It's estimated that between 114 million women around the world experience female genital circumcision. The ritual is life-threatening, makes child bearing extremely painful and there are traumatic experiences attached to it. The root of this is based on culture. Is it then a crime to be born a female?, must I wallow in limitations because of cultural values? Should my human rights be infringed upon based on my gender. Culture to me should be an element of appreciation. Oh culture, u definitely can't limit me, can u please be enhanced. I do love cultural values at least it makes me to appreciate the fact that variety is the spice of life. I walk, live and act out according to God's purpose for my gender. Let my mind be renewed based on God's word for my gender not on cultural beliefs. Christ is my standard not culture.

  Football fans are surely still reeling from the effects of the shock results of the group stage matches where Germany (second seeds) and Brazil were sent packing from the competition they had previously been touted favorites for. Debutants Morocco seem to be looking to emulate their male counterparts after the latter’s exploits at the men’s edition late last year saw them break multiple records on their way to the semifinal, where they lost to eventual runners-up France. For the first time, there are three African nations in the knockout rounds, a stat that is sure to be broken in years to come, judging by the wonderful performance each of them has displayed so far. This tournament surely has more surprises up its sleeves, and we are here to revel in every bit of it. The first match in the knockout rounds sees Group A toppers Switzerland take on possession-hungry Spain at Eden Park, the same venue that hosted the first match of the tournament.
