IG user reacts to Olori Wuraola's speech on Gender Equality
After Olori Wuraola's take on the Gender equality bill, she got some backlash and support from different people. Below is what Diary of a Naija girl thinks about it: Read her full post below:
Dear Olori, The reason you can hold a microphone and speak in public rather than at the backyard of the palace cooking jollof rice while your husband travels the world, is because of women like you who fought for us to live life and enjoy it equally like anyone else . Please see below a summary of what the fight for gender equality is about: .. **If I work for 3 hours and a man works for 3 hours, we both deserve to get paid the same **A woman can now decide that, Marriage shall mean Partnership, Friendship, companionship as well as Passion; not slavery **I am not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, or more responsible than a man. Likewise, I am never less **If a man’s virginity cannot be tested on the wedding night, mine shouldn’t be tested as well **Because my husband has authority in my home does not make me inferior. We are both equal in essence and worth. Our responsibilities are just different **It means that my character/behaviour is solely guided by my principles not by society’s expectation of how I “should” behave **It means that I can wear a crown too! Ask Queen Elizabeth . Your Royal Highness, do not be deceived, your belief in this revolution has absolutely no bearing in its movement. Stand tall, behind the king, watch as more women understand this concept, watch as they break the glass ceiling, reaching straight for the moon… and beyond…in their Louboutins
Una see wetin dstv an oyinbo film don cos, people no longer respect out culture a tradition that brought us this far, america freedomism and over sabi is now spoil their head, sorry instgram user, if u parent did not teach ur culture, we will teach u in our society.
When I was young, I use to like everything about the white man, now that have grown into a man, I now understand why our fore father made things the way the did in our culture. A society that does not respect he foundation will collapse.
If you leave many of these women, they will scrap the royal position that hold our society and say everyone is free, that is a woman for u, they fickle, this minute they r happy, the other minute they r not , you cannot leave society in their care.
One cannot look at this kind of issue from the religion point o view, not everyone is a Christian or muslim. But only from the law that guilds us all, which is Natural Law.
Naturally, men and women do not hav the same physical look, so Is in role and activities. Why look f equality, when the natural l already protects u, it is bcos u women r mixing the white man view that is cosing the high rate of women being single , over 30
Olori, spot on, we must fight this america freedomism out o our society, along wit dstv
Freedomism that led them to where they are today! Where are we today Africa? Where are we today Nigeria? Our president left his country for London to see a ENT specialist when we have a lot of them here. Thanks to Mary slessor, u might be dead now! We need all hands for nation development. Everyone has a role to play! A girl child should be sent to school as the boys. None is less! Fight the internet too Ode!!! @anonymous 10.21pm
I stopped listening to her rubbish when she gbagaun-ed. Who asked her to spk in public with such bad English? I don't even want to talk about the subject. Shame catch me for this babe. Then h facto nearly finish her. Go back to school mami.
I don't know why women want this gender equality thing. Yes I agree I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen cooking or not be able to work but as a business owner, I'd never pay a man and a woman that does the same job the same salary. Most times, men can undertake more, they don't have cramps and slow down on their work load, they don't get pregnant or have to beg to pick their kids from school. If the roles were different and men went through all these "unforeseen circumstances" they'll be treated thus. Women have to get used to being women. Of course we are not inferior, God created us from Adam's rib for a purpose right? We deserve to be respected, treated fairly compared to the next person, even siblings are not loved equally by parents. Like someone said we are equal in the eyes of God because only He is capable of looking at all of us as equals, regardless of how rich/poor, fat/thin, short/tall, male/female
Abeg i dont need any man in my life to treat me like a slave in the kitchen. Technology has made it easy for women. I will just look for a sperm donor or buy sperm from sperm bank and have my kids through surrogate or IVF and train them myself. I can work and get a cook too. At least my children will not complain that i did not come home on time to cook for them. Also, they will take care of me when i am old. I really dont need a man and their wahala. Rubbish!
@Anonymous 9:29PM and 10:21PM Since you want to remain backward and stick to the African culture put in place by man not God, why are you on this blog using phone and data which are technologies created by the white man? Why did you learn the western english language? Why didnt you remain an illiterate in your village? Instead of you to move forward with the western culture, you are moving backwards and want to drag women backwards with you. Bloody hypocrites!
These days marriage has become a scam in disadvantage to the men..we share d same culture with perfect understanding..girls are submissive & very loyal as a GF cuz thts what it takes to show d African man why u r d wifey material..this characters even makes a lot of guys commit so much financially to this relationships having seen a perfect African woman...why do u now get married,start all this Internet and blog addictions then trouble starts...she starts to learn how to stand her ground selfishly..she runs to blogs for comment tht explains her situation..slowly slowly she starts to learn d stupid joy in divorce...we hv culture here for a reason..if u wanna act d man,be urself from datin and courtship...don't wait till u commit a man to marriage ...if u hv a troublesome woman as wife u understand me
Few days ago,all I did was ask my rude wife for a little favour to help drive OUR guests to d mall since I will be at work from 8am-8pm...she told me I should listen to d rubbish I'm telling her..i shook my head and cried inside AGAIN..we hv a culture for a reason..to uphold our marriages..but the women in this generation choose to not value marriage or wot it takes from a woman on her part..they just want to be as confrontational as d man cuz of d insane comments from fellow ladies..half of them r divorced or old single mum..i weep for this generation and I weep for my life cuz I'm in my own hot soup and hv been for almost 7yrs and guess wot? Prolly forever cuz I plan to uphold my marriage and give my kids Life..do u think d wife cares about all that?NO first problem is "I'm pretty another person will marry me"... I just promised myself that we both can't be doing wrong..i will b a fool to stay and keep thing almost right...chai
Enough with your lies! You think we are all as stupid as you are? Africans sha! They will not drop the real issue rather they will add salt and pepper to it so they can mislead people!
There is a social caste women occupy...there is an order(which incidentally is also backed up by the injunctions in the Holy books)in which each gender has a distinct and important role.To seek to be equal to your husband means trying to upturn the balance when the Bible calls a person the 'head'.Feminists are just disturbed persons and probably insecure females too in my view .
Chai! Bros ur acct. no. Plz. If lemme gt u a full bottle of wine 4 Sunday chillin.Dis response wz epic. @Joyous,u see ur life! Devvelop ur intellect and stop hatin a culture that has brought u dis far.#LMAO, thnks boss
Culture we both share with perfect understanding before marriage,to even get the marriage...should not be compromised after the marriage...bitches like to play d victim after marriage..
