Ending militarism in the home
As men, we own the house with its entire property, including our wives. If women shouldn’t be our properties then why are we asked to pay so much to take them from their parents? Beating your wife is not violence, so, the world should stop putting it that way. Women ask for too much and sometimes have to be dealt with to be called to order! My wife is my property and I have every right over her; after all, didn’t I buy her with my money? Sometimes you hear people say husbands rape their wives, but how possible is that? Is the man not supposed to have right over his wife? Anyway, if my wife dares to deny me sex then it means she has given me a clean license to go out and enjoy myself!”

In this interview with Vista Woman at the event, Barr.(Mrs.) Phil Nneji, Executive Director, GCCAI, debunks the claim that giving aids to people in such communities makes them lazy, and also calls on government to consider having a round table discussion on a viable way forward for Makoko instead of a one-sided decision like the demolition exercise with which the community was threatened with months ago.
TOURISM: Giving it an attractive image
I must confess that I was highly surprised to learn from a colleague that one-way airfare from Lagos to Abuja is thirty thousand naira (N30,00). It seemed outrageous to me.
