The Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs. Pauline Tallen, has appealed to governors, especially the new governors, to encourage more women in governance by allocating more political positions to them at the state level.

Speaking Saturday at the 2019 Edition of the Arise Women’s Conference in Lagos, Tallen, who commended Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and his Lagos counterpart, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for giving more political positions to women in the State Executive Council, said other governors should emulate them by promoting women representation in governance at the state level.

The 2019 Arise Women’s Conference, which was the 11th edition of the annual programme to celebrate women in Nigeria, was put together by Dr. (Mrs) Siju Iluyomade, Convener and Founder of Arise Women Initiative, a faith-based Non-Governmental Organisation.



Tallen, who was a former Plateau State deputy governor, also assured the women that as Minister for Women Affairs, she would continue to push for women interests across the country

In his address, the First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, who was represented by Dr. Mero Al-Makura, commended the Siju Iluyomade-led Arise Women Initiative for empowering women, which according to her is in line with her Future Assured Programme, to reach out to people at the grassroots level.


Also speaking at the event wives of Lagos, Ogun and Ekiti states; Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, Mrs. Bamidele Abiodun and Erelu Bisi Fayemi, commended the Arise Women Initiative for supporting and empowering women through different philanthropic gestures.

In her address, Dr. Iluyomade called on all women to come together to improve villages across Nigeria. She said her organisation has done this by having as its model Dafara Adopt a village programme by building a hospital and provide qualitative health care delivery.

Women only consider Favouring women as women’s right. Just appoint woman even if they are not qualified. They expect men to struggle less and lower their ambitions so less competitive women can level up. They want men to shelve their political ambitions so women can be elected. Violence against women is the only form of violence we must condemn. Men don’t have a say when to keep a pregnancy or not. Child ownership is solely that of a woman (even a 40year old woman who literally begged you to marry her would change and lay 100% claim on the child). The fight against men must be won even against a two year old boy. But sadly men have chosen to worship women so much that most gender biases against men are being championed by men called ‘white knights’, ‘the cocks’, they go on supporting women’s frivolous fights hoping to gain the women’s attention not knowing women don’t care about them. They are those who comment “you are an epitome of beauty” on all the beautiful and ugly photos women post on social media. Please let us appoint 100% women in your cabinet so they can be happy and let everyone rest.

Women are their own down fall; their crab-syndrome. The day women will rise up for one another, will be the beginning of good things to come. Check my blog on 'the social and economic rights for women in a male-dominated society': www.securitymattersafrica.com
