There Are Women and There Are Women
I just watched Dr. Jumoke Oduwole being interviewed about her job and agenda for the new year on Arise Television, and I was amazed. For those who may not know Jumoke, she is the Special Adviser on Ease of Doing Business. She was inherited by the Tinubu administration from the Buhari administration. You need to see her seriousness, the mastery of her duties, and her razor-sharp communication.
I am holding her up tonight to tell those men who have been gloating and rubbishing the women in government because of the recent heist by some women. They didn’t do what they did because they were women. It is because of who they are. There are as many men of graft as there are women of easy virtues in the governments of Nigeria.
Let no one judge women by the activities of the ones making daily visits to EFCC to explain their proclivity for humongous theft but by the diligence of Jumoke Oduwoles, whose seriousness, mental acuity, and honesty of purpose I can attest to. There are a thousand and one Nigerian women professionals, even politicians, who, if given an assignment, will carry it out to the glory of their sex and of humanity.
When you appoint an osere (player) into a serious position, the outcome you get is an osere outcome. Chief Obafemi Awolowo labeled such women OSERE. He once decried them in one of his powerful speeches and strongly warned his lieutenants to hold them at arm’s length. It is interesting to know that Awo will not even be comfortable sharing the same airplane with such women.
On one of his campaign trips, he ordered one of his men who brought an Osere woman onboard of campaign aircraft to deboard with his human cargo.
