 WHEN THOUGHT ARISES: MEN'S WORLD VERSUS  WOMEN'S


By Julius Nsikak





In Nigeria, when a man contests a political position, his wife often plays a supportive role to ensure his success. After winning, she typically initiates pet projects to boost her husband's administration and improve the lives of the represent people. 


However, when the tables turn and a woman contests a political office, her husband's support is often conspicuous by its absence.


Why don't men openly support their wives in politics, initiating projects to benefit the governed, just as women do for their husbands? Is it because men do not see the need to support their partners outside the family sphere? Or is it due to societal expectations and patriarchal norms?





Some argue that men are busy with business or lack the confidence to solicit funds for projects. However, in today's revolutionary era, this narrative needs to change. Partners should support each other in all aspects. We must challenge patriarchal and male chauvinistic thinking and promote equality.
