Razorr:

Bla bla bla. . .

Like I said before, you guys should encourage women to participate in political discussions more. Respect the ones who do and don't make silly comments at women's post. We should be one big happy family after that.

I dont think the guys are being disrespectful, its just that sometimes its so sweet winding the sisters up.

McKren:

ok lets get serious

girlz what I simply expect you to argue is the fact that interests do actually vary and that is why every individual is unique in the first place.
If awareness of politics is synonmous to being inteligent then people who go on IQ test or quiz competitions will not be required to choose area of interest. Questions about politics will simply be put to them.
I know guys who don't do politics and I don't think they are dumb, interests do differ. For some it is outright sports, others Food and cookery, some computers, or entertainment etc.

I said something very similar to that earlier. I am tired of talking on politics and everyone ignoring it.
It has gotten to the point where I just read what I see and talk to the men around me about it.
Besides, I think enough (NOT ALL) guys who talk in politics do so under the influence of drugs because they just say the dumbest things.

See how she took offence to the IQ scores I have seen someone on the politics section tell another that he deserves to be dead,they haven't seen nothing yet  

That was how Kellofish talked about "moving Nigeria forward", when I advised her not to move it over to Cameroun she took offence. I know am in her bad books now and hope to appologise somehow, someday.
But the truth is, that is what a forum like this is about, the argument, fun, wind ups etc

My favorite politician in the UK is Margaret Thatcher,I joined the Conservative party because of her so I have no problems with females participating in politics.

The question is not whether women should participate but why they don't.

That some of the comments are offensive should not dissuade women .The great women in society did not wither in the face of aggression,they stood up to it and prospered.

Who says men are dominating women? Young man, no man has ever dominated me since I stepped on this planet. It would never happen. Just ask those who know me.

Girls and women are more than interested in politics
the problem with Africans  is that .they think most Jobs are mailny for guys thats why we are backward

I don't think Naija babes has a glaring disinterest in politics compared to the world average. The "land of the free" is still trying so hard to sell us their first woman president. Naija babes are just towing the line of the rest of women around the world in terms of politics. As they become socially and economically empowered, then they can influence more decisions in society.

Please tell them sir! Empowerment is the key word here not yabbis!

Why must women sit down waiting for "empowerment" from men? Why can't they just rise and grab that "power"?

Seun, I will rise now and grab your. . .

Society needs to encourage us to be active in things like this. Don't forget that most women are still dominated by men!

Society needs to encourage us to be active in things like this.

Women make up 50% of "society". Why not work on that 50% first before shifting the blame to men?

Don't forget that most women are still dominated by men!

Whose fault? If women close their legs and refuse to submit to this "domination" they will not be dominated.
You can't eat your cake and have it: you can't expect a tyrant to back down without a prolonged fight!

ok show's over. Am sure you guys all attended d girl power concert last weekend right? this will get messy.

Thats not true. People have different interests in different things. Some girls are interested and some are not just like a lot of guys i know who are not interested in politics or sports for that matter. I feel its an issue of interest not gender. A m a girland am completely into politics.

@ Seun No probs my dear. We are ready to close our legs and tell you guys to go f*ck yourselves. We are ready to forcefully empower ourselves.
I am doing it in my own little ways. So are countless other women!

I have a lot of respect for ladies who refuse to be confined to the home and the kitchen. Cheers!

texazzpete:

what are the women doing? Plenty! it's just that they get distracted what with the wave of romance centred stickies on the nairaland front page!
Besides, many gals are frequent contributors on the sports and technology sections.
also, i believe the 'politics' section is overrated, it's become an avenue for people to argue and rant about issues, for people to show off their 'stratospheric' IQs. IMHO, 70% of the posts in the politics section aren't what i'd call intelligent!

well said. r u d texazzpete dat chxta is lways yarning about on his blog?

Nice post

[size=26pt]SEUN!!!!!![/size]

IS THERE ANY REASON WHY YOU DELETED 5 OF MY POSTS HERE?!! 
I DESERVE AND DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!!!!     _{while you're answering, i'm just curious to know why you think i'm strange.}

4PLAY weting i do u and i wasn't wishing death on that guy.

Omo Eko:

You think am talking about Yar'Adua? I was talking about a male NairaLander saying another Nairalander was better off dead.

Stay off the weed

4Play! What are you doing here? Didn't my fetish incantations last night work? I guess I still have some work to do!

Kitchen politics is the most serious form of polititics. Who in this world could persuade Baba Awo to change his mind?

LOL.Criosly we shld have a female president in Nigeria.Liberia jst opened d way.

I look at the politics forum, someone makes a comment and by the 3rd 4th response the forum has degenerated to name calling etc and you can see the different camps championing their heroes(obj,babangida,etc)

always seems to be the same arguement.gets too boring.it's like being in a beer parlour with men trying to sound like they know what they are talking about.

Okonji Iweala or Oby Ezekwelisi shld open d way oh.

Okonji Iweala shouldn't worry. I am blazing the trail!

Really?What party?

No way ! you got to be kidding. Actually most of our girls and or ladies are closet politicians. And guess what, they know more politicians than
the guys. Think about it. Our women grace every national political function, they attend every political rally and at the end of the day, come back home and do what they have to do to keep our politicians happy in the bedrooms. What ?

They are like king makers lurking in the background and calling the shots. Are you kidding !

So folks speak for yourselves. lol.

I don't know what it is, but Ms Razorr amazes me.
I think she has what it takes and 3 times a lady.

My point: Not all the girls are the same and it is unfair to put all of them in the same box.

Razorr is a different type; she's cool, intelligent and can take it to the next level at any time.