So long you are African there is nothing like gender equality. That's the african culture. Women are to respect and serve the men. Your fathers and great grandfathers went through all of this. Even proper Africans living abroad with their families follow the same tradition regardless of the belief in that country. You Africans are just copy cats that's your problem..always wana do whatever the westerners do!
When our father's and grandfather were enjoying all that, the women were basically housewives who just give birth to helpers in the name of children. Also the wealthy like Abraham in the Bible had servants. Men need to respect women as individuals and not slaves. After all some women are even the breadwinners. Funny enough it's broke guys that support this. When I was with my broke ex, he literally expected me to be his slave and also to have a 9 to 5 job. Now I'm with my rich boyfriend, I've never even cooked for him and he doesn't expect it as his mother did not do all those things while he was growing up. Do you think Aisha Buhari is a slave in their house? No! And also women should not be forced to respect men because they are the heads of the home, but to respect them because the are humans. With this attitude u'll see women respecting even themselves and other women. And it's the same broke ass men that will complain when their girlfriends(slaves) ask them for money for upkeep saying money is not everything, but a girl should be a slave to be a good wife material
Also I have taken a screen shot of your asinine comment, name, Blog link, etc and will be calling your employers at Canadian Tire. Let's see how Trudeau's people will take this.
I don't know if your senses are working properly but I doubt it. What does gender equality have to do with being African? Once also, women never used to work but now it's a norm. I'm sure someone like you would just be happy to have a slave as a wife then. A trophy wife if I may. Bruh, don't be backwards. This is progress we're talking about. The fact that girls can now dream and not be held back from it. That females now have a voice. Like Malala Yousafzai said, how do you expect a country to move forward when half the population is held back? People like you, who think that women are just here to serve men, are the plague. Hell, you're worse than the plague. Let's hope your own daughters weren't created to serve as sex toys and cooks. Receive sense.
While everyone's entitled to their opinion, I choose to disagree with yours. Do not generalize ALL Africans like this. Not everyone is like you. If you choose not to value women and treat them as equals fine, but do not say that is what ALL Africans think and how ALLL Africans behave. For God's sake it is 2016! While some still live in the past and do what their forefathers did before them, some have EVOLVED and now know better and welcome their wives, mothers, and daughters as their equals. Evolving does not mean one is copying westerners! Once you become informed and know better, you WILL DO BETTER. Not everyone desires to remain ignorant. So do not generalize us!
Your mumu no be for here o... What African culture are you talking about? The one written on stones? The one that is not evolving? Too dumb, no wonder you live on blogs. One would think you'd get wiser from reading more post, but, nah, you get dumber and speak from you privileged male ass
Knowledge is power and change is constant ,understanding gender equality means that I respect a woman she can aspire to b a doctor an engineer, a president ,has the right to own what her husband left for her with out the husband family taking everything away from her . For me it not about been African but knowing that change is constant , most cultures is not productive in this times and age if u like go ask an arabian woman or look at the 12 to 15 yrs old bride .
Stern u are so stupid 4 saying DAT,Africa wer no of being naked in d time of our 4fathers so I think u should stay naked and drop all d western knowledge since u are real African man
Hi stern, it was African culture that twins be thrown into the evil forest(just because they are twins) but today many people pray to have twins. It was African tradition that husband's would eat out of a plate wives carried on their heads while dey ate. So on and so forth! Men are afraid of gender equity beCause their only achievement is "I am a man". Just know that, man or woman, human is human.
Leave him Ewu, he can flex and extend his muscle @ gender equality but if it's to talk about success or face them Dangote or Otedola, he will be brain-dead! Mtchewwww
@STERN Since you want to remain backward with your forefathers' culture, you should have stayed back in the village and marry an illiterate village wife that will be serving you like a slave. Why did you run to Canada, a western country? Why did you learn English language? Why are you wearing western clothes? Why are you on this blog using western technology? Why do you have a phone? If you want to stick to your grandfather's culture, drop everything that has to do with the western culture. Dont pick only the western things that suits you and drop the ones that dont suit you. Drop all of them. So that we will know that you are a true African backward man. Ewu
Oro ni o fe gbo @madam olori..also if not for a little equality that we have as women, you wldnt have been able to leave ur lebanese husband n marry d Oni
Nne d matter tire me fa. She has no moral compass to address even goats, not to talk of women. Instead of her to go and retrace her life. Runz geh oshi.
May God bless the person that wrote this. I need to hug and kiss the written of this. ONLY A FOOL WILL SUPPORT THIS OLORI BITCH THEY SHOULD NOT MIND THE SO CALLED OLORI OR WHAT EVER SHE IS A HOUSE WIFE WHAT DO EXPECT FROM HER IF NOT THIS? WHAT A MAN CAN DO A WOMAN CAN DO BETTER THAN SO MEN AND WOMAN MUST HAVE EQUAL RIGHT SIMPLE. I DONT HAVE MUCH TO SAY BECAUSE THE WRITTEN HAS SPOKEN MY MIND THAT OLORI IS A MUSLIM SO AM NOT SURPRISE.
my dear don't mind her, it's not her fault. what do you expect her to say when she knows absolutely nothing about gender equality. mtcheeew no be her fault sha.
My dear der is a difference BTW general role and gender equality, it is a shame when pple talk without doing a proper research on the subject matter. My opinion on dis is dat a woman who stayed abroad fo many years should know better den Hw she spoke on TV......
That's not true...we are Africans NA we like to copy westerners please don't drive ..let's all trek and don't fly..yes we copy them it's the way of life
@Stern culture is defined as the life and ways of a people. There is not like culture cannot change. As long as human beings are dynamic culture will be too. Therefore the way a people choose to and accept to live their lives becomes their culture. So because it was our " culture" we should continue to kill twins or force widows to drink "death bath water". As human knowledge advances our cultures must change to keep step because there is nothing like " permanent" culture.
This woman is no different from stupid foluke dara somthing...women with their brains in between their laps. Can this bleaching woman talk about female circumcision,child marriage,war/marriage rape,girl child right to education,breast pounding,widow maltreatment,child prostitution/trafficking just to mention but a few..its unfortunate we have brainless royals these day. Onye ara ka owu.
I don't understand the first statement on the girl's list. We are in Nigeria, not an Arab nation, so I don't understand what she means by 'if I work three hours and a man works three hours, we should get the same pay.' Is that not how it is done? Women earn based on their degrees and competence, just like men too. Some feminist sef.
