Ex-minister Solomon Dalung addresses challenges facing Nigerian men. Photo credits: Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Barrister Solomon DalungSource: Facebook”Justice demands we’ve ministry of men affairs”I have a neighbor here in Abuja who is an orphan, now in his late 70s. He used all his money to train his children and support his family. They are well established, and his wife is now traveling, going on omugwo from Amsterdam to China to America, visiting their children. Meanwhile, the man is left here in Abuja; he doesnt have money anymore because everything he worked for in his life, he invested in the family. Each time his wife returns, she comes back with a Bible and wine as gifts for him. That is the average situation of a Nigerian man, yet allegations of failure are constantly lumped on us as being responsible. When you mentioned the idea of a Ministry of Men Affairs, I was pleased, as I have been an advocate for it. We need a Ministry of Men Affairs because theres no ministry exclusively for men. Just because a man is the President of Nigeria doesnt mean he is the representative of the male gender; he is just a male, just like you have women in positions. I think justice demands that we should give more attention to our men.Men do not live as long. If you go to the church, youll see a committee of widows, but you wont find a committee of widowers. Most men are gone between 50 to 60 years, and nobody is concerned about them. ‘Why I am critical of Tinubu’ – Dalung
