I remember an election in Nigeria at 2011, PDP convention where the party voted to nominate their presidential nominee. Sarah Jibril, the only woman aspirant got only ONE VOTE and that was her own vote! I looked at all the women with head gears and the elitist women who were party card carrying members who had campaigned that more women should be allowed to handle more seats in the political arena of the Country and shook my head.
None of them voted for this fellow womanā¦rather sad in my opinion. Sometimes I think we are only playing lip service to our cry and desire to give more women a chance.
How can we get more women into leadership positions when we cannot support one another as women? We are territorial and operate a pull her down syndrome once it is not us that is vying for a post.
Often we gossip about each other pinpointing only the bad side to other women. You will hear things like, āwho does she think she is?ā āIs she the only one?ā āI can do it better than herā. And guess who we are babbling this castigation to? The MEN O! How can they ever take us seriously?
If a fellow sister is occupying an office or has what it takes to handle that position support her. In the office some of us women will be unserious or lazy in carrying out the duties of our job. Then we will expect this boss woman to turn the other eye or we simply say, āBut she should understand now, Is she not a woman too?! Since when has been a woman become an excuse not to do your job and then you want the men to give us a chance to handle things! Come on, women letās wake up. Give your best shot at your job and stand out. I know we have to attend to other things in our lives but seriously stop making excuses; stop being lazy and get on with doing your job well. When you do really have to be excused from work let it be noted that something must really be wrong.

Then this one gets to me. Two women in an office, they are either bosses or colleagues if you like and then they have a misunderstanding ā¦heheheā¦work don stop be dat o!

Girl you really need to draw the line between carrying out the duties of your job and personal grouse. If there is a problem face the issue. Be matured enough and be the first to initiate sorting out the problem so that your work can go smoothly. You donāt have to be best of friends with everyone but you can be cordial/friendly after all we all have something we do those other people do not like about us. So stop keeping malice already and get on with your job.

It is time to support one another as women; Time to change that style of pull her down syndrome; Time to see the good in other women.
