My response to a post on Edo Political Forum on the issue of hair plaiting  I was at the University of Benin Alumni office the other day where I saw an extraordinarily beautiful lady, a tall 23 years Queen walked proudly into the office with plaited hair. I thanked her for her courage to be proudly African in the mist of colonization. I will want the ministry of culture to declare a cultural day, just take any day and just go to the streets and give money to any woman that plait her hair. It will be difficult to come by but the are out there.
