Hope Isl@mabad does not know the location!

Haaaaaaaa... nawa ooooo...Nijeriya!

Righteousness2:
Oga Pope, Stand with Those that Love Peace.

Stand with those that Stand with Word of GOD, the Bible which you claim to carry.

Be bold against TERRORISTS and KILLERS and those who seek to Destroy and Eliminate GOD'S COVENANT PEOPLE.

Don't be Neither here nor there. GOD ALMIGHTY Hates such.

STAND BOLDLY WITH THE MORAL ARMY OF THE WORLD AND GOD'S COVENANT NATION ISRAEL.

Most Important, STAND WITH GOD, THE BIBLE AND THE WORD OF GOD.

YOU cannot Claim to be a Christian and Be against ISRAEL. Such a Person no matter the Title or appointment or whatever is FAKE.

Neither can you claim to be a Christian and stand with violence!

That's the true gospel! Sounding politically correct on matters of Christ is foolishness.

If I were President, the criterion for remaining in office for an army chief would be to show the number of terrorists that chief united with their maker. In fact, you'd be prosecuted for wasting tax payers' monies if it goes below par.

It's simply demonic to even conceive such!

PlasmaTV:
Seun, this your new ad system is absolutely horrible and off-putting. Fix it.

Honestly. I thought it's my browser and deleted it. Alas it's Seun! Even if he will.do ads, it should be embedded not at the top!

Yet, bandits are collecting ransom and that cannot be curbed....one Nijeriya!

This is my own candidate, one in whom I'm well pleased.

They would ask to be murdered if the man is a man, see this one now...he brought mist have taken the statement literally!

If you have to show the enemy that you are on the way and even snap the car you are in....

NOETHNICITY:
Every educated sane person knows what Wike was referring to. We know he never meant it literally. In fact Wike and Seun are palls. But anyway food is on the table for people who believed Buhari was replaced with one El sadani

It's a chronic self-delusion problem!

CV.... ...You're funny ooooooo!

Lols..."escape poverty" ....remember heaven while you are at it! Everything you see today will be consumed with fire.

Are you referring to helping to reveal a lack of home training and personal values?

She looks good.though...I like to see women corporately dressed.

So it means they are incapable of wisdom without women! How did they become the object of attraction to the women if they were incapable of rational thought? The funds...the car...everything? Abeg shift.

Nawa oooo..Oh Jagaban, the father of Nigerian politics!

YoungG102:
you think US is stupid abi, grant Christian asylum so that islamic jihadist will troop into US using Christian identities and later go convert back to Islam when they reach US. You think they're stupid abi

America is not a refugee camp!

Is the look in the third picture for me by the aids...

FreeStuffsNG:
Nope. The woman is the prize

If you are a Grade A male and see a Grade A woman, you will know that she is the prize.


Especially in her case, she earned it and deserves to get the man of her dreams.

A Weak man,a loser, especially a weak man raised to disrespect women and modelled by weak, poor fatherly role models, can never meet or identify Grade A woman even if they meet one.

Here is wishing her the best. There are loads of very successful musical artists that are in loving and godly marriages.

Tems will get her own man and both of them will live happily ever after.

A good woman will always remain an asset. In fact, they are born with it, except of course, they destroy it.

Unfortunately, the motivation is only to be serviced!

Lols...it's like saying he would send Sowore home.

You block your fellow poor men to protest when you can easily go to Aso Villa.

When a grass cutter becomes a counselor!

You see...

It's never too late to begin anything good.

Multina it is for me.

Yet, she ate the fruit and got her eyes opened (knowing the consequences of that act in full), but gave it to the innocent man, rather than save him from destruction. Keep deceiving yourself!

OOAkolawole:
For years—indeed, for decades—there has been a consistent call for equal representation, women’s inclusion in leadership, and greater female participation in governance. Conferences have been held, policies proposed, quotas debated, and campaigns launched.

Yet, progress has been slower than many expected.

This raises an uncomfortable but necessary question:
What if the conventional approach is not enough?
What if we need to think differently—strategically, even unconventionally?

Beyond Gender: The Real Issue Is Access

Let us start with a difficult truth.

Leadership is not fundamentally about gender—it is about access:

Access to networks

Access to funding

Access to mentorship

Access to political structures


Many women are not excluded simply because they are women, but because they are locked out of the systems that produce leaders.

At the same time, it must be acknowledged that there are still structural and cultural barriers—including conservative norms and gatekeeping attitudes—that limit women’s participation. Importantly, these barriers are not enforced by men alone; sometimes, they are reinforced by women within the same system.

So the issue is layered:

It is about gender

But also about structure

And deeply about access


History Has Already Proven the Possibility

History—both in Nigeria and globally—has shown that women can lead effectively when given the opportunity.

Figures like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala have demonstrated global leadership capacity at the highest levels. In business, Ibukun Awosika has shown what strategic leadership and governance look like.

These are not symbolic figures—they are proof that competence is not gendered.

Rethinking the Strategy: Power Must Be Shared Intentionally

Here is where the unconventional idea comes in.

Power is rarely given accidentally—it is transferred deliberately.

In politics, especially, succession is often engineered:

Leaders groom successors

Political networks decide outcomes

Influence shapes candidacy


If that is the reality, then one pathway to women’s leadership is not just advocacy—but intentional power transfer.

This means:

Influential men supporting capable women into leadership roles

Political structures deliberately promoting female candidates

Families with political capital investing in daughters as much as sons


In simple terms:
Those who hold power must be willing to share it.

The Role of Men in Women’s Leadership

This may sound controversial, but it is practical.

Successful systems often involve partnership.

Just as many powerful women have supported men behind the scenes, powerful men can—and should—actively support women into visible leadership roles:

Mentoring them

Funding their ambitions

Endorsing their candidacy

Stepping aside when necessary


This is not charity.
It is strategic nation-building.

Political Reality: Influence Shapes Outcomes

In Nigerian politics, influence matters.

If a powerful political figure like Bola Ahmed Tinubu decides to support a female candidate for a major office, the possibility becomes real—not theoretical.

We have seen how political structures can produce successors.

So the real question is not:
Can women lead?

The real question is:
Will those who control political structures create space for them?

Imagining the Possibilities

Nigeria has a pool of capable women across sectors—economics, governance, business, civil society.

It is not unrealistic to imagine:

A woman emerging as president in the future

A female governor in major states like Lagos

More women occupying strategic decision-making roles


But these outcomes will not happen by chance.

They will require:

Structural support

Political will

Strategic endorsement


Merit Still Matters

It is important to be clear:

This is not about promoting women regardless of competence.

It is about ensuring that competent women are not excluded from opportunity.

Leadership should always be based on:

Capacity

Integrity

Vision

Results


Gender should not be a barrier—but neither should it replace merit.

Final Thought

Women’s inclusion in leadership is not a trend or a favor—it is a necessity for balanced governance.

But advocacy alone is not enough.

We must move from:

Talking about inclusion
to

Structuring inclusion


From:

Demanding opportunity
to

Creating pathways


The future of leadership will not be determined only by who is qualified—but by who is given the platform to lead.

And that is a decision society must make—deliberately.

Thank you chatgpt. They said they don't need men. Let them hustle for it!

Just imagine the people that want to take over from the calamity! There's no point wasting time on Nigerian elections. Nature itself would phase out that generation.
