It's now that you people just heard the news abi? I even wonder sef, do we as Nigerian women actually want equality? We are way too passive on the matter.


What am I even saying? Your pastors/Imams say you are unequal to a man, so how can you stand up to or challenge him? I just got to know today that, in Islam, if a woman wears perfume,walks by and a man perceives the fragrance, she automatically becomes an adulteress, that's just reasonable

All these celebrities are just disappointing, they can't even use their influence, do they even know what's happening in the country?


You are even pleading with them to consider the bill, what a joke. Go and roll on the floor, continue crying and pleading, this one is not nearly enough.


Nonsense.

What is your own contribution? Or are you not a woman?

A woman a night guard? You re a BIG LIAR!!!
According to the Section 55 of the Labour Act , it prohibits women from working in the night. The section provides that “no woman shall be employed on night work in a public or private industrial undertaking or in any branch thereof, or in any agricultural undertaking or any branch thereof.” The only exception is for nurses.

This is Naija now! Anything is possible even a kid knows that!

Excuzeme:
Yes, there are women in the military but they are NEVER deployed to the War front.
What they do is called "Support Services".

Seek knowledge, at all times.

u need the knowledge more than i do.

Would u send ur wife or sister in the military to sambisa?, i guess No shld be the answer if ur nt a hypocrite.

Women are made frm creation to play THE SUPPORTIVE ROLE to men and dats why God said to man that He has made man a HELP MATE.

#Seek knowledge first b4 u quote me again.

here comes the unfortunate one. Speak less.

We are not talking of size here. We are talking about the rights and opportunity to pursue whatever dreams or ambitions a woman has and not be hindered by prejudices.

That is where they are getting it wrong, They use inappropriate words. Equal access/opportunity is what they should fight for. Not Equal gender. That we have equal access does not mean that we are equal. Take note

All these female politicians & micro human rights activists seeking cheap popularity. Mrs woman leader, has being a woman hindered you from carrying out your political looting or has any particular law in Nigeria prohibited women from holding any particular post? I honestly don't understand what their yearnings are. If there were inhibiting laws in the constitution, you Mrs woman leader would have been led by a man.

But that is exactly what the bill is about. If the word 'gender' is the problem,by all means use your own words!

if i haven't seen i won't be opposing any one.

How many Nigerians knowns what's written in the constitution?, since the constitution is ur bestfriend and didn't stop women frm joining the military and taking up Jobs made for men jst because they have to run their homes.

sparklebug:
for all those criticizing the proposed bill, have you all bothered to read it?why are you so afraid of making a widow take sole custody of her children? or is it the equitable sharing of her husbands estate that is scaring you men? don't you all know your sisters, daughters, mother's can benefit from this bill? as a man who has slaved all his life to provide for his home wouldn't you want your properties to go to your wife and kids in the case of your untimely demise?

read the proposed bill! it addresses ills women have suffered in the society! abi is it the word ''equality'' there scaring all of you? educate yourselves!!

an applaud for you,most people think passing the bill will make the tables turn in the home,even the educated ones are afraid and would rather hide under the guise of tradition

You definitely need the education more. Tell where in Nigeria constitution that deprives wives of husbands' estate. Moreover, is a man's estate not supposed to be for their children? Or do you, Nigeria women have the intentions of killing your husbands on time in order to delve into their estates? It's really appalling to read lame arguments of the women who seek equal rights (as if it was denied ab initio).

Let any woman who have been denied her dreams and rights because she's a woman stand up.
I can post thousands of Job placement advert that specifically request for ladies. I am yet to see one that says 'strictly for men', even the military recruitment.
Nigeria women are just bunch of confused lot.
Even the traditions does not force women to do things extraordinary, you can always opt out.

You realize you live in country where it is legal to marry a 13 year old, right? A country where the divorce laws favors men more. I can go on and on.....

Kath5kouture:

Gender equality generally sends wrong information. So the term should not be used. Clamor for equal opportunity. Not Gender equality!

The senate never disputed the fact that women should be allowed to be a senate president. But They will never accept gender equality because it is against reality

How?

yekparikpa:
My only fear is that our women might end up abusing this right.

herbie27:
women do night guards, if u've nt seen i have.

There are women in the military, maybe u shld ask Burutai why he never sends women to sambisa.

I don't need to ask Burutai why he had not sent women to Sambisa. We all know the reason so why asking him?

Enesi13:
pls if you voted buhari be patient and dont rush to criticise as most top civil servants, economic and political elite are deliberately making economy and everything dificult just for the masses to see him as failure, the illegal money dats is always going somewhr is blocked and some stake holders created and unhealthy way of making petroleum scarce which cld result to decline in everything. pls this is not the time to regret voting buhari, atleast the national wealth is safe and even the most cronic anti buhari knows this, let us stand with buhari in dis trying time to stamp out corruption and insurgency of any type

You are crazy!

babyfaceafrica:
anyone who wants equality should not be choosy,if you want to be treated like a man,you should also face what they face,ladies should ask men out,ladies should also go to sambisa forest to fight boko haram,they should aalso pay bide price to men like its done in India,should stop referring themselves weaker sex....e.t.c

All these will be possible when you learn to write good english and get your spellings and grammar right.

