    "Empowering women is smart economics." She's renowned as the co-founder of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. Now, @obyezeks is a presidential candidate in Nigeria, so our women's affairs correspondent @ony_law asked what she will do for women if she becomes president.pic.twitter.com/fLfcD8ivdt

        I haven't watched the video yet but it's baffling that the question highlighted is what she will do for women if elected. If elected, she becomes President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Every Nigerian, irrespective of gender, age or tribe have to be present in d narrative

        Will she only the women president or Nigeria's president if elected? The quesrion to me would've been, what will she do for Nigerians & Nigeria?

        It is unfortunate that BBC have to limit Oby to answer questions about women only . Male, female, young and old have suffered in the hands of the ruling class. Economy is bad, insecurities, serious ethnic division are key issues needed to be discussed.

        Honestly Oby would make a fantastic president but are people in the Senate & representative part of party or share the same ideology as her? To me o vote them all out or wipe them all out for things to get better or move forward in this country!

        In as much as I love your strengths and the fearless fight you put up. Sincerely, are you sure you want to be president of Nigeria in this coming election. If yes, you really have a lot of work to do.

        I have a daughter & Dr Oby is working tirelessly to ensure Nigeria is safe, & prosperous for the girl child & women of Nigeria. I love my wife & my daughter so I love & respect the person who speaks for them. Dr Oby is the biggest inspiration to the Nigerian woman & Girl.

        ...this will be very laudable and generally attractive after reaching a threshold of all gender empowerment in a developing economy.
