She said she planned to pursue her campaign through the courts and would ultimately go to the African Court of Justice if necessary.

"I have received a lot of threats. Some were outright death threats. But I have faith, and I believe that I will die the day that I am meant to die," she said.

    Being rebellious doesnt add any value to anyone. It sheer arrogance and theatrics.

    This is not fair. Why is it that men think they can do whatever they want and women can't. That is very discriminitive.

    Why do men feel thy have the authority to dictate what a woman should dress in,say where she can or can't go? I am a man and I find this pathetic. How about women have the same power to determine what men can wear,when they can speak,where they can go? This has nothing to do with religion-men use religion as cover for their evil.
