5 Ways To Remove The Gender Barrier To Entrepreneurship by Opinionated: 11:17am On Dec 19, 2018
Normally, being an entrepreneur has quite a lot of challenges. Entrepreneurial activity among women continues to attract attention in Nigeria and indeed Africa. However, despite obvious gains, women lag behind men in business ownership and economic independence in every continent. It is therefore important to remove the barriers stalling women entrepreneurship.

This said it is important to outline some of the challenges facing women who are entrepreneurs.

Family restriction

Women are expected to spend more time with their family members, especially on the African continent. They do not encourage women to travel extensively for exploiting business opportunities. Despite this, more and more women are evolving ways to maintain a work-home balance.

Lack of Finance

Family members do not encourage women entrepreneurs. They hesitate to invest money in the business venture initiated by women entrepreneurs. Bank and other Financial Institutions do not consider Middle-Class Women Entrepreneurs as proper applicants for setting up their projects and they are hesitant to provide financial assistance to unmarried women or girls as they are unsure as to who will repay the loan.

Lack of Education

Women are generally denied of higher education, especially in rural areas. Women are not allowed to enrich their knowledge in technical and research areas to introduce new products.

Unfavourable environment

Society is dominated by males. Many businessmen are not interested to have a business relationship with women entrepreneurs. Male generally do not encourage women entrepreneurs.

Affirmative action legislation

In this case, a law should be passed that a certain number of women should be on the board of any corporate company in the country. This will leave them with no choice than to appoint professional and entrepreneurial women to contribute to the growth of the company.

We Christians are actually managing to survive in 21st century. We know the times we are living in and the time is coming that Christians will be lawfully killed, in the Antichrist reign (New World Order).

Jesus is coming to put an end to the New World order and reserrect the Saints/righteous Christians that were killed.

The fact I'm telling you this should open you senses, if you were normal.

Definitely, things will get more and very very hostile for Christians but I know where it's all headed. But DO YOU KNOW, or CAN U UNDERSTAND?


There you have it. THE DEMISE OF CHRISTIANITY embarassed ---> DEMISE OF THE ABOMINABLE GENERATION ---> RESURRECTION OF CHRISTIANITY/THE SAINTS cheesy

All this talk simply because of the existence of feminism?
Since when did fighting for equality become wrong?
Guy, you are just a very insecure man. I'm pretty sure you're in your late forties or fifties. I wonder how your wife and daughters are coping. YOU are the one who needs to change. YOU are the one who should be preached to. You're a religious extremist and that's not a good thing. Stop playing God man. Your gospel is trash. Preach it to no one.

I'm still very young and single. Just another sign to show how wrong you are about everything you've said.

Moreover, those things i said was because you asked 'how have you managed to survive 21st century", not because of existence of feminism
You're just misfiring crazily. Chai.

For the record, you're telling me about 21st century but I've told you about beyond-21st century. So bookmark your hater and watch it unfold.

Well, you're entitled to your opinions and beliefs. I'm not a hater
though. Also, I'm a Christian too. I realized I've been wasting my time arguing with you. I mean, one little stone in pot of rice can't spoil the whole food, can it? The world will never go back to what it used to be, a prison for women. Nothing you'd say or do will change that. You'd better start adjusting.If only... oh, if only there was a time machine to take you back in time...

You're a new-age Christian in the same category as homosexual christians/pastors.

Quote me, "The world" will "go back" to the purest form of righteousness when Christ rules the Earth in the coming Millennium.

Any human will be utterly ashamed to say "I'm a feminist" or "I'm transgender/homosexual” in this new generation of people.

So change or you'd pass away to everlasting damnation with this perverse generation. Start reading the Bible more often. Read Revelation chapter 21 over and over again. Let it sink in. I have. "Christian"
