Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1 --> FINAL CHOICE (edit the women and politics page and link it in here)

 * Article title: Women in Nigeria ( Women in Nigeria)
 * Article Evaluation:
 * I would say this article covers a lot of ground when it comes to gender roles in Nigeria. I'm especially intrigued by the line 'many Nigerian cultures see women solely as mothers, sisters, daughters and wives" which right off the bat shows the gender inequality. There is a section that is about politics that looks like it needs some filling out. The article also says that it is missing sources. There are many cited sources and I believe it covers one of Wiki's equity gaps. Of the articles I found, I think this one is the front runner.

Option 2

 * Article title: Gender inequality in Nigeria
 * Article Evaluation: This article has far less information. It discusses feminist movements. It looks like it could use more information and maybe a section about present day happenings. Not much happening on the talk page.
 * Sources:
 * https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/2/nigerian-women-protest-parliament-rejection-of-pro-equality-bills - really interested in this because its so recent
 * https://www.thecable.ng/the-brazen-legalization-of-gender-inequality-in-nigeria - not the most reliable but present day issues
 * https://www.voanews.com/a/africa_pandemic-widens-gender-inequality-nigerian-education/6199941.html - pandemic effects

Option 3

 * Article title: Female empowerment in Nigeria
 * Article Evaluation: I looked at the talk page and this article is called "Mid-importance wiki loves women article." It had a C-rating for quality, probably meaning that this article could use some help. I'm thinking this page could use some connections to feminist groups in Nigeria. It could definitely use more sources when it comes to women in government.
 * Sources:
 * Mostly same as option 1
