I read all about the Gender Equality bill in Nigeria and how it died at the second reading on the second floor, and I was disappointed, but not surprised. \u00a0I mean, we’re talking about Nigeria – our beloved country that still doesn’t think a woman’s body actually belongs to her. Single or married, every man has the right to tap current when they see you, especially when it’s in a public place like the market. It’s an unspoken rule.<\/p>\n

\"Gender-Equality\"<\/p>\n

I was going to write about it, and I had so much to say on the issue, but I was weak. The thought of everything I wanted to say made me weak. Why would such a bill die sef? Do men not want their wives, sisters, and daughters to live in a world where they are not discriminated against based on their gender? Even if they don’t want their wives to do well, do they also not want their daughters to do well?<\/p>\n

Then I came across this video yesterday and suddenly, it all began to make sense again. In the video below, a woman asks some pastors what she should do about her husband who smokes, drinks, has no job, and beats her.<\/p>\n