@stern...why did u go to school if not copy cat from d westerners. U sound just as a hypocrite who doesn't understand constructive criticism. Gender equality is paramount...if u indeed ve a clear understanding of the "topic"...do u stern??
Mumu Olori.... Well she is married into a culture that threat women as lesser people... But she is educated, she should know better. She talks about equality like it's one unimportant nonsense, but, poor women and girls need it. The child bride needs it.
Pple do not understand the meaning of Gender Equality! Nobody expects the roles of females and males to be swapped, however gender equality means we are ladies should have equal rights too as rightly pointed out by Dairy of a Naija girl! HRM got it wrong
the way i see this,..talk,..if a mans virginity,..woman virginity bla bla bla,..whosoever can listen,..it will be regretful,.if a woman cannot sit home and teach the children to be useful,..it will be a shame to woman hood if all women marry not virgins,.it will be woe if all the women loose respect for their husbands and loose the focus of the family..it will be a slap on the face of God that you disobey his law with much clarity of conscence of what we are doing,..its nt about the equality,..its aboutwhat u achieve with the equality,..a woman can now hav a prostitution union,..a woman can now bilitle her husband,..the african culture and children have always been the best in the world,.americans cant boast of hew trained their children are.if we follow them,..then we will have our children future kim kardashians,.i see nofhn wrong with a woman working,.but that doesnt mean u will reach for the moon in a bad way,..we forget that we have our home called heaven,..my advice to the women and everyone who will read this.
Why can a man train the children at home?? Oh he is entitled to work, flirt with his secretary and drop money for upkeep??? Think we'll before you type!
If a woman is to keep herself then a man should too! Bcos if our culture frowns at women having pre-marital sex and is neutral to the guys, who will this guys be having sex with??
Foolish stern. Always first to comment since you want to stick to culture why are men not going to the forest to hunt a life animal and bring home bcoz our forefathers were good at this, why are you using telephone and internet abeg, since u don't like coping the whites, why are u even wearing shoes or why do u brush your teeth with tooth brush and paste. Chewing stick Don finish for forest?. Idiot.
@ Stern, that is why we are retrogressive in Africa idiot, and the western world has continually moved forward. God willing, the USA will have its first female president. I am an educated, black woman and i was not created to serve men but to achieve my own purpose in this world. It is no longer a man's world, u retrogressive stupid fool!. Olori Wuraola can never speak for proud educated black women because she is a university drop out who has continually changed her name and persona to fit the latest rich man she is currently with!
Well, gender equality goes beyond Olori's, it's a very vast ideology. There are many ways to gender inequality, look at the work place, societal pressure and expectations, so much saddled on the girl child /woman yet much limitations. The world isn't yet fair enough to the womanhood period!
A queen has spoken wisdom n a wench with pepper mouth wants to correct her it can't be possible. Why will she ask the queen of England? Is it the same weather,laws and genes? Go there n live like them if u r not satisfied with the truth. Lootimi has spoken so shut ur gutter.
It is the same men that will come here to say they cannot marry a woman that has no job cos y'all don't want liabilities. Inasmuch as your women work and in more cases where the woman provides to you lazy asses called men. You have absolutely no right to talk about gender equality or inequality.
Look closely U will discover that most of the women championing this gender equality stuff are single, divorced or women whose marriage is disfunctional due to their headiness. Most of them are not marriagable.
And so? Maybe the only thing the men had to offer was dick! And there is Ann Summer where you can buy dick and fingers from which works effectively. So any marry a dick with no value? Any other thing you want to say? My name is IE.....i'm an Ibadan geh
THANK YOU O @ DIARY OF A NIJA GAL. @ OLORI, THE ONLY REASON YOU WERE ABLE TO EVEN MAKE THIS SPEECH IN THE FIRST PLACE IS BECAUSE YOU ARE MARRIED TO THE OONI. THE PLACE OF A WOMAN IS NO LONGER IN THE KITCHEN OR BEHIND HER HUSBAND. WOMEN ARE MAKING MARKS ALL OVER THE WORLD, ASK HILLARY CLINTON, QUEEN ELIZABETH, OUR VERY OWN CHIMAMANDA, ETC. STOP RELEGATING YOURSELF AND FELLOW WOMEN TO THE BACKGROUND. WE HAVE STEPPED UP OUR GAME AND CAN BE CONSIDERED EQUALS TO MEN. THANK YOU

Taaaa! Mechie gi onu there!@"nothing like 50-50" When d chips r down who bears d home. A woman’s worth is in knowing her worth n value in her home n society at large. Beyonce sang it loud"who run d world..girls girls" @olori...nne kupu! Just dis recent marriage n crown don give u leverage! Go hussle n v a say. Gender EQUALITY and gender ROLE no be same. A woman can confidently juggle d two but a man cant
This Olori woman. I didn't really expect her to be in support of gender equality. It's a shame that most ppl don't understand what it is. Regardless of what you're for or against, you should have in mind that we were all born flesh, with blood flowing through our veins, with same temperaments and emotions. Do men have different emotions than their female counterparts? NO. We are all the same even though we're different. The difference is only there for alliance not for superiority, not for slavery nor prejudice. Ppl are screaming culture. B4 culture moulded some ppl we were all human beings with same emotions, same thinking, same intelligence and same temperament. Pls we shud all fight for this course. I am a woman, I don't want to be superior, I don't want to rule, I don't want 2 be disrespectful but I want equality. Equality to lead and to be led. Thank you.
You women are just a confused lot! In my company, women are recruited as long as they have a minimum of 2.2 while the men, a minimum of 2.1. Think and ask yourself why are the ladies more favoured? Fight for the betterment of a girl child and prohibition of domestic violence in nigeria not this rubbish!
Mr stretch shut up! In my own company the only role they employ women are secretary. No consideration for female engineers . With a very large margin in salaries compared to our male counterparts. So we know what we are saying when we say we want equality.
GOD Created us ie MEN & WOMEN so we are all equal am all for equality; men with our egos through culture have stopped women from being their own person and its high time we stopped!
Africans cannot be westernised. Gender equality going to destroy many homes and marriage. I know what I'm sat I lives in the Europe for decade they have highest number of divorces due to equality.
