I can't believe i have to explain this. Nigeria is a country where it is legal to marry a 13 year old. Nigeria is a country where the divorce laws does not protect women. I could go on and on.

At the boldened.
Nigeria is a religious country and as such practice what is stated in either the quran or bible, both books are in support of early marriage and payment of bride price. so adding the equality to the law will nt stop the said inequality.
.
Genesis 3:16
To the woman he said, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
.
at the highlighted God made it, the way it is nw. and man cannot change it.

Equality can't work, even God make women as an helpmate not equal mate to men, women were created from we men ribs, so I think women should maintain dere position...

SUPERPACK:

child birth was never painful. it became painful after God cursed adam and eve.
.
Genesis 3:16
To the woman he said, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
.
so the curse also makes it impossible for man and woman to be equal

I know you'll go there. That only talk about headship... It doesn't mean superiority.

Man and woman are equal in the sense that they bear God’s image equally.

yes they bear Gods image equally. bt in his presence the men are placed higher than the women e.g
1. women are restricted in the temple,
2. they are nt given priestly roles,
3. the Rev sisters cannot celebrate mass,
.
all this goes to show u that God never planned for both to be equal at anytime. bt am open to ur opinion.

So, basically you are saying that it is ok to marry a 13 year old. Got it.

our religion said so.

Tallesty1:
These women don't get it, do they? It is impossible for men and women to be equal in marriage in Nigeria with the way things being done.

Let me break it down a little.

You and your love decides to marry - you visit her parents - they agree - then tell you what you need to bring - you agree - you bring them - you pay her price - when the parents are satisfied - they hand her over to you- she becomes your wife.

Love aside, isn't that a pure business arrangement? Then how can she claim equal with you?

I expect Nigeria women to first of all stand up and fight against this first before they can talk about equality or equity in marriage.

Irrelevant. Girls outnumber guys in most schools in Nigeria and there's no discrimination at all.

Also irrelevant, bosses hire qualified people. Male or female.

Nope, they're saying that our national laws have taken care of that already.



Gotta stop here cause there's nothing new or interesting in the bill.

Bro,I love ur breakdown of d issues in d bill,in fact I thought of d same thing b4 reading ur comment. The bill is absolutely irrelevant.

SUPERPACK:

our religion said so.

Which makes it a good thing, right? You are part of the problem.

banmee:

you said so.

Oh no they did not.

So if you give me the same job as a man, I shouldn't get paid the same rate?

Please release the lady that killed her husband, she does not have stamina to go to jail.

All female activist, I beg arise and show them hell has no fury like a woman scorned. Just give us advance warning.

Declare all women's hands off day.

I swear, the way some Nigerians think astounds the mind. I thank God I was delivered from that country years ago. Who knows, probably I'd be as phucked up mentality too. Who knows.

P.s.......
Congratulations.

Tell me about it.

@bold, thanks

ademoladeji:
Very funny but the truth is that we men are afraid of women.

We are both equal in the eyes of God.

Same way we were given birth to.

In fact, women shld be superior to we men. They go thru a lot much more than us.

I twale for all the responsible women!!!

I bu a complete tantabu ibu e let me just respect nairaland I know ur type mpam!

Seems women wants to start paying dowry and footing bills in marriage.Sincerely, if that can be achieved, then I'm in total support of the bill.

She wants this country to be loose like US where women will deliberately divorce their husband to get half of his wealth.

cococandy:

Tell me about it.

@bold, thanks

The thing is Christains like intefering in muslim affairs it doesn't concern u pls jus leave us alone

cococandy:
According to the senate,
It goes against sharia.

What does that tell you?

GBAM! This was my concern, even if the bill is Dead on Arrival the defense put up by the senate to throw it away is appaling and scary at the same time. Sharia?

BeeBeeOoh:
In Fela's voice, "I Sorry Sorry Oooh, I sorry Sorry For Nigeria..

You women are very funny,you're seeking the law to protect you whereas the law didn't protect the men. What seems to protect men are religion and cultures. And since we are in a constituionalized environ, the law is paramount above culture and religion. Reasons buhari is greater than sultan of sokoto.

The law hasn't act on prejudice to tilt in favour of any religion. Channel your grievances to cultural and religious leaders, failure to do this means you want the law to favour women alone which is tantamount to greed. How about you advocate for the law to protect the men also since it hasn't yet?

LadyExcellency:
Whatever bill that doesn't capture my husband bearing my father's name or mine as surname is nonsense and still maintains the notion that this is a man's world.

TonyeBarcanista, marry me and bear my father's name with our children.

Secondly, I will appreciate our family house be built in my father's compound while I be the contact person for family correspondents.

This is the type of equality that will gladden my heart.

hAhahahaahaha you are very funny

TonyeBarcanista:
hAhahahaahaha you are very funny

Why are you laughing? That is the meaning of equality we both advocate.

What we have on the floor of the Senate is crumbs thrown at females to pacify our struggle and further subjugate us perpetually.

May be, Tonyebarcanista (Adam) must be made and be created from Ladyexcellency (Eve) ribs to correct the imbalance (and to reverse the holy books) and if not possible then the control and captainship of families should be bestowed on women as a substitute to correct this generational imbalance.

Refuse to swallow reports without first analysing them. What establishment in Nigeria pays a woman less than a man for the same job. I dare you present just one such establishment. And don't you think that if an employer new women were cheaper to hire women would flood the Labour market?

My friend, wake up and stop thinking with your breasts.

LOL... What is your point?

which position? Your wife is your help meet but not every woman on the street. The bill is about national interest and not nuclear unit. It will not allow your brothers to rule over your wife when you are dead or is your brother,boss and the man next door her Lord too? Think about it

yes they bear Gods image equally. bt in his presence the men are placed higher than the women e.g

how ignorant. Did God not speak to Deborah? Was she not Commander in chief.....have you never heard of the prophetess huldah.......God is not man o. So if you want to quote the Bible, go and read it very well ,observe and study before you comment.

TonyeBarcanista:

No need for any concession given to us by men.

We will fight it out until it is registered in all your thin medulla oblongata and subconsciousness that we are all equal in every ramification.

who is prophetess huldah?
was she of any relevance in the bible?
because u and i know most people haven't heard of that name...

why do u think christ did not include a woman among the twelve apostles?
since u claim to have a good knowledge of the bible....

lolzzzz......

u and who?

rubbish!!!

chill...what actually doz the woman want?
Gender equality?, i think that word alone is ambiguous,or do they wish to have that same right of paying grooms-price here in Africa?,have in a class or school for instance,a woman outscore d male folks and the position being deprived of her? Their has been ministry and law against abuse of their self aclaimed 'weaker vessel'(yes we agree).Maybe women are denied of picking party tickets for political positions,hell no...its high time we desist from western socialist ideology,I dont really get it..please if am mistaken,constructive critisism is healthy to me
