Is Nigeria ready to have a woman as president? If yes, who?

Its not so much the gender that is the issue, though it should not be overlooked. However, at the moment, we need a person with enough understanding of the workings of the military to be able to continue the process of restructuring the military and avert any coup. Obasanjo did a very excellent job in that department in his first few years of civilian rule. We need to get used to the culture of civilian succession.

Ayanfe said :<< We need to get used to the culture of civilian succession. >> Great ! One can agree with that ,because instability brings nothing but thieves. But questions come when he says << Why should a black nation have its males subjected to female rule? >>.
In a democratic country are citizens subjected to the president rule or is everybody ( including the president) abiding by the law of the land ? Am I missing something here? What if women say : well, you men won't find us in your bed if you don't allow us to be president ?  |

I'm not really excited about a woman being our president. On second thought, why not? Let's try summin different.

have you forgotten what happened when Nigeria tried to host the Miss World beauty pageant? Its not possible to have a female president for now.

What does the Miss World beauty pageant have to do with presidency? Our finance minister, a woman, doesn't strut about town in skimpy clothes like the Miss World contestants, so I don't see the relevance of that!

Nigeria is not ready for a female President. Heck, women speaking out in public get dirty looks in many parts of the country.

@ Chief Agbe, where do you live? I'm thinking it could be in some cave somewhere. Seriously, we do not need to be talking like this given the positive contributions that women have put into governance all over the world. Even in Nigeria, we have some examples of women that have made their mark. |

Where does a chief live ? Among his tribesmen evidently. I , as the chief have to recall everybody where steps must stop. There must be a leader to draw the line and i'm the leader here. You know Why women want to be president? Here it is : wear skinny trousers,smoke cigarette, drink alcool ,take advantage of political meetings to be unfaihtful to their husbands, eat in public and shout in the face of men.No other agenda. It is what you want right? Chinua achebe is right, Things are just falling apart.  Chief Agbe,the guardian of traditions. |

Funny for what, some do want to see their wives staying out late on the ground of questionable meeting.

We've heard about the candidate for next years election and the real contenders seem to be Duke, Okotie, Utomi and as much as I hate to admit it IBB.
However, some people also believe Okonjo-Iweala is a contender. I'm not suggesting she is the right candidate especially since I've never believed in an economist being the head of state, prime minister or president even though i'm an economist.
My question also comes as a result of Americans belief that the next president of the US of A is either Hillary Clinton or Condoleeza Rice.
The question is Is Nigeria ready to take that step forward and follow in the footsteps of Chile, Liberia, Phillipines, Finland, Latvia, Ireland and this is just the list of those women still in power as some have come off as you all know. Is this a good move for our country and are there any prospective candidates there. Could you name them please?

Regardless of her qualifications, i don't think Nigeria is anywhere near ready to let a Female rule the country.

Why not? It happened in first and third world countries before in countries like England, Pakistan, India and Phillipines. Recently Germany and Liberia just elected women presidents. So, if the most qualified candidate happens to be a woman, then I would support her.
