Vanessa Obioha writes that the #MeToo movement is long overdue in Nigeria and perhaps, Baba Ijesha’s case may be a good starting point
Each time a prominent person is accused of sexual abuse, there is a flicker of hope that the long-awaited #MeToo movement that started in the United States and diminished powerful people who were once deemed invincible would finally find its voice in Nigeria. There have been pockets of #MeToo moments in the country such as the #ArewaMeToo in the northern region in 2017. It was inspired by 24-year-old pharmacist Khadija Adamu in Kano State. Adamu who was sexually assaulted by her boyfriend blogged about her abuse eight months later, spurring other women in the region to speak about the sexual violence against them.
