Nigerian Community UK 🇳🇬 🇬🇧

Some Nigerian women need to understand that moving to the UK should also come with a willingness to unlearn certain mindsets. You cannot relocate to a society where financial independence, shared responsibilities and partnership are part of everyday life, yet still expect a man to shoulder every financial responsibility simply because that is what you grew up seeing. What exactly is wrong with sharing bills with your partner? Why should financial responsibility automatically fall on the man? Travelling abroad should broaden your perspective. You should be willing to learn, unlearn and adapt to different ways of doing things. Marriage and relationships should be about partnership, not entitlement. Both people should be willing to contribute according to their circumstances and capabilities. Our society has conditioned so many people to have unhealthy expectations around money and relationships. Until we begin to challenge these beliefs, we will continue to carry the same financial attitudes into environments that operate very differently. Financial independence is not a threat to femininity, and sharing responsibilities does not make a man less of a man. It’s called partnership.

A few weeks ago, I spoke to one of our Nigerian brothers at HMP Oakwood prison, who is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for rape. He told me that he met the woman at Oxygene Nightclub in Wolverhampton. After meeting, they went back to his house, where they had sexual intercourse. However, she later reported the matter to the police, alleging that she had been raped, and he was subsequently charged and convicted. He was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in November last year. Under the terms of his sentence, he is expected to serve two-thirds of the sentence before being deported back to Nigeria.

The sentencing of Russell Brand to 10 years and 6 months in prison should serve as a serious lesson to Nigerian men living in the UK. Rape is a very serious criminal offence in the UK, and nobody is above the law, regardless of their fame, wealth or background. Several Nigerian men have also received lengthy prison sentences for rape in the UK. As recently as November last year, a Nigerian man was sentenced to 10 years in prison for rape and is currently serving his sentence at HMP Oakwood. The UK does not take rape lightly. Think before you act. Your freedom is in your hands.

We are pleased that justice has been served and that Glenn Gibbins has been found guilty. Let this be a clear message: the Nigerian community in the UK will not tolerate racism, discrimination or derogatory remarks directed at our people. We deserve the same respect, dignity and equality as every other community. No individual, regardless of their political affiliation or position, should feel entitled to make racist comments without being held accountable. On behalf of the Nigerian community in the UK, we welcome this verdict and hope it serves as a strong warning to other members of @reformparty_uk and anyone else who engages in or encourages racism, that such behaviour has consequences. Our community deserves respect. Racism has no place in our society, and we will continue to stand together against it.
