  • Women angle for greater intra party democracy

    Women politicians drawn from the three dominant parties in Ekiti and Osun states have called for greater intra party democracy to facilitate more participation of women.

    Rising from a one-day gathering in Ado Ekiti under the aegis of Community Life Project (CLP) and geared towards increasing women’s representation in political offices, they demanded for more representation both at the level of government and the party structure.

    Although they noted that there has been more women representation since they started their push in 2013 and that “party leaders have become less hostile” to their angling, the politicians drawn from the All Progressive Congress (APC), People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), say women need to “persevere and push harder in order to increase their reach”.

    Organised by CLP with support from Ford Foundation, the gathering also called for more collaboration and advocacy by women to ensure the passage of the Gender and Equal Opportunities Bill initiated by Senator Biodun Olujimi, a former deputy governor, Ekiti state.

    The bill, which has already scaled the first and second reading in the Senate is aimed at eliminating all forms of discrimination against women and provides the girl-child access to education, right to freedom and right against sexual abuse. It will also promote freedom for women to participate in any economic activity as well as guarantee equal opportunity for all Nigerian citizens irrespective of gender

    Mrs Cecilia Ebiesowa, PDP woman leader in Ekiti state says, “When we started, it was like some child’s play. In 2011, the political terrain was dirty, rough and nasty but today, we bless God, we’ve been fortunate and lucky. “In our state, we now have many female councillors, one woman local government chairman and two women senators. We’ve never had it so good. We are grateful to the Almighty God for what we’ve done. That affirmative action of 35 percent representation, we’ll get there”, she says.

    Speaking in the same vein, Alhaja Bola Olayiwola, Labour Party woman leader, Ekiti state says, “To God be the glory, we now have women everywhere, we’ll continue to push for more”. This view is shared by Mrs Mary Anjorin, PDP woman leader, Osun state who reel that in the past, “we had only woman leader but today we have women everywhere”. According to her, “We hope we’ll have more representation by next year. By the time we start our congresses, things will be better”.

    Mrs Omowunmi Otunla, former PDP woman leader, Osun state says, “We need your prayers in Osun state. Women in politics have been interacting and we’ll definitely make significant mark”. Their minds now seem to focus on Osun State House of Assembly, where there’s currently no woman member. “How can we not be represented in a vital organ that make laws that govern our lives?”, Otunla queries.

    Alhaja Agbeke Kudirat Nofiu, deputy chairman LP in Osun state says, “We just have to keep pushing if we want results. We cannot give up our struggle”. Mrs Anrike Samuel, one of the special assistants appointed by the APC government of Governor Rauf Aregbesola in Osun state says, “I’m a living witness of SA, we thank God for the life of the organisers of this programme”.

    While appraising the achievements in Ekiti, Dr Romoke Edu Ogunlana, Labour Party deputy chairman, west, Osun state says, “I’m so happy for the testimonies in Ekiti. We ask for the grace of God also in Osun. We’ll persevere and keep pushing”. Ogunlana however want women to be economically empowered for them to be able to make significant impact in politics.

    Alluding to the calibre of women who were elected senators in Ekiti, she says, “The calibre of women senators in Ekiti are not people anyone can push around. Economic force is therefore very important. We have to get women economically empowered”. She also called for legal support for women who are harassed and molested in the cause of electioneering.

    Narrating her awry ordeal when she ran for Senate in 2015, Ogunlana says, “When I contested in 2015, I was molested and harassed, my car was burnt. I took the matter to court but when it was time to give judgment, a nolle prosequi was entered by the Attorney General and that was the end of the matter”.

    But Mrs Folashade Faparusi Akinrinmola, chairman, Gbonyin LG in Ekiti state does not believe the strides in Ekiti is as a result of “women supporting women or that we have done the needful” but more because “we have a woman friendly governor”. “We really need to go and educate women at the grassroots if we are serious about increasing women representation. Let’s go to the grassroots, it’s not going to be easy with those men”, she says

    Arguing further that “women are their own worst enemies”, Akinrinmola says, “Our fellow women will be the one challenging you and asking you whether you are the only one”. Citing the case of a woman she once helped into political office, she says, “I once helped a woman to become vice chairman of the local government but by the time the chairman toasted her, she turned against me”.

    In her response, Executive Director, CLP, Mrs Ngozi Iwere asked the women not to be undaunted in their struggle. “It’s a long drawn struggle in which we must persevere in order to make some strides”. “Don’t forget we are dealing with a largely patriarchal society where the power relationship does not favour women. We know the opportunities are very few but we cannot give up. But we need to prepare ourselves”.

    Narrating the struggles of women over the years in which some of the leaders were harassed, suffered great deprivations and even death, Iwere quips: “Don’t also forget that some women made a lot of sacrifices for women to be educated and participate in elections through the universal adult suffrage”.

