Most times we talk about the effects of patriarchy on women in a society, but truth be told the effects are harmful to men. As a result of these attitudes and pressures, here are 10 things about being a man in Nigeria:
-
1 If you don’t have a job get ready for your man license to be revoked
-
2 You must be responsible for your wife, children, her parents and siblings, your parents and siblings without complaining all on your 100k salary
Even if you end up with a stroke from all the pressure what is the big deal. Are you not a man? Oh and prepare for the waiter to always hand you the bill.
-
3 You should not cry ever.
You are not just a human, you are a man. Emotions are not built for people like you.
-
4 Don’t attend a school reunion without your property and car on fleek because being broke is never an option
As a man you are not expected to be broke.
-
5 You are not allowed to earn less than your wife
-
6 You must be a good leader and be financially astute just by virtue of being a man even though you haven’t got the faintest clue about any of those things
-
7 You should never ask for help.
Men shouldn’t be taught some basic survival skills like learning to nourish themselves or how to keep themselves clean.
-
8 You should never admit that you do not know how to do something
Are you not a man?
-
9 You are not expected to know how to cook or wash your own underwear
Prepare to be constantly infantalised. Men shouldn’t be taught some basic survival skills like learning to nourish themselves or how to keep themselves clean.
