Abstract:
The paper examines the activities of women to the growth of the democratic processes and their involvement in the political governance of Nigeria. It further investigates how women have been short changed overtime despite their struggles within the polity. The paper relies on both primary and secondary sources. The primary sources were based on oral interviews and archival materials. Secondary sources on the other hand, included literature such as books and newspapers. The oral interviews were recorded and transcribed for analysis. The documentary data were subjected to internal and external criticism for authentication and then to textual and contextual analysis. The researchers find out that the female gender in Nigeria have been under played and until they get them involved in politics, Nigeria will continue to operate in a weaker posture.
