The Olori of Ife, Queen Wuraola-Zynab Ogunwusi, has stated that she believes men and women can never be equal.
She said this at the Emerging Women Forum on Thursday, June 16.
She explained why she didn’t believe in gender equality saying that each sex had their roles to play and that both roles are important.
“I am not a huge fan of gender equality.” she said.
“We can’t be equal, We can’t be men. We have our roles to play here, a very pivotal one. The modern pattern of feminism has succeeded in limiting women of the heights they could reach; gender equality is unrealistic. We can never be equal with men, we are here for a great purpose, we have our roles to play we are powerful and we are a force of nature.
“Relationships are suffering today, because women want to be men. You want to be treated like a queen, but you don’t carry yourself like a Queen. I want you all to remember as women, that we are powerful people. We are here for a greater purpose,” she concluded
