Should Nigeria reserve special seats for women in the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly?The ongoing debate around the 2025 Constitution Amendment Bill is heating up — and Adaora Onychere, renowned broadcast journalist and gender advocate, believes it’s a critical step toward true gender inclusion and political representation.The proposed amendment seeks to create 37 new Senate seats—one for each state and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)—and 37 additional House of Representatives seats exclusively for women.Adaora Onychere explains why this move is essential to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy, bring diverse perspectives to leadership, and ensure that women’s voices help shape national policies.Supporting the motion, House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu has introduced a bill for seat reservation for women, saying that “Democracy thrives not merely through elections but through inclusion.”Join this important conversation on The Volume Pod, hosted by FemiDlive, as we unpack what reserved seats for women could mean for Nigeria’s political future and how inclusive leadership can redefine governance.👉 Subscribe, like, and share to stay updated on Nigeria’s democratic reforms and gender equality movement.

The real political structure is not godfathers or offices — it is the PVC and the people’s will.2. Opposition is not noise-making; it is the heartbeat of democracy.3. A government that fears criticism fears the people.4. INEC has reduced itself to a toothless bulldog, serving government instead of democracy.5. Without strong opposition, democracy collapses into dictatorship.6. Coalition politics fails when selfish ambition outweighs the people’s interest.7. No President has the power to suspend a governor or assembly. Only the people can.8. We don’t have true local government elections in Nigeria — what we have is state-sponsored fraud.9. Economic growth that doesn’t reduce hunger is simply propaganda.10.
