A Nigerian lady has challenged feminists to explain why they frequently criticise men online, questioning their approach to independence and financial success. In a video making the rounds online, the young woman wondered why older women were more vocal about describing men as wicked, evil and scum, while ladies of her age rarely engaged in such discussions.
In her words, she said:
“Why is it that young ladies, young girls of my age, you will not see them coming online to bash men, saying that men are evil, men are wicked, men are scum? It’s always these aunties that will come online to tell us that men are evil and men are wicked.
What happened to you people? Aunty, you guys should come forward and tell us what happened to you. Please explain, because me, I don’t understand again.”
The lady also questioned why Nigerian feminists were allegedly absent from the list of the country’s richest women, arguing that many of the women on the list were married to wealthy men.
She challenged feminists to explain why they were not represented among the top 10, 20 or even the top-ranked richest women.
“Why is none of your names among the top 20, or top 1, or top 10 of these women? Why is it that these women are married to men who are the richest in Nigeria? Are you guys not independent enough? Are you guys not strong enough?” she queried.
She further accused feminists of focusing more on online discussions than showcasing their achievements, insisting that they were not putting their work forward.
Her comments have drawn attention to ongoing conversations about feminism, relationships and women’s financial independence.
