well this is a good development. but the main issue is "is she capable of taking on the burden of Nigeria"
She should forget professor stuff now oo.. this aint going to be an easy task. Hard does not even qualify it.

Ruling Nigeria is not a one person's job but everybody's job it is our collective responsibility when all hands are on deck.

Can A Woman Be The President Of Nigeria? It Is Not Impossible. It Happened In Liberia. Angela Merkel Is German Chancellor And Relatively The Most Powerful Woman In Europe. Theresa May Is The Prime Minister In Britain. Recently The Two Didn't Have It Rosy. Our Case Is Different In Nigeria With Our High Level Of Religious Bigotry, And The Fact That Religion Has Diluted Our Cultural Orietation With Some Biases; I Doubt If We Can Have A Female President Now. Many Obstacles Against Women In Politics And Majority Will Be Coming From Other Women Themselves. Naturally, Perhaps I May Be Wrong, Women Are Naturally Self Centred And Envious Of One Another. I Wish You Well Madam Prof. I Remember Madam Sarah Jubril. Hope You Will Scale The Primaries Before The General Election. Women Can Do It But This Is Not To Say, They, Only Is The Midas Touch. Our Problem Is Leadership, With The WILL Devoid Of Partisanship And Can Be A Man Or Woman.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE REASON IGBOS HATE YORUBA ......... WE SET THE PACE AND IT ALWAYS MAKE THEM SAD.......THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A WOMAN FROM IGBOWASTELAND BOLD ENOUGH TO CONTEST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN NIGERIA WHILE YORUBAS HAVE HAD TWO IN THE PAST AND NOW THIS WOMAN.........NOT JUST ANY WOMAN BUT PROFESSORS .......

IPOD Igbos GET THIS

YORUBAS ARE YOUR SUPERIOR IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE AND WILL ALWAYS BE .

REASON THERE IS SO MUCH HATRED FROM THE EAST TOWARDS PMB AND APC IS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS THE YORUBAS THAT MADE PMB PRESIDENCY POSSIBLE AND APC GOT POWER AT THE CENTRE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TRAITORS FROM THE EAST.

Ugwu eater don't give yaself high blood pressure! She will contest and if you don't like go and hug the closest transformer!

she will contenst of course. Your little coward energy will go behind her, when you already know the end from the beginning. One of yours has already betrayed Nigeria and his God already because of power

If She is president, what will the office of her husband called?

You don't get it I said governance is a collective responsibility because it is a democracy and everyone is a part of the process.If you ask me Nigerians are part of the reason the country is a mess up because the leaders come from the followers and Nigerians can sell heir votes,don't speak true to power,support based on ethnic and religious reasons,youths assist politicians in rigging elections and so much more so it is safe to say Nigerians are a part of the problem.I never said we should support a bad government all I said was that if this country is to move forward we all have a role to play either by our civic responsibilities or voting in an election e.t.c.

Ladyhippolyta88:
very true I believe if women want to support their own they can and that person may likely win but please allow me to quote Trump "the system is rigged".

My dear, sorry I have to quote Trump here too. The bolded is "fake news".
Joke aside if women overwhelmingly vote one way or another it would be difficult to offset.
But there are parts of 9ja where women are directed by their hubby who to vote for.

We know that in some places, women do not even see their PVCs or ballot boxes. Their PVCs are used by others to vote.

So yes you have a point.

You are right but I thought it is you and your ballot box so who would see you,except if you show it to them either way you are very correct if Nigerian women are ready they can do it.

I would have taken Prof. DORA AKUNYILI as the best choice.
You can always see the zeal, passion, patriotism and Love she has for this country.
Bt then, death is very wicked.

Absolutely, she was a complete package of integrity, patriotism, passion and commitment. Lots of Nig wonen in politics are of same breed as their male counterparts if not worse. It's not a matter of being but a female with integrity that can truly make the difference.

MUSLIMS WILL NOT VOTE FOR HER BECAUSE THEY SEE WOMEN IN GENERAL AS UNCLEAN ANIMALS

WOMAN IN ISLAM

In the midst of the darkness that engulfed the world, the divine revelation echoed in the wide desert of Arabia with a fresh, noble, and universal message to humanity:

"O Mankind, keep your duty to your Lord who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate (of same kind) and from them twain has spread a multitude of men and women...". [Noble Quran 4:1]

A scholar who pondered about this verse states: "It is believed that there is no text, old or new, that deals with the humanity of the woman from all aspects with such amazing brevity, eloquence, depth, and originality as this divine decree."

