Olori Wuraola had been speaking at the Emerging Women’s
Forum in Maryland, USA, where she said men and women can’t be equal because
each had its pivotal roles to play in life. Jombo didn’t quite agree with Her Highness, and took to
Instagram to tell what exactly she felt was gender equality. She wrote on her
Instagram:
“Dear Olori, The reason you can hold a microphone and speak
in public rather than at the backyard of the palace cooking jollof rice while
your husband travels the world, is because of women like you who fought for us
to live life and enjoy it equally like anyone else.”
- If I work for 3 hours and a man works for 3 hours, we both deserve to get paid the same
- A woman can now decide that, Marriage shall mean Partnership, Friendship, companionship as well as Passion; not slavery
- I am not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, or more responsible than a man. Likewise, I am If a man’s virginity cannot be tested on the wedding night, mine shouldn’t be tested as well
- Because my husband has authority in my home does not make me inferior. We are both equal in essence and worth. Our responsibilities are just different
- It means that my character/behaviour is solely guided by my principles not by society’s expectation It means that I can wear a crown too! Ask Queen Elizabeth
“Your Royal Highness, do not be deceived, your belief in
this revolution has absolutely no bearing in its movement. Stand tall, behind
the king, watch as more women understand this concept, watch as they break the
glass ceiling, reaching straight for the moon… and beyond…in their Louboutins.
FYI let’s not mistake gender roles for gender equality. I believe she was
clearly talking about roles / responsibilities as a woman hence my repost about
learning the right meaning of Gender equality.”
