THE CHALLENGES OF GENDER RECONCILIATION IN NIGERIA

Abstract

In every study, there must be an existing problem and in every existing problem, there should not be silence because human beings are not built in silence but in words, in works, actions and reflections. The rate of gender crises in the families, workplaces, social structures, religious expressions, political structuring and general system of justice delivery are high, and there should not be silence but dialogue that leads to reconciliation. In Nigeria, lack of gender equity is highly affecting both gender, though it is assumed that it is affecting only women, without considering men, that Nigerian culture is one sided. It is against this backdrop that brought the idea of gender reconciliation because to continue to empower one gender is to dis-empower the other which is the creation of another problem for posterity. The study employs analysis method to examine critically the conceptual involvements and their implications for our subject. The study aimed at exposing the area that are still causing gender crises and how to reconcile them. The study therefore argues that gender complementarity should entail in real life to develop and sustain every sector in Nigeria.
