As you learn this piece, I received’t be shocked if that is the primary time you’re listening to concerning the Sky Ladies. Though it could appear innocent now, however some Islamic clerics have accused it of selling gender equality, Lesbianism and homosexuality in Nigeria.

Non secular leaders are suspicious of the actions of Western governments and Foundations in Nigeria. Their suspicion is just not with out cause. The US and the Western world have vowed to do the whole lot humanly doable to vary us from the human species of female and male as created by God to Lesbians and gays.

In their very own knowledge, they see us as primitive individuals and out of contact with modernity, believing that we should assimilate into the dominant and “superior” Western tradition to be acknowledged as civilized. They’re utilizing each means to induce us to throw away our values and embrace their bizarre ideologies, methods of life, considering and unusual values. A lot of the so-called particular affords, help and even the loans they offer us include strings hooked up to them. Little by little, they’re succeeding of their plan as a result of they management the financial system of the world and instrument of energy which they apply anytime it fits them.

What is that this Sky ladies that everyone is speaking about? The Continuously Requested Questions (FAQs) on the web site of the motion states that Sky Ladies is a neighborhood of teenybopper ladies who’re all about being true to themselves and what they imagine in. Promoters of the motion assist ladies who’re curious about connecting to discover a neighborhood and uncover themselves by means of social media, at occasions, in communities, in faculties and with the motion’s partaking magazines.

From the pledges of the members to the doctrines of the motion, one will perceive that “The Ladies,” as they fondly name themselves, function like a sinister and cult-like group that requires pledges from new members. The pledges they put up on their websites are a number of innocuous statements that look good and interesting. Past that, nonetheless, there are suspiciously different morally reprehensible issues they do backstage. They’ve secret codes they use to determine one another in public. These codes are a lot refined than individuals think about. In Nigeria for instance, The Ladies put on sure hand bangles as an emblem to determine members.

The viral vedio of a Muslim cleric telling a congregation of Muslim devoted that his daughter introduced copies of the magazines to the home caught the eye of the puplic. Whereas displaying 2 copies of the magazines, he mentioned, ” for those who learn the magazines, you’d shed tears,” which means that the contents are detestable. The brief clip of his lecture was aired on Salinga TV on fb. He disclosed that members are suggested to maintain their membership of the motion secret from their dad and mom.

As one of many stakeholder of a schooI that organised a reception to honour college students who dedicated the Qur’an to reminiscence in Kano, the cleric mentioned, seven lady from among the many celebrants confessed their membership of Sky Ladies, a lot to the chagrin of their dad and mom and academics.

The motion which was based and funded by the Melinda Gates Basis together with worldwide media companies has been working in Botswana, Ghana, Zambia, Kenya, and Cote d’Ivoire for a while. Sky Ladies says it has now moved to Nigeria, the nation I name its regional money cow and launchpad “to achieve extra teenage ladies throughout Africa and assist “them make higher selections.” You may surprise which of the ethical viruses they provide is healthier alternative and why ladies are the targets of this motion.

The hid which means behind the motion in Nigeria is the deliberate suppression of our indigenous artwork, literature, style, dance, movie, media, and lifestyle in favor of Western in style tradition. By the point they strip us of the final vestiges of our tradition and values and deploy the ability of the greenback and affect of recent data and communication at their disposal, nothing can be left of our morale and identification.

Whereas we’re sleeping, questionable and harmful worldwide our bodies are focusing on our ladies on the prime age of 13 to 19 in our junior and senior secondary faculties. In accordance with Sky Ladies, the age between 13 to 19 “is a interval of a lady’s life the place she wants supportive neighborhood to assist her discover herself and keep true to her values.” What this implies is that teenage ladies are probably the most weak age to focus on for psychological enslavement. And psychological slavery is a well-entrenched agenda which America and the west have been utilizing to manage our minds and use us as a dumping floor for his or her poisonous behaviours.

It doesn’t matter whether or not one is a Muslim or Christian. The assault is focused at each Christian and Muslim ladies. Now could be the time to talk in unison as Nigerians and inform the world that we’ve values and conscience, and that the lady baby in Nigeria represents these values we a lot cherished. No accountable dad and mom, Muslims or christians, will enable their daughter to affix this satanic motion.

I’m nervous concerning the threats of the Sky Ladies motion to our values and our daughters in faculties. I have to be nervous due to the swollen reputation of the motion amongst ladies in Nigeria.

Indications are that our daughters, our treasured angels and the coolness of our eyes will quickly cease considering like human beings and accountable ladies who’ve excessive regards for chastity. We are going to attain a degree the place our daughters will completely reject the injunctions of our creeds and values in distinction to the Western way of life. They’re set to suppose like dummies or robots being remotely managed by somebody someplace in America, Europe, or right here at residence by their native brokers. Gate and Melinda Basis disguise beneath the duvet of selling freedom of speech and affiliation, philanthropy and good trigger to not directly promote a tradition of nudity and same-sex relationship amongst ladies in Nigeria.

If the Gate and Melinda basis actually needs to help the 13 to 19 years outdated ladies in Nigerian, they need to assist them to go to highschool and get educated, and prepare them to study life abilities.

Nigeria is focused as the long run headquarters of Sky ladies in Africa as a result of there are tens of millions of prepared recruits all around the nation. These days, immorality, wide-spread disrespect to custom, irreligion, flouting the norms and rules that information decorum amongst youths are the order of the day in our communities.

Let’s open our eyes. There are a number of wealthy and highly effective NGOs working beneath the guise of advocacy teams and good trigger. Disturbingly, a few of them are affiliated with spiritual organizations they usually disguise beneath the duvet of faith to unfold irreligion and ethical debasement amongst our youths.

Thus, the onus is on each household to intently Scrutinize their daughters at residence and within the college. The Authorities, College authorities, Dad and mom Academics Associations and different related stakeholders in training on the Federal and Sub-levels have to be on alert to detect early indicators of suspicious behaviours amongst college students to guard the Nigerian ladies from ethical decline and degeneracy.
