If The Name "Nigeria" Was Coined By A Woman,Then Why Cannot A Woman Become The President Of Nigeria?
Nigeria as a country has not come to terms with the reality and the true essence of democracy.
We talk change but a lot of things need to be changed,I mean so many things that have retarded the political and economic growth of the country.
Political radicalism and progressive philosophy should be embraced by all towards a better modern Nigeria.
I was reflecting and flashing back on my history text book we read during our days in the junior seminary and I came to remember that Flora Shaw,Lady Lugard and who happened to be a British Journalist and Writer was credited with having coined the name "Nigeria".Flora Shaw a correspondent with the Times Magazine was said to be the highest paid woman Journalist in her times.
What I mean is that it was a woman that named our country her name Nigeria.
If a woman can name our country with her name,what then is holding Nigerian politicians from giving women politicians the leeway to the corridor of political power?
Nigeria should be independent from a lot of things and must shun gender inequality and let's try women to see if a true wind of change can sweep across Nigeria.
