In what could be a rather disturbing suggestion, a former member of the Senate, who represented Adamawa in the National Assembly, Folashade Grace Bent, has said that women should be given the opportunity to dialogue with the Boko Haram sect, saying such would certainly yield a lasting result.
The former senator was speaking at a dinner and award night, organised by the Global Association of Female Attorneys (GAFA), held in Abuja, last Thursday, she stated that the 35 per cent slot given to women in the political sector was not enough, adding that the strength of women should not be underrated when it came to bringing about peace in any situation, given the potential and wisdom God had endowed them with.
Bent also added that more slots should be given to women in order for them to discharge their God-given potential, which invariably would bring unprecedented development to the nation. Citing the example of Liberia where a woman is the president, Mrs Bent stated that the Mrs Johnson Sir Leaf had been able to use the power of a woman to bring to an end the persisting war that had been raging in the country.
She, however, called on the womenfolk not to allow themselves to be relegated to the background, adding that they should stand up for their rights in every sphere of life. Although, she commended President Goodluck Jonathan for the inclusion of women in his cabinet, she said that the President could do more.

other women are using their wisdom to make peace and to make things right in their nation as she stated, but she wants her own wisdom to make the government to know that the 35 percent been giving to the women delegate is not enough and the government should add to the 35 percent before they bring out their hidden wisdom to make peace and make things right, thief....!!! thunder fire this greedy and foolish woman. i no blame her. i blame the millipede president called Goodluck for mixing up all this women with men in his Cabinet. during General Abacha and Obasanjo regime, which of all this women were able to make mouth..? she should not worry, it is when i give women the chance that is when they can be the head of my department. matcheeeeeew... nonsense woman.