She's talking jagon.she should shift one side let women talk or she should be taught what gender equality really mean because I don't think she understand it well
If not for fight on gender equality the Olori will not travel with d king but will be cooking in d kitchen, gender equality is different from gender roles,just imagine not been given a job as a woman because at a particular time u will need maternity leave, that is d gender equality people are fighting for,being deprived cos u are a woman
Mr Stern, African culture you say....Back in those days, women were not viewed to be capable of acquiring an education. When next you go to a hospital, do not let a female doctor or nurses who are mostly women attend to you. Besides, you should not be on Linda Ikeji´s blog...She is a woman too and should serving a man like you said. Back in the days, African culture did not know about the use of phones, please throw yours away. we should all get it straight....Gender equality and Gender roles are not and can NEVER be the same thing
This is the most foolish and insensitive comment I have read. Evident sign of illiteracy and lack of sufficient knowledge of the matter. Do you know how many women have lost their lives through domestic violence just because of the word 'submission'?.Female children are being raped and violated everyday just because they don't have rights or privileges to defend or speak for themselves because of gender inequality and the outdated and monstrous tradition that says women are made to please men, make babies and raise children .Don't be selfish ! Before you speak think of your daughter or a sister. If your olori is comfortable with being inferior and serving her man like y'all say then i'd advice her to please speak for herself alone
If I hear. Be deceiving urself. D magic that made her marry 3men in the space of how many years? Hw come d first one didn't stay with her na? Mumu. Foolish u
Please o, where did she get the fake accent from? Omo ale, runs girl with her diarrhea of a mouth. After all your scandal with multiple men? How can she understand what gender equality is, this is what you get what you get when you send your child to school and they skipped class. Well, anyone wearing boring white clothes and married to a spirit and drinking all those concortions would have had their brains fried as well. Oniranu, look at her knuckles, she still dry bleach on top her ugly face.
Ugly is an understatement. Heard she's a school drop out. Real omo ale gboko gboko onidokudo. Waka waka baby don waka reach Ife. Ooni yaf enter one chance. D bleaching sef she no sabi. Ugly something. See her teeth wey reach 62.

God created us "man and woman" for a purpose...men have theirs (i.e purpose and roles) and women have theirs...why then do we wanna tell our God that we don't like that he created us as a man or as a woman...it's a free world though..God gave us free will to follow His ways or not...but if you are a christian then you have the lifestyle set for you by God please read 1st Corithians 11: 3-12 Numbers 30: 1-8 Proverbs 31: 10-31...may these words edify you...remember (be you man or woman) you are allowed to chase all your full potentials but your true potential and reason/purpose is to follow God's leading in ALL things...ALL...God bless

Gender equality...dear olori, you're lucky to have gotten married to some1 educated and enlightened...what about those that re unlucky...dere re pple that re physically, emotionally, psychological abused by men, y is that so, men treat women like slaves. Cos they feel they're just God enough for childbearing s*x chef etc please those that live In glass house shouldn't throw stones cos I know women who don't think for themselves, can't make decisn without their husbands consent...everyone can't be treated equally but fairly
As far as I know this lady has never worked a day in her life. She has never had a career, her career has been marrying husbands. So of course she will hold that view. A woman can be a feminist, a wife and a mother. Even in advanced western societies the well known feminists; Hilary Clinton, beyonce, etc are all wives and mothers too
Who even sent this woman, and wat even led to all the gender bla bla bla yalk...of all the things to talk about she chose that topic like they sent her.she should please talk about more important things or park well
Lol its funny how people have misguided understandings about this whole gender equality issue..
Nobody is saying as a woman I can lift an engine block because a man can.. or I can aim and pee straight standing up because a man can.. it's just that certain issues and circumstances like at the work place for example demand a certain amount of fairness towards both genders..
We all need each other in our homes and cultures and relationships because we are uniquely different and God made us that way to compliment each other.
The issue with how African men tend to misunderstand the concept of gender equality is that if some African men didn't see culture as a means of oppressing and enslaving women instead of protecting and treating them as queens in the first place, nobody will be complaining.. There are some well brought up African men who understand this role.. you can see that the Ooni took his wife out on the trip rather than subject her to the kitchen.
So until some men (and some extremist women) really understand what the actual concept of the fight for gender "equality" is really all about, we'll all still be having the same old silly arguments..
Nothing is different from male or female all are desame despite people see men more imp than man but me see women more important than men, when it comes to reality boy brings hardship when you put them to birth, but when you put a girl to birth finx move easily well than before, that is too say girls are brought in this world as a gift without them men are nothing I rest my case despite am a boy.. But all gender are equal.. Girls fight for your right
They have finish this Olori o. Lol. My dear Olori, I wan advice u well. it's better to keep shut and hide ur self from the public cos of your scandal. Remember the ooni had a wife before u. He can marry another one after u if your scandal is all over and viral. Your scandal enough can damage the image of the ooni and trust me, he would loose respect from our generation. Aye oju Ti la o. #myadvice
I am 20 years old and i have experienced what this gender inequality is. A few years ago i applied for a job and i wasn't called back, it was weird. I confronted one of my friends working in the same company (not in the IT dept) she had confirmed from the IT department that i was qualified but i won't be employed because i am a female. It didn't make any sense because i had previously been employed in other companies.I was very upset but i took it as one of those things. But now that we have a voice we can say something positive. We aren't going overboard and saying we won't take care of our spouse or our children wouldn't have training. From what i can tell many daughters take after their mothers if my child sees am responsible and following my dreams i am sure the world would be a better place. Men coming here to say that its only single and divorced women that are supporting this. Your comments just look really sad to me , you are now assuming that marriage is the only beacon of happiness because if you aren't married you wont be happy or what is your point. I also want to address men that are talking about culture. I bet you dont even know what culture is .Culture is a way of life, if you are educated you would have learnt that culture is a dynamic entity meaning its subject to change. Allowing women to have equal rights as you doesn't mean you are any less of a man, but you are better person for it because you are encouraging the world to be a better place. I am so happy because in have faith in the new generation that we would make this country a better place.
while I truly understand the plight of some women in Nigeria with issues like, being cheated by inlaws after a woman's husband dies but beyond that this whole Gender equality thing just does not make any sense. Tell me where in Nigeria a woman earns less than a man for the same job especially public offices. Where in Nigeria is a woman not allowed to drive. The issue of a man beating his wife has nothing to do with gender equality, beating someone is an ASSAULT and is punishable by law. The issue with that is that the law is not being enforced. I really need women to explain what exactly they mean or what rights exactly they are fighting for when they say Gender equality?
Wetin concern me mbok
ReplyDeleteAll men and women r equal b4 d Lord. So gender equality is d best ever dat cab happen to Nigerians.

