Why are men scared of women Lolz. See dem Screaming like babies cos of an ordinary equality bill using religion and traditions as coverup SMH.

Adaure4ever:
What we want is for women to be given a chance to achieve their dreams esp. In the nation politics, the dominance of the menfolk is strong.
A women should be Nigeria vice president come 2019.
All the same, men are first in creation and woman was created from a man ribs, so submission is okay but submission should not be turned into slavery.

@ aduare

As a guy with a mother & sisters, I have no issues with women in general Going after thier dreams but I have an issue with any individual male
or female telling me that I owe XYZ or should give XYZ to person A just because person A is a woman.

That is classic Entitlement mentality.

Lets take the statement you made above for example.
'A woman should be Vice President in 2019'

A Woman should be Vice President because....what? Is she an accomplished individual? Did she hit the campaign trail to showcase her smarts, her understanding of relevant issues in the country, her vision for nigerians as a whole?

No....lets just make a woman Vice President because....she's a woman. :/

Any woman who ascends to the number two position in the land based on such flawed thinking will merely be a puppet, even worse a useless puppet... to be seen by women & 'equal rights' advocates but rarely if ever heard.

Women in naija will be served better by advocating for Quality women in our goverment rather than Quantity of no brains girls in sensitive positions.

just my 2 kobo.

Acidosis:
That bill should never be passed without addressing and modifying some key points in the bill.
e.g.

"a widow shall have equitable share in the inheritances of her late husband."

This for instance is an unclear and controversial provision.

As much as I don't support gender discrimination. Absolute gender equality is a philosophy according to the Americans. Neither the Bible nor the Quran preaches total gender equality. The bill could be modified to protect the girl child and prevent such occurrences like Ese's instead of adopting a gospel according to the Americans in the name of Gender equality.
Why not discourage gender discrimination instead of clamoring for gender equality.

plendil:


@bolded, I totally agree, but only if she merits it when compared with other candidates (including male), and not on the sole basis that she's a woman.

It troubles me you ladies don't appreciate the irony - you claim women are not inferior but you want special treatment.

My immediate supervisor, a bastion of knowledge, courage and superb intellect is female,and she got that position strictly on merit and not any silly sentiment. In fact, as she confided in me, one of her dreaded fears will be comments like "you were given that position just because you are female, not because you are actually good". I'm not sure any lady worth her salt will also like to hear that.

You want a position, WORK FOR IT, on a fair, even playing ground. If at any time during the process you notice discrimination on the basis of gender, then it can be taken up.

What is clear is that her husband's siblings should throw her and her children out of the house and claim all she labored with her husband all through her life abi?

All the guys above me spewing thrash about women being inferior and weaker should sit themselves down and take a long look at their lives. That ur scared of a woman having equal privilegedes and opportunities as you makes you a weak male chauvinist and a failure already.
Though we know wosup, even if the bill is re-presented 100 times, it wouldn't pass, so long as the paedophiles from the North are still there.

I now see the reason iweala and Allison were pompous . Imagine that bill getting a second run? These men are becoming mumus if there was equality then,they'd be total women wrappers now.

Quakertellicus1:


Yes He did....women are just different. Difference does not mean lack of equality.

BLINGZ88:
No, don't re-present it becos u all are afraid of women taking ur position. I am a man but I don't c women as inferior or weak gender.

Every rights a Man has, a woman should also have.

I am very offended that the bill is being re-drafted along religous and Traditional lines. The Two top advocates for gender inequality.


This is why Nigerians need to stop looking at just the presidency but also the Senate and Reps in election periods.

A Senator can raise a motion for Nigerian men to marry more wives, but I wonder what will happen to the Female senator that proposes that women should be allow to marry more than 1 man.

Timbuktou:


What rights does a Nigerian man have that a Nigerian woman doesn't?

And how should the constitution be drafted if not by culture and religion? You sabi wetin be culture so?

Marrying of more wives or husbands is nobody 's business as far as none of the women are coerced. Anybody who doesn't want their spouse marrying somone else can leave them. It is a choice.

MadCow1:



Do you know that marrying more than 1 partner is a Federal Crime in Nigeria under federal Laws?

mineANDurs:


So u think Iweala is pompous? I pity u! cos jealousy will kill u. Have u ever seen her making unnecessary noise?
She achieved greatness tru education.
Go to skul, be as intelligent as she is and watch us sweep the floor u walk on wt our wrappers.
Give honor to whom it is due. Slowpoke!

Nooo I won't support such, but please husbands should right their will, whatever is stated in the will should be enforced.

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."

i will agree that we are equal in the sight of God if you can provide an answer to the following questions.
1. Mention a time in the bible where God spoke directly to a woman without an intermediary.?
2. Why are women restricted in the temple.?
3. Why do rev fathers have the right to celebrate the Holy mass, bt the Rev mother is nt allowed to do same?

missjahiniekpe:

I am not a catholic, therefore its none of my business if women are allowed to celebrate Holy mass or not. Am not also talking about the old testament church that the doctrines were based on the prophesies of the prophets. Am talking about the new testament church, the church of the first born Jesus... We are all like Jesus.
