinding maize and pounding yams,going to the river and preparing 'fufu' while boys used to wake up,find hot water,bathe and live for school. Girls used to be told that they were born to get married which disgusted Bintu a young determined girl who thought it as an abomination. She was assaulted and whipped thoroughly when she said she wanted to learn and not marry a rich chief who was sixty two years of age at only twelve years. She ran away from home and was never seen. After twenty two years a BMW was stopped infront of Maki's house,she could not believe her eyes,when she saw Bintu,dressed to kill and looking gorgeous. She explained that she went to the city where she was given a scholarship and started up to university level and she had her fiance with her,everyone was amazed when she said she would sponsor all the girls to school.
