Description
Samson Uchenna Eze studies how Nigeria marks International Women's Day in a 2026 paper. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, and the day has grown from state events in the 1980s into a mix of firm led parties, protests, and ads. Yet the gap between women and men stays wide.
Eze argues that the state uses the day to praise itself and to tout aid plans, while firms turn it into sales. Praise for a few star women, he says, is not the same as freedom for all. His case rests on talks with twelve women in a focus group and on field talks at day events. He urges women to keep protest at the center.
