….. Says Women are the Workforce of the Society
By Ikenwa Charity
Ahead of the 2023 Presidential election, Nigerian women have been advised to take their rightful place in the political unity and development of the country, as well as make a difference at the polls.
Deputy National Youth Leader of the Nigerian Labour Party, Dr Moses Paul, who gave the advice on Tuesday in Abuja said once women took their rightful places in politics, business and every other sphere, the whole place changes.
Dr Paul who spoke at the Media Unveiling of “Nigeria Obidient Women Forum” (NOWF), said the Nigerian society was failing essentially, because a lot of women failed to take their place adding that the moment women take their place in any society; they would make positive impact in the solution to some of the social crisis facing the country.
He said therefore, “the mothers knew that they failed when a 13-year-old boy who was recruited into a terror cell returned to rape his own mother and sister;’ pointing out that it was because women failed to take their place in the society that has brought Nigeria to the brim of being the most terrorized nation.
He emphasized that if women can take their place in the society, wherever and whenever it happens the society would grow as women are the workforce of the society.
Also speaking, National President of the Nigeria Obi-dient Women Forum. Evang. Ngozi Joseph, said that Nigerian women were now prepared for politics.
She said before now, women lost their voices but “today many of them have gotten the understanding that is beyond a kitchen or backyard thing.”
According “It is something that we are really going out to achieve. We will identify with media because whatever we are doing is in line with whatever that was required and that the world is seeing who we are, what we said and whatever we are going to be doing. So that’s the mindset, it has changed their mindset for they have seen that this course is a movement that is going to change their destination.”
On the inauguration she said “God has blessed us with wonderful excos, women who are having the same mindset with the vision. They caught the vision and they are working with it. They believe with me that yes, we need to change the narratives, we need to wake up other sisters, let them fall in into the part of resurrecting womanhood in the Nigerian Politics.”
She said “I called this mission sisters watching other sister’s back. Just like you can tell your elder child to take care of the younger ones. Yes, I agree with you cause naturally we women are jealous, we are envious, for instance, if I should support her, she will become House of Reps member or a Senator and she will not remember me, she will dress better than me but then we have been able to tell that in doing this for many years, you have not benefitted, you give away your space to the men and come back crying or collecting crumbs from the men. Why not support your fellow sister to be there and you will have every right to knock at her door and said we did this for you and this is what we want.”
On his part, the National Patron of the group, High Chief Blessing Arungwa, said “As far as the nation is concern women occupy an integral position in every nation building. If you take away women from every nation, believe me that society will not progress. So, if you want a society or a nation that will advance from one level of development to the other, you must involve women. Certainly, with the women in positions in the affairs of the Nigerian nation, Nigeria will move from where we are to a better nation.”
He further said “the sensitization is there, we are re-orientating our mind, why? because we know that we cannot do it alone, so all we need to do is to go out and re-educate the men, make them understand that there’s need for a man to allow his wife or his daughter to get involved in politics.”
In her remarks, the Labour Party FCT Women Leader, Ngozi Doga said “I used to encourage women to come out in Politics. We already have two Women aspirants in the name of Ireti Kingibe and Joy Ohemero contesting for House of Representative and Senate under Labour Party; this is not the time for women to stay at the back, we are encouraging them to come out and participate because the Obedient movement a movement that God has destined. It’s a movement that will bring about a new Nigeria, you can see how the women came out to purse this movement.”
She said “It’s true that men are still the head of the family, we women are supporters but I’m telling you today that this time around is not the time for a woman to sit at home without doing anything. Anywhere men are, women are equally there. Men and women support each other. As for me, I am supporting my husband and my husband is supporting me.”
