𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙚 Right now at this exact moment, a silent battle is currently being fought all around the country. A crime that is rarely prosecuted, a human rights violation, and a serious threat to the daily lives of thousands of women and children.
Of course this is referring to the unpleasant reality of domestic abuse. Domestic violence is still a taboo topic today, a horrible secret that shouldn’t be revealed. We can hear and see what is happening, so we are aware of it. But who is doing something?

One of the major causes of this crime is the illiteracy of young men towards the topic. Every single man out there is a role model to somebody, it doesn’t matter where or who.

This is why we have taken this topic seriously and have decided to make the theme of the 2023 Misters of Nigeria pageant “𝐌𝐀𝐍, 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓”

Little drops of water makes an ocean. We believe that no effort is wasted and we are dedicated to doing our own quota in passing this message and training our Kings to spread this message to every single person who listens and looks up to them.
