maclatunji: Errrr... don't start by joining a political party. Start with your neighbourhood, what do people there need or require for a better standard of living? Can you use your skills to help to see that your community's needs are met? Can you communicate effectively with those in power to get things done? I think this is a safe way to start. In the process of doing this, you will learn more about human nature, how political power operates and how people use it. I agree with this and the other poster that suggested starting with an NGO. The system is currently too corrupt for one individual to fight. Start small and other likeminds will join you when they see the progress you are making. Goodluck. |

with a very strong determination you can achieve your dreams. Just know that nothing good comes easy especially in naija where even nothing bad comes easy, talkless of Good. Utilize opportunities, be smart, and know her to think and act faster than your opponents. See you at the top. |

Thank you for the advice, I think I will consider your advice and @slygy that talked about starting an NGO. @others so what you are saying is that all female politicians sleep their way to the top? |

@OP You can prove the naysayers wrong about females sleeping their way to the top. I agree that starting at the grassroots level is key. You will come across like minds in the process. There will be A LOT of offers to make you immoral or the typical Naija politician. You will always have a choice to make. Looking forward to hear good things about you starting from your neighbourhood. Good luck and remember, LEADERS WANTED! |

SlyIg: I cant even remember I banned you, just checked your ban log now and realized I banned you for derailing a thread with garri comment, sorry about it BTW, I was the moderator of the year for 2011 so am not seeking the title again. I appreciate your posting in this section and wish to encourage many females to be involved in politics and political discussions as much as possible. Just cooperate with me by keeping the rules and we will be good friends. 1 Like |

J12:Yes am still under 25 and the NGO thing is not a bad idea. I will start working on that now, I just felt been directly involve in politics will make me have direct impact in the life of many ordinary Nigerians with the money meant for them. Cos with the NGO I will still have to go back to the same politicians to source for fund and I will only be able to reach just a minimal number of people but I think it won't be a bad idea to start from there now, with all these black juju and opening of leg comments. |

Re: Before I Join Nigeria Politics As A Lady: Please Advice by cigaricon(m): 5:45pm On Jan 09, 2013 |
Ma, u have a very good foresight, and my avice goes thus: When we see all these corrupt leaders in our society in a photograph @ their young age, u will agree with me that what pple always say is "look at them, they never knew what they where going to be" or "aw, did he know he was going to be a politician?" No he ddnt and dats true, they never had a dream of being someones leader, its either they were pushed into it or they entered politics just because they saw others going into it hence their failure. A man(this aplies to women too) who has a dream will understand that nothing comes easily and that there are hurdles on the way, and nothing I repeat nothin wil stop him from reaching the top exept he himself if u understand what I mean. A man who does sumtin just because he saw other ppl doing it or because he wants to please sumone will do whatever evil it takes to get there so that he will be praised. All I'm trying to say is that pls if u know politics is not ur dream, I'll advice u not to go into it cos what u stated in 1,2 and 3 will definitely be the steps u will follow but if u strongly belive it ur dream then u have to knw this -nothing good comes easily, one thing is having a dream and another is acheiving it -u will surely be tempted, it is inevitable but if u want to acheive ur dream u will stay strong -always believe in chang, that's y ppl say "never give up" -never look for who to cast a blame unto insteat blame urself. In this way u are saying that if u were to be there, a problem wouldn't have occured and this will motivate u to look for solutions quickly -dont ignore what u know is right to do, it will surely come back to hunt u -always knw that karma never sleep she will surely reward u for ur deeds weda gud or bad -money is not the root of all evil, the love for money is. If u love money then u must love evil but if u don't love money money will definately flow into ur purse through the right fountain cos u need it. Great men don't have money cos they love it, they have money cos they deserve it. -finaly know that u are not a failure, claim it and see ur dreams come to pass. I don't beg neigther do I force, I only advice pple to do what is good My five shekels |

@OP you can take baby steps by contacting the women ahead of you in politics. They'll mentor you to some extent before you outgrow them. Try getting in touch with women like Hannatu Musawa. Also avoid the lesbians amongst them, so that they don't use their tongue to finish you |
Re: Before I Join Nigeria Politics As A Lady: Please Advice by Nobody: 5:48pm On Jan 09, 2013 |
mudistr: @OPthey will initiate her to lesbianism or love-vendor her to the barons ..op just stay far away from politic for your own sake |
Re: Before I Join Nigeria Politics As A Lady: Please Advice by mudistr(m): 5:49pm On Jan 09, 2013 |
@OP, but if na your picture dey your profile. I no know how u wan do am without sleeping with men o. Them no go let u rest. If u marry powerful man when respect your ambition, he might be able to keep other men away. Ojukwu Bianca style |

Re: Before I Join Nigeria Politics As A Lady: Please Advice by youngbest(m): 5:54pm On Jan 09, 2013 |
@ OP my only problem with Nigerian politics is the highly evident threat to the lives of perceived do gooders, e.g Funsho Williams e.t.c I can remember one painful story of one man from Ekiti state (forgot his name) who wanted to contest for Governor but was killed he was allegedly an honest and God fearing man that just wanted to do good but he was gunned down and is now cold. The evidence to the fact that this killings are politically inclined is the fact that the killers always disappear into thin air and are never found. PLEASE BEWARE. the OP mentioned Abiki Dabiri as a mentor and to my knowledge there has yet to be a scandal against her i could be wrong but i think that is a clear sign that politics can be accessed without doing immoral things. |
Re: Before I Join Nigeria Politics As A Lady: Please Advice by mudistr(m): 5:55pm On Jan 09, 2013 |
@OP with your beauty, you can not get into politics without being messed up badly by perverted men. But you know what. With God all things are possible. If he gave you the dream and burning desire, he will walk with you through the valley of the shadow of we peverted men Kai, but u fine sha |

Dear Alicia, having read your post, i felt relieved because i realised there is still a YOUNG NIGERIAN that is still passionate about this country. Please if you dont mind, i will appreciate if you can reach me on 08060587003, tomiwachampion@yahoo.com or 23522DA9. I believe so much in this country and am sure we will do it. Expecting your response. I also want to advise fellow nairalanders that the only way out of this mess we are is putting the upright in politics. The moment we reserve the place for thugs, rascals and drop outs, then the results we will continue to get will be disappointing. Look at the corporate bodies such as Banks, Breweries, Telecoms, etc who are taking advantage of this porous economy to make money, they dont joke with the kind of pple they recruit. They hire young intelligent smart individuals who are products of this same society and trained them to put on good character. Let me tell you the truth, all we need is a group of determined and focused people that will not be intimidated but who will face these so called POLITICAL GIANTS and rescue the country. For as many of us who still believe in this country, please you can reach me and i will share with you my vision. GOD BLESS NIGERIA. |
Re: Before I Join Nigeria Politics As A Lady: Please Advice by Nobody: 6:32pm On Jan 09, 2013 |
First Identify your areas of strength. Are you a community mobilizer or are you more interested in law making? When you have realised which area you want to focus then study and know the issues. Get close to your community. KNOW WHAT THEY NEED, not what you assume they need. Hold focal group discussions Know your target I.e women, children or youth. Register to a political party. Don't jump in and contest just yet, intern and learn under a female politician you admire. Take all the crap and all the good with your goal in foucs. |
