Woman President: Is Nigeria Ready? 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 ? |

Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by Dauda(m): 2:50am On Jun 01, 2006 |
I'm not really excited about a woman being our president. On second thought, why not? Let's try summin different. |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by otokx(m): 11:31am On Jun 01, 2006 |
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. |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by Seun(m): 12:45pm On Jun 01, 2006 |
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! |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by trumic(m): 2:39pm On Jun 01, 2006 |

Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by DaHitler(m): 8:54pm On Jun 03, 2006 |
Nigeria is not ready for a female President. Heck, women speaking out in public get dirty looks in many parts of the country. |

huh |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by CHIEFAGBE: 8:14pm On Jun 05, 2006 |
Now you want give power to women ?Why don't they learn how to cook first, I'm tired of women eating in restaurants . women shewing gun everywhere in public. Enough is enough. Chief Agbe, the guardian of traditions. |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by Dauda(m): 11:44pm On Jun 05, 2006 |
CHIEF AGBE: @ 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. |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by Seun(m): 11:32am On Jun 06, 2006 |
Some of us are still in the 19th century. It's funny! |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by CHIEFAGBE: 6:01pm On Jun 07, 2006 |
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. |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by Dauda(m): 9:59pm On Jun 07, 2006 |
CHIEF AGBE: I believe you are trying to be funny. I therefore will try to laugh at your dry joke.[quote][/quote] |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by CHIEFAGBE: 2:57pm On Jun 08, 2006 |
Funny for what, some do want to see their wives staying out late on the ground of questionable meeting. |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by efftee(f): 11:45am On Jun 27, 2006 |
I think what nigeria needs now is a female president. what do you think? |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by Mystique(f): 8:17am On Jul 03, 2006 |
Hmmm, So much hype about this Dr. Okonjo-Iweala |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by tinard(m): 7:41am On Sep 09, 2006 |
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? |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by iice(f): 8:02am On Sep 09, 2006 |
Regardless of her qualifications, i dont think Nigeria is anywhere near ready to let a Female rule the country. |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by bluenubian(f): 11:18am On Sep 09, 2006 |
heck, maybe thats what we need, look at what the men have done to ur beloved country |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by justin04(m): 1:56pm On Sep 09, 2006 |
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. |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by nilla(f): 5:15pm On Sep 09, 2006 |
@ topic YES Nigeria is. If she is the best candidate. For those that think NO, you better be ready in the next 20+ years when i might think of running |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by nico(m): 12:11pm On Sep 10, 2006 |
Is Nigeria ready for a female President? Is like asking, if Vatican is ready for a Pope? |
Re: Is Nigeria Ready For A Female President? by lovely28(f): 8:55pm On Sep 10, 2006 |
Yes sure, why not? All the time men, men, men, Life is full of different experiences, so I personally think it's a great idea Let's go for it if we get the chance! |
