But wait oh. the other day, i witnessed a conductor exchanging words with a woman and not long after, a fight did erupt. Then a mopo from nowhere came out with his koboko and bathed the man with it and everyone started insulting him that he is fighting a woman. Now i ask, is this not discrimination? if men and women should have equal rights it then means that a man and a woman can fight without discriminating talks from people. I think we the men need it more so that we can at least protect ourselves from them. Nevertheless, on the long run, women realy needs this law. Women's subjugation and discrimination is quite alarming. Kudos to the lady. Nice try. 1 Like |

ceecee0703: Bills about gender discrimination are not about marriage but the larger society. Its about someone not getting discriminated against for a job because of their sex, its about landlords not discriminating against female tenants and such. Clearly your thinking is the same as those women and that is why they were against it. They know once their wives have more rights n the society they can no longer treat them like sub-humans at home 5 Likes |

Mamatee07: Like l said earlier, if there are "pockets" of discrimination (which even still happens even in Western Countries), LAWS need to be strengthened. I have sisters and we all shared our parents 'ESTATES' EQUALLY, upon their demise so l dont know where you come from that you dont allow your female siblings to inherit land? Your examples are ignorantly puerile, to put it mildly! assuming there are no murders in Africa, then it is actually stewpid, to make laws against it ....in Africa. That is the concept of "ab initio" that l mentioned earlier, which you failed to comprehend. Assuming "One child" failed in a class, it does not mean the whole class has failed and they all have to repeat that class...... That "failure child" is the one that needs to being attended to. The Law maker is saying: Look, that problem is not preponderant here, to the point of making "new laws' against it; we just need to strengthen the ones we have to tackle little pockets of infractions. But then, any sensible person knows that "these Equal rights Bill" is more than just about "equal right", ...it is just a convenient excuse for something more sinister.... We've seen it in the Western countries, in the past. Lastpage! |

lastpage: The fact that they wont accept a harmless bill of equality is enough evidence that in that the women are sub par. Someone explained how culturally it is acceptable that if a girls fatjer dies, the mans brothers are the ones to inherit his property. A mans child should be the rightful heir not his brothers backed up by culture... If the bill is passed into law, such incidences would be criminal..... 3 Likes |

Ohamzee: Women have been more cunning than men, from the time of Adam! Even worse, some foolish men, so ignorantly, think they are fighting the "cause of women" as a "weaker shex", when in reality, they are being "used and dumped", for emasculating their fellow men. Its so strange and funny that "some men" could be this unintelligent! But such is Life, even Biblical Adam proved that men are weaker (emotionally,) than women and women use this weakness to their advantage! It is also strange that in the "Western Countries" we are trying to copy, they are beginning to realise their mistake and are redressing some of these laws! For example, "Equality Laws" have been used to prevent Men from seeing their children, if the parents are unmarried. It has been used to allow a woman terminate Pregnancy, without the consent of her man/husband, by claiming it's her body! Now, Western countries are seein gthe injustice they met on the menfolk and trying to correct it. Yet ,here we are in Africa, we are trying to swallow the bait, hook, line and sinker, in 2016! Anyway, "Water has a way of finding its level, it is only those whose houses are low-lying. that would have to pay the price first". Lastpage! |

Africans copying the western world since time immemorial...never willing to become masters of their own. Thats why we will keep on being their play things since we have decided not to appreciate what we have just for the white man's goods and policies. You see why we are yet to move on because we worship the white man, believing that everything he says and does is perfect but we never get to look inward to see if we got something great that they too can borrow. I weep in hindu. |

Okijajuju1:This post is biggest insult to Igbo women!! Anyway only fish brained Igbo women would take whatever this poster seriously... Real Igbo women know their mettle. As per the issue at hand,I support the lawmakers bkos this feminism of a thing would one day destroy Igboland if its allowed to creep in. Chukwu Okike made the females as helpmates, and for 4000years this practice instituted by Chukwu Okike himself has never been altered and it'd not start now! |

suwalee: May be where you come from females are subjugated but with regards to where I come from, Umuada (the women in council) have the capacity to upturn the King's order. USA is not a signatory to international right of the child because they believe a parent reserve the right to spank his/her child. Sometimes you don't read meaning into a methodology you don't fully understand. In Israel for instance, you're not born a Jew unless your mother is even if you are the Prime Minister. A Jewish man marrying non Jew makes their Children non-Jews. |

cheruv: Slavery was both backed by biblical passages and remained unchanged for many years until people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther took a stand. Just because you have been practicing something for 400 years does not make it right. All Men and Women are equal under the law and should have access to the same opportunities without discrimination. 3 Likes |

lastpage: The whole idea of the laws is to tailor it to the society, so there is no reason why they can't pass gender equality laws and stipulate things. Non gender discrimination will not negate the custody and divorce laws a long as they don't discriminate based on sex. It's about the fact the no one should be discriminated against in anything because of their sex. I've seen landlords say they won't rent out to single women, can you imagine such in 2016. Custody laws and divorce laws are separate from that. The ignorance you are displaying by thinking once non discrimination is In place that would mean women can keep kids away from men and such Is the same myopia disturbing those men but they should know better as law makers. 2 Likes |

Okijajuju1:You're simply using the issue to whip up tribal animosities and am not falling for that. Igbo cultural values like I said is 4000years old and its been very efficacious in maintaining the social fabrik of Igbo society. Say whatever you like.. Shout from now till Yeshua comes again but nothing would change. The basis of Igbo society is marriage and I'd not be a party to a group masquerading under the umbrella of bastardized Western values to wreck damage to our social fabrik! |

B4 we start criticising, let's ask some questions: Is there a law that says men r superior? Is there a law that relegates women's activities or posts they can hold? Someone will come here n spew d civilisation rubbish..... In d white countries, women r treated better than men, is that gender equality? They have better health care packages than men... Is that equality? They r first considered for jobs..... Z that equality? If u n woman fight, they'll treat ur fuckup cos u r a man,.... Z that equality? So anyone proposing a gender equality bill should know that ITS NOT N CAN NEVER BE POSSIBLE...... cos one sex will always have d upper hand n in d case of d Western countries, d women have d upper hand, so its reasonable that why we don't make laws that reduce their value, we men should have d upper hand in African culture. |
