Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi has written an open letter women. He told women not to allow patriarchy mess up their belief in themselves, added that it is really sad to see that 99% of applications are from men and when women apply, they are mostly the best.
Bisi Alimi concluded his open letter by telling Nigerian women that their place is in the office making money, and not in the kitchen making dinner.
He wrote;
Dear Nigerian women, I am writing to you as an employer, pls be bold, be assertive. Apply for jobs, apply for training opportunities, put yourself out there. It is really sad to see that 99% of applications are from men and when women apply, they are mostly the best.
These men apply for jobs not because they are good, sometimes they dont even know what they are applying for. They mostly apply for these jobs cos they are men and they can.
