A particpant waves the Ghana flag during the Winneba Masquerade Festival in Winneba, Ghana on New Year’s Day 2010.

Lydia Olufisayomi Olanrewaju, known as the artiste pHisayo (pronounced “fee-sah-yoh,”), is a Nigerian poet and singer from Abeokuta in Ogun state Nigeria.

Olufisayomi was born in Kaduna Nigeria to a Carpenter father and a seamstress mother. She inherited her love for crafting from both parents. Her mother would design with cloth as beautifully as her father would craft with wood.

She chose words as her crafting raw material, but still loves being surrounded by wood and loves poring through fashion designing blogs and magazines to stay connected to her childhood days when she could run happily between the swathes of clothes in her mother’s shop into the heady soul lifting smells of sawed wood and shavings in her father’s work shed.

As the fifth of seven children, she didn’t have the pressures her older siblings had to deal with, of setting any positive examples to worry about. She was allowed to roam within the wild fields of her imagination without disturbance. And she thrived at exploring the world through the pages of all the books she could find to read, including the dictionary! Her Songs and poems mirror parts of her adventures as she tries to capture them and set them to words or music.

Her latest work, collaboration with Tony the Emperor titled “O tojo Meta” is enjoying positive feedback and airplay across continents.

pHisayo is working with a team of inspired producers- on her debut album which she promises will have ‘something for everyone’. It will be clear from the album, that she is strongly influenced by traditional classical music as well as rock, pop, dance-hall and even folk.

CAMEROON – AFRICA IN MINATURE

1. CULTURE & LANGUAGES: Only officially bilingual country in Africa – French and English, the two key of the international languages.

Despite this international endowment, Cameroon also boasts 230 languages. These include 55 Afro-Asiatic languages, two Nilo-Saharan languages, and 173 Niger-Congo languages. This latter group is divided into one West Atlantic language (Fulfulde), 32 Adamawa-Ubangui languages, and 142 Benue-Congo languages (130 of which are Bantu languages). This manifests in a very vibrant culture expressed in many forms including a large and extremely diverse food menu, and musical and dance forms.

2. SPORTS – Football; four times winners of the African Nations Cup – 1984, 1988, 2000, 2002, and gave Roger Mila to the world at the 1990 world cup – the first African team to make the quarter finals of the world cup; Cameroon competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. The men’s football team won the nation’s first ever Olympic gold medal.

3. GEOGRAPHY & WILD LIFE – Flora and Fauna; Cameroon encapsulates all the flora and fauna types of Africa, with desert to the north, savanna and rolling grassland hills to the mid region, thick tropical rain forest further down, and unique golden beaches, and black sand volcanic beach.

It harbours one of the last vestiges of genuine rainforest in Africa – Korup National Park, where an episode of Tarzan was filmed, and was visited by Prince Charles and Lady D Cameroon also has the tallest mountain in Central and West Africa – Mount Fako at 4072m situated by the town of Buea

Cameroon boasts the big five; buffalo, lion, elephant, rhinoceros and leopard. It also has gorilla, giraffe, crocodile, primates, etc, rare birds – including the bald picathartes, and the largest bull frog in the world called the Goliath Frog (Conraua goliath)

4. FOOD; Cameroon has more variety of food than any other African nation. It is one of a handful of countries globally where you are either planting or harvesting something twelve months in the year non-stop. The famous slang is that ‘Chop Dey’ meaning there is food in abundance. The roast fish speciality ‘poison braissee’ (monica) served with fried plantains, is well known.

5. INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES: Availability of numerous natural resources (oil, gas, bauxite, gold,…) and agricultural products (coffee, cocoa, cotton, bananas, pineapple, rubber, palm oil, etc …) and a bilingual human resource pool boasting one of the largest educated and bilingual youth population in the world. Cameroon is connected to The Commonwealth of Nations, The Francophonie, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Group 77, Non-Aligned Movement, African Union, Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) – 200m people, and the Economic & Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) – 37m people.

.Gender equality also known as gender egalitarianism or equality of the genders, is of the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and not to be discriminated against based on their gender. This is one of the objectives of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which seeks to create equality in law and in social situations, such as in democratic activities and securing equal pay for equal work. In practice, the objective of gender equality is for people to acquire, if they so choose, equal treatment throughout the society, not just in politics, the workplace, or any other policy designated sphere.

World bodies have defined gender equality in terms of human rights, especially women’s rights and economic development. UNICEF describes that gender equality “means that women and men, boys and girls, enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities and protections. It does not require that girls and boys, or women and men, be the same or that they be treated exactly alike.

While the world has achieved progress towards gender equality and women’s empowerment under the millennium development goals (including equal access to primary education between boys and girls), women and girls continue to suffer discrimination and violence in every part of the world.

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.

Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large.

The youth could help in promoting gender equality by helping to:

 End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls in Africa.

 Eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.

 Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation.

 Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision making in all works of life.

 Enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology, to promote the empowerment of women.

 Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels.

“On the average, women in the labour market earn 24% less than men globally.

In Conclusion

The youths, making up majority of the populace can make their voice heard in tackling this issue and curbing it totally. We have seen cases of women who are doing great things in the world and making an impact in the society, with the likes of Hillary Clinton of America, Dr, Okonjo Iweala to mention a few, we also have for the first time in the UAE a female allowed to contest for a parliament position which has never happened. Let’s join hands in achieving this goal and eradicating gender inequality in our society and continent at large.