    “When we say men have power, it’s because they fight as a collective. Talking alone cannot do it, we need to mobilise our women to work in harmony. Let’s also learn to pool our resources together in order to make significant impact. We need to push for the 35 per cent affirmative action to be domesticated in Nigeria. Let’s try and push and leverage on it in order to get more appointive and elected positions”, she says.

    Ahead of the 2015 elections, CLP started a two-year project in 2013 that was aimed at increasing the participation of women in party politics in Ekiti and Osun States. The objective was also to build a coalition and pressure group of women politicians across party lines and to advocate for affirmative action for women to be better represented in party leadership positions, party congresses and elections

    The review of the project at the end shows a tremendous achievement and improvement in women participation in politics in both states. Feedback gathered from the State women leaders of three of the major political parties (All Progressive Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP) and People’s Democratic Party (PDP)) indicate that more space were created for women.

    In Ekiti, the number of women holding leadership positions within the party structures went from 407 to 949 out of 8,409 positions and from 533 to 2,173 out of 25,985 positions in Osun in the three major political parties. There was also increase in the number of women contestants for party positions. Data sourced from the women political leaders showed that 1,244 women delegates attended party congresses for the 2015 Elections. At the local government level, we now have a woman who contested and won the chairmanship position in Ekiti state

    Before the 2015 elections, Ekiti had 28 women in political offices out of 168 elected and appointed public officers. This number has jumped to 49 women in 2015. Previously, Ekiti had no women representatives at the national level; now, Ekiti can boast of 2 women senators out of 3 senators in the state.

    Osun also has 10 women in elected offices while appointments into various political offices are still being awaited.

    During the 2015 Elections, 36 women from both states contested for National Legislative offices: 11 women out of 42 candidates ran for the Senate while 25 women out of 92 candidates ran for the Federal House of Representatives. A total of 109 women also contested for the State Houses of Assembly Elections in Ekiti and Osun States.

  • Mrs Buhari decries women’s condition, child health in Nigeria

    The wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, on Tuesday decried poor conditions of maternal and child health in Nigeria.

    Mrs Buhari expressed the concern at the inauguration of the 50-bed capacity Maternal and children clinic built and equipped by the Aisha Buhari Foundation in Daura, Katsina State.

    She said that the situation became possible due to the poor conditions of the primary healthcare facilities.

    ” Let me reiterate that maternal and child mortality is a serious health challenge which requires support from all quarters before it can be tamed.

    Mrs Buhari called on stakeholders and well-to-do Nigerians to put in their best and turn the tide by addressing the challenges women faced.

    She said this prompted her to venture into the programme of promoting health of women as a cardinal mission in her life.

    Mrs Buhari added that the intervention was aimed at complementing the Federal Government’s effort in providing primary healthcare services to the less privileged families in Nigeria.

    The wife of the president said that the health of women and children was at the front burner of development discourse.

    She said, the National Health Policy had been drawn to lay emphasis on primary healthcare as the bedrock of our national health system.

    According to her, this becomes pertinent because most of the killer diseases affecting women and children are rampant at the primary level.

    ” Beyond diseases, the challenges women face trying to access medical care during pregnancy and childbirth are enormous and during childbirth, women are at their most vulnerable state; as such need a lot of attention and support.”

    She said that the facility, constructed in seven-months, was equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to handle vital checks, laboratory tests for in and out-patients as well as surgeries.

    Mrs Buhari expressed te hope that the facility would serve the purpose it was meant for by reducing maternal morbidity and mortality in the areas.

    She also urged Katsina State Government to provide the necessary staff and logistics to enable the complex operate at maximum capacity.

    From the inauguration venue, the wife of the president proceeded to Daura Motel, where she was honored by the wife of the state Governor, Mrs Zakiya Masari, as the African Empowerment Legend.

    Mrs Masari said that the award became necessary due to Mrs Buhari’s efforts in providing humanitarian services to the less privileged families in Nigeria

  • Protect women against abuse, Ambode Urges Governors

    …As Ajimobi, Aregbesola, Dickson, Others Underscore Women’s Role In Nation Building

    Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday acknowledged the resilient nature of women and their strategic role in national development, saying that it was important for concerted efforts to be made to protect them against abuse and anything that can inhibit their progress.

    Speaking at the 2017 National Women Summit of Oyo State Officials’ Wives Association (OYSOWA) held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, Governor Ambode said women are endowed with God-given abilities to get stronger no matter the circumstances and equally make positive difference in the lives of others even at their detriment.

    The Governor, who attended the event alongside his wife, Mrs Bolanle Ambode, said the least to appreciate women is for efforts to be made to create space for them and fight for their rights.