Naturally, men and women do not hav the same physical look, so Is in role and activities. Why look f equality, when the natural l already protects u, it is bcos u women r mixing the white man view that is cosing the high rate of women being single , over 30
Olori, spot on, we must fight this america freedomism out o our society, along wit dstv
Freedomism that led them to where they are today! Where are we today Africa? Where are we today Nigeria? Our president left his country for London to see a ENT specialist when we have a lot of them here. Thanks to Mary slessor, u might be dead now! We need all hands for nation development. Everyone has a role to play! A girl child should be sent to school as the boys. None is less! Fight the internet too Ode!!! @anonymous 10.21pm
DeleteI stopped listening to her rubbish when she gbagaun-ed. Who asked her to spk in public with such bad English? I don't even want to talk about the subject. Shame catch me for this babe. Then h facto nearly finish her. Go back to school mami.
DeleteI don't know why women want this gender equality thing. Yes I agree I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen cooking or not be able to work but as a business owner, I'd never pay a man and a woman that does the same job the same salary. Most times, men can undertake more, they don't have cramps and slow down on their work load, they don't get pregnant or have to beg to pick their kids from school. If the roles were different and men went through all these "unforeseen circumstances" they'll be treated thus. Women have to get used to being women. Of course we are not inferior, God created us from Adam's rib for a purpose right? We deserve to be respected, treated fairly compared to the next person, even siblings are not loved equally by parents. Like someone said we are equal in the eyes of God because only He is capable of looking at all of us as equals, regardless of how rich/poor, fat/thin, short/tall, male/female
DeleteAbeg i dont need any man in my life to treat me like a slave in the kitchen. Technology has made it easy for women. I will just look for a sperm donor or buy sperm from sperm bank and have my kids through surrogate or IVF and train them myself. I can work and get a cook too. At least my children will not complain that i did not come home on time to cook for them. Also, they will take care of me when i am old. I really dont need a man and their wahala. Rubbish!
Delete@Anonymous 9:29PM and 10:21PM Since you want to remain backward and stick to the African culture put in place by man not God, why are you on this blog using phone and data which are technologies created by the white man? Why did you learn the western english language? Why didnt you remain an illiterate in your village? Instead of you to move forward with the western culture, you are moving backwards and want to drag women backwards with you. Bloody hypocrites!
DeleteNice one, hope the female folk does not misunderstand your concept. Need to be more educated on it.
ReplyDeleteThese days marriage has become a scam in disadvantage to the men..we share d same culture with perfect understanding..girls are submissive & very loyal as a GF cuz thts what it takes to show d African man why u r d wifey material..this characters even makes a lot of guys commit so much financially to this relationships having seen a perfect African woman...why do u now get married,start all this Internet and blog addictions then trouble starts...she starts to learn how to stand her ground selfishly..she runs to blogs for comment tht explains her situation..slowly slowly she starts to learn d stupid joy in divorce...we hv culture here for a reason..if u wanna act d man,be urself from datin and courtship...don't wait till u commit a man to marriage ...if u hv a troublesome woman as wife u understand me

DeleteWomen are a curse to this world...they have finished with men and now challenge God
DeleteEnough with your lies! You think we are all as stupid as you are? Africans sha! They will not drop the real issue rather they will add salt and pepper to it so they can mislead people!
DeleteEven the person that helped her write the speech is as empty as her. This people should stop disgracing us abroad mbok
DeleteThere is a social caste women occupy...there is an order(which incidentally is also backed up by the injunctions in the Holy books)in which each gender has a distinct and important role.To seek to be equal to your husband means trying to upturn the balance when the Bible calls a person the 'head'.Feminists are just disturbed persons and probably insecure females too in my view
ReplyDelete.
You do not understand at all. Please can you kindly use Google. There is a difference between gender equality and gender roles.
DeleteIs a pity that African men sees their women as a slave that has no say in our society, I just hate African culture I swell.
ReplyDeleteLmao Joyous bread... the yeast in your english is too much...thats why it's swelling..

ReplyDeleteNice so many pple dnt understd this gender equality
ReplyDeleteAnd I do a standing ovation for Diary of a Naija girl. Well said!
ReplyDeleteSo long you are African there is nothing like gender equality. That's the african culture. Women are to respect and serve the men. Your fathers and great grandfathers went through all of this. Even proper Africans living abroad with their families follow the same tradition regardless of the belief in that country. You Africans are just copy cats that's your problem..always wana do whatever the westerners do!
ReplyDeleteDis is gettin interesting
Delete...merited happiness
Lol...Stern Don vex...easy man
DeleteLol...Stern Don vex...easy man
DeleteBut the men should also respect us too...cos we are the pillar of the home, if the pillar falls,then home falls too
Delete@stern this is the best comment u have ever made on this blog so far.
DeleteTrue talk
DeleteShut your ignorant mouth up and choke on a big dick. Asswipe
DeleteShut up you lazy uneducated riff raff.
DeleteIdiot, why are you wearing western cloth -u should be tying wrapper then as an African man. #awomanispoerful
DeleteYou ve always responded stupidly and irrationally to posts. You surely need a brain check.
DeleteOh shut up ode! Who made the rules? Is it not human beings? So now human beings will change it.
DeleteYou must really feel inferior deep inside to try to lord yourself over a woman. You're a weak man with a miniature penis.
When our father's and grandfather were enjoying all that, the women were basically housewives who just give birth to helpers in the name of children. Also the wealthy like Abraham in the Bible had servants. Men need to respect women as individuals and not slaves. After all some women are even the breadwinners. Funny enough it's broke guys that support this. When I was with my broke ex, he literally expected me to be his slave and also to have a 9 to 5 job. Now I'm with my rich boyfriend, I've never even cooked for him and he doesn't expect it as his mother did not do all those things while he was growing up. Do you think Aisha Buhari is a slave in their house? No! And also women should not be forced to respect men because they are the heads of the home, but to respect them because the are humans. With this attitude u'll see women respecting even themselves and other women. And it's the same broke ass men that will complain when their girlfriends(slaves) ask them for money for upkeep saying money is not everything, but a girl should be a slave to be a good wife material
DeleteMust you always show Ur ignorance and stupidity?
DeleteAlso I have taken a screen shot of your asinine comment, name, Blog link, etc and will be calling your employers at Canadian Tire. Let's see how Trudeau's people will take this.
DeleteThe world has become a global village, we follow the era the way it goes...
