Content creator Alvin of Lagos has criticized Nigerian men over their treatment of women, stating plainly that he is a strong hater of Nigerian men. In a video posted online, Alvin said he made the remark intentionally and warned against responses that claim not all men behave that way. He referred to an incident involving a woman who was dining with a friend when a man approached her, complimented her, and asked for her social media handle. Alvin said the man's first message to her asked if they could make out in his car, which he described as sexual harassment. He said he was disappointed that numerous men on X defended the message, adding that he counted 50 to 60 comments from men who saw nothing wrong with it. Alvin questioned why women are often blamed for inappropriate behavior by men, and asked how those defending the incident would react if their mothers or sisters received similar messages. He accused some men of condemning such behavior only when it involves women close to them while dismissing the experiences of other women.
