Nigerian actress Shine Rosman has taken a bold stand against what she describes as the "deep-rooted hatred" for women in Nigerian society. 

In a passionate post on her Instagram story, the actress did not hold back, voicing her frustration and anger over the persistent mistreatment and societal disregard for women across various spheres of life.

Rosman’s statement comes in the wake of actress Regina Daniels reportedly opening up about being physically abused in her marriage. 

While Daniels’ revelations have stirred mixed reactions online, it was Rosman's reaction that sparked renewed conversations about gender inequality and abuse in Nigeria.

“Nobody can convince me otherwise, so keep your comments to yourself. The Nigerian society genuinely hates women,” Shine wrote, making it clear she wasn’t interested in opposing views or any attempts to downplay the reality many women face.

Her words have since gone viral, drawing support from feminist groups and social media users who believe her statement reflects a larger truth about gender dynamics in Nigeria. 

For many, Rosman's assertion is not just an emotional outburst, but a sobering critique of how women are treated from domestic settings to the entertainment industry and even the political arena.

Shine Rosman's outburst reflects a growing frustration among Nigerian women who face daily battles with societal expectations, abuse, and a lack of institutional support.

 While Nigeria is rich in culture and tradition, many of these traditions have historically relegated women to submissive roles, often silencing them when they face injustice.

The silence around abuse especially domestic abuse is particularly deafening. 

In many communities, women are discouraged from speaking up, often blamed for the abuse they endure, or pressured to “keep the home together” at all costs. Shine's outcry is thus seen as a brave refusal to be silent.

Rosman joins a growing number of Nigerian public figures who are speaking out about gender-based violence and toxic societal norms. 

Artists like Tiwa Savage, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Toke Makinwa have all, in different ways, pushed for more awareness, support, and respect for Nigerian women.

However, criticism also follows. Some online users accuse celebrities of using social issues to gain publicity. 

Others argue that these concerns are “overblown” or “un-African,” revealing just how deeply entrenched misogynistic attitudes remain in society.

While Rosman’s statement may be seen as controversial, it undeniably highlights a crucial need for national conversation and policy reforms. 

Gender-based violence remains a major issue in Nigeria, and despite laws like the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act (VAPP), enforcement remains weak and awareness low.

Until there is real systemic change where women can feel safe, heard, and respectedstatements like Rosman’s will continue to resonate with millions who share her sentiment.

Whether or not one agrees with her wording, the message is clear: Nigerian women are tired, and they are speaking up.
