Nigerians should begin to think in the near future to have a female president for our country.
This is because, from all indexes that are available to the public, it is our male leaders seems to have failed the country.
Nigeria, with an estimated population of 180 million people across 35 states and Abuja and 774 local government areas is a major attraction for local and foreign investors. It is a large and potentially booming market.
But since 1960, unfortunately, when , the country became an independent nation, showing records that 80% of Nigerians, especially in rural areas live in abject poverty, while less than 10% swimming in wealth.
My intention here is not my beloved country in garbage this article. Far from it. But in truth, corruption, poverty, lack of social amenities, etc., some of the challenges, Nigeria are currently going through.
This is the reason why I tertiary recent moves cheap WARDC and maintain voice-4 exchange of students the facilities for political positions in future in Nigeria.
This may sound like a promotional item for the two non-governmental organizations. But in reality it is not.
We need support for a female president in Nigeria drum up because our male leaders seem to have abandoned us.
I stand to be corrected; Women are open, transparent, honest and honest in dealing with themselves and others.
The likes of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala , comes Nigerian former finance minister to look after here.
Contrary to what some of her critics say she performed creditably the economy of Nigeria to resolve.
When a woman is elected in 2019 as President, I am optimistic that they fix at the base Nigeria of corruption, the economy and deliver democracy dividends to ordinary Nigerians will clean-up.
Recently women lawyers Research and Documentation Centre (WARDC) and parts-4-Change, held a 3-day retreat for young women from universities in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.
Dr Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi, Director , WARDC, reveals that it is unfortunate that must be observed in Nigeria women about 50 percent of the estimated 180million people.
According to her, unfortunately Nigerians are currently occupy less than 10% of political positions and offices in the three levels of government in the country.
Dr Akiyode-Afolabi but disclosed that they have non-governmental organization with makers of Voices-4-Change, vowed to maintain beyond women to climb the various obstacles placed by culture and economy, it has prevented from vying for political positions at local, state and federal level.
This is also a Nigerian President Muhammed Buhari wobbles an anti-corruption war, where money, in millions of naira runs of suspected looters our collective Treasuries were collected. This is my take on this issue
After Buhari, Nigerian Poll woman think should run the country in the year of 2019.
