"GEJ signed a bill this week that criminalizes female genital mutilation or cutting, a practice that a staggering 19.9 million Nigerian women are thought to have undergone. The landmark legislation is being hailed as an important step for Africa’s most populous country but also one that experts hope will have a potential ripple effect on the 26 other African nations that have significant populations of women who undergo the practice" - International Business Times

IT IS ABOUT TIME. Hopefully this won't be one of those political posturing actions that politicians use nowadays to further their careers. I doubt GEJ has anymore to offer the nation as a politician, so if this is his parting gift, I am very happy with it. Female genital mutilation is a real issue, one that most are unaware of because we live in our bubble and at times fail to realize that people who do not live in bustling or adequately-infrastructured cities battle issues completely different from the ones we face, especially in places where access to education and healthcare is severely inefficient. Signing this bill into a law is a giant step for femalehood, but the most critical step will be to make sure that it is enforced and that those who continue to engage in this horrible and unnecessary practice are criminalized.

So, what exactly is wrong with female circumcision? Is it because Oyibo say it's wrong or do you have a real reason? How come no one is talking about Male Genital Mutilation? I guess WE don't count.

I suggest you tell your femiNazi activists to take turns sucking my Mutilated Genitals.

Comparing male circumcision to female genital mutilation (FGM) is like comparing apples to oranges. FGM renders the female Instruments reproductively nonfunctional, and has many detrimental consequences. The rate at which male circumcision results in lasting physical and permanent damage is nil when compared to FGM. Additionally, the reason behind each practice is different, FGM is done to ensure that a girl maintains her purity by diminishing her libido. Advocating for the annulment of FGM does not make one a femiNazi, you uninformed bigot.
