Mauritius First Female President Dr
Ameenah Gurib-Fakim Muslim.
An NGO issued her a credit card
for use in her work for the NGO. According to the newspaper, she was given the
card for serving as the NGO's unpaid director and it was to be used to pay for
the promotion of a doctorate program named after the president.
Some credit cards look
alike. Her mistake was she took the NGO’s credit card to shop to the tune
of $26,000, she has refunded all of the said $26,000 to the NGO, Planet Earth
Institute yet the men insist in kicking her out. Not considering the
compassion, she is somebody’s wife and mother of 3 kids. She was on TV and was
called a “man” she retorted thus “you called me a man? You have just demoted
me”.
In Nigeria the women say if you
call them men you promote them “His Lordship” “Sir” to a female Judge Other
jurisdictions say the exact opposite. “Her Ladyship” “Her Lordship” “Her
Worship” “Your Honor”
Let’s call a man a man and a
woman a woman even if we took same professional titles or suffix.
