    About this ebook

    For most of us, we see the president’s wife as just a member of the President’s family. However, when we look deeper, these women who stand beside their husbands can be the making or the unmaking of our nations. A way-ward man can be tamed by a woman who he knows is his wife. Some policies are generated in the president’s bedrooms and end up in cabinet rooms to become national policies! Perhaps the most valued question a first lady should have is what her services would have done to society before the exit of her husband from office. The position of a first lady gives a despairing people the hope of the strength of family life. Her face should feature love, peace and hope. The husband on the other hand is a dealer in hard core issues, he cannot be the face of hope only, and sometimes he is the face of despair. The man president sometimes has so much blood in his hands he cannot be the face of hope. A Mother-First-Lady is the face of her country in the future!

    Author

    Will Anthony, Jr

    Will Anthony Jr. is currently the Chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Land Control Board which caters for over one million people. Before this stint, he worked in other capacities with the National government. He has also been lecturer in three religious institutions, a service to the youth to gather knowledge from the aging population. In his life time, Will Anthony Jr. says he has met a lot of people and can unflinchingly say that he loved most of them. Why most of them? Well, it is a tall order to love everyone you meet! Will Anthony Jr. has written several e-books touching on diverse subjects that relate to society. The books extensively cover human social and economic practices and this is so because expertise in one field in Africa can become a drudgery according to his practical view. His perception is that if you were born in Africa and the continent is your aboriginal home, you are likely to have English as your second language (ESL). Sometimes it could even be a third language. For him, he had to learn his mother tongue then learn both English and Swahili simultaneously. He went to his pre-primary bare foot, later he joined the local primary school 5 Km away and had to trek barefoot again not because his parents could not buy him shoes but because cobblers were a rare find. That journey was a daily toil of 10 Km, 5 days in a week or ~270 days yearly for 7 years. With a smirk he says that when you achieve a PhD in Africa, then You have done Plenty of hard Digging (PhD) or you have a Permanent head Damage (PhD) and you might end up in a ditch because your IQ cannot contain the booze like the local fellas!"Why did the English colonize Africa?" To keep the African languages in Czech (check), and he says that one must forgive this pun. But besides the pun, English has broken both social and economic barriers of the once "dark continent" whose forefathers slaved the white farms and firms to lace the pockets of their Lords.A PhD holder in Africa will still practice other 'trades' though they maybe 'very' learned because poverty is shameless, one has to draw bounds through plenty of smart work or else, it will be a shame to steal so as to maintain class.He published a book in 1992, but the publisher coned him , he took her to court and the case aged in judicial corridors for 12 years. He then made a decision to abandon the matter and to forget about writing books. However, Self publishing made him to change that decision. More than anything, He salutes Smashwords Inc. for the platform.In retrospect, He recalls a Dr. Alfred Sam, a friend of his from North America who was also a dean of studies in a local university, exposing his white ass in the university's auditorium to catch attention. The noise ceased as students and lecturers turned to look at the grown-up man on the podium doing the abominable. Well, the good Dr. in anthropology then simply pulled up his trousers buckled the belt and said, "Thank You, now I have your attention..."For the sake of simplicity, without much display of academia, Will Anthony Jr. is a writer in the global village market . For this, he Salutes all his readers and all lovers of written work. In a word of caution, he says that men and women alike must bear. In reference, there is an Ibo saying that every market place has it's mad people who will attempt to mar the business of the seemingly sane people. On the other hand, the English say everyone is mad, it's only the degree madness that is at variance. Salutes most profoundly!

      INTRODUCTION

      Without doubt, to become a First Lady is to step into a role that is subject to public scrutiny; whether that role is formal or informal. Some First Ladies have found themselves in the news for all the wrong reasons — prolific holidays and shopping sprees abroad, corruption and/or doing everything possible, even to the extremes, to ensure their husbands remain in power. Considerably, there is joy for the woman to ride in the power of her husband; however, sometimes these women tend to want to create another centre of power in the domestic scenario.
