, there was a report that only about six per cent of women are active in Nigerian politics. Why do you think women don’t really participate in politics?
Furthermore, it is not a level playing field because politics is practised in Nigeria with money and power. There’s a lot of violence in our politics also. It’s the survival of the fittest, and you know, a lot of women are scared of violence. They fear for their children. They fear a lot of things that men might not bother about.
Also, women themselves are enemies because a lot of women are jealous when they see an aspiring, coming-up woman. They start giving her all sorts of names. They become jealous, pull her down, and say, “Is she the only one? Why not me? She must have done this; she must have done one bad thing or another.”
You mentioned that money was part of the reason for the lower participation of women in politics. The APC gave women about a 60 per cent discount for presidential forms but only got one woman to sign up for it. Why is this so?
Very true
