How can a group of women go and meet working people and start shouting don't touch us, that's an insult of the highest order, it's like telling the men they're rapist, women and the stupid things they do.

Sorry but I think no one has told you this.. you are mumu of the highest order!

CaesarDon:
This has got to be the dumbest protest ever!!!

What do this dimwitted lots aim to achieve, trying to incite people going about their businesses, to think they were chanting "Yaba boys stop touching us"

And those guys were just jesting, it's like going to the a bar and chanting "drunkards leave our daughters alone"

Too much holywood has caused this,

Quite frankky I actually wouldnt touch this not so good looking ladies even if I'm paid to.

A fool you are.. you think you are better than them? You are a fool %100

Baddiezz:
Lol I see my cloth customer up there oh.

Lol

I swear

Smadeinc:
I don't have what to comment on the topic but look at this picture....so so funny

Kingspin:
This is Nigeria where nothing works from A-Z.

Where i am if you touch a woman without her consent you paid 1million Naria equivalent and further face jail term.

There is no respect for women in Nigeria.
What a lawless country from the top to bottom.

A zoo in totality!! With many zombies inside. See their comments

Ogirheema:
Nigerian (female) feminists are androphobes.

Like, they don't know what feminism entails.

It hurts to the bone when they hurl insults at men all in the name of campaign.

Chimamanda is a sensible one though.

Nah you only see her as sensible because she is rich.. Nigerians you only worship money.. Stfu!!

So all d discount wey dem dey get after touching na for wetin??

Sunnymatey:
if so, women will be begging men to touch them in Nigeria. But how comes all our women married to wealthy men in Nigeria are so humble and almost voiceless.

Only the hungry or single ones are engaging in 'Notice me' mission.

#Frustration loading

Because most Nigerian he goats only messes with a nobody.. go and touch E-money's wife and end up in prison if you ever see her in your life

Just look at their comments....

They don't need it. Keep your dirty hands and discount to your fucking self!

Of all the places to take your march to its yaba market not like most of.them are not aware of such things happening there , i wont be suprised if the march was taken there on purpose just so this could happen and use it to get sympathy/ attention from the media and populace

Most Nigerian men are a disgrace to education.. no single respect. You are giving discount..thunder fire that your mouth and discount you are giving. Respect another human being for god's sake and behave like a human for once.. most of you guys are just hopeless especially all these kids on NL

dollarsplenty:
OK. you too should show yourselves some respect

Brainwashed mumu.. think ewu think

NoToPile:
You need to go to Yaba to know how these people harass women, their own get grade. The worst I ve seen in any market in Lagos.
If you like wear mary Amaka you will still be harassed, you cant even pass peacefully touching and dragging you.

Been like that for years, until someone sues one of them for harassment before they know its wrong.

Just one example thats all

All these nonsense will stop.

I have not been to yaba and I don't know much about the touching but as for dragging customers, Ibo traders do that in all market to male or female, it's really annoying tho

LisaAnne:
bend down select crew,you no shame to talk am

She's probably typing from a Blackberry 1995. Fakers everywhere like anyone cares!

Justiceotuya:
From the reply on this thread i can see that most of the "educated" men on this platform is just as entitled as those yaba traders... its not because they are illiterates, its because it is a norm that has been imbibed in our senseless patriarchy system.

You don't know how this ladies are harassed until you have been to a market and see the names they call these girls. if the table were turned. you go to a market and the traders are trying to touch your privates, abuse you if you do not buy with them and literally drag you between themselves to come buy with them.

Many ladies a traumatized and do not want to go to the market unless with an escort. guys we need to rethink this. its not even about feminism, its about respecting your personal space

A human finally speaks.

