Why do you think there is a very low rate of female executives in the banking sector?

What do you think?

You really don't have to accept my opinion though it was made

through observations. You went all the way to the CEO's but

stylishly bypassed the BM's and Head of Operations in the same

sector which I can tell you if you care to know is also dominated

by women. Do your own research it's quite easy. You don't seek

immediate balance at the top when clearly the body is already

distorted. Irrespective though, If the trend continues then it's

only a matter of time before women will also share that space

cause they will be more in ratio compared to the men.

I didn't stylishly, I factually went there because its the same if it were a white or black man, or an igbo or Hausa man, or a foreigner and a citizen, but now that it is man an woman you want to trivialise it.

Well most women interested in getting to the top do not because they do not have the support system.

There are husbands who outrightly frown at their wives going past a certain point.

Some others don't care what you do as long as you perform 'your duties'.

Some others actively encourage their wives to grow till they want.

Mrs. Ibukun Awosika always emphasizes the need to get husbands to support wives. She understands that if the man is not onboard, there is only so much the wife can do.

This op is laden with enough sense.

The emphasis should be on the coperation of the genders, not on the rivalry as deluded feminists make it sound.

The real powers that push this feminist agenda know exactly the goal they want to achieve with it. The divorce rate in western countries is a testament to that. If u want to destroy the society, disorganize the family units first.

Very true.

Thanks

I almost missed this brilliant piece. I've been arguing this out on a Whatsapp page with some intellectuals.
I agree 100% with your piece. There is so much emphasis especially without any form of filtration, on the girl-child in Nigeria presently. There is increase in free educational opportunities for graduate and post graduate education for females generally than the males. Even in the North, international organizations are always putting up different programs on "educate the girl-child". Meanwhile, the boy child has been neglected. The higher percentage of boko-haram members is the boy child, almajiris, agberos and many more; these are neglected males who grow up to become greater nuisance to our dear country. They say that "when you educate a woman, you educate a nation" but yet, they've not taken it into consideration that the statement is truer for the males than the female. Boys are dropping out of schools faster in our environment now but there's nobody to recognize them. Nigeria as a country need to focus on ita own peculiar challenges and forget international problems, it's making us less focused on what's of most concern to us.

Thanks

I really agree with you.

We need to start including the boys.

not as if I'm married at all buhh...it's not far'fetched.

"she is the wife, the mother of the kids."
even if she turns out to be the richest in the world, she still needs to know, acknowledqe that fact.
she needs to be praqmatic about it as well.

It may seem like it's unfair but the truth is that the world will treat a woman kinder. When it comes to men, no one really cares... it's to thy tent oh Israel. So be kind to men out there but be careful not to be misconstrued as flirtatious, cos a lot of them are walking around with pent up rage and anger due to the cold icy world they find themselves.

If you even check the suicide rates, men are leading the pack. Obviously the load gets too heavy for them so they check out cos no time to check time. A man MUST be strong and resilient because ko easy ooo.

Hmmm

Quite a read so I wanted to take my time.

I so much agree with this article. The difference between boys and girls should be noted and he isn't the first highlighting that the formal school system produces docile boys. I wonder what they had prior to now.

I also admire him highlighting two stages boys' differences stand out: Ages 4 and 8. Parents armed with this info are better equipped to handle their boys and girls at that age.

While praising single moms, he still hammered what every other person said: A boy needs a good father figure to turn out well.

Also guiding kids inline with their risk factors is very important too.

I liked the part where he addressed the issue of po*rnography. We can no longer act like our parents and make s*ex a taboo because our kids have an easy access to p*orn. If they do not learn from us, that s*exuality is emotional and women are not objects to be used and abused, they will learn from the p*orn industry and there is some really sick stuff out there for them to learn from.

Very true.

Learning about sex from p*orn also distorts what intimacy should be between male & female.

Good morning.

Sex is an emotional stuff only to women.


Can you tell me you don't have sex just for the sake of the sex itself?
