    It's clear challenge that our women have not yet take initially stage on how to overwhelm Illiteracy among themselves and prioritize children education when the men are busy on political struggling for power.
    Hence, it's very unfortunate to have situation in our country while other world are competing on development progression.
    Let's condone any impurity against each other and work hard towards nation buildings in order to disrupt such shame unhelpful situation within us.
