Isioma Adeyemi A ruling which many in Nigeria are calling controversial was passed by the Supreme court of Nigeria on the 28tjh of October 2019 in Abuja, declaring that all women who have clitorises longer than 7,5 centimeters (3 inches) can now be legally considered as men. The unanimous decision which saw the five-member Supreme Court panel, led by Justice Mary Odili; ruled that 36-year old Isioma Adeyemi’s request was “perfectly sound and legitimate”, ordering that her legal status be changed immediately. Ms. Adeyemi has been in court for nearly a decade, fighting to be legally declared a man because of her exceptionally large clitoris. “This is the greatest day of my life! My first husband repudiated me because my clitoris was bigger than his penis, now I finally get some kind of justice.” The Nigerian law has now given Ms. Adeyemi the right to own land, have several wives, work at night, and can no longer be legally beaten to the level of “grievous hurt” by her husband or male relatives. Following the ruling, some Governmental experts disclosed that over 600 other Nigerian women who have sufficiently big clitorises are ready to apply for a change to their legal status. Nigeria is the second country in the world! to offer women with large clitorises the option of being legally considered as men. It will be recalled that in 2011, Uganda ruled that all women with clitorises longer than 5 centimetres (2 inches) can be considered men.
