@GataAgressiva411

Nice video & glad you had a pleasant trip. You went to school in Nigeria, so you have a strong idea about the country. You mentioned something that caught my attention, you said women don't have rights in Nigeria. If you can, please kindly elaborate. Also, are you a avid American feminist? Most Western feminists like Oprah will hate countries like Nigeria. The U.S is more of a matriarchal society while Nigeria is more of a patriarchal society. My opinions, do you agree?

[GataAgressiva411]

@forevah I am not a feminist, but my perspective is very woman-oriented. I also do not believe the U.S. or any other society on earth is matriarchal. I say Nigerian women don't have rights in regards to the millions of poor women who are raped and do not receive justice or protection, and are often even raped by the police whom they report to. The only reason why I was not sexually abused in Nigeria is because I have class privilege.

@GataAgressiva411

Nigeria is still a poor country and the law enforcers are poorly paid and equipped to do the right thing. Its not an excuse, its an unfortunate situation these poor women find themselves in. I don't have the stats to back it up, but I know rape or sexual molestation is tackled hard in Nigeria regardless of status. Forgive my assumptions about you being a feminist. Some are very ignorant and assume women in Nigeria aren't allowed to work or have a high status..

[GataAgressiva411]

@forevah Oh yeah, Nigerian women can definitely occupy higher statuses. Men typically tend to get taken more seriously, but that goes for all countries. Honestly though I don't appreciate the dating culture there, where most men think it's OK to cheat or have multiple girlfriends. That as well happens everywhere, but the difference is that it's accepted in Nigeria.

@GataAgressiva411

Yes, you are right. It is kind of accepted in Nigeria because the laws allows it. As you know, polygamy is very legal in Nigeria. In the West, the laws are very clear and specific. Polygamy is illegal so as infidelity. In the West if a divorce occurs, the child/children automatically goes to the mother most times depending on the court's decision. In Nigeria, the opposite is true. The kid(s) automatically goes to the father according to the law. Cultural differences!!

@GataAgressiva411 Anybody on earth that has morals, good ethics and values would agree with you against the issue of rape. You said it yourself, POOR WOMEN. This is a universal problem and not a Nigerian problem. I can find these problems in poor neighborhoods and trailer parks in the US or any Western country where domestic violence is rife. US policemen take advantage of their position to rape women who broke the law to cancel their offence. etc. Their are many other examples. Cont...
