If you’ve ever wondered if children are more capable of leadership and making decisions than the Nigerian Senate, you wouldn’t be wrong. They keep making decisions and bringing up Bills that boggles the mind. And don’t forget the way they prefer to fight over issues like cats and dogs, than settle things in a matured manner.
Now we hear that the Gender and Equality Bill has been turned down.
Senate President now puts the Bill to Vote and the Nays have. The Gender and Equal Opportunity Bill does not pass second reading.
This Bill should have been passed! It should have been passed like ten years ago! That it is even up for discussion is just unbelievable.
When the Senate who has the responsibility to set things aright, is messing up, it doesn’t bode well for the country. Like, at all!
What are our boys to think?
So the Senate didn’t see a Bill that aims to promote equality, development and advancement of women, as well as freedom of movement, economic activity and access to education as important?!
Do they care about women at all?
The bill would have protected widows, underage girls and rape victims. It would’ve kicked against violence against women! So the vicious circle just continues until something is done.
