NIGERIAN LAWMAKER SAYS IT IS DANGEROUS TO GIVE POWER TO WOMEN IN NATION BUILDING

“What I fear Mr. Speaker, they control us at home. When we give them opportunity outside, when they control us outside the home, they will capture everything Mr. Speaker. That is what I fear because most of the women are very intelligent because you can see a chief, a big man controlled by his wife. That is what I observe’, he said.

“Majority of the big people if you need something from them don’t go directly, go to the wife you will easily get what you want. So, if you give them more chance, one day they will overthrow us’, he raised alarm

He also posited that giving too much empowerment and enlightenment to women will place the men at a disadvantage in the political setting and warned of the consequences of handing too much power and opportunity to the women.

“I was voted, I came here with almost 60 to 70 per cent of my votes from women. So, if women understand this thing well well they will vote us out. If women become 70 to 80 percent in this chamber they will mess up,” he said.

‘We are the one controlling them that is why God say they should come under us. We will marry them, they will serve under us. God knows what is there with them. He knows everything with them that is why he said let them stay under our control’, Kazaure said
