This is a very interesting article from the Christian Science Monitor highlighting the increasingly prominent role that women are playing in Nigeria’s society. It poses some interesting questions. Are our Nigerian ladies less prone to corruption than the men? Are they better role models and leaders?

Some interesting points there, and the excellent achievements of Nigerian women such as Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Dora Ezekwesili, and Dora Akunyili might be cases in point..
