Prof. Dr. Bahar Taşeli Sakallı ii ABSTRACT In the 21st century, women in Nigeria still face challenges in politics both in the local and national offices. In a world where media is one of the most important agencies of identity construction and representation, it is important to study how the media represents women in Nigeria. This thesis looks at the representation of the women in Nigerian political news during the general election in 2015. The Guardian and Vanguard online newspapers have been reviewed covering the period of February to April 2015. In doing so, the study employs textual analysis from a gender perspective to analyze and understand the approaches used by the media.

  • Gender Imbalance in Nigeria's Legislature
    International Journal of Applied Business & International Management, Vol. 4 No. 2 (2019) International Journal of Applied Business & International Management P-ISSN: 2614-7432 ; E-ISSN: 2621-2862 Website: www.ejournal.aibpm.or/IJABIM Research paper, Short communication, and Review Gender Imbalance in Nigeria’s Legislature: A Peep into the 7th and 8th Assemblies Obiwuru Chidera Rex Department of Politics and International Relations Esep Le Berger Univeristy, Benin Republic Correspondence Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Marginalization of women in politics is very apparent most especially in Africa, where women are deemed by many as having no business with politics. In Nigeria, the above statement is also a fact when one considers the number of female parliamentarians in the country’s National Assembly. Ever since Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999, there have not been a substantial number of women in the legislature when compared to the number of their male counterparts. In the 7th and the 8th assemblies the problem still persisted. Howbeit, there are several factors responsible for this issue and these factors are what this study tries to look at. But before that, this paper looks briefly at the 7th and the 8th assemblies. To achieve the above however, secondary data is purely used. Keywords: Gender, imbalance, Nigeria, legislature, 7th, 8th, assembly. Introduction The parliament is, as a matter of fact, one of the most potent and important organs of the modern government. Some countries operate a unicameral legislature while others run the antithesis which is bicameral legislature. As a nation operating a bicameral parliament or legislature, Nigeria has a National Assembly with two Houses.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the 24 of January 2014 1 released a time table for the 2015 General Elections Activities. The time table fixes the 14 th February 2015 as the date for the Presidential and National Assembly elections and 28 th February 2015 for the Gubernatorial and State Assembly Elections. Preparation for the February 2015 General Elections is amidst increasing concern of high levels of insecurity and violence in the election days and the days immediately after. The concerns are that the current security situation such as continued insurgents attacks in the North East, increased activities of militants and/or cult groups in the South South, incursion by Cattle Herdsmen openly armed with AK47 rifles in the South East, political killings and proliferation of Small Arms & Light Weapons (SALWs), would fuel an outbreak of violence.

  • MEN WITHOUT WOMEN: an ANALYSIS of the 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS in NIGERIA by Nse Etim Akpan Department of Political Science Federal University Wukari, P.M.B
    MEN WITHOUT WOMEN: AN ANALYSIS OF THE 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS IN NIGERIA By Nse Etim Akpan Department of Political Science Federal University Wukari, P.M.B. 1020, Wukari, Taraba State, Nigeria. Tel: +2348033379789, +2348056749519 E-mail:[email protected] Abstract Women do not often receive the support and mentoring they need to compete with their male counterparts in politics. Even voters do not fully appreciate the benefits of having a mix of men and women in government, often saying that women are over-ambitious when they aspire for any political position. As a result, there is currently a low representation of women at all levels of government in Nigeria. In the 2011 general election, female candidates fared poorly, with only 32 women elected to the national parliament out of 469 members, which is barely 8% representation. This paper examines the level of women participation in the just concluded 2015 general elections. It argues that women’s political involvement in that election was very low in spite of decades of struggle for gender equity and women’s empowerment. The paper equally identifies and discusses the problems face by women in their quest to participate in politics, examine the theoretical perspective of the discrimination and inequality suffered by women; and lastly suggest possible measures that could aid their political participation and empowerment. Introduction The 2015 general elections has just come and gone but the memories of the elections have continued to linger in the minds of many. For some, the elections brought fulfilled dreams as they were declared winners in the various contest while others have already geared up for litigation in the various election petition tribunals for losing the contest.
