truthsayer007:


You are a big mumu !

Even when women become equal to a man...a man will still abuse you if you marry an abusive husband.

Underage marriage is something that should be against the law in a country and not under gender equality

Mumu feminist like you !

Smh.....You should try to find out more about a concept before coming online to disgrace yourself
Even from ur second sentence it's very obvious you don't know what gender equality entails
Domestic abuse and child marriages are all part of the things that make up the fight for gender equality.
So before you quote me again, do urself a favour by researching the whole concept before embarrassing urself on a public forum!
Gracias

It's in our favour as a man if we can achieve equality of gender, that will reduce our burden as a man since it's now 50/50,... Even the resources needed to run the home

Exactly

ifenes:


Women have been oppressed for so long in Nigeria to the point that they think it is normal. After a while the slave will fall in love with his/her chains. Re-education and good reforms is what they need.

just quote me directly and type nonsense....

sumborri:
Stupid woman, gender this gender that, please who amongst you attended a mixed school and never saw girls In the class. This is a world where its easier for a woman to make it than a man, lots of prejudice on men folk. All these fools are interested in is simply to emasculate the men folk. They have succeded in doing that in the west and they wanna bring such crap here.

Its only someone who lies to himself that would tell me women are at a disadvantage. Many real women who know what doors their feminity has opened for them will never want to be a man. Bloody hyprocrites all wanna eat them cakes and have it.

Street hawkers that abound, are they predominantly females ? No males ? Are there no women in politics? Is there a rule that stops women from contesting like men? Or they expect to be made presidents and governors just beacuse they are women? There kind of women are the ones putting silly ideas into the minds of our well brought up african ladies. Who know that man has his role and woman has hers, nobody's role is inferior or superior to the other but are rather complimentary

And when it is time to go to war or fight boko haram women would complain of being marginalized or shout gender equality. how many men have died in wars protecting women and children ? yet they are still crying gender equality. What about danger equality ?

ifenes:


That is where the problem lies. I as a man would not be here without a woman. Women deserve our respect and praise,if possible worship. I would rather a Goddess over a god. The bible/Qur'an was written by men,note that. Women have key role in our society. A woman president in Nigeria will change things. We are equals, you women have been oppressed for so long.

Why not? A woman can propose marriage or die in silence. Some men can't make decisions. Our society needs a change where old rules and beliefs need to go.

Women deserve no special treatment, they should be accorded basic respect due to humans. Any other jara must be earned!.

Look here, I know all what you are saying

feminist like you are just using Child Marriage as an excuse to push other demise of your Genger Equality bullshit.

A minimum age of child before marriage can be put into Law by the Govt. (Simple and Short) - without any gender equality bullshit.

Who says Women and Men are not receiving equal treatment in the society ?

Is in Workforce or in Politics? Because as far as I know, there are prominent Women in politics that are doing well.

And as work is concerned, your remuneration depends on your productivity. Not on Gender.

You can be anything you want to be (Man or Woman), nobody is stopping you.





Mind you ! The same way this push is going, before you know it, lesbian women, gay men, bisexuals and transgenders in Nigeria will start pushing for their own Equality Rights too. It has happened in other countries, We have seen what led to it.

Gender equality is not a womans issue , it a human issue,, it affects us all......It means the views of both men and women should receive same treatment and to stop violence and discrimination against women .

Today women compete with men to take on jobs, However they must take care of their household needs before doing so.. Women are personification of courage and determination...............although I've seen some good men dropping their children off at the minder , schools , feeding them, cooking even washing dishes while their wives are at work .. or if they have to work long hours.

In terms of employment discrimination....Gendered arrangement of work , care and plan........ just cus a woman is pregnant , nursing a baby or starting a family does not mean she has to loose her job or cannot apply for some jobs she is qualified for....The worst is not being allowed to have kids while in some employment......while in some part of the world you will see a 7 month pregnant lady on TV interviewing people , reading the news and doing it so well...not by limiting them cus of this or that.

in terms of work place..as in ideal worker or committed worker....a man can work fulltime for 40 years straight .. while most women are not able to conform to the ideal worker role cus they are expected to fulfil their caretaker role and take time off for domestic reasons ..pregnancy, ill family member etc. Gender equality is also trying to change that for women so they are allowed to have time off and to understand and work round them... that will encourage a lot of nursing women to work.

