    Simi raises concerns over plight of women in decision making

    Popular Nigerian singer, Simisola Ogunleye a.k.a Simi as expressed concern over the plight of women attaining their optimum goals especially in decision making processes.

    She said via her Twitter account @Simplysimi on Monday that women have to sweat to gain spots in policies and decision making processes in the country.

    She wrote,

    “I woke up angry today cos of a conversation I had before bed.

    “Women are so strong. So obviously strong. You sweat blood for a spot at a table that disrespects a sweat.

    “Then you spend every single day convincing people you belong there. And the damn table isn’t even all that.

    “And when you say “F…. it. My life, my rules.” They ask why. It’s because it never ends. Nothing is ever enough. And complaining is a waste of time.

    This is why most of the women that STAY winning have to win on their own terms. Ass-kissing is exhausting.’’

    The bubbly expectant mother said that, her tweets were triggered by a discussion she had before going to bed the previous night.

    She noted that although I have women are so strong but they have to struggle twice as hard to get a spot at the table, and when they get a table, they are still disrespected.

    Angry at the situation of things, Simi said women have to spend every single day of their lives trying to convince people that they belong where they are.

    The 32 year old singer stated that when women finally decide to be in charge of their lives and make their own rules, they are still questioned.

    “There was this guy that had a crush on me and wanted to take me out to the cinema. I told him to come and tell my mom. He came and told her and also informed her about the time I will be back. She didn’t make me feel like I had to hide anything from her . I was comfortable enough to always go to her and because she had always given me some boundaries, and I know she has given me a certain level of freedom and trusted me , it also helped to curb my excesses. I didn’t want to disappoint her because of the level of trust she had in me” She said.