Stressing this noble and natural conception, them Quran states:

"He (God) it is who did create you from a single soul and therefrom did create his mate, that he might dwell with her (in love)..." [Noble Quran 7:189]

"The Creator of heavens and earth: He has made for you pairs from among yourselves" [Noble Quran 42:11]

"And Allah has given you mates of your own nature, and has given you from your mates, children and grandchildren, and has made provision of good things for you. Is it then in vanity that they believe and in the grace of God that they disbelieve?" [Noble Quran 16:72]

The rest of this paper outlines the position of Islam regarding the status of woman in society from its various aspects - spiritually, socially, economically and politically.

1. The Spiritual Aspect

The Quran provides clear-cut evidence that woman is completely equated with man in the sight of God in terms of her rights and responsibilities. The Quran states:

"Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds" [Noble Quran 74:38]

The Social Aspect

a) As a child and an adolescent

Despite the social acceptance of female infanticide among some Arabian tribes, the Quran forbade this custom, and considered it a crime like any other murder.

"And when the female (infant) buried alive - is questioned, for what crime she was killed." [Noble Quran 81:8-9]

Criticizing the attitudes of such parents who reject their female children, the Quran states:

"When news is brought to one of them, of (the Birth of) a female (child), his face darkens and he is filled with inward grief! With shame does he hide himself from his people because of the bad news he has had! Shall he retain her on (sufferance) and contempt, or bury her in the dust? Ah! What an evil (choice) they decide on?" [Noble Quran 16:58-59]

As a wife:

The Quran clearly indicates that marriage is sharing between the two halves of the society, and that its objectives, besides perpetuating human life, are emotional well-being and spiritual harmony. Its bases are love and mercy.

Among the most impressive verses in the Quran about marriage is the following.

"And among His signs is this: That He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest, peace of mind in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy. Lo, herein indeed are signs for people who reflect." [Noble Quran 30:21]

According to Islamic Law, women cannot be forced to marry anyone without their consent.

Ibn 'Abbas reported that a girl came to the Messenger of God, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and she reported that her father had forced her to marry without her consent. The Messenger of God gave her the choice... (between accepting the marriage or invalidating it). [Ibn Hanbal No. 2469]

As a mother:

Islam considered kindness to parents next to the worship of God.

"And we have enjoined upon man (to be good) to his parents: His mother bears him in weakness upon weakness..." [Noble Quran 31:14] [See also Quran 46:15, 29:8]

Moreover, the Quran has a special recommendation for the good treatment of mothers:

"Your Lord has decreed that you worship none save Him, and that you be kind to your parents..." [Noble Quran 17:23]

A man came to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asking:

O Messenger of God, who among the people is the most worthy of my good company? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Your mother. The man said then who else: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Your mother. The man asked, Then who else? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Your mother. The man asked, Then who else? Only then did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, Your father. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

A famous saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is: "Paradise is at the feet of mothers." [In An-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, Ahmad]

"It is the generous (in character) who is good to women, and it is the wicked who insults them."

Economic Rights of women

Islam decreed a right of which woman was deprived both before Islam and after it (even as late as this century), the right of independent ownership. According to Islamic Law, woman's right to her money, real estate, or other properties is fully acknowledged. This right undergoes no change whether she is single or married. She retains her full rights to buy, sell, mortgage or lease any or all her properties. It is nowhere suggested in the Law that a woman is a minor simply because she is a female. It is also noteworthy that such right applies to her properties before marriage as well as to whatever she acquires thereafter.

"Unto men (of the family) belongs a share of that which Parents and near kindred leave, and unto women a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, whether it be a little or much - a determinate share." [Noble Quran 4:7]

Even with such deviations three facts are worth mentioning:

The history of Muslims is rich with women of great achievements in all walks of life from as early as the seventh century (A.D.)

It is impossible for anyone to justify any mistreatment of woman by any decree of rule embodied in the Islamic Law, nor could anyone dare to cancel, reduce, or distort the clear-cut legal rights of women given in Islamic Law.

Throughout history, the reputation, chastity and maternal role of Muslim women were objects of admiration by impartial observers.
