Saraki Receives Amended Gender Equality Opportunity (GEO) Bill by examhall(f): 8:57pm On Jun 16, 2016 |
![]() The Gender Equality Opportunity (GEO) Bill which suffered major setback in March this year, has been amended and was passed to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, by the sponsor of the bill, Senator Abiodun Olujimi today. The bill which among other things was designed to address women’s freedom of movement, female economic activity, girls’ access to education, equal rights for women in marriage, divorce, property/land ownership and inheritance, appropriate measures against gender discrimination in political and public life and prohibitions of violence to women, was rejected by majority of the male senators as they felt the bill if passed will give women more power and this according to them was against the African culture. Some of the senators even alleged that the bill if passed will turn some women into prostitutes and lesbians. Anyway the bill has been amended. It passed its first reading today and hopefully it would get accelerated hearing and will be passed into law.

Mtchewwwwwwww.. Bring up this issue in the midst of elders in the village and have several walking sticks landing on your head. This is Nigeria. Gender Equality my foot. Women are even lucky they are allowed to drive in this country,maybe when the reach some countries the will drop this noise. We have many vital issues in this country to visit first and not this. 14 Likes |

These feminist wont stop to amaze me. Same people would bring long list of items for man to pay during marriage as traditional rites before he marries a woman, same people would expect a man to be the bread winner of the home and easily quote, ' a man who cannot provide for his household is worse than an infidel', same people would put majority of burden on a man as if he does not have limitation and blames him when tins go wrong, they would even ask you , are u not a man' , as if being a man is equal to God. Same people would look at a woman whose husband isnt bringing into the home and tell him, ' sister you are a single mother oooo. And yet, same people would come her and shout gender equality, what a contradiction. As far as there is no equal responsibility, there cant be Gender equality. 15 Likes |

Just read the first rubbish. '' women freedom of movement''. Am happy that I am old and will not marry again for live. Was it not this few days when the entire four children of a given women whose DNA was tested and was said that all four children are for a neighbour? If you are senator, please throw away that bill immediately, especially considering the fact that majority of Nigerian women are indesciple. All they know is to stop by any parked shining car, bring out defferent types of face paints and make up. Ask them if they can cook, their response will be what happen to fast food joint?. Tufiakwa. To allow any Nigerian women freedom of movement? If this bill is pass into law, then, it means the entire senators are just a zoo. 3 Likes |

I don't seem to understand what this bill is aiming at. Most of what the bill addresses are already being enjoyed by women. I don't see anything listed there that women don't enjoy already. 1 Like |
