This is the conclusion of this article published last Wednesday.

Our women, with the attractions from the sordidities that go with western women style of emancipation agitation, have degenerated to something very difficult to fathom.

Today, Nigerian women want to rule Nigeria in perpetually all facets of life endeavours. That has led women to active political participation. Women today not only belong to political parties but do all the rots that men do in the name of trading and wrestling power.

Nowadays, women attend late night meetings leaving their husbands at home. In the bid to respond to emergency and political meetings, women abandon their responsibilities in the homes and rush out of the house against all entreaties.

It is not uncommon to see women pursuing the substance of their claim that whatever a man can do, they can do even better at every point in time. Because of this, women are found in the army to shoot guns as men do, they are found in the police to arrest people and rogues as men do. In like manner and for the same reasons, women are now judges to sentence people to jail. Call the profession and women are there, though in fewer number for now.

If women do all the jobs and say all things, then, we are already in a new world where there is no real man and no real woman. Today, women are divesting themselves from themselves and are doing so with obstinate impunity. Women now dress as men, talk as men, walk as men, eat as men, drink copiously and lead vagrant life. Rampant as women are seen naked on the way; sordid and indecent as they obviously appear; as much flak as they attract from the public, do not attract any repentance or remorse from them. Why? Because they want to be men.

But come to think of it, if women imitate men, do that make them men? If a woman moots the ambition of becoming a man, does it not stop at mere unachievable ambition?

The nagging questions are: Is it true that a woman can do better in everything a man can? What can possibly be the source of such bogus claim? Many have suggested it is from the pit of hell. Naturally speaking, what are the roles of women and that of men in our society? Nature has endowed men and women with different potentials and different capacities given different conditions to enhance each capacity.

No success can be achieved in this discourse without making reference to the creator, the one that made Himself and made everything else, men and women alike. But what was the purpose of God  for making the woman and what is His purpose for creating man?

Man and woman have similarities and peculiarities. Each peculiarity is for a purpose. By now, it should be a popular knowledge that the chief purpose of God for making woman is to achieve one of His most important and earliest commands to man: “Go to the world and multiply.” It therefore means that God made the woman to have offspring through her. To bear and nurture babies is the sole aim of God for making woman. This is the most peculiar function of woman as is the mind of God. But today, women, in order to achieve their inordinate ambition of lordship over man, has bastardized and derogated this aim of God by calling it baby-making machine, just to draw sympathy and insinuate wickedness.

Now that women are no longer contended in the division of labour based on sex and are now bent on the destructive new idea of a unisex world, the worst is in the offing.

The word of God which made it succinctly clear that man was made for Himself (God) and woman was made for man is not being considered nor heeded in this quest of theirs.

Women are arguing that their involvement in governance will help boost development. But how can women contribute to meaningful and sustainable development when they are leaving the base where they are most relevant? The onus is on women to rear children, nurture and train them morally, educationally and otherwise. When women shy away from their natural and most competent duty, how can we have decent, sincere, diligent and patriotic persons with whom women tend to work to achieve their perceived development? How can a woman bring up good children when she assumes to be deeply engrossed with the busy schedules of public life? How can a woman know what goes on in the family when she places premium on regular strenuous and time-consuming political, board and club meetings? How can the family through which the nation is composed develop when the activities of the women leave the men sad and short-lived because of mind-bogging and blood-sapping arguments from their wives?

When a working man and working wife leave home in the morning with sad minds only to return home late in the night and their subordinates work in fear because of transferred aggression,  it does not leave the family with any hope of anything good because house-helps become governors as do the mice when the cats are away. Also, imagine a situation when children are yet to wake up before mummy leaves for work and they had already gone to bed before she returns. This is a risk Nigerians should not elect to undertake.

When the girl thinks and believes she is a boy and the boy is confused whether he is really a boy; when the difference between the man and woman requires one to solve a mathematical equation; when man is forced to believe that the woman truly can do all things and leaves out some for the women to do; when all those things that encouraged the man to subdue the world as he has done are removed and man and woman are on their own; when the evo stick that binds the man to his wife is weakened and instead, vagaries of inordinate ambitions replace; it goes without gainsaying that the world is tending towards an undefined, yet perilous future.
