The
wife of influential yoruba monarch, Ooni of Ife, has said out of no
offense to anyone, she's not a fan of gender equality because she thinks
that limits women.
The Ooni and his Olori
Speaking at the just concluded Emerging Women’s Forum, in Maryland,
USA, wife of Ooni of Ife, Wuraola Otiti Zynab Obanor, has waded into
the much talked about gender equality bill and suggested the need to
ignore the bill as men and women cannot be equal.
Olori Zynab said out of no offence to anyone, she’s not a fan of
gender equality because she thinks that limits women, and categorically
stated that her husband, the Ooni, has his role to play and she has
hers.
“I am not a huge fan of gender equality. We can’t be equal, We cant be men. We have our roles to play here, a very pivotal one,” she said,
The queen further outlined the powerful roles women play and how
women should tap into their powers by exploring themselves in order to
reach extraordinary heights, as opposed to fighting for power with their
male counterparts.
“The modern pattern of feminism has succeeded in limiting women of the heights they could reach; gender equality is unrealistic.
“We can never be equal with men, we are here for a great
purpose, we have our roles to play we are powerful and we are a force of
nature.
“Relationships are suffering today, because women want to be
men. You want to be treated like a queen, but you don’t carry yourself
like a Queen,” her Majesty noted.
