Is Dark Skin Beautiful or Are We Lying to Ourselves?

Nigerians are no strangers to tribal, ethnic, and religious bias. However, one bias that Nigerians like to pretend doesn’t exist is colour bias. I have often heard people say that they only became aware of racial bias and colourism after they left Nigeria. For race, it’s understandable. …

The Innate Desire to Infantilise Women

I try to avoid online debates on gender and feminism. In fact, I avoid online arguments in general, period. Why? Because I am someone who enjoys drama as an innocent bystander, or rather, in the voice of Roddy, voiced by Hugh Jackman in Flushed Away, ‘a Millicent Bystander.’ However, in…

ANGEL NDUKA-NWOSU ON THE 2019 POLICE RAID ON WOMEN IN ABUJA

In 2019, I spoke to Angel Nduka-Nwosu about the Abuja police raid. Several women were arrested, molested, and raped by the police. This raid led to a march on the police headquarters to protest against gender-based violence and the inhumane treatment of the arrested women. Angel Nduka-Nwosu was one of…

The Death of Me, the Death of Them

I have always been curious about death. I think about my death, sometimes in a suicidal way and other times not. I think about the death of others — the death of loved ones and the death of those I could care less about — and it’s not death in…

The Blurry Lines of Consent

I wrote some articles a few years back; they were supposed to be feminist articles — little did I know that they were rooted deeply in internalised misogyny. One of such articles was titled “The Blurry Lines of Consent.” Looking back now, that was a very cringe-worthy article that basically…

Dear Woman, Take Charge of Your Identity

The African society generally abhors disrespect. Taking Yoruba culture, for instance, it is disrespectful to call an older person by their first name. The honorifics, aunty, or uncle are preferred.
