Still on Women Conference:
Other highlights
1. VAPP – Violence Against
Persons (Prohibition) Act 2015 to commemorate President Jonathan’s assent
thereto exactly two years ago before he left office
3. GEJ’s gender posture was commended; also his 35% female representation in cabinet
in keeping with campaign promises and it was said (not me as I said I did not
say a word at the conference just listened to others for the first time and had
tea coffee with them and ALL exchanged warm cordiality and courtesy) that some of the corrupt practices traced to women in Jonathan’s
cabinet should not be the reason for
President Buhari’s apparent anti-gender posturing because the principle of exclusion was not extended to
men by reason that corrupt male politicians and public office holders exist.
Meaning just as President Buhari is giving more men opportunities he ought also
to give women 35% affirmative action
because women voted for him.
4. That it was part of
the crowd of female voters that President Buhari’s wife Aisha is puling from to
pray for the first citizen and reports trickling online say PMB is improving in
UK, this due to women prayers;
5. That you pray for
someone to live and the person doesn’t want women to also live; what an irony?
6. President Buhari’s
celebrated gender statement “my wife
belongs to the kitchen” with a nice smile on his face saying it, was ticked
a clever statement intended to make women appear foolish politically and
economically for supporting PMB.
7. That women
constitute more than half the voters population in Nigeria and are usually
committed people and should use population strength to form a political party and
win elections with a female Chair!
8. Male contributor
made a cheerful note that men have failed Nigeria and he suggests we may pass
the baton of leadership to women to steer the ship.
Best regards
CA
