The Nigerian society is one that have gratified men dominance in all phase. This is further helped by the fact that most traditions relegates women to lesser beings thus, a restriction to explore their full potential. This cry-able fate did not just hinder the woman-fold from making exploits, but by extension has robbed the world of most of what the female gender has to offer. These all are true owing to the patriarchal society we live in.

Patriarchy originally defined puts regards to men (father) as the head of the family but this concept have been further stretchered into other sphere of life thus putting the men as the head in all cases. This ideology now means that women will have to fight much more than their male counterpart in order to be eligible for the same leadership position; sometimes requiring them to go against their standards.