DeleteI don't know if your senses are working properly but I doubt it. What does gender equality have to do with being African? Once also, women never used to work but now it's a norm. I'm sure someone like you would just be happy to have a slave as a wife then. A trophy wife if I may. Bruh, don't be backwards. This is progress we're talking about. The fact that girls can now dream and not be held back from it. That females now have a voice. Like Malala Yousafzai said, how do you expect a country to move forward when half the population is held back? People like you, who think that women are just here to serve men, are the plague. Hell, you're worse than the plague. Let's hope your own daughters weren't created to serve as sex toys and cooks. Receive sense.
DeleteWhile everyone's entitled to their opinion, I choose to disagree with yours. Do not generalize ALL Africans like this. Not everyone is like you. If you choose not to value women and treat them as equals fine, but do not say that is what ALL Africans think and how ALLL Africans behave.
DeleteFor God's sake it is 2016! While some still live in the past and do what their forefathers did before them, some have EVOLVED and now know better and welcome their wives, mothers, and daughters as their equals. Evolving does not mean one is copying westerners! Once you become informed and know better, you WILL DO BETTER. Not everyone desires to remain ignorant. So do not generalize us!
Your mumu no be for here o... What African culture are you talking about? The one written on stones? The one that is not evolving? Too dumb, no wonder you live on blogs. One would think you'd get wiser from reading more post, but, nah, you get dumber and speak from you privileged male ass
DeleteYou are a fool.....I pity the mother that gave birth to you
DeleteGbam
DeleteEmy say so!
Gender equality is d BEST and it's high time fore father's traditions b put aside.
DeleteLong live LIB
Knowledge is power and change is constant ,understanding gender equality means that I respect a woman she can aspire to b a doctor an engineer, a president ,has the right to own what her husband left for her with out the husband family taking everything away from her . For me it not about been African but knowing that change is constant , most cultures is not productive in this times and age if u like go ask an arabian woman or look at the 12 to 15 yrs old bride .
DeleteExactly...
DeleteNa me talk am!
Long Live Lib!!!
Stern u are so stupid 4 saying DAT,Africa wer no of being naked in d time of our 4fathers so I think u should stay naked and drop all d western knowledge since u are real African man
Delete@stern,u are right bro
DeleteHi stern, it was African culture that twins be thrown into the evil forest(just because they are twins) but today many people pray to have twins. It was African tradition that husband's would eat out of a plate wives carried on their heads while dey ate. So on and so forth! Men are afraid of gender equity beCause their only achievement is "I am a man". Just know that, man or woman, human is human.
DeleteLeave him Ewu, he can flex and extend his muscle @ gender equality but if it's to talk about success or face them Dangote or Otedola, he will be brain-dead! Mtchewwww
Delete@STERN Since you want to remain backward with your forefathers' culture, you should have stayed back in the village and marry an illiterate village wife that will be serving you like a slave. Why did you run to Canada, a western country? Why did you learn English language? Why are you wearing western clothes? Why are you on this blog using western technology? Why do you have a phone? If you want to stick to your grandfather's culture, drop everything that has to do with the western culture. Dont pick only the western things that suits you and drop the ones that dont suit you. Drop all of them. So that we will know that you are a true African backward man. Ewu
DeleteHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeletethis issue shld be about respect not equality....we shld respect each other no matter what the person gender is.
ReplyDeleteThere is no respect in our culture for the feminine specie. That is why they want to be treated the same way as men not to be seen as a man
DeleteVery well said! A'pu Wurola ka ona ko ye li! Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love my queen...but this is sooo nice and true
ReplyDeleteOro ni o fe gbo @madam olori..also if not for a little equality that we have as women, you wldnt have been able to leave ur lebanese husband n marry d Oni
ReplyDeleteLeave am nah, she knw say she no get mouth again ontop all her scandals so she gast form submissive!

I DONT HAVE MUCH TO SAY BECAUSE THE WRITTEN HAS SPOKEN MY MIND THAT OLORI IS A MUSLIM SO AM NOT SURPRISE.

U dis Fucking bastard!!! The Olori is nt a Muslim!
Deletemy dear don't mind her, it's not her fault. what do you expect her to say when she knows absolutely nothing about gender equality. mtcheeew no be her fault sha.
ReplyDeleteI am telling you. She knows nothing.
DeleteShe wan form public motivational speaker na. Ontop her poor English and bad pronunciation.
DeleteMy dear der is a difference BTW general role and gender equality, it is a shame when pple talk without doing a proper research on the subject matter. My opinion on dis is dat a woman who stayed abroad fo many years should know better den Hw she spoke on TV......
ReplyDeleteChop kiss...

ReplyDeleteAnd exactlybwat do u mean by' you african' cos u don't luk asian to me @stern
ReplyDeleteThat's not true...we are Africans NA we like to copy westerners please don't drive ..let's all trek and don't fly..yes we copy them it's the way of life
ReplyDeleteWell..
ReplyDeleteAnother monumental asshole!
ReplyDelete@Stern culture is defined as the life and ways of a people. There is not like culture cannot change. As long as human beings are dynamic culture will be too. Therefore the way a people choose to and accept to live their lives becomes their culture. So because it was our " culture" we should continue to kill twins or force widows to drink "death bath water". As human knowledge advances our cultures must change to keep step because there is nothing like " permanent" culture.
ReplyDeleteLinda why didn't you mention Uche jumbos name? Are you scared of her or is it because she is one of your friends?
ReplyDeleteThis woman is no different from stupid foluke dara somthing...women with their brains in between their laps. Can this bleaching woman talk about female circumcision,child marriage,war/marriage rape,girl child right to education,breast pounding,widow maltreatment,child prostitution/trafficking just to mention but a few..its unfortunate we have brainless royals these day. Onye ara ka owu.
ReplyDeleteStern do u hv any job. U are always here to talk
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the first statement on the girl's list. We are in Nigeria, not an Arab nation, so I don't understand what she means by 'if I work three hours and a man works three hours, we should get the same pay.' Is that not how it is done? Women earn based on their degrees and competence, just like men too. Some feminist sef.

Shut up. Stupid comment
ReplyDeleteMadam ok pls women from now on propose to marry the men so dat we can be on the same gender equality.....
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWhat do u expect
ReplyDeleteMumu Olori.... Well she is married into a culture that threat women as lesser people... But she is educated, she should know better.
ReplyDeleteShe talks about equality like it's one unimportant nonsense, but, poor women and girls need it. The child bride needs it.
She confuses gender roles with equality... Kai, even the supposedly educated ones need better education.