    According to Governor Ambode, “The least we can do to appreciate our women and reciprocate their resilience and sacrifice is to give them all the support they require to achieve their dreams.

    “As a Governor, I am strongly committed and determined to create the space for our women and protect them against abuse and everything that will inhibit their progress.

    “This is my commitment and I believe, it is the same for my other colleagues, including my brother, Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State whose support for his darling wife has made this event a reality.”

    While describing the theme of the summit which is “The Resilient Woman: Making a Difference,” as apt, Governor Ambode said it confirmed the hidden strengths of women which keep them going even in the face of most difficult challenges.

    He added: “It is this resilience that has made the woman the warmth and bond that keeps the family together.

    “This is very graphically expressed in the words of Eleanor Roosevelt who said “a woman is like a tea bag – you cannot tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water”. Our women have shown that they are not only strong but resilient, hardworking, gentle, loving and beautiful.

    “Over the years, the indispensability of women in governance has continued to be appreciated and recognized particularly in this part of the world. In Lagos, whenever I have the opportunity I always say this; if you want a job done well, give it to a woman. Women make the difference,” Governor Ambode said.

    Besides, Governor Ambode admonished women to positively deploy their skill set in any given position for the betterment of the country.

    In their lectures, former Vice President of Zimbabwe, Dr Joice Musuru and former First Lady of Liberia, Senator Jewel Howard-Taylor, who were the keynote speakers, said African women must be inspired to do more even when the challenge appears insurmountable and also have the desire to make positive transformation.

    They also advised women to be real, create their own stories, never give up and mentor the next generation of women leaders.

    In their goodwill messages, Governors Rauf Aregbesola (Osun); Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa) and the host Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo) all underscored the importance of women to nation building, saying any society or organization that position women other than the frontline role is destined for failure.

    They also called on women to revive the tradition of productivity and responsibility to the country in their children, saying such would bring about a better society, better nation and better people.

  • The Nigeria Football Federation says it will now switch focus to women’s team

    The president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has said that it will now concentrate on helping the women’s team.

    He was reacting to criticism that the Super Falcons have not played or trained since lifting the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations a year ago.

    Desire Oparanozie, who scored the winner in last December’s final, labelled the NFF efforts as “pathetic”.

    Pinnick apologised and admitted shortcomings by the federation as they focussed on the men’s team.

    “I apologise to them publicly – we have been trying to intensify our efforts in rebuilding the Super Eagles [Nigeria’s men’s team] which we have done,” he told BBC Sport.

    “Now we have secured the services of a foreign coach from America [Randy Waldrum] who is going to resume next week.

    “We have lined up a couple of matches for them and I have apologised to them because the truth is we wanted to concentrate on the [World Cup] qualifiers [for the men] which was quite intense.”

    Oparanozie was upset about the lack of action for the African champions ahead of the qualifiers for next year’s Nations Cup in Ghana, which will also decide the continent’s teams for the 2019 Women’s World Cup.

    “It’s quite pathetic because the Nations Cup and the World Cup is round the corner and all the other African teams are stepping up their preparations playing friendly games,” she told BBC Sport.

    “But we as the defending champions have not really done anything to really show we want to stay up there.

    “There have been no matches there hasn’t been any form of regrouping, no games played – nothing at all.

    “I am really concerned because to win the tournament you have to set up a good preparation, you have to recruit the girls, you have to make plans for camps.

    “We have been sleeping all this while and other teams have been away doing all the necessary and doing what they should do. So I am very worried that next year’s Nations Cup is going to be very tough for us.”

    She also bemoaned a lack of communication from the NFF.

    “I don’t know the NNF’s plans. The communication is just not there,” she complained.

    “For me personally I got to know about the [new coach’s appointment] on the internet I wasn’t informed by any member of the federation. The only person I got to discuss a bit about it was the team captain and she also read about it on the internet.

    Pinnick hit back at the claims and insisted the federation does keep an eye on all its players.

    “If they want to find out things they shouldn’t go to the social media, they have their secretary, they have head of the female department,” he explained.

    “But they just go on air to speak which is very wrong and I told Asisat [Oshoala] that when she came to see me because if you are doing that you are chasing our sponsors away – they will look at us as if we are not responsible.

    “We have been monitoring all of them. all their various clubs, all their movement. It was not good enough but at least we have players in the big leagues all over the world.”

  • I always run from women when it is getting sexual- Akin Lewis

  • Movie Review:When women gather, there is war- Toni Kan

     

    BY TONI KAN

    Every movie has an emotional core, its beating heart.

     

    In The Women, Blessing Egbe’s latest movie which opened in cinemas recently, the core lies in a statement mouthed by Teni (Omoni Oboli) who tells her long-suffering husband: “Where two or three women are gathered, there is a silent war.”

