Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing has gone on bended knees to beg Nigeria’s lawmakers.

She said: “I can only appeal to our lawmakers to please hold us, the womenfolk, in high esteem for the first time in this country. Let us be able to contribute to the matters that concern us.”

“Please, remember that we cannot be selfish with power, because there is nothing we can do if the interest of our children and husbands are not taken care of.”

“In other words, we are still going to be submissive to you even after empowering us in the society, but please give us a voice too; we need to be heard.”

“Vote overwhelmingly in support of the rejected gender bills when they are re-presented in the second batch of the constitution amendment process.”
