Former president Olusegun Obasanjo is of the belief that Nigerian women are more trustworthy when it comes to politics. He made this known while speaking at an event where he urged Nigerian women to get more involved in political activities. In his words; “No nation will become great when half of her population ends up only in the kitchen and ‘the other room’, or get disproportionately discriminated against in the higher echelon of corporate management and in governance.” 
Obasanjo continued; “All hindrances to free and compulsory girl-child education in Nigeria for the first nine years of formal school such as culture, religion and so on should be stopped. Child marriage should be made unlawful, girls must be able to receive formal education from primary to tertiary level. This gathering could not have come at a better time than now, when everyone is looking forward to the politics of 2019.”
