More government expenses. If women are equal to men as they claim, why do we need to create special positions for them? They should just compete with the men on equal grounds. 66 Likes 3 Shares |

thesicilian: Yes, it might happen soon. Women in the west are refusing to have children (hence the low birth rates that are making the men panic), so they can concentrate on their careers. Once it gets to Africa they will compete equally with men without the distractions of children. 1 Like 1 Share |

Very good. Sometimes when equality doesn't work, you introduce equity. |

Creating extra seats for women in the national assembly is discriminatory based on gender. In addition, creating extra seats would increase the cost of governance. The bill should be thrown out. 11 Likes |

Some of these guys I have always known are dumb. How would you do that when the position is a well elected position. Will you say some constituency or zone will constantly designate their seat to women therefore preventing free and fair elections? Our problem is really reliant on our so called leaders. I should be seeing moves for the reduction of cost of governance and salaries of all arms of government, MDAs etc instead they are busy chasing a wild goose. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Good idea but wrong method. It should be within the current number of senators and reps. At least one senate seat for women in each state and 2 seats in HOR. To be rotated around each senatorial district/constituency in each state. 1 Like |

Half of the comments here so far suggest that a lot of nairalanders either cannot read or have very low information processing capabilities. "The legislator said the bill proposes a temporary measure of seat reservation for women". The 74 seats to be created for women are not "new" seats. The Parliament is rather proposing to counterbalance the male quota in order to accommodate more women in our National politics. I don't like Tinubu and his administration but this bill is a step in the right direction. It's time we gave women more opportunities and representation in our political environment. 1 Like 1 Share |

The proposers should sacrifice their seats to the female folk come 2027. Where's the democracy if are giving women seats almost on a platter of gold? Why not start such affirmative action from the lower rings like councillors and chairmen? When will such action be invoked in recruitment and deployment of security into the front lines? 7 Likes |

Re: Bill To Create 74 Seats For Women In National Assembly Passes Second Reading by Dronedude(m): 12:11am On Jul 10 |
BoldBrainz: It begins with interest, track record and persuasion to the constituents or zones to be elected. If you have a good track record and popularity like the few women in the chambers, why not, who will stop a woman from representing her people. The approach should be a sensitization or orientation process maybe backed with a reduced fee for electoral interest forms across all political parties. But then they can't impose on the electorates. People have the right to vote who will lead them. 1 Like |

How do we think as Nigerians? Since when did government become gender based positions? If this is how the Western countries run government would they ever produce female presidents? |
Re: Bill To Create 74 Seats For Women In National Assembly Passes Second Reading by Cmanforall: 12:25am On Jul 10 |
AreaFada2: Not a good suggestion. The people should elect their representatives, irrespective of gender. The political parties should be the ones to ensure women are flagbearers, not the Nigerian constitution. Some political parties are doing so by reducing some costs for female candidates. But other measures can be taken 5 Likes |

Hmmmm Interesting bill. As as if national assembly is by appointment and not elections anymore.. |
Re: Bill To Create 74 Seats For Women In National Assembly Passes Second Reading by BoldBrainz(m): 12:38am On Jul 10 |
Noblechykk: Easy. A lot of women are interested in politics. But they get discouraged when they see other women who contest and are muscled out by the vicious male political class. Now with the existence of reserved seats, women will feel "encouraged" to throw themselves in the ring with the hopes of landing one of those seats. It is agreeably a soft landing for the womanfolk, but it is necessary if a headway must be made for the advancement of women in our National politics. |
