Additional quotes by Chinyere Stella Okunna
There was a time we thought we were improving. Before this last election, Anambra had two female Senators which was very good. There are usually three senators per state and women had two. But in the last election those two women lost their positions and so there is no single woman at that level now in Anambra state. In the House of Assembly, there was only one woman and the last election did not improve the situation.
Women are handicapped when it comes to politics and part of the handicap is religion and culture. I don’t think any culture in Nigeria encourages women in this regard. May be Yoruba culture; but even then, most of our culture and religion in Nigeria don’t believe women should be in politics. Even up till today 2023, many men think women should not be in politics. If any woman wants to go into politics they shout: What is she going to do there?

Do you remember the gender bills that were proposed recently? All of them were dropped; none of them were passed. I used to say I don’t believe in tokenism or quota system but it seems ideal in Nigeria now and women need encouragement and support through the quota system or policies to include them in governance or leadership.
