2023 Elections: Trials, Triumphs Of Nigerian Women In Politics | Gist Nigeria
Half of Nigeria’s estimated 210 million people are women but the country has been recording low participation of women in both elective and appointive positions, a growing concern to many Nigerians. Despite calls for improvement of women’s participation in politics in Nigeria, there appears to be a huge gap. The just concluded 2023 General Elections has further exposed this vacuum. Gist Nigeria finds out why the gender representation/participation gap persists and what the future holds for women in politics and those aspiring to get into the country's political arena.
IyaebeTheGreat: The people you call riff-raffs are the same people that’ll elect her, such a derogatory and condescending statement. Have a nice century
Absolutely not. You mean the shameless elders who assist thieving politicians and give them support for looting their states?
Those who framed the NG 1999 constitution seem to like controversy. See two seemingly contrasting laws that both disfavor and favor Tinubu.
If you are a judge, which would you take?
Chapter vi of the 1999 Constitution, Section 13(d) says:
137. (1) A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if -
(d) he is under a sentence of death imposed by any competent court of law or tribunal in Nigeria or a sentence of imprisonment or fine for any offence involving dishonesty or fraud (by whatever name called) or for any other offence, imposed on him by any court or tribunal or substituted by a competent authority for any other sentence imposed on him by such a court or tribunal; or
Tinubu was fined 460K by forfeiture, which by the current CJN's own judgment means guilty as charged and conviction.
Please notice the last ''or'' above in section 137 d, as that may be the gamechanger to favor Tinubu
Then Section 137 (e) says
(e) within a period of less than ten years before the date of the election to the office of President he has been convicted and sentenced for an offence involving dishonesty or he has been found guilty of the contravention of the Code of Conduct.
But then there is still this one in Section 137 (j):
(j) he has presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Did Obi pursue the issue of forged certificate in addition to others?
Obi covered all bases. . . . That falls under 'tinubu should be disqualified' for fraud.
Forgery=fraud.
I cannot be a judge because I am extremely biased. I will pick his ugly, black aszze and throw it inside the bottomless pit of the Eko Atlantic where it belongs.
IyaebeTheGreat: You drifted and assumed things that never happened, nobody is talking about Nyash here infact her husband was the one busy going up and down to beg people on her behalf, this is an inside info I’m giving here. Her husband complained to people to talk to her over her arrogant attitude towards these people but it all fell on deaf ears. I’m a great supporter of women in politics because that’s where I’m headed but won’t back Natasha on her arrogance. It doesn’t take you anything as a woman to be respectful in the midst of something mostly dominated by men, it is wisdom. These people were ready to work for her through it all but she carelessly provoked them and they silently dealt with her. As for Chief Florence Ita Giwa, she’s one of the most successful female politician in the country.
It was because of the disrespect as a SINGLE woman in politics she decided to take refuge under marriage. She was a politician before she got married. It takes a woman with a very wide and deep nyansh that can accommodate a boar-constrictor to survive in Nigerian politics.
Once you do not smile with riff-raffs, you are disrespctful. Only in a SHYTEHOLE country of course.
After failing in the SE with the sit-at-home nonsense, this Pillsbury Dough Boy wants to whip up sentiments in Lagos State? What a nuisance. He thinks Obi is no longer relevant, so he can resume his mess. Useless man.
IyaebeTheGreat: Natasha still lacks something which made some of her party members voted against her. She's very disrespectful , she disrespected all the chieftain and grassroot elders whom she met in her party, she didn't appreciate them because there was authority from the Pdp headquarters that they should allow her to be the automatic flag bearer of the Pdp senatorial candidate , she got it as instructed and started lording it over them, disrespected all of them and they secretly worked against her. So she should rather take lessons from Senator Florence Ita Giwa and not Natasha. First hand info
When you don't divide your nyansh for 'burukutu' elders, you are disrespectful ke.
Natasha has worked hard for her mandate. . . . Florence Ita-Giwa ke? Now I know you are not serious.
The typical AFRICAN men will ALWAYS tear down women in politics, because they believe that women should be playthings in bed and slaves in the kitchen only. You have to sleep your way up from gateman to manager to be humbled and disgraced all for power. They will toss you from one to the other only to humiliate you.
Yet OBI is making y'aawl have sleepless nights. With all your fake degrees, all you can do is push drugs and lick microphone from one conference to another. Instead of celebrating, you are having nightmares of your impending WORLD DISGRACE. If OBI were an OBJ, ATIKU, GEJ OR AN ORTOM now. . . money would have bought his silence. See ya life?
1. There is no such thing as a successful honest politician. All have soiled fingers. 2. The political power in Nigeria resides with the north. The only way to defeat them is if east and south unify, but its impossible 3. Nigerians are emotional voters with selective memory. They will forgive all evil if they like you. 4. Nigerians are highly religious and tribalistic 5. You dont need the east to win Presidential elections. 25% is more than enough 6. The east needs other regions to produce the President, otherwise no way. 7. All political parties are riggers. The winners is who can rig the best and defend it in Court 8. Money answereth all things. What money cannot do, more money can do it. 9. Corruption can never be eliminated in Nigeria. Same as vote buying. 10. Do we even need democracy i'm not sure.
Power does not reside in the North. . . THE SOUTH GIVES THE NORTH POWER. . . .BY SELLING OUT THEMSELVES.