     

    Cold, hot or silent, wars lead to casualties and there are casualties aplenty in The Women.

     

    The premise of The Women is not absolutely original and neither does it pretend to re-invent the wheel. What Blessing Egbe, who gave us Lekki Wives, has done is to present us with a story (sprinkled with her inventive touch) that is real-to-life, thought provoking and funny as hell.

     

    Consider this killer exchange between Chubby and Omo.

     

    Chubby: Does your husband know you are here?

     

    Omo: No. If he finds out he will kill me

     

    Chubby: So why are you here then? You want to die?

     

    Her stellar cast is worthy of commendation; the men include Femi Branch who is hilarious as the over worked husband Ayo; Kalu Ikeagwu is Bez who is married to celebrity chick, Teni; Anthony Monjaro who plays Maro is a study in control while fat dude Gregory Ojefua is well, Chubby.

     

    Then we have the women; Ufuoma McDermott is Omo; beautiful, sexy but materialistic. Her husband is going through a bad patch but the only thing on her mind is a destination 40th birthday party and when Dubai will not happen she chooses a resort in-country.

     

    Omoni Oboli is cold and unfeeling as the snobbish celebrity wife of Bez. She is imperious and condescending.

     

    Kate Henshaw is Ene. Married to a fat, illiterate slob of an Igbo man, she is sexually uninhibited.

     

    Katherine Obiang is Rose and she is suffering from a strong case of konji. Married to Ayo, they are the only real couple in the movie and even then, they do have their moments but in them, one can see the explication of the maxim – a couple that trashes things out, stays together!!!

     

    The four leading female characters are dysfunctional with a capital D. They are like distended boils ripe with secrets; a little prick and it all comes spilling out.

     

    That ‘prick’ comes from a weekend get-away at a resort where Omo has planned her 4oth birthday party. Here, Blessing Egbe, who is a triple threat on this movie as writer, producer and director, shows her deft story telling abilities.

     

    Riding the wave of the true and tested “Couples’ Get-away trope”, she gives us a compelling Nollywood comedy drama or to use her term, “dramedy” which shows us how carefully laid plans can unravel. The four couples’ time away leads to the revelation of secrets with dire consequences for all concerned.

     

    But first there is a young woman, a model, who is at the resort and who, surprise – surprise, used to work for Maro, Omo’s husband.

     

    Call her a distraction and you won’t be far wrong. She is the only wrong move in an otherwise beautifully constructed story. Her being at the resort is so contrived and doesn’t play well with the verisimilitude already established.

     

    For verisimilitude, just look out for when Kate Henshaw grabs and flings a bottle!

     

    But The Women is, on the whole, a well done, feel-good movie which even though it addresses very tough concerns from adultery to avarice, child abuse to mental health issues, still manages to avoid the sentimental preachiness that can so easily creep into movies like this.

     

    This is a movie that does not attempt to get ahead of itself. The plot is well articulated with a story that is explicated by a cast of wonderful actors. The sound and photo quality are near excellent and the only time there is a snag is at the lounge when Omo loses it and the sound quality flags.

     

    Omoni Oboli’s mae culpa at the end should be taught at drama school. She is brilliant as a woman tired of lying and hiding and who is finally ready to lay it all bare albeit a tad bit too late.

     

    Many times, when we see a movie, we focus too much on the stars, blinded by their shine we do not pay enough attention to the writing, to the peculiar turns of phrases that make all the difference. Blessing Egbe is a brilliant writer and her best line in this movie occurs at the resort while Omo and her husband, Maro are having a conversation.

     

    Maro: Why did you lie?

     

    Omo: I did not lie. I just chose not to tell the truth.

     

    And isn’t that what most of us do?

     

    The Women holds up a mirror to our materialistic and lie-addled society and the reflection is not pretty.

     

  • Saudi Arabia appoints first spokeswoman

    Saudi Arabia appointed its first female spokesperson at its embassy in Washington, hours after Saudi women were granted the right to drive.

    “Proud to serve the @SaudiEmbassyUSA as the spokeswoman. I’m grateful for the opportunity, the support, and well wishes,” the spokeswoman, Fatimah Baeshen, wrote on Twitter.

    She also worked as a consultant at the World Bank and the Islamic Development Bank.

    On Tuesday, King Salman ordered the Interior Ministry to give “licences to women and men equally.”

    The move, which will go into effect in June, comes after Saudi women and international rights groups have for several years campaigned to lift the ban, which was condemned as a symbol of oppression.

    Saudi women were allowed to vote and run as candidates in the municipal elections for the first time in 2015.

    King Salman recently ordered an end to the long-standing guardianship rule, which denied women access to government services if they did not have a male relative’s consent.

    However, women continue to require a male guardian’s approval to travel abroad or get married.
