Speaking to The Nation about the reoccurring family ritual, Hope Iyoha, stated that his family members are mounting pressure on him to provide his daughter for circumcision and that his wife had ran away with the baby.
He also said his life is under threat as the family members have been threatening to deal with him should he not provide his daughter wherever she is hidden within the country. Iyoha said; “Our people believe that it is carried out to control women’s and girls’ sexuality. It is sometimes a condition for marriage. They have the crude belief that if it is not done, the clitoris will grow to the size of a penis, or that FGM will enhance fertility. Others also view the external female genitalia as dirty and ugly. Though, majority do not know why it is done other than to check promiscuity.
Zahrahmusa Nigerians stop cutting your daughters. They will grow up with no desire for sex,hard to get orgasm and unable to match their husband libido. A Nigerian man recently devorced his wife because she hates sex,...that's what FGM does to women. And FGM doesn't stop promiscuity either.
