Why Are Female Atheist Scarce In Nigeria? by donnffd(op): 10:17pm On Oct 19, 2015
I have never met a female Nigerian atheist online or offline, which got me thinking whether they are scared of coming out or what, or are nigerian ladies not logical thinkers?,it could also be that I am just unlucky... I am an agnostic by the way

Its Because they carry heavier emotional load and always look for something supernatural to hope on...that why one woman can be a pegan, christian, and a Muslim at the same time...

The religious groups are currently the strongest social networks in Nigeria, sadly.

If we can find a way to create alternate avenues of social interaction (e.g. the Ikoyi Club in Lagos) then we can break the stranglehold that these religious crooks have on some of the more rational women in Nigerian society.

You will date who angry you deh crase?? undecided na to use blow kill you be that angry




Anyway to your question, we all know how intolerant, fanatical, sheepish, violence tendency, social discrimination the society possess for people who identify to not adhere to the religion of the society talk more of agreeing not to believe in personal Gods.

This is Africa, we know the idiotic moral skyscraper this chauvinistic society places the women which sometime even feels and takes a misogynistic tilt.

So i think are the deciding factors in the not so open display of their atheistic stance in a society as sheepish, sadly ignorant, discriminative, chauvinistic, superstitious and violence prone like ours.

There are many of such brave girls though i know quite a lot..

Not just the girls even others, people tend to be secretive of their stance because this society poses a serious threat for someone with much drastic ideology. .

But their are more atheists/agnostics in Nigeria than we may guess..

Women are generally more religious than men, if you go to churches or prayer houses, you'll see it for yourself. When a couple can't have children, the women spend time running from one spiritual help to another, most men don't bother about it. However there are a few on here, I can't remember their monikers but I am here and I know of freecocoa. There's a mz-something too.


Krystalzkris, K9brunt, rainess and many others. . . .

wow nana its been a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time...missed you

Please where in the cosmos did you get this ideology from?

@op johny and some others have said it all. Too much discrimination esp. The way some of the ladies reason. Say anything and you are looked down upon like someone with no values or something.like believing in God or being religious makes you more moral than others. undecided


Some of the guys are more willing to listen than the ladies. So its sometimes it's just better to keep your own view to yourself unless when necessary.

Haha I agree completely bruv. I doubt if a woman can be genuinely atheist in this part of the world. It would be too polarizing and her emotional makeup just couldn't deal with the solitude, of sorts.
Perhaps if she had an atheist for a partner...
