Hi Jeremy,

I would like to use the first image in an online journal publication. I was looking to receive permission to reuse this photo. We are a non-profit organization so this will be used solely for educational/informational purposes.

If you could post your contact information (email, link to some other private forum I can post) so I can discuss this further, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you.

I am completely out of the loop because after reading comments, I still do not know who or what they are protesting against.

Can somebody tell us please?

@Catwalq: Nudity has always been an accepted part of Nigerian (and in the wider sense African ) culture. But people always try to use Christianity and Islam as an excuse to bash nudity. The fact is, traditionally breasts are not a big deal. If we feel uncomfortable with them now, then we have the cultures of those who brought us Christianity and Islam to blame.
Personally I am completely comfortable with nudity. It should be respected as an age old form of protest.

I don't think we've "come to anything".

This is arranged. Paid for. Which makes it insulting to all those women who strip because it comes from a place of pain, and truth.

I can't believe anyone would dare cheapen what has always been a sacred form of protest. By cheapening it, they strip it of its potency.

2009-04-30T13:36:00.000+01:00

to anon 1.08 and you think these women's action is not from a deep place of rage? In all the years that there has been election malpractice in Nigeria and this part of Yorubaland, why haven't we witnessed this type of action women? Why now? Anon 1.08, you must have a really low opinion of women (i don't care if you are a man or a woman) to think that they cannot feel enough rage to feel that this is their last result. Perhaps you have no sense of the extremities such women have to be pushed to do this kind of thing. As such you cannot appreciate the enormity of it. I am sure the ruling party are not taking this action lightly. They are probably very worried.

@anonymous 1:08, so your own mama's strip meant it but not these women? Bitch, please!

2009-04-30T13:08:00.000+01:00

yeah, this is my take too, last anon. it looks so staged and organized.. thats not to say organized protests are a sham, but i'm pretty certain- especially in the nigeria of today, that these women are just pawns or props if you will, sent out by fat cat politicians to serve their own ends.
Many years ago in lagos, armed robbers visited (what else can youcall it?) my brother's elderly neighbour. The minute she saw them she began to strip (in naijaspeak, "nekkid ha self". The previously fearless thieves immediately shielded their eyes ( while still wielding their guns) saying "Oh OH oh, mama, why are you doing this noOW? please stop it, mama, PLEEEase". Mama kept stripping. The hoods fled for their lives. Mama's strip came from the belly- from her gut. She MEANT that curse, and the boys believed her.

curse sabi classroom technicality-ism too :)

2009-04-30T01:25:00.000+01:00

Wow! I remember in Warri, Effurun actually,early 90's, there was a peaceful demonstration and Mobile Policemen started using excessive force and some old women came out totally naked. The MPs ran for their lives.
Tradition, superstition, no matter how enlightened you are, there is something to be said for the power of the nakedness of an old woman in protest. "person eye no de see old mama bia bia"

2009-04-29T23:15:00.000+01:00

The revolution shall be led by women. Nigerians, stop settling. Start telling the govt "enough".
The government should be afraid of the people, not the other way around!

Oh no!

2009-04-29T20:57:00.000+01:00