ReplyDeletePple do not understand the meaning of Gender Equality! Nobody expects the roles of females and males to be swapped, however gender equality means we are ladies should have equal rights too as rightly pointed out by Dairy of a Naija girl! HRM got it wrong
ReplyDeletethe way i see this,..talk,..if a mans virginity,..woman virginity bla bla bla,..whosoever can listen,..it will be regretful,.if a woman cannot sit home and teach the children to be useful,..it will be a shame to woman hood if all women marry not virgins,.it will be woe if all the women loose respect for their husbands and loose the focus of the family..it will be a slap on the face of God that you disobey his law with much clarity of conscence of what we are doing,..its nt about the equality,..its aboutwhat u achieve with the equality,..a woman can now hav a prostitution union,..a woman can now bilitle her husband,..the african culture and children have always been the best in the world,.americans cant boast of hew trained their children are.if we follow them,..then we will have our children future kim kardashians,.i see nofhn wrong with a woman working,.but that doesnt mean u will reach for the moon in a bad way,..we forget that we have our home called heaven,..my advice to the women and everyone who will read this.
ReplyDeleteWhy can a man train the children at home?? Oh he is entitled to work, flirt with his secretary and drop money for upkeep??? Think we'll before you type!
DeleteY are u encouraging prostitution linda ikejis what that rubbish woman virginity should not be tested...
ReplyDeleteIf a woman is to keep herself then a man should too! Bcos if our culture frowns at women having pre-marital sex and is neutral to the guys, who will this guys be having sex with??
DeleteFoolish stern. Always first to comment since you want to stick to culture why are men not going to the forest to hunt a life animal and bring home bcoz our forefathers were good at this, why are you using telephone and internet abeg, since u don't like coping the whites, why are u even wearing shoes or why do u brush your teeth with tooth brush and paste. Chewing stick Don finish for forest?. Idiot.
ReplyDelete@ Stern, that is why we are retrogressive in Africa idiot, and the western world has continually moved forward. God willing, the USA will have its first female president. I am an educated, black woman and i was not created to serve men but to achieve my own purpose in this world. It is no longer a man's world, u retrogressive stupid fool!. Olori Wuraola can never speak for proud educated black women because she is a university drop out who has continually changed her name and persona to fit the latest rich man she is currently with!
ReplyDeleteCan she say this to Michelle Obama???? I am just ashamed!
DeleteFunny enough the lady with this reply could be single
ReplyDelete@ Stern, now I conclude you are delusional and urgently needs a psychiatric evaluation!
ReplyDeleteOde
ReplyDeleteWell, gender equality goes beyond Olori's, it's a very vast ideology. There are many ways to gender inequality, look at the work place, societal pressure and expectations, so much saddled on the girl child /woman yet much limitations. The world isn't yet fair enough to the womanhood period!
ReplyDeleteA queen has spoken wisdom n a wench with pepper mouth wants to correct her it can't be possible. Why will she ask the queen of England? Is it the same weather,laws and genes? Go there n live like them if u r not satisfied with the truth. Lootimi has spoken so shut ur gutter.
ReplyDeleteLittle wonder, your sad and lone status! Its more sad reading ur comment!
DeleteWho be queen? Which nonsense wisdom did she spk? Will u swerve from here. Bet u are her fellow ashana
DeleteShutup if u like turn your wife to slave ur life is sooo backward I feel so sorry for whoever will agree to marry u
ReplyDeleteGo and tell God to make woman equal to man.
ReplyDeleteIt is the same men that will come here to say they cannot marry a woman that has no job cos y'all don't want liabilities. Inasmuch as your women work and in more cases where the woman provides to you lazy asses called men. You have absolutely no right to talk about gender equality or inequality.
ReplyDeleteLook closely U will discover that most of the women championing this gender equality stuff are single, divorced or women whose marriage is disfunctional due to their headiness. Most of them are not marriagable.
ReplyDeleteAnd so? Maybe the only thing the men had to offer was dick! And there is Ann Summer where you can buy dick and fingers from which works effectively. So any marry a dick with no value? Any other thing you want to say? My name is IE.....i'm an Ibadan geh
DeleteAfrican culture? Wtf do u know about African culture?? Deluded fucks!!.......
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU O @ DIARY OF A NIJA GAL.

@olori...nne kupu! Just dis recent marriage n crown don give u leverage! Go hussle n v a say. Gender EQUALITY and gender ROLE no be same. A woman can confidently juggle d two but a man cant
This Olori woman. I didn't really expect her to be in support of gender equality. It's a shame that most ppl don't understand what it is. Regardless of what you're for or against, you should have in mind that we were all born flesh, with blood flowing through our veins, with same temperaments and emotions. Do men have different emotions than their female counterparts? NO. We are all the same even though we're different. The difference is only there for alliance not for superiority, not for slavery nor prejudice. Ppl are screaming culture. B4 culture moulded some ppl we were all human beings with same emotions, same thinking, same intelligence and same temperament. Pls we shud all fight for this course. I am a woman, I don't want to be superior, I don't want to rule, I don't want 2 be disrespectful but I want equality. Equality to lead and to be led. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou women are just a confused lot! In my company, women are recruited as long as they have a minimum of 2.2 while the men, a minimum of 2.1. Think and ask yourself why are the ladies more favoured? Fight for the betterment of a girl child and prohibition of domestic violence in nigeria not this rubbish!
DeleteMr stretch shut up! In my own company the only role they employ women are secretary. No consideration for female engineers . With a very large margin in salaries compared to our male counterparts. So we know what we are saying when we say we want equality.
DeleteGOD Created us ie MEN & WOMEN so we are all equal am all for equality; men with our egos through culture have stopped women from being their own person and its high time we stopped!
ReplyDeleteAfricans cannot be westernised. Gender equality going to destroy many homes and marriage. I know what I'm sat I lives in the Europe for decade they have highest number of divorces due to equality.
ReplyDeleteShe's talking jagon.she should shift one side let women talk or she should be taught what gender equality really mean because I don't think she understand it well
ReplyDeleteIf not for fight on gender equality the Olori will not travel with d king but will be cooking in d kitchen, gender equality is different from gender roles,just imagine not been given a job as a woman because at a particular time u will need maternity leave, that is d gender equality people are fighting for,being deprived cos u are a woman
ReplyDeleteMr Stern, African culture you say....Back in those days, women were not viewed to be capable of acquiring an education. When next you go to a hospital, do not let a female doctor or nurses who are mostly women attend to you. Besides, you should not be on Linda Ikeji´s blog...She is a woman too and should serving a man like you said. Back in the days, African culture did not know about the use of phones, please throw yours away. we should all get it straight....Gender equality and Gender roles are not and can NEVER be the same thing
ReplyDeleteOlori carry on dear, tomorrow they will say na juju you take de hold men. Na lie, you have the magic to a man's heart (submission).
