Nigerian Women and their Perception of Miraculous
Keywords:
miraculous perception, WomenAbstract
There seems to be something of the divine in women when it comes to being committed to issues. Once they are convinced, they can spend and be spent without counting the cost. This is the fruit of their God-given tenderness as mothers. However, if by error a woman gets committed to a wrong issue or wrongly committed to a right issue, then there will be disaster because normally they are unstoppable. Using a critical and expository philosophical approach, the paper turns its searchlight towards the typical Nigerian women’s attitude towards their perception the miracle.
