Considering the role of women in families and our society, a Nigerian
entrepreneur, lawyer and a season book writer, Orezi Saint Emamezi has
advised the government at all levels to commence women empowerment in the
country as a matter of urgency to reduce unemployment rate among Nigerian
women.
Emamezi who has written many books with the recent one Victoria stresses
the need for women empowerment as is practices in advanced countries.
According to her, the easiest way to reduce poverty in families and our society
is to properly empower women, saying that if you empower a woman, you have
empowered a nation.

Continuing, she said that government can help women through skill acquisition
programmes to ensure they become self relient and that can also help them
launch into large scale businesses nationally and internationally. “This can be
done through grants and all is geared towards creating employment among
women.”
Saint Emamezi who is presently studying her LLM programme said that
developing entrepreneurship skills and reading culture help any economy to
grow and if Nigeria as a nation will imbibe on this culture better for the
country.
Speaking on her passion for writing, as an entrepreneur and lawyer, she said
when she was young, she loved reading books that were inspiring, motivational
such as Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie, and also tell a good story.
Emamezi confessed that the book gave her initial inspiration to take interest in
writing, while her passion for writing is driven by the need to develop the
Nigeria child and make him or her responsible person in the family and society.
On her book, “Victoria”, she said is her first book which is a story of a young
girl in her teens, who faces life challenges right inside her family, and her
father is quite the lazy man, who does nothing more than visit friends or sit at
home doing nothing while her troublesome mother fights to make ends meet in
her home. You will have to read “Victoria” to find out what happened to her
and her family.
According to her the book is to inspire the reader, particularly children within
Victoria’s age not to give up and to also know that they can change their story
if they believe. Stressing the importance of reading culture in the country, she
agreed that one of the ways to improve the reading culture in Nigeria is by
introducing reading clubs in the nursery, elementary and basic levels of
education. “Also there is the need for school administrators to include reading
classes in the curriculum of education. The family too should play a role in
improving the reading culture of the children; the parents can make out
specific time to read with their children daily”.
As part of her contribution to empower teens, she initiated Elmore Christo kids
club which she said is a project she was inspired to establish for the benefit of
children in the age of three to eighteen years of age. “It is my way of helping
kids find their purpose in life. I also established it in the loving memory of my
mother, Mrs. Ajiri Pearl Emamezi. She always loved to take care of children and
invest in them as the women leader in the Anglican Communion (Diocese of
Western Izon). So by establishing the Elmore Christo kids club, I am continuing
from where my mum left off.
