Northern Nigerian women are not 50% of Nigeria's population but okay. And I am not discounting their lives. I am saying that while their issues are very real, they are not the same issues that the rest of Nigerian women face.

No, Amnesty International is telling the truth. But they are making the same mistake you are making.

Oh, and Northern Nigerian states are also governed by Sharia Law, where there are such wonderful legal gems as There have to be Four witnesses to the rape of a woman for it to actually be rape, and women get stoned to death for Adultery.

Forced Marriage = Northern Nigeria. The rest of Nigerian women marry whoever the fuck they want.

You are so annoying and clueless. You think because you read something on a government website it must be true.

Because she needs to actually be able to relate to the women she's supposed to be helping, and Northern Nigerian women would be extremely distrustful of a Christian or Southern Nigerian Minister for Women's Affairs. But okay

HAJIYA = Woman who has gone on HAJJ i.e. Pilgrimage to Mecca. i.e. MUSLIM WOMAN!!!

No I'm not, but you seem to be selling GLOOM and DOOM. Sorry that the our lives as Nigerian women don't fit your Poor Africa narrative. Too bad but Nigerian women's lives are just as awesome as American women's if not more awesome.

Are you INSANE? Do you realise that the ONLY reason "Women in Nigeria have 59% literacy" is because NORTHERN NIGERIA is INCLUDED in that figure? Southern Nigerian women have almost 90% literacy. And have PLENTY of choice in their personal life. So 10 states have imposed Islamic law. TEN!! Do you realise there are…

I'm pretty sure of this as well, but I'm also pretty sure that the most significant trends of Korean beauty practices and plastic surgery nowadays emphasize strongly De-Ethnicising by removing features that are known to be traditionally Asian / Korean such as rounder faces (Jawbone surgery to give you a V-Line aka a…

Oh and not to mention that I am a NIGERIAN WOMAN. And a few years ago I was A NIGERIAN GIRL.

Haha right because from a few online news posts you know more about Nigeria than me a NIGERIAN who WAS BORN in Nigeria, who GREW UP in Nigeria, and WHO LIVES in Nigeria.

In A FEW PARTS of Nigeria. Fixed it for you. Most Nigerian women are very independent and well loved by their families.

Erm, Boko Haram already HAS invaded the capital. First the Nyanya bombings, which can be argued don't count because Nyanya = low class Abuja people only, but then EMAB GOT BOMBED! EVERYONE in Abuja goes to Emab, poor people, RICH people, UPPER CLASS people. Emab got their attention, because the chances of some…

No it does not. You don't live there and you don't know what you are talking about.

please shut up. You don't know what you are talking about. I'm Nigerian and I live in Nigeria. It is NOT awful you dumbass douchebag.

You need to make a correction. BORNO IS NOT THE CAPITAL OF NIGERIA. Borno is a far northern state. The capital of Nigeria is ABUJA which is nowhere close to Borno.

Even full nudity with genitals showing, so what? Come on, it's a kid. People are not supposed to be getting their rocks off to kids genitals anyway.

Many public boarding schools in Nigeria require the students to shower outside. The result is massive crowds of naked boys and girls showering in BROAD DAYLIGHT outside with buckets. Ask any Nigerian who grew up in Nigeria. We all went to boarding school. Unless you went to a Private boarding school in Nigeria, the…

I don't know about Ghana or India. I cannot speak for those countries, but as a Nigerian who grew up in Nigeria, I can tell you that children in Nigeria are naked because Nigerians don't feel the pressing need for children to wear clothes.
