Africa in the first place has adopted the modernization principles of the so called developed and civilized nations, forgetting that each strokes should be for each folks, the drug that is being used by you effectively might be neutral when used by me.

Its just high time African political scholars stand up to proposed our own system of political administration because our culture and composition does not match the European political system which means that any attempt for effective practice will end in futility.

To the topic: gender equality is alien to our culture, am not saying women should be marginalized but there are extent to which they can act in the society. this is not America.

Dear Igbo Women: In Biafra, Men would never allow you women to hold equal rights as them.

Women like Late Dora Akunyili, Okonjo Iweala, Ezekwesili and co would never reach the level they did in Nigeria under Biafra because Men are more superior to women. They would end up in the Kitchen cooking Okpa and Akidi beans for the rest of their lives. grin

this is what happens when toddlers dabble in things beyond their age..and even with information so cheap and available they refused to seek wisdom. So tell me, who orchestrated the infamous aba women riot of 1929? decades before this geographical expression ever dreamt of getting it's independence...if you know the importance of women in igbo history you wouldn't have brazenly uttered such misguided bullcrap...have you heard about august meetings conducted by igbo women in Nigeria and how important it is in their various communities? well the Internet is a place where juveniles can come in anonymously to fan their immaturity.

What equality again? They take up the Jobs meant for us by the use of their two pointed apples and Barcelona.
They insult, harass and maltreat us yet you cant raise a finger on them because they are Women and they even want a bill that will make them equal with us after it is very obvious that they are above us.

How is this unafrican? So our sisters and mums should perpetually be seen as sub citizens in the country they hold the power to nurture growing citizens?

Reason why we need to boot out these illiterates and aged leaders.

Wow, the bill was even tried in Enugu.. It can never be read at all in any other part of this country talkless of scaling any reading..

God job.. The women should go back to the drawing board to address some key concerns raised during The Debate.. .

They should also love some men in the house to enlighten them on the importance of surporting their women.


Could one imagine if a woman should sponsor such bill in any other part of this country.. .South West or north Boko abbod, what life must have been for such a woman by now...

Her story would have been, after 24hrs, death threat, divorce, calling for her seat etc...


Enugu thanks for leading the way..

Solution women pls don't give men ur votes Again in Enugu, Enugu is the worst state to married into in the east except u are lucky ur husband is breed outside the wawa state the see women as only object of se x nothing else most of them give out there daughters as young as 11 to marriage to train a girl child is an abomination to them only very few of them train their girl child if they do their kinsmen see them as pple throwing away money their mentality and Hausa about women is same no difference. Even expose girls from Enugu will tell u that they will never marry from Enugu, rape is their culture and u the woman or the girl have no right to report. For pple that want to condemned me am from Aninri old awgu LGA I knw wot am saying I rather remain single than marry Enugu state man. Cos u will be in the dark forever.

No gender is superior to the other, they are mutually complementary, the one cannot function without the other, God Himself created us all male and female to serve as complements to ourselves.

However, there are gender defined roles and obligations, gender roles and obligations are dictated by nature and by eons of trial and learning which end product is culture and/or tradition.

Do not import rubbish into society in the name of cvilisation.

It is only igbo land that breeds feminists and advocate for gender equality.

Is it the Northern Presidiot that doesn't shake women will encourage gender equality in Nigeria?

This your statement is as daft as claiming women have equal rights in Iran because they once did when the Shah of Iran was still in power and Iran was a secular, liberal Muslim state.




What does the Aba women's riot have to do with the current situation NOW? Abi you think even in 1929 Women had equality with men?

Women can inherit under Igbo custom- ukeje b ukeje (supreme court) 2014 decision. Anambra passed reproductive rights protection law in 2010/2011...in fact my LLB thesis was on this issue. With or without Enugu passing the law women are equal with men under the constitution. Let us eschew all these divisive politics