ReplyDeleteThis is the most foolish and insensitive comment I have read. Evident sign of illiteracy and lack of sufficient knowledge of the matter. Do you know how many women have lost their lives through domestic violence just because of the word 'submission'?.Female children are being raped and violated everyday just because they don't have rights or privileges to defend or speak for themselves because of gender inequality and the outdated and monstrous tradition that says women are made to please men, make babies and raise children .Don't be selfish ! Before you speak think of your daughter or a sister. If your olori is comfortable with being inferior and serving her man like y'all say then i'd advice her to please speak for herself alone
DeleteIf I hear. Be deceiving urself. D magic that made her marry 3men in the space of how many years? Hw come d first one didn't stay with her na? Mumu. Foolish u
DeletePlease o, where did she get the fake accent from? Omo ale, runs girl with her diarrhea of a mouth. After all your scandal with multiple men? How can she understand what gender equality is, this is what you get what you get when you send your child to school and they skipped class. Well, anyone wearing boring white clothes and married to a spirit and drinking all those concortions would have had their brains fried as well. Oniranu, look at her knuckles, she still dry bleach on top her ugly face.
ReplyDeleteUgly is an understatement. Heard she's a school drop out. Real omo ale gboko gboko onidokudo. Waka waka baby don waka reach Ife. Ooni yaf enter one chance. D bleaching sef she no sabi. Ugly something. See her teeth wey reach 62.

ReplyDeleteGender equality...dear olori, you're lucky to have gotten married to some1 educated and enlightened...what about those that re unlucky...dere re pple that re physically, emotionally, psychological abused by men, y is that so, men treat women like slaves. Cos they feel they're just God enough for childbearing s*x chef etc please those that live In glass house shouldn't throw stones cos I know women who don't think for themselves, can't make decisn without their husbands consent...everyone can't be treated equally but fairly
ReplyDeleteWell said... ..
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know this lady has never worked a day in her life. She has never had a career, her career has been marrying husbands. So of course she will hold that view. A woman can be a feminist, a wife and a mother. Even in advanced western societies the well known feminists; Hilary Clinton, beyonce, etc are all wives and mothers too
ReplyDeleteWho even sent this woman, and wat even led to all the gender bla bla bla yalk...of all the things to talk about she chose that topic like they sent her.she should please talk about more important things or park well
ReplyDeleteBefore her husband was made king why didn't she come up with topic... Now she thinks she has an opinion and a voice...make she no just make vex here.
ReplyDeleteshe is a typical traditional woman and thats how they think...they see less of their self....her husband for liv her for niga go flex for abroad....
ReplyDeleteLol its funny how people have misguided understandings about this whole gender equality issue..
ReplyDeleteNobody is saying as a woman I can lift an engine block because a man can.. or I can aim and pee straight standing up because a man can.. it's just that certain issues and circumstances like at the work place for example demand a certain amount of fairness towards both genders..
We all need each other in our homes and cultures and relationships because we are uniquely different and God made us that way to compliment each other.
The issue with how African men tend to misunderstand the concept of gender equality is that if some African men didn't see culture as a means of oppressing and enslaving women instead of protecting and treating them as queens in the first place, nobody will be complaining..
There are some well brought up African men who understand this role.. you can see that the Ooni took his wife out on the trip rather than subject her to the kitchen.
So until some men (and some extremist women) really understand what the actual concept of the fight for gender "equality" is really all about, we'll all still be having the same old silly arguments..
Is gender are equal to Me be it male or female
ReplyDeleteAll gender are equal
ReplyDeleteEqual to me
ReplyDeleteAll gender are equal

ReplyDeleteNothing is different from male or female all are desame despite people see men more imp than man but me see women more important than men, when it comes to reality boy brings hardship when you put them to birth, but when you put a girl to birth finx move easily well than before, that is too say girls are brought in this world as a gift without them men are nothing I rest my case despite am a boy.. But all gender are equal.. Girls fight for your right
ReplyDeleteHmm dnt wat to say ooo. Bt I support the olori. Bk was here!!
ReplyDeleteThey have finish this Olori o. Lol. My dear Olori, I wan advice u well. it's better to keep shut and hide ur self from the public cos of your scandal. Remember the ooni had a wife before u. He can marry another one after u if your scandal is all over and viral. Your scandal enough can damage the image of the ooni and trust me, he would loose respect from our generation. Aye oju Ti la o. #myadvice
ReplyDeleteEverybody has their different view... weather man or woman, to co exist in peace is far more important!
ReplyDeleteI am 20 years old and i have experienced what this gender inequality is. A few years ago i applied for a job and i wasn't called back, it was weird. I confronted one of my friends working in the same company (not in the IT dept) she had confirmed from the IT department that i was qualified but i won't be employed because i am a female. It didn't make any sense because i had previously been employed in other companies.I was very upset but i took it as one of those things.
ReplyDeleteBut now that we have a voice we can say something positive. We aren't going overboard and saying we won't take care of our spouse or our children wouldn't have training. From what i can tell many daughters take after their mothers if my child sees am responsible and following my dreams i am sure the world would be a better place.
Men coming here to say that its only single and divorced women that are supporting this. Your comments just look really sad to me , you are now assuming that marriage is the only beacon of happiness because if you aren't married you wont be happy or what is your point.
I also want to address men that are talking about culture. I bet you dont even know what culture is .Culture is a way of life, if you are educated you would have learnt that culture is a dynamic entity meaning its subject to change. Allowing women to have equal rights as you doesn't mean you are any less of a man, but you are better person for it because you are encouraging the world to be a better place. I am so happy because in have faith in the new generation that we would make this country a better place.
while I truly understand the plight of some women in Nigeria with issues like, being cheated by inlaws after a woman's husband dies but beyond that this whole Gender equality thing just does not make any sense. Tell me where in Nigeria a woman earns less than a man for the same job especially public offices. Where in Nigeria is a woman not allowed to drive. The issue of a man beating his wife has nothing to do with gender equality, beating someone is an ASSAULT and is punishable by law. The issue with that is that the law is not being enforced. I really need women to explain what exactly they mean or what rights exactly they are fighting for when they say Gender equality?
