Just after a quick look at table 1 it is evident that the total number of Christians in the nation has fallen dramatically, going from the 88.2 % of 1996 to the 52.1% of fifty years later.

A mother should play the key role but what happens when this role is confused with a very spiritual role? Where will a young girl turn to when her life goes against the rules society has set for her?

Change is inevitable. It’s probably one of the only things in life that we cannot stop or prevent.
