A squaw – she is a lady, a woman, a queen, a princess, infact, she is priceless!
This piece is dedicated to every woman who is diligently pursuing excellence in all her life’s endeavors, also to my mother, Mrs. Orie Ben Ijere, for all her love and for instilling in me the drive to pursue excellence, in addition, my phenominal cousin, Mrs. Nina Ikechi; you are indeed a woman and a half!
How awesome, fearfully and wonderfully made women are!
God took some time to make every human being and even more to mold a woman, a virtuous woman, and so for this reason, we as women must show forth the light of Him who has created us. I believe that evey woman is powerful beyond measure and that there are great deposits in everyone of us waiting to be tapped into.
The Virtuously Empowered Squaw is part of a book that I am currently working on, excitedly, and in talking about a virtuous woman, Proverbs 30:10-31 does an awesome job in giving a very descriptive image of this woman. She has some great qualities that we as women must aspire to be like, knowing that we are all a work in progress and that everyday presents an opportunity for us to live out these attributes! Below are 15 of some of her great attributes and character:
She is Priceless
She is a Great Homemaker / Wife
She is a Successful Business Woman
She is Hardworking and dislikes idleness
She is Seeks to be Prosperous
She is Strong
She is a Leader
She is Generous and Caring
She is Elegant
She is Proactive
She is Full of Wisdom / A Teacher
She is an Effective Mother
She is Excellent in her pursuit
She is Favored
She Fears the Lord
If you’ve got one around you, do not hesitate to celebrate her, her price is indeed above rubies… Feel free to give a ”shout out” to one that you know on this blog and let her know that you did
Stay tuned for more…
Virtuously empowered to empower!

Mrs Theresa Ejiasa Asanaeneng that proved it to me that there exists women that can stick to their husbands through thick and thin.
The my greatest friend Amaka Ngozi Okoro that never gave up on me even when I departed.
Amaka Dominion that has been a source of strength and focus. And such wonderful laughter.
Blessing Jaja that made my recovery from Meningitis a FRUITful experience.
Rita Okoro I still think you have the coolest voice ever. Hope you make it on TV.
Nnaomi the Nurse: I believe you were a vessel God chose to use to save my life during my illness.
Finally to Nina Ijere, I tell every lady I see struggling about your success and how they can benefit from your activity. Keep up the Good work. You are touching lives.

When it comes to women I cherish, admire and owe a lot of credit to, I will pen down My Mother Orie Ben Ijere and My sister Nina Ijere. My mother engraved the following in me
Life, its variables and absolutes should not be rationalized on just a black and white Plato but more of Grey
Everyone understands the basic idea of right and wrong irrespective of its relativity and as such never dwell on gratification from anyone
The world will not wait on you, you either stay put or join the hustle of the wagon
You have total control of your emotions if you chose
your experiences is a function of your exposure

Hello Nina, actually, I do have a number of wonderful women who have also affected my life so greatly. Firstly, Mrs Nwagu M.Obasi (may her soul rest in peace) was my third grannie.She made me understand the basics of English language.I remember back in the days when we would play scrabble for hours. I wasn’t up to ten then but she would play the game with such caution and concentration as though we were equals…’twas great fun and I learnt a whole lot from her.
Then, Auntie Cee Omoji, mum’s best friend….I’ll never forget your pretty face and that lovely smile. How you gently called my name “Chief” …. Oh! Such tenderness, I’ll never forget. Esther Ogba, thanks for being such a beautiful friend.
To all women working to achieve success, may the light and favor of God shine upon you.