to stop harmful practises to girls and women .. to let them have a say......such Female Genital mutilations , forced feeding, forced abortions, forced marriages...bride price and marital power.. is included because some men feel they own the women and subject them to all kinds of abuse ( marital rape, Domestic violence, abuse on requirement to bear children, society stigma and preventing them from leaving abusive marriages..........because they paid their bride price.....
women being unable to ask hubby to use condom .. rather than her taking pills due to her health conditions.....reproduction decisions .. etc

to stop dominance over women... men should not be allowed to molest women in any way or form either at home , work and in public .. just cus a woman dresses certain way or drunk does not give men the right to touch her.... beating women...s3x without consent or forced s3x, to encourage abused women to speak out ... law and protection for them. .. employers to stop using women as s3x tools to promote their businesses.. to stop sexual advances towards women at work.... women trafficking.... baby factory etc

Women want to be well represented in their parliaments and in decision making of the country...not that they want to take over... as in political participation.

The Gender equality bill is needed to enable women contribute more to development of a nation without any form limitation , fear or discrimination, and to stop exploitation of women by making them aware of their rights..

Most men already encourage Gender equality without even realising it ... e.g 1* A couple working ,the man sharing chores and running of their home so that wifey could go to work............No 2 is where the problem lies >Wifey working without the fear of discrimination, exploitation, abuse, unable to reduce her hours to see more of hers kids or start a family , unable to run her home properly, advances from male bosses , fear of losing her job, argument with hubby cos of work and money problems .... should also be the hubbys worry too etc.

3( Most modern day men will never allow their daughter to be subjected to the above.. some even train their daughters like sons

This is not about disobeying your hubby or being the head of your family.... It might not be happening where you are but it is still happening indirectly or directly in some part of the country.

Beremx:
That's the kind of thing Freeze likes, anything that is not favourable to women. When is he reconciling with his wife sef?

Dad...., pls change the noise station!

JOYOSITA:
I don't like Freeze.

As in ehn....?!
Still wondering how that 1 take "consign" us!

winner01:
Man and woman are not equal and will never be. The idea behind feminism is to attack the institutions of marriage and family, promote lesbianism, encourage women to leave their husbands and neglect their children, destroy capitalism e.t.c Inequality is why a woman has to bear the burden of child birth for about 9 months for an act performed by both a man and a woman, and the man gets to still be himself . I can give more examples.

What women need is equal rights and oppourtunities. And that is equity and fairness, not equality.

Spot on!

These clownz should start their "equality" noise from d "9-month course".

Invariably, they are calling God "unfair/a cheat"!

SSAINTSAMURAI:
lol it means the meeting together of iyawura and prosper

How did I miss this thread

Happy with most of the comments on here

If you're a lady and you opposed the BS in the op, I automatically love you


"Feminism is Cancer"

Philpham:

I see you are still a local champion. Its gender inequality that has made Africa the most backward underdeveeloped continent in the whole world and its worse with people of crass mentality like yours.
Gender equality is existent and powerful in western countries. That gender discrimination happens to women and goes unpunished in tge western countries is that the woman involved has not made it public.
So dont go around treating their women like nothing cos you will be finished for life.

also happier continent with fewer divorce and gay ppl

Mickeymimi...Thanks so much for that post

If according to you, everything is all rosy for the for women folks then what else are feminists pushing for?
abi why push for equality rights if according to you we have equal rights?
Truth is only men and women who don't understand what equal treatment means will say men and women are entitled to the same rights.
And mind you, that something is written on paper doesn't necessarily mean it is practiced
So I put it to you once again that you should find out what we are really fighting for

That's exactly what the problem is, what are you people fighting for, state it, if you can't state it clearly that everyone would understand, then, you have no point, I don't understand how people can be fighting for battles that doesn't exist, If you say it exists and you can't state it, then there's a problem, don't say people should go and research, you want to change something, give us information, we can even help you to achieve it, because right here in Nigeria, women are not limited educationally, politically, in career or anything. If you talk about Violence on women or abuse, you don't need equality bill for that, there are bills already to protect women, what you activists should do is ensure they are enforced where they're not, because even if you have the gender equality bill, you'll face the same problem of implementation, bill doesn't change anything, implementation is the real deal, I'm in support of fight for the right of women and all, but this gender equality thingin has an unknown agenda - If you have problem with your gender, talk to God, don't fight men, If you're not comfortable with the role of women in marriage - don't get married, it's not by force(and leave the women who are enjoying their marriage in peace), If you say you like how's being done in the western world - Go there and don't come back, our society must remain intact, no yama-yama.

I never said everything is all rosy for Women folks, I just want you to know we pass through the same issues as women in terms of Work, Education and Politics.

The most gender based oppression in Africa is marriage issue and domestic violence happenings, which i agree about that one.

Because we have plenty traditions. You need to first abolish all those traditions first.