It is well known that igbo traders hustle hard, and they are notorious for harassing everyone. It's so terrible. If you try to board buses to the east, they will nearly tear you apart, as a guy you can resist with force and threatened but as a lady you are totally at their mercy. They have cut many ladies bags and mess up their belongings.
Like 15 yrs ago, my sister was shot in the arm on her way to Lagos after finishing NYSC, she still had pellets in her arm and bandages, while passing thru oshodi, nah so one idiot dragged her back on that arm to come and enter motor, when we were not even travelling, she screamed, I was so angry that I was shaking, it was my sister that pacified me and told me to let go, possibly because that is the way they all behave. I support this movement but they should not engage these idiots, because they are unreasoning animals, they should get NGOs and possibly government agencies to engage their market leaderships, and let them know anyone doing this will lose his market space.
That will curb the menace.

IS IT NOT YABA? what do you expect, lots of loose mental patients

I think NL is full of loose mental patients too. I weep for my country.

Yaba boyz have been like that since forever. Seems they pass it from generation to generation

What makes yaba the market not to take it to. It's because it's the worst of all, maybe not as bad as some parks. But it is mostly an igbo trader things, and it's just plain wrong. The health risk is even enormous, with Lassa fever, Ebola and the recent yellow fever that killed people in some states, then some unwashed idiot will be pulling you up and down.

Its a good thing someone is starting this awareness. Those traders can be so uncivilized. The campaigner should av gone with police escorts cos most of those traders are sex predators
The irony is that those skimpy dresses ladies wear are sold by these same traders but when they see them wearing it they start assaulting them. Some even to the point of pulling off their dresses. Those doing such, if its in the night or a secludeded area, they can rape a lady.

braine:
Even tho this is a good cause, the delivery doesn't seen to be right. You don't expect those mostly uneducated traders to take you seriously.

Now,that's the problem.Nigerian Govt will not make education free from primary school to secondary school so as to give good foundation to everyone.This country needs total cleansing everywhere.

i am not justifying the actions of the guys in the market but i feel this ladies knew what to expect , such would likely happen if its taken to ladipo market , why didnt they take it to market mostly dominated by women like oyingbo , mushin market but rather took it to a male dominated market

They should ave create awareness first by stating at home before moving to a more crowded place.

After all everything we do begins at home.

I know some girls will not be happy with this so call don't touch campaign. Cos they want to be touch.

The protesters got it wrong... Really wrong... Some people just want to be Mary slessor over night... Ehehehehe

The first thing you do is to meet the market heads... Have a meeting with them, educate them,...

They will inturn educate their people...

And after a while you can carry your ply card to announce.

Simple PR!

Arrest some of them

Make an example

The rest will re-calibrate

SKhanmi:
Smh,Anyway it's the pioneers of any movement that gets it rough. It's just plain stupidity trying out oyinbo trends in a country where the law doesn't even favour you as a normal citizen. Imagine LGBTs parading oshodi,boys would just look them waka abi? Not to mention that less than 2% of them really know the true form of feminism. Especially the nonsense displayed about on NL

Bcus they aren't laws to give them support doesn't mean u guys sud now derive pleasure in it. What is bad is bad.U guys don't own them. They deserved to be respected. Thats why the ashawo's are there. Even, you won't be allowed to touch a stripper in a strip club. So, stop this incessant attitude.

But sorry if I am ignorant ooo...this market touchings that they keep talking as if it is aimed at women or something sexual...I have bn to yaba many times...these guys just wanna make a sale...they drag every customer(male or female) say anything to catch attention no matter how lewd and they do so to both gender...the only diff is that men joke and laugh over it...buy what they need to buy and check out..while some women turn it to rape allegation...

Sarang:


Nah you only see her as sensible because she is rich.. Nigerians you only worship money.. Stfu!!

Lol, I no kon see am like that ooo.

Oga how can they take to a market dominated by women. Are people being harassed in oyingbo? What will it achieve, is it for the oyingbo women to go and tell their husbands at home to stop harassing women or what exactly will they achieve.

xendra:
as an idiot yourself (proven by this comment ) you have no right to call anyone stupid.

You are a crude misandrist! It's written all over your profile. Your misandry even extends to God himself via your profile picture by calling him a liar! You are totally irredeemable!! I pity the unfortunate man that ends up with you
