In this photo taken Friday, Feb. 15, 2019, Zainab Sulaiman Umar, 26, a candidate for the State House of Assembly in Kumbotso constituency, Kano state, speaks to the Associated Press at an activists office in Kano, northern Nigeria. Umar is among dozens of first-time female candidates in a country where the percentage of women in parliament is one of the lowest in the world, under 7 percent, and the idea of a female president brings a belly laugh from many men.