I think Lailan and Uche Jumbo are not very wise.

Olori is the wife of Ooni of Ife, who is seen as one of the major custodians of Yoruba culture and the last I remembered, Yoruba culture doesn't cater to gender equality.

Honestly, if the Olori said she believed in gender equality, I would have suspected her account was hacked.

mpowa:


I think things shouldn't be muddled together, nobody is against the protection of women in the society, women are definitely not as strong as men so they should be protected in any progressive society(together with children), you don't need an equality bill for that, talking about families taking advantage of you, if you marry the right man, nobody can do that, even if you have no child, your husband should protect against - That's why we have Will, my father is late for eleven years now and no family dare step on our property to claim anything, my father hasn't even created his Will before his sudden demise, how much more, if you have your Will intact to protect your family.

There are bills already against Violence on women and child abuse, and there can be more bills if necessary, we will support it if it's right, but this gender equality thing comes with another agenda, it comes with seemingly good intention but it's responsible for destruction of families and value in the western world. Man is not equal to Woman, God is not confused, Starting from how they look physically, they're not the same, and in the Family & Society, Man is chosen has head, and this doesn't make Woman inferior, it's just a role, In school, we have Class governor because everyone can't be governor, it doesn't mean governor is better than us all, when God's order is accepted, the society and family move in peace, man leads the family and love his wife, she in turn takes care of her family, when it's rejected we open the door for all kinds of vices, competitions, strive, broken homes and heartaches, then lesbianism, trans-gender and all kinds of vices, instead of having Adam an Eve, we start having Ada and eve. My uncle's wife woke up one day in the Uk and says she's breaking up with him, she took two-third of his wealth and every other money he'll be making in the future and also took the kids, now the guy is rendered useless(everything na women right, so much that the man doesn't have right again), Little wonder there's so much babymama, men are dodging the women trouble, we're in peace in Africa for now, pls let's avoid agendas that will cause Katakata. Like I said, I support protection against women, anywhere women are marginalized, we must speak up against it and pass bills on that, it shouldn't be muddled with equality, we're not created equal and will never be, any agenda that wants to sneak in to destroy our society must be confronted, the way i see it, women have more opportunites in this society than men

you have spoken well,but I grew up in naija and because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it's not happening else where, I for one know why until now, a woman is not completely settled in her matrimonial home until she has a male child, my tribe and some tribes I know still practice it,infact my grandfather once said a female child is the responsibility of the mother, all my aunties were not sponsored beyond primary 6,and even when he died,they never got any single property even if there where enough lands to go round, I know if my dad should die today, only my brothers will get access to my dad's things.There are so many tradition that seems to limit the female gender that's my concern,some traditions forbid their daughters from leaving their matrimonial home even if they are battered by their husbands, I know a neighbor who died because of the so called tradition.I for one don't intend to compete with my future husband, all I am interested in is to know that my rights as a human being is protected and not treated lesser because the tradition says so

Philpham:


If all these u mentioned is what is a burden to men I can tell you women if given the opportunity will do it even better in a bigger style and still not complain.
This is to show how irresponsible men are becoming these days.

I never said its a burden, but a responsibility on a males path and if gender equality is the case, the responsibility must be share and not based on a dependent party.

That's the point 'respects and rights' not equality.

adimsmt:




It is obvious now that this gender equality bill failed because of marriage equality, Good marriages are as a result of hard work, what you put in is what you get out. What this bill are trying to do are enhancing and protecting the right of your partner nothing less. This bill is about you and your wife equally making decisions regarding your family. This bill is about your wife being protected from those wolfs who hides in the name of culture and traditions to reap where they did not sow. This bill give your wife the right to make decisions about what you and your wife has labored for years for your children. This bill is about allowing your wife reach her potential without hindrance. This is about your wife not being a slave. All and all this bill is all about respect of human beings.

You need to know the difference between equality and equity and also research on common characteristics of the male and female gender.

Adeborry:

What are you afraid of, women? Sir afraid of equal rights and opportunities, being fair and impartial to your wife? what is it that men in our country are bashing their heads and fighting tooth and nail just hearing the word EQUALITY?

she's just being rude..even if you want to explain..explain without such annoyance..it wont take you guys anywhere...obviously the olori has a point and so does Uche and the other defenders..the difference is they are taking it too seriously..no body wins a fight that way..women and how they express feelings#me inclusive

Yoruba culture doesn't cater to gender equality.

I doubt you are Yoruba. If you are not, I will advise you not to speak authoritatively on matters you are not conversant with. And if you are (Yoruba), I will advise you read more about your culture.
