Analyzing The Bad Nigerian Electoral System, Bad Mentality And Culture Of Nigerian's Who are meant To Be Change Agents. WHAT WE HAVE TO DO

For a pack of salt or a bag of rice, w e have sold ourselves as slaves to the political elite. They breed lies as promises and dole out small money, and we receive without questions, we eat and are satisfied and wait for the next campaign to eat some more. While they enrich themselves for four years, waiting for the next election to share some more salt. Election day, majority aren't excited to take power into their hands, they lie at home, scared for their lives. How did we get here? We've been robbed of our franchise. How did we get here?

The "African" Woman

By: Onyekachi Nwitte-Eze Liberating the African Woman: Breaking the Chains of Silence and Subjugation From the moment she takes her first breath, the African woman is enveloped in a society that dictates her worth solely based on her gender. Born into a world where patriarchal norms reign supreme, she is indoctrinated with the belief that her existence revolves around serving men and conforming to societal expectations of marriage and motherhood. In this narrative, her voice is stifled, her aspirations secondary, and her autonomy relegated to the shadows. The essence of womanhood for the African woman is often reduced to her ability to bear children, maintain a household, and secure a husband. Stripped of agency and silenced by societal pressures, she internalizes the notion that her identity is incomplete without fulfilling these prescribed roles. Consequently, the pursuit of marriage becomes her primary goal, overshadowing her individuality and relegating her to a position of sub...
