she wrote, ''I have always said it...we HAVE to first understand what gender
equality is before the #genderequalitybill will make sense''

Dear Olori, The reason you can hold a microphone and speak
in public rather than at the backyard of the palace cooking jollof rice while
your husband travels the world, is because of women like you who fought for us
to live life and enjoy it equally like anyone else
Please see below a summary of what the fight for gender
equality is about:
**If I work for 3 hours and a man works for 3 hours, we both
deserve to get paid the same
**A woman can now decide that, Marriage shall mean
Partnership, Friendship, companionship as well as Passion; not slavery
**I am not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, or
more responsible than a man. Likewise, I am never less
**If a man’s virginity cannot be tested on the wedding night,
mine shouldn’t be tested as well
**Because my husband has authority in my home does not make
me inferior. We are both equal in essence and worth. Our responsibilities are
just different
**It means that my character/behaviour is solely guided by
my principles not by society’s expectation of how I “should” behave
**It means that I can wear a crown too! Ask Queen Elizabeth
.
Your Royal Highness, do not be deceived, your belief in this
revolution has absolutely no bearing in its movement. Stand tall, behind the
king, watch as more women understand this concept, watch as they break the
glass ceiling, reaching straight for the moon… and beyond…in their Louboutins.
