“You’re a pick-me If you’re not a feminist ” Nigerian Woman Goes Viral Urging Girls to Embrace Feminism

• A Nigerian woman went viral in 2026 after urging girls to embrace feminism, describing it as essential for self-protection and empowerment.
• She highlighted that rejecting feminism leaves women vulnerable and disregards historical struggles that secured their rights.

A video of a Nigerian woman urging girls to embrace feminism has gone viral in 2026. Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @Gidi_Traffic, the video shows her passionately speaking to young women about the importance of recognizing feminism in today’s society.

She argued that girls who reject feminism are putting themselves at risk of being exploited. According to her, failing to acknowledge feminism’s role makes one a “pick-me,” vulnerable to manipulation by society, parents, religion, and men.

The woman emphasized that the privileges women enjoy today, such as education, financial independence, and career opportunities, are the result of feminist movements.

She warned that denying feminism is equivalent to ignoring the struggles of those who fought to secure these rights.

In the viral clip, she said: “If you’ve not started practicing feminism as a religion in 2026, and you are a girl, that means you are a pick-me. And guess what? They would pick you. Those men that you are always supporting, they would not just pick you, but they would also use you and dump you. Now, I see the reason why as a girl, you should be saying, ‘Oh, I am not a feminist,’ but yet you have a bank account, yet you go to school, yet you can work. Who are the people that fought for all these things that you are enjoying now? And you wake up one morning and say, ‘Oh, no, you are not a feminist.’ You are just a pick-me. They would pick you, they would use you. You are in a country or a society where society is manipulating you. Men would manipulate you. Your parents would manipulate you. Religion itself would manipulate you. And yet you say you are not a feminist. Okay, be ready, because you are going to get used, and not just used—they will use you and then dump you. At the end of the day, you will become bitter.”
