Austrian
born Nigerian model and actress, Lydia Nnenna Obute, has expressed her
observations that lots of African women are craving for men that are already
living large, without wanting to develop themselves.
According to
her, she admitted that African women are living their dream, but shocks her to
see the way women just plan their lives into men’s heart without even knowing
how the man has suffered to get to that point.
“African
women are living their dreams? To be honest, I see a lot of African women
craving for men that are already living large. They just plan their lives into
those men’s lifestyles. I was raised by a mother who is very strong and she
also runs a restaurant in Vienna. The women around me are mostly strong and I
think that is what every woman needs to grow up with, being around strong women
who can serve as role models to other young women.,” she urged.
Lydia
revealed that her reason for coming back to Nigeria and one of her greatest
achievement, was to give back to the society and in a few weeks she and her
team were planning to visit some schools here in Nigeria with the 'Back To
School project' which is her proposed initiative she hopes to execute.
"Any
time,I come to Nigeria with my family, it’s always about family on vacation.
So, this time around, I decided to come back home on my own. It’s also about
giving back to society, and being more involved in the things that concerns my
roots. I thought the best way to do that will be working with kids. I love
working with kids and I thought it will be a nice idea to go to schools and
impact on the students not just with gifts, but also, with such skills that
will help to equip them ahead of future challenges," she stated.
"I find
it appalling when children do not have access to education. In the Austrian
tradition, when kids are going back to school, they are being equipped with a
pack of gifts which contain educational materials they will need in school. So,
I am thinking of sharing a lot of the Back To School bags in schools," she
disclosed.
