More quotes by Joe Okei-Odumakin

This is unacceptable! Nigeria is a democratic country under the law and not a dictatorship or banana republic.

There is no country that can prosper if a quarter of its population is left behind. And the wellbeing of girls amounts to the wellbeing of the country.

It is so obvious that the Nigerian society is not committed to the wellbeing of the girl child going by the spate of sexual violence on girl children in recent time and the high level of abandonment and threat to the education and health of the girl child.

Education still remains the quickest way to liberate a mind and no amount of talk can do this if we fail to educate the girl child. I also believe that laws protecting the girl child must not only be enacted but must also be enforced. And we must ensure compliance.

Women generally speak the same language – silence, and breaking this culture is what a few women have tried to do. A lot of women are not empowered and they allow themselves to be used by politicians as cheer leaders. They bring them to clap at political rallies.
