Khago — Women Are Unfit For Leadership!

Women must lead nothing. They must lead the pot and the spoon in the kitchen! — Khago. Is that what he will tell his mother and his children’s mother tomorrow on Mother’s Day?

Dancehall artiste Khago believes women are unfit for leadership, arguing that female leaders are easily manipulated by special interests and should stay out of positions of power.

Is this how he thinks of his mother, sisters, daughters, aunts, nieces, and any other female he knows?

Speaking with THE WEEKEND STAR at his Mandeville, Manchester home, Khago declared that women’s involvement in leadership has been the root of many of the world’s problems.

He is right, because if we had united, men wouldn’t be able to maintain and continue to carry out many of the atrocities that have slaughtered billions of humans from the dawn of time. We can stop much of the destruction raging in our world with unity.

Unity is a nuclear power!

For example, what is happening in the US now?

Regrets are raging in hearts, minds, and souls. With unity, Americans could have changed history positively.

All of the past and present dictators had wives and children. What did their wives and children think and say when they became aware of what their husbands and fathers did to millions of innocent women and children worldwide?

What do they discuss over dinner with their children? Or in bed with their wives?

How do these women/wives/mothers sleep knowing that children are dying of hunger, illnesses that need medicine that was denied? Basic necessities are denied in the name of war, religion, greed, power, control, or whatever they can think of.

With unity from all females, we could save the lives of millions of children. The problem is, some mothers can only feel their children’s pain. I can feel the pain of every child, even the ones who use a smile to cover the hell they are enduring.

He further argued that female independence is a myth, insisting that men are naturally the providers and leaders.

His mother was a single parent because his father wasn’t around. Her sacrifices either helped or hindered him. Nine of every ten females I know are single mothers who must be mothers and fathers to their children. Many of his baby mothers are single parents, too. He fathered eight children, not all of the same mother. He can’t be two or three places at the same time.

He said that many young men being raised today are what he calls “hybrid men” — neither fully masculine nor capable of traditional male leadership — and he warned that women’s increasing control over households is fuelling this shift.

With his power of words, he shows our world how unhappy and depressed he is. His words tell that this is what his heart looks like, one devoid of love.

I am so sorry for him. Prayers from a mother’s heart are going his way. He was born in a country with some of the strongest women in the world. Jamaican females raised four, five six or more children on their own and many do a damn good job while fighting poverty. Life doesn’t give many of us any other choice. We must be strong from depths not even pain can reach.

Women here use their innovative imagination and ‘tun you hand mek fashion’ to ensure that their children’s lives are better than theirs. They sacrifice their lives, hopes, and dreams to demand this.

“Tun you hand mek fashion” is a Jamaican Patois saying that means “Use your hands to make something fashionable” or “Be resourceful and creative with what you have”. It emphasizes the ability to create something beautiful or desirable using one’s own skills and available resources, highlighting resourcefulness and innovation.

Many suck salt through wooden spoon, to create a better life for their children. I did, and so did you and billions of other mothers.

The saying “suck salt through a wooden spoon” is a Jamaican proverb that signifies enduring hardship and hardship with resilience, especially in the face of adversity and emotional distress. It describes a situation where someone is forced to tolerate a difficult or unpleasant situation, possibly due to difficult circumstances or emotional pain, without any obvious way out or relief.

And millions of mothers worldwide find a way out and help their children create history. You, I, and billions of other mothers do this daily.

Happy Mother’s Day, mothers, may today be this bbbeeeaaauuutttiiifffuuulll for you.
