Political participation is a voluntary act which encompasses wide range of political activities, including voting at election, contesting for political and party offices, attending political rallies, joining political parties and many more. Although, these political activities are considered to be "free zone" to all qualified citizens, especially in liberal democracies irrespective of disparities in wealth, education and gender. In Nigeria, Women represent about 50% of the population, in spite of this, their level of political participation and their representation is very low. Their political participation is much being largely noticed only at the level of voting and latent support. Men are found to have dominated the political arena to the point of almost excluding women, yet all groups (women inclusive) seek to influence dispensation of power and influence decision making in the society. The study used qualitative method that is secondary source; books, Journal, Newspapers and internet material to examine the place of Nigerian women in politics, the reasons for their marginalization and low level of political participation. It concludes that the force of discrimination against women notwithstanding, the future is bright for women to participate in politics for sustainable development in Nigeria.
