Gender Parity and Prohibition of Crime Against Women??? No thanks!!!

As Nigerians begin to come to terms with the fraud of the "change" mantra, with the president hardly recognisable these days (as he's never around) and the judiciary in shambles, the legislators ought to be the one tier of Government that Nigerians can rely on, especially as these are supposed to be the elected representatives of the people.

Sadly, the Nigerian senate is the most hopeless and useless congress in any democratic dispensation the world over. This gathering of strange bed fellows just threw out a bill advocating for gender equality and the right of a widow to be the sole carer of her children in the event of the demise of her spouse and to have access to his assets for the benefit of the children left behind and herself.

This bill was aggressively objected by a mojority of the senators, arguing that it was against Sharia law which the Nigerian Constitution recognise, therefore when put to vote, the bill went straight out the window.

Now this brings me to the chief protagonist of this Bill Sani Yerima (God knows i cant even refer to this thing as Senator) the same man that implemented sharia law in Zamfara state when he was governor, chopped people's hands off for petty stealing, had people whipped in public, married a 13 year old girl under the guise of sharia...is the same person going against gender equality in 2016 in a senate with the likes of Ben Bruce and Lanre Tejuosho but yet again this pig Yerima succeed in forcing his caveman medieval agenda down everyone's throat.

The Nigerian senate has exposed itself as not fit for purpose in a modern day democracy...it has shown itself to be a beer parlour group of socially irresponsible and politically incorrect bunch of chancers, known for draconian laws, what with the 14year jail term homophobia laws, to the ammendments that allow the marriage of a minor and recently a failed attempt to gag social media freedom and now a chauvinistic archaic caveman behaviour.

Two weeks ago during International women's day, these disgraceful men joked about marrying more wives to commemorate women's day. Dino Melaye even stood up to say Nigerians must not marry women from abroad, so that the ones at home can be made useful in the "buy Nigeria" campaign or some nonsense along that line. No surprises then that an equal rights for women bill went straight into the bin.

It's safe to describe the Nigerian senate as a congress of Chauvinists, Paedophiles, Narcissists, Perverts, Extremists, Chancers, Rogues, Showmen, Illiterates, Cowards, Selfish and Clueless waste of space and some just turn up to raise their hands, nod off to sleep and share money...while Ben Bruce just wants to make videos.

These Senate needs a complete overhaulage and Nigerians need to flush them out. We need a clean bill and when we get to that bridge...we must cross it for good.
