Affording a quality education for a girl child in Igbo land is no longer seen as a waste of resources. The Ideology is far outlived today. It has been proven that an empowered Female is even as responsible and productive to both self and society at large. Today, many things in that aspect have changed and are still changing, some for good while some ain't.

I remember my parents being scorned for entrusting all her daughters to tertiary education, wasting so much resources and time on their girl children who would afterall live a voiceless life under a man's roof. Moreover, no man would want to bring a knowledgeable woman home because they are not easily controlled. That is to say that a girl who is educated will eventually become "otonaka nne". 'Otonaka nne' is a phrase used to tag a girl no one wants take for a wife. By the way, successfully getting one's daughter to be married off was the biggest challenge/ achievement for the girl's family and the girl herself. In fact, it's basically her life goal. Although today the idea of marriage as a girl's life goal has not completely changed but the pressure is quite subsidized and that is a progressive turnout. I have always wondered whoever inscribed that law of marriage/single-hood as a tool for measuring and rating of either capability or irresponsibility.
