性别不仅是形成身份的空间，也是形成身份的空间。它也是一个社会分配有价值的资源和机会，如经济、社会、教育和政治资源和机会的主要标准。这一说法得到了大量证据的支持，这些证据表明世界上许多社会都存在基于性别的歧视和不平等。在尼日利亚，尽管努力改善妇女的社会经济和政治状况，但所取得的成果甚微，与预期完全相反。本文根据该国 1993 年、1999 年和 2003 年选举结果的数据，提出了有关尼日利亚政治中妇女边缘化的关键问题。该文件认为，尼日利亚妇女的政治权力被剥夺是多种因素综合作用的结果，这些因素限制了政治空间并排斥妇女。
Gender is not just a space within which identities are formed; it is also a major criterion for the distribution of valued resources and opportunities in a society, such as economic, social, educational and political resources and opportunities. This assertion is supported by a copious pile of evidence, which points to the existence of gender-based discriminations and inequalities in many societies of the world. In Nigeria, in spite of efforts to improve the socio-economic and political condition of women, very minimal result has been obtained quite contrary to expectation. Based on figures from the outcomes of the 1993, 1999 and 2003 elections in the country, this article raises critical issues about the marginalization of women in Nigerian politics. The paper contends that the political disempowerment of Nigerian women is an outcome a of complex of factors, which constricts the political space and excludes women.
