Dieziani would not be harshly judged if she was a man – Chimamanda Adichie

#Nigeria
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, removed Nigerians for criticizing former oil minister Dieziani Alison-Madueke for allegations of fraud. According to her, Diezian's case will not be capitalized if she is a man because theft of money is the norm practiced by Nigerian politicians. While speaking at the University of Edinburgh, Chimamanda stated that the assumption that men were expected to steal and that women were like angels made it difficult for the former minister.
She said:

“We shouldn’t assume, that because a person is born a woman, that person is somehow is just one step lower than angel.

“I find it quite dehumanizing for women because what is means is that women cannot be judged on the same terms as men.
“I remember once a politician in Nigeria who was a woman had stolen money which is an exercise most Nigerian politicians are very adept at
“she was pilloride, I remember a journalist saying and she’s a woman.
“Somehow the assumption was it will be better if she was a man because then Nigerians would not judge her harshly since we expect men to steal.
“I think the idea of women being another specie of angel is bad for both women and men because it makes the standards uneven. I dream of a world in which women are seen as women where women are allowed to be many things.” Did You ❤ ❤ this post? DROP A C.O.M.M.E.N.T ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