SirToby:
The same bill was first rejected in Enugu state last month.
PDP and South east are both a cursed to nigeria government

Sir Toby is an abomination in Nigeria!

Kema kema...OBJ babe dat year...I pray senate reconsider the bill

Okay you want the whiteman style of a wife throwing the husband out of his house? For the early marriage, is it not perculiar to a set of bigotted people? More than one wife, were they coerced that is my question?
If a lady doesn't feel comfortable being a second wife, I'm yet to see a Nigeria law that forces her to be. Instead, its the women who willingly plunge into such unions. I know of a lady that is seeking a rich man to marry her even at the cost of being a second or third wife. Is anybody forcing her to do it, no?
What we don't realise in this country is that, we have fantastic laws, it's in the implementations we have challenges. Even if they succeed in their myopic pursuit, who will implement it? The
Nigeria woman is not refined enough to want to revert sexual roles. When they go about looking for a man to bear theirs and their family burdens instead of developing themselves.

herbie27:
this Gender equality bill, is it wen it is passed dat rape will stop or mortality rate will reduce?.

Gender equality depends on hw women see themselves b4 men.

It is only a woman with LOW SELF ESTEEM dat sees men as superior being dan them and at times we see men wit LOW SELF ESTEEM.

What is dis gender equality bill they are fighting for?, because in the labour force their are women wit better jobs dan men.

Very many women with better jobs that they don't even need but get all the same because they're opportuned to be married to an influencial man. Women don't fight against these kinda injustice.

How convenient that you completely avoided the example of marriages with 13 year olds. Nice. The whole point of equality is to give women the same opportunities as men. Women are not a sub species of the human race. And the "white man" style as you put it is to protect women from mentalities such as yours. Where some men treat women like dirt just because they are bigger and stronger. In Nigeria, a man can just decide to bring in another woman into his home and kick his wife out and there's nothing anyone can do about it. How is that right or fair? Please come and do that shiiit over here and see if the courts won't take you to the cleaners. And just so you'd know, one of the main reasons the equality bill was put forth, is because of people who deprive teenagers of a future by forcibly marrying them.

Come to think of it, would this gender equality allow ladies to pay for and marry a man of their choice and not be on the waiting list of any man?

When a woman contested for Governorship in Taraba state, did she get 100% support and vote from the women, even taking the contest even to the courts?

in the civil service, what is the ratio of women to men employed?

why are they using rape and domestic violence to argue their case? even in America such crimes do happen, and won't stop because it's included in any gender equality bill.
as for a husband sharing his property to his wife, what is the function of a Will?

But am sorry ma! Nigerian Women are too frivolous, and their out compulsive desires when given positions scares the men a lot....the slight inequality found in our political system today, can be understood, when you trace it down to the Nigerian cultural heritage......

Black men can never be equal to white men. Afterall it is a white mans God you are serving, his clothes you wear, government you practice , education you benefit from. I wonder who's fooling who. Nigerians are the worst hypocrites on Mother Earth.

I serve God who is in Heaven nd I believe in the bible,so if you serve a white man god,that is your biznexx. I gave my personal take on this matter and I still stand to it that WOMEN can never equal MEN. If pple sees things diff from you does not make dem hypocrites. The day you give equal right to a woman,then you will know the real woman she is.

Black man know yourself, you have no self dignity , no honour, infact you are lost. Obama is not black but of mixed race. Also your forefathers became a slave the same time they became a christian or muslim , these are facts !! Hard cold facts!! Women are physically at a disadvantage when compared to men , its a nature they never asked for , so why cant we give them the same rights as men? Who are we to say who is equal or not? What God were you talking about? The same one that said all men are equal in his eyes? I doubt you and the women you hate serve the same God. If u say women are less than men , then blacks are less than whites , afterall you dare not stand before a white woman and harrass her.

lolzz, first of all, Obama is a Kenyan man n he's black get ur facts please - I didn't bother reading the rest of your statement after reading this. Obama's father was Kenyan, black, and his mother white, all American, now tell us how that makes him a black man. Take a good look at Obama, does he look black to you? Really? I rephrase, does he look like you in any way? You can call out to your "god" mantra as much as you like but it will not change the fact that you can not stand before women like Remi Tinubu and utter such simple minded words like women are not equal to men. You hate women because you fear them, fact!!. Gender equality bill , god or no god, women will always find a way to get to the top, like it or not. I end this conversation with "Know your history", go and read about the great women of Africa who were both leaders and warriors. Today am fighting for women's equality, tomorrow i will fight for you as well because unlike you, i believe everyone should live free and equal in terms of human rights.
