Women and terror: a feminist approach to “Odún á Yako

The issue of women terrorism has been in existence for a long period of time. In the recent time, women enmancitipation is in place to put women in their rightful position. In this paper, we will examine the problems faced by the girl-child right from birth until she strifes to fulfil her destiny as a woman as it is expressed in the novel tittled “Odún Á Yako” written by Níkèé Adésànyà. This will help us to pinpoint the probems a girl-child faces in the society. The work will be based on feminist theory. The work will also show that women manumission is the only way a girl-child can attain her freedom in the society. The issue of gender disparity is a well known phenomenon in the society to the extent that writers are not silent on it which brought about the novel “Odún Á Yako”. Therefore, this paper proposes that the girl-child should not be seen as surbodinate to men, and they should be given the same opportunity with the boy child to realise their dreams and to fulfil their destiny.
