Paternity Fraud: Nigerian men are worried about the wrong things

The first time I learnt about paternity fraud was in a playful conversation with my mother. I was 10 years old and newly curious about resemblance. To my 10 year-old brain, my still evolving appearance held no resemblance to my father. Nor my mother either, although I could at least recognise parts of her in... Read More

The #SilhoutteChallenge gives us an opportunity to interrogate our gender bias

So much has been written about the inherent bias with which we judge the actions of people based solely on the gender at the receiving end of said judgement. Time and again however, we find ourselves back to it like it is second nature. This is a perfectly human weakness that rather than scorn should... Read More

Why do men want to make the ‘fear women’ phrase valid?

Women and girls in recent times have had a heavy rotation of attention channeled towards them. From fighting for their rights to calling out social injustices targeted at them, a lot of women are saying no to certain patriarchal prescriptions set against them. While this may appear to be the perfect timing for those who... Read More

It’s 2019 and Nigerian men still shame single women with Shiloh? Weird flex

Brethren, it’s the Year of Our Lord 2019 and Nigerian men have made me question yet again why I share the same gender with them. Shaming women for being autonomous with their bodies is so commonplace on Nigerian Misogyny Twitter, right down to women still unmarried and hence the usual sexist joke of saying ”Shiloh”...

The Thread: Here’s what Nigerian men are doing around the world

Nigerian men are travellers, explorers and entrepreneurs, and if that resulted in finding new planets and galaxies, the country will be better for it, and our public image will soar. Instead, what we are notorious for, apparently, is this: https://twitter.com/DeeTreble/status/927973076389769216 Not sure if this is a case of sowing wild oats or time and chance... Read More

[The Sexuality Blog] Grace Ogiehor-Enoma is fighting to keep Nigerian men in America from murdering their wives

Between 2006 and 2008, 10 successful Nigerian nurses were brutally murdered. They were shot, stabbed, beaten to death. These numbers might seem small, but among the Nigerian Association of Nigerian Nurses of North America (NANNNA) those numbers were only the tip of an iceberg that included hundreds of documented and undocumented cases of domestic violence,...

Opinion: Different ways Nigerian men are threatened by women

by Aniefiok Udoabasi I saw a post made by a lady here on facebook. It is a picture of a man and his wife at a public occasion. Lovely picture. Problem is that the poster questioned why the woman, knowing that her man is not tall, should wear high heel shoes which, to the poster,... Read More

The Thread: When Nigerian men see a nice bum, this is what they say

Black men- whether African or African American – are obsessed with big bums. This much is unarguable.

The Thread: Nigerian men are so badly behaved

@Nwanyi_abagana has an issue with Nigerian men, who think that an invitation to a woman’s house is an invitation to shag. Do see below: Every time you are meeting up with a guy, you have to mention that it is purely platonic. If not they will start trying to press bum bum — Moe (@Mochievous)... Read More

Oreoluwa Fakorede: For Nigerian men who don’t know the difference between hello and harassment [NEW VOICES]

by Oreoluwa Fakorede Civility is a choice. Maybe you’re charming, ethusiastically charming. Sometimes, your effusive charm will not be met with a commensurate response. You may not even receive any response to a greeting. It sucks, granted, but a bruised ego is no excuse to hurl insults. You cannot decide how a woman should respond... Read More

The Case for Prostitution

There’s been much ado about Amnesty International’s recent call to legalize prostitution, with Nigerian bodies reliably condemning it as another sign of Western moral decay. At first blush, it’s easy to be aghast at the very thought of such a proposition. Sex is the most impolite of topics, especially in these parts, and the fundamental... Read More

Sugabelly, inane feminism, and the question of violence – a counterpoint

Words by Akintoye Abdulraheem Yesterday, in an unprecedented display of animosity towards men, Sugabelly wrote an article in which she more or less demanded and wished for a Nigeria in which women were more violent towards men. Her article was fittingly titled ‘Why Aren’t Nigerian Women Bloodthirstier?’ Her narrative was straightforward. It is the standard... Read More
