Prof. Ugbebor, a guest speaker at the event, spoke on Electioneering; the sad reality of the relegation of women to the background and the rise of girl-child molestation among other things.The Mathematician of repute lamented that only two candidates were known during the election.
“The election should be on the best irrespective of sex. See Nigerian women for instance, they are one of the best educated in the world because our fathers and mothers did not discriminate against us. Yet, someone said that he is a presidential candidate and refused to elect a vice-president who is a woman.
“I will like to ask the local government chairman, how many primary health care delivery systems do you have? How many members of the House of Assembly have donated part of their constituency allowance to ensure that these clinics have doctors? What about violence against children, how many cases were dealt with? How many children were removed from such a situation? These are the questions to ask in order to make choices in the future.
vanguardngr Whilst molestation is abhorrent, your logic, dear Prof just doesn't follow. Some victims who are Profs have said it made them determined to make something out of life, driving them to actually be anything they wanted to be.
