The Nigerian government signed a bill into law that basically gives legal backing to what SARS officers do. Nigerian men are silent. No outrage, no concerted effort to get it struck down or repealed. Heck, most don't even know it happened.

But if it's come to Twitter for

Patriarchy FC bants, the energy just shows up from nowhere. Shey I said a couple days back that women are making a serious, concerted movement towards getting a better deal for themselves and even though progress is slow, it is coming step by step and that Nigerian men are

getting nothing because they can't organise themselves for one cause that affects them collectively. Men are affected a lot by SARS officers' actions and you'd think by now, there'd be a serious, collective push to end that but no. The only time Nigerian men organise for anything

here is bants and fantasy league. You think it's women that are doing you? The legislators that passed the bill are men. The president that signed it is a man. The officers that oppress you? All men! You won't face them. You can't face them. But you can create a logo and name

and buy a domain name to make fun of women. Are we afraid of our fellow men, to call them out or what? How difficult is it to organise a movement to deal decisively with something that affects all of us? If women's oppression is funny to you, is getting harassed, oppressed

and even murdered by police officers funny too? When will we create a logo and buy a domain name to challenge and change the status quo in this country?

The Nigerian government takes your lives as bants because you take your own life as bants. How are they supposed to take you

seriously if you don't take yourself seriously. You think it's trending #EndSARS that would fix the problem? You guys have not even started.
