“Many of the officials kept wondering why I had delayed my education until I had five children. I cannot remember how many times I said, “But look, Madam, when we scream in labour pains in the wards, we do not scream away our brains. The brains are still there intact. We have babies with another part of our anatomy, not through our brains, and having education does not mean that one has to be child-free.” #authorof20+books #BuchiEmecheta
