🧵 1/15 Nigeria ranks 184th out of 190 countries in female political representation. Despite women constituting nearly half of the electorate, they hold only 4.4% of legislative seats. The #SpecialSeatsBill will change this. Here's why we need to #PassTheSpecialSeatsBill👇🏽

In 2024, we're still defending why women deserve seats at the table 🤦🏾‍♂️ Less than 5% of Nigeria's Senate and House of Representatives are women but they make up half of the population. This isn't progress! Countries with more women in government have better healthcare,

Thank you, Mr Macaroni for using your platform to speak truth to power! 🙌🏾 Women make up half of Nigeria’s population but are sidelined in decision-making spaces. The #SpecialSeatsBill will change this. Let us make history together. 🇳🇬 #PassTheSpecialSeatsBill

Marriage is not a license for sexual violence. Trivialising marital rape as "free wi-fi" isn't just wrong; it's harmful & traumatising. The VAPP Act protects EVERYONE from rape, married or not, when: - There is NO consent - "Consent" is obtained through... spousal impersonation.

The law recognizes that rape can occur within marriage. A wedding ring doesn't override a person's right to bodily autonomy or their right to say no. Creating content that suggests married women can be raped with impunity doesn't just misrepresent the law - it endangers lives.

Such messaging emboldens perpetrators and silences survivors who may already struggle to seek help. We urge content creators to educate themselves before spreading harmful misinformation. Sexual violence isn't entertainment - it's a serious crime with devastating consequences.

Women in Nigerian Politics - A Moment of Reckoning. 1/ In just 59 days, Hon. Mojisola Meranda's journey as Lagos State Assembly Speaker ended. Sen. Natasha Akpoti's sexual harassment allegations against Sen President Godwin Akpabio expose deep-rooted systemic challenges.
