In our country, Nigeria, they are Alfa men. I mean the male class of the ruling elite. Actually, there were almost no female classes from the ruling elite since the emergence of this country in 1914 when the northern and southern protectorates were merged by the British authorities. There is this legend that it is a woman who, today in Nigeria, will be considered as the main ‘side girl’ or empress for the ruler of our country named Nigeria, Nigeria. The woman, Flora Shaw, was a British journalist, and then Lord Frederick Lugard’s wife, a British colonial administrator. The story is that in 1897, Flora Shaw created the name “Nigeria” to refer to the area around the Niger River, a river found by Mungo Park regardless of that people had lived on the same river for centuries before the arrival of strangers who were reluctant, nothing was good, nothing was not good.
Ironically, if Flora Shaw is still alive today, he will be at the forefront of agitation to respect the rights of senator Natasha Akpoti-Uuduaghan. He is a strong advisor to women’s rights. There are still some women who speak in the promotion and defense of women’s rights. But their voices were muffled and often drowned by the hustle and sacrifice of the sound of the alpha man who was the guardian of “Ji Nma” or the holder of the stick and carrot in the realm of Nigeria. Women in the Margaret Ekpo mold, Funmilayo Ransom-Kuti, Ratu Amina, Gambo Sawaba, and ABA female leaders who protested in 1929 were extinct.
The riots of ABA 1929 women were led by Madame Nwanyeruwa. A frightening and very brave woman who inspires others to regulate a large -scale up rebellion against British colonial administrators in the southeastern part of the country. The riots that are also known as Women’s War are responses to the introduction of direct taxation for women and policies that oppress the British colonial government. Significantly, ABA’s Women’s War inspired other events in other parts of Igboland, and Nigeria throughout the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Indeed, historians note that the riots are important events in the rise of African nationalism and challenges for the British colonial government in several African countries including Nigeria. Natasha will be sure if we still have Nwanyeruwas, Funmilayos, Margarets, Gambos and Aminas. In a certain sense, Natasha is an orphan. The tragedy is that what is currently happening to the Natasha senator in the cult called the Nigerian Senate, the National Election Commission (Inec) which is very corrupt and incompetent and incompetent, the government’s executive branch in Abuja and Lokoja (KOGI State), and among some political actors who have been demanded by the people who are far abroad who are interpreted abroad. Exiled by rankings who are abroad, who are far abroad, which are exiled by ranking far abroad who are far abroad who are far abroad. Real which is far outside the national that is far abroad that is far abroad. Real that is far abroad that is outside a long distance relationship. If the mafia in politics and various branches of our government succeeded in silencing the senator Natasha Akpoti-Uuduaghan, then the fate of our women and children will be permanently disturbed. Women will be dicking. Their participation in politics and government will be affected. The teenage girl at the university will be forced to sign the silence code in the face of sexual harassment by her lecturer or superiors. Women who want a career in a company or Nollywood will lose the courage to mention names and embarrass male sex predators. In the end, this country lost. Integrated efforts to extinguish what seems to be the Nigerian Me Too season with allegations of sexual harassment against the President of the Senate Godswill Akpabio by his colleague, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has terrible damage to this country. That we don’t seem to care about it surprising, for at least. It is very instructive and curious that the Natasha senator zone which can only collect around 100,000 votes between two leading competitors in 2023 after about one year of campaigns, able to produce 250,000 votes in a matter of hours to trigger the withdrawal planned by Natasha. Curioususer is still the fact that the face of the withdrawal campaign is the Assistant of the Governor of the State of Kogi who is a famous Natasha political enemy.
In the past month all kinds of kitchen sinks were thrown to Natasha just because he complained about the toxic work environment. He claimed that he suffered privacy at his workplace, which was a Federal Republic Senate, because he refused the alleged sexual progress that repeatedly from the Senate President, Akpabio, who was also the Chairperson of the National Assembly. In an unexpected thing, the Akpabio senator is the third in accordance with the president. So the office he occupies is significant. Usually, Natasha material must be simple and direct. The burden is to people who accuse other mistakes to prove their heavy accusations. The easiest way to solve this problem is to provide a platform to place accurate in place and then discredit his claims, and reject the evidence he claims are in his ownership.

But not. First, his request was initially rejected because he signed it in conflict with the Senate government. Finally, he managed to submit a amended version but at that time several senators said in public that his request was dead at the time of arrival. How could the Legal Making Agency so that it violated the law, without wisely, reckless, and insolent? Previously, the Chairperson of the Senate Committee for Public Petitions, Neda Imaseun, existed in all television stations that talked about petitions and suggested that Natasha’s accusations had no achievements. Even as rotten as our country, it is still difficult to find something that is very unreasonable to compared with the behavior of the Imaseun senator. Well, his behavior should not be completely surprising. After all, there is information in the public domain that the man is a fugitive from the law in the United States (US) where he is expelled from legal practices in the state of New York because of fraud. But he is a symbol of many office holders since returning to the government by civilians in 1999. The head of the executive branch is a very damaged person. The Chairperson of the National Assembly who is also the president of the Senate has a multi-miliar naira fraud by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) on his neck until he is smuggled into the office. There is also a speculation that the head of the judiciary is in the US No-visa list. He may be the head of Nigeria’s First Court (CJN) who was appointed to the office twice – first when he was nominated in acting capacity and then when he was confirmed by the Senate. There are so many awkwardness in the current dispensation.
If the current Nigerian Senate is not a sect led by a man who is adept at shaking people in the mafia style, Natasha’s material should not last more than two weeks. Now the problem should be out of the national agenda, in one way or another. Both Akpabio and Natasha will be forced to appear before the Senate Ethics Panel led by an unnamed senator. There was a precedent with the former Senate Olusola Saraki president when one of his colleagues accused him of making a mistake. He stepped sideways, appearing before the relevant committee and cleaned his name. It seems that in this case that Akpabio did not see himself as ‘the first of the equivalent’. He might consider himself as an executive president with a constitutional fully complementary – guaranteed immunity. If that’s the problem, then there is an urgent need to remind him that he is not what he might think.
Let me conclude with the mind of a female professor in the Whatsapp group where I am, who responded to a man who sounded like misogynists in Natasha V Akpabio faced. He wrote: “As much as I do not want to be involved in political matters, I am constrained to make some comments (in response, actually the reprimand from what a man posted). First, … I am surprised that you call Senator Natasha as an Alasju in front of general (bomb. Evidence.
“Instead of doing the right thing, they issued a ‘smoking weapon’ and carried out frontal attacks. They took ‘àtamo and joined àtamo, painting the woman was black and discussed everything except the substance of the problem. Many men cried. Real and it destroyed the lives of many people (my emphasis). Workplaces.
Why are Senator Akpabio afraid of impartial investigations? What did he run? Why are so many people ready to punish him instead of asking that the environment that allows for the proof? May I also ask that the Akpabio senator must provide evidence to these people, for people who control those people, for people who accuse those people in it. Nigerian residents. The mistake we made was thinking that this problem was only about Natasha. No. No. This is about the future of girls. This is about impunity. This is about the code of silence and enforcement. This is about the future welfare of this country. Evil perpetrators will be brave if they managed to silence and destroy Natasha.
