Arguments as to the status of women in political, economic, social and religious spheres of life have dominated contemporary narratives and had given birth to different schools of thought all in attempt to nip in the bud, the growing consequences of this social construct. There have been psychological and emotional feelings of distrust, marginalization and oppression echoed by the female gender against the male gender. The female gender nursed some sense of inferiority and uniqueness in her conducts, interaction and relationship with the male gender. The male carries itself as the alter ego, and feels high-level superiority and in command of the ‘estates’. This x-rayed circumstance has given rise to feminism and its varying shades, all geared towards the protection and preservation of the rights of women, and advancing for equality in all respects. Cologenderism which seeks to balance the arguments of both sexes by arguing that both sexes can marginalize and be marginalized, oppress and be oppressed, subjugate and be subjugated depending on statistical structuring in a particular circumstance, in this context, posits that equality contest or demand between sexes should not be categorized as gift or privileges. This paper using analytical, rational, expository and critical methods, argues that equality is a right for both sexes and, therefore, should be contested and struggled for with consistency and available mental talents until it is achieved.

Given the fact that democracy as a system and form of governance which allows for even participation, freedom of expression, rule of law and other indices attached thereto, had awaken the consciousness of humanity from all over the world to key into this form of leadership due to its uncommon benefits. Africa her ‘third world cousins’ seemed to have remained in a slumbering position and have refused to wake up and wear the toga of democratic principles as acts displayed by leaders lacked democratic character. This paper argues that democratic dividends and flavour can be felt and directly impacted on the citizens of Africa especially Nigeria, if adequate political socialization, culturalization and consciousness are fused as part of her cultural education. This new consciousness and democratic mindset will arguably make leaders and the led see each other as an inclusive indispensable part of the whole. It will also eliminate unwantom suspicion, rancour, ethnic bigotry, exclusion and hegemonic display of power and more so, leadership may not be tenured but anchored on performance and service delivery. The paper believes that with a political consciousness, socialization and high sense of political culture, leadership becomes service to the humanity and not business enterprise. Hence leaders that performed optimally may continue to serve the people if they so desire. This paper adopts critical, analytical and expository methods.
