In response to @adenike_pretty’s post on X, one user commented, “They don’t even see rape as a bad thing, and they’ll rather blame the victims,” raising concerns about victim-blaming in some rape cases in Nigeria. While such attitudes do exist, it’s important to note that they do not represent the perspective of all Nigerians.

Many Nigerians actively condemn rape and advocate for justice and support for survivors. Civil society organizations, legal bodies, and activists work tirelessly to raise awareness and combat both rape and victim-blaming. The ongoing fight for justice and accountability reflects the values of many Nigerians who are committed to creating a safer and more just society. It’s vital to acknowledge this progress and not generalize harmful attitudes to the entire population.
