How Are Women Treated In Nigeria? by danwilliams4u(m): 11:08am On Feb 07, 2018
The answers here paint a rosy picture. But all that is a big fat lie.

Nigerian women are treated like TRASH.

Nigerian women have to live in a society where they are treated as second class citizens.

No matter what you have achieved, people are going to question when you are going to get married because that's apparently all you're good for.

As a woman, if you have to report a case to the police, they will ask you to call your husband/brother/father or boyfriend because apparently you as an adult woman, you can't be trusted to report something that happened to you. How are you going to report domestic abuse to the same police asking you to come with your husband? Even if you did, you would be told “it's a family matter”.

Let me ask those painting a picture of a life they know nothing about some questions. Do you even know what the average Nigerian woman faces?

What about people blaming you for the crash of your marriage? Not your husband, you.

What about being blamed for your husband hitting you? And when you open up to talk about it, you are blamed some more.

What about servicemen asking for your husband, boyfriend, father or brother when things need to be repaired in your house?

What about people blaming you for sexual assaults? Not your attacker, you. Telling you things like “why did you wear that?”, “It's your fault for tempting him” and many more.

What about male compatriots telling you to shut up because you're a woman & shouldn't be talking where men are?

What about getting married off before you're ready? Getting pulled out of school to become a wife? Getting VVF while giving birth?

What about your husband treating you like a second class human being because you had the audacity to give birth via C-section?

What about being sexually assaulted and harassed with your attacker telling you that you ought to be pleased because you're beautiful?

What about being treated like you don't matter because you're female and would end up bearing another man's surname? Being educated last because your brother(s) are more useful to the family than you are?

What about everyone believing that every material thing you have acquired is as a result of you laying on your back & opening your legs for it?

What about being slut shamed, single shamed because you're a woman who wouldn't conform to the nonsense patriarchial nature of your society?

What about men calling you a “man hater” because you dare to demand better treatment for yourself and other women?

What about men raping women, female children as young as 2/3 years old?

What about you Nigerian men labelling any woman or girl who refuses your advances, a prostitute aka ashewo?

What about believing all a woman is good for is cooking your food & bearing your children?

Before you come here [right][/right]and preach what you don't know, ask your sisters, mothers and aunts. They will tell you because your privilege blinds you to most of it.

What about you coming out as a female that you are and never have to disguise as a male? That aside OP, we world is created and designed in an orderly manner and most things that wants to equate women to men if done would cause a lot of imbalance. N. B:this isnt an approval that women are less human or should be treated as such. Just know your place abd act accordingly. My 1kobo tho

when i was in delta state, i had a friend who was far older than me and was married to a beautiful lady. he did everything he could for this woman, supported her finacially and even started a business for her.
unfortunately the man was dischared from the army and was no longer finacially competent. his beautiful angel decided to show her true colours; she cheated publicly with every guy she found desirable, insulted the man and even stayed away from home for days......

so pls op do you know what the average nigeria man go through from women alone?

Chaii see the way Op killed my menist arguments grin

Normally I'd argue cause it's gender related
But no
Pure facts, it's when white women talk like this I get offended.(Their privilege is at an all time high)
Our Nigerian women deserve better tbh... We treat them very unfairly.

If you present yourself as TRASH you will be treated as one, SELF-ESTEEM matters Ladies always know you are a unique creature and you deserve nothing less than what you are. Also put effort in developing yourself don't be a liability in relationships, a wise woman builds her home according to the book of proverbs

Like how they want to be treated...the last part, if you dress like an "exotic service provider" please be prepared to be addressed as one.

Servicemen asking for your boyfriend or husband... if no be you call dem come, aunty face your front and call ya man.

I treat my women with respect and they reciprocate; if you haven't sampled all 71,345,488 of us men in Nigeria please shut the fuçk up.

women are used as sex objects. They don't have much values in the eyes of men aside satisfying their sex huge, giving birth to children, taking care of the children while growing up and looking after the house.


And after these effort by housewives, some men will still have the Gods to raise hand to beat their wife.

it just so saddening and disheartening!

Is that all you have to say to counter the points? Cheating is wrong but please let's not act like its now the 'norm' for married women to be cheated on. We have now been groomed to accept that our husbands will cheat on us, but it doesn't mean the love is not there. So if that's all you can say to counter those points, then its clear that something is wrong somewhere.

the OP's question is not straight foward.. how would he ask "how are women treated?" and answer the question with "how do 'some' men treat women?"
i believe that women are their worst enemy to themselves and to one another.. from the way the gossip about another, to the way they tarnish another's reputation in public.. to the way they trash talk n compare themselves to unimportant things.
if women really want to ask the question @OP's post, then it should be "how do we women treat ourselves" before generalizing and pointing it towards men.
they should do that and i'd gladly call for a coalition of both menist and feminist individuals so as to solve any algebraic issue that may still come up.

Nonsense of the highest order

What you wrote is extremely one sided and it's meant to gather support from ladies or pity from men(a sort of emotional blackmail). Most of the issues you raised are also not peculiar to Nigerian ladies

The world is not fair for both sexes, some of things you mentioned are going on in even some of the most advanced of societies, it is not only Nigeria.

Just recently, a gymnastics coach in united states was convicted and sentenced to three life sentences for assaulting young ladies over a period of time. Some of those ladies reported him in the past, but no one took them seriously

The current united states president, Donald Eugene Trump has a number of sexual assault cases against him, the cases his lawyers are working overtime to prevent from going to the court. Not to mention the level of slut shamming Jennifer Lewinsky (a former Bill Clinton's staff ) got for exposing an affair between Bill Clinton and herself in the 90s.

So stop this nonsense about how terrible Nigerian women have it in life already, it is a global phenomenon.

Marriage is a personal choice, that a particular lady feels the pressure to marry is no one's problem/ business

or

Don't Nigerian men equally feel the pressure to marry at a certain stage in life angry

Some of the ladies in the west also feel the pressure to marry, is that not how our yahoo boys manage to scam some of them, hun angry

In fact, Nigerian women have certain advantages that women around the globe don't necessarily have I.e. sitting around after college waiting for a fool( a rich guy) to come pay their b(p)ride price


Now! what about the victimization Nigerian men have to go through everyday, hun angry

>The insults broke guys go through everyday at the hands of sometimes equally broke ladies

>What about the refusal to believe that men can also be sexually assaulted in Nigeria

And lots more that the Nigeria men suffer

angry angry

Yeah good women are treated unfairly by men but much of it has to do with the way the men were raised. You can't expect a man who wasnt taught how to treat a woman to all of a sudden develop such traits when he becomes of age.

I could site an example where a dude Mum was woken from her sleep to go pound yam at 11pm and the mum got up to go do it, the boy protested that it was late that why should he not have something else to eat and the father gave him a hevty slap. I then asked the chap if he was going to do so to his wife, he said why not? That his own mother endured it, why shouldn't his wife do so too? That was the least of what I heard from him and his family.

That a man will treat a woman in a right way is heavily dependent on the sort of mother he had and how influential she was in the making of him to become a man. Ask most of these dudes who treat women like trash the sort of mother they had and the dynamics in their family. You will find the answers to your question.
