The lot of Nigerian women in the workplace has not always been pleasant. It is even more brutish in the political arena. Gender activists and other stakeholders gathered in Abuja recently to ponder their lot.

MRs. Rifkatu Samson Dannahn the only female member of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, suspended for about one year. from the House by her male colleagues, was the cynosure of many eyes at the Women in Parliament summit in Abuja penultimate week.

Her circumstances were reflective of what many at the summit bewailed as the discrimination that has been the lot of many women in the political arena.

Dannahn was suspended from the Bauchi State House of Assembly after she protested that her male colleagues reached an agreement to transfer the headquarters of the Tafawa Balewa Local council from the constitutionally stipulated location to another part of the local government at a secret meeting.
This whole politics stuff should just be for men alone...The women should just stay clear cos it's becoming too bloody nowadays.
