Open letter to Senate President Lawan and Speaker Gbajabiamila

My very Distinguished Senator Ahmed Lawan and Right Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila; I write to you over a pressing matter concerning Nigerian women. Let me quickly do a disclaimer that I pen these thoughts as a Nigerian woman and not in any official capacity.
Permit me to cast your mind back to Nigeria’s democratic course since the 4th Republic and return of democracy in 1999. Nigerian women have grappled with near lack of representation in our dear country reputed to be the largest black nation in the world. Every Senate has proposed constitutional amendments of the 1999 Constitution handed down to us by the military.

So there s less than 500 shooting deaths a year of blacks by police that haven t increased or decreased BUT there s probably more than 7,500 black deaths by homicide in 2020, we know there were just under that number in 2019 and many localities have reported huge increases of homicides in 2020.
Also one question nobody ever asks: How many more homicides of blacks were
prevented by police?
After a year of fixation on topic, including sooo many protests and severe corresponding violence and looting that caused much bad will, and counterproductive related voting trends, I ve decided that I m pretty much with this guy, who wrote this Baltimore Sun op-ed almost two months before we all saw a video of George Floyd killed by a disgusting cop outlier

Legal Defence and Assistance Project (LEPAD), a coalition partner for Advance Gender Equality (SAGE) has called on National Assembly to alter the constitution to ensure that not less than 35 per cent of all political seats were constitutionally reserved for only women candidates in each election cycle.
LEDAP’s Senior Programme Manager, Pamela Okoroigwe made the call while delivering a lecture on “Legal Barriers that Inhibit Women’s Political Participation in Nigeria” at a one-day media parley held in Abuja over the weekend.
