Are Nigerian women really free?

Time and time again the question as to whether feminism is still needed arises.Most people think that it has done its work and anything from this point is too radical and therefore unnecessary.Well for a country like America,maybe.Nigeria however is a different ball game.We seem to think that as long as women can vote and work then there is no need for equality.That the things we see everyday from the neighbor next door getting beat up by her husband to the women getting slapped by her "in-laws" are normal,part of our culture in fact.that the women has no use except to bear children.Well to answer my question,NO women in Nigeria are not liberated they are not truly free.If they were,issues like child marriage would not need to be legislated upon in the senate.They work and they earn money but underneath is this underlying factor that you can only be the neck and that's as far as you can go.Their ambitions are cut short by child bearing and home management and they are told to be happy that they have a home and a husband to take care off.Now don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with being a home maker,But freedom is not about what you do its about choice,That you consciously make the decision to be who ever you want to be without fear of being ridiculed by society or being looked down upon.And that my friend is what women in Nigerian don't have.They tell you this is what you are supposed to be and if you do not conform you are spoilt or wayward.Should you be "lucky" enough to get married they have already defined the roles you would play and when you try to follow a different path with your partner your "in-laws" will step in and say you want to make their son a "women wrapper".This and MANY more factors contribute to why i think that women in Nigeria are not free.
