<\/p>\nTo say that Nigeria is not ready for feminism would be an understatement, but that’s okay because I don’t think any nation – no matter how advanced – is ever ready for feminism. That’s why Nigerian women cannot and should not wait for Nigeria to be ready for feminism. Sometimes, one does not have to prepare for greatness before greatness is thrust upon them.<\/p>\n

Granted, there has been a lot of foolishness on the internet<\/strong><\/a>, done in the name of feminism, and perhaps, they have shed a comical and unserious light on feminism, making the rest of us look stupid, but when I see women denouncing feminism, I assume that this is because they are simply confused by what feminism actually means. Perhaps, they are just hung up on the word. So naturally, especially in light of recent events, I have compiled a list of what feminism is and isn’t for the confused Nigerian woman.
