On March 16, 2016, Nigerians received the biggest disappointment yet when the Senate rejected the Gender And Equal Opportunity Bill.
We wondered why the Senators rejected a Bill that moved for the protection of widows, rape victims and the elimination of discrimination against women.
Finally, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe from the Abia South Senatorial District came to our rescue and disclosed that the Bill was rejected because some of the senators were afraid.
According to him, the senators felt the Bill would make women abandon their responsibilities and become prostitutes and lesbians.
Unbelievable!!!
How does empowering women, making laws that prevent them from oppression and rape have to do with prostitution?
Because it looks like the Senators are actually afraid of independent women with rights.
When your senators are only good at embarrassing and disappointing you.
When your senators keep doing nothing except ‘keeping money’ and taking the country backwards.
