Nigeria: Hear Word Highlights Injustice Against Women

Hear Word is a collection of skits on the injustice facing Nigerian Women. The Producer and director of the theatre show, Ifeoma Fafunwa, recently announced that the 2015 edition of the show will kick off with a special performance at the University of Lagos and premieres at the MUSON Centre, Onikan. The production will subsequently run at the same venue every Friday and Saturday in May, alongside satellite performances in public spaces around Lagos.

Fafunwa while explaining her reason for producing the stage play started her speech by saying that when she came back to Nigeria after spending more than 20 years in the US, she discovered that the Nigerian women has to some extent been battered down by the society. She explained that whenever she walks into a social function with a broad smile on her face, other women who have forced themselves to act in public just to fit in wonder why she is so happy.
