Our phones buzz all the time and it could be anything in the message. From your family WhatsApp group, spam SMS from your telco, prayers from a random acquaintance or even a request from your crush: SEND NUDES!
We dare to say that the majority of us yearn to send and receive nudes to and from our lovers or potential lovers. Sometimes it isn’t even nudes, it is simply because we use dating apps that just pictures of ourselves or our faces could be risky, because of the risqué things we’ve discussed and admitted to wanting to do…
Whatever the situation might be, SaferNudes Nigeria believes the privacy of your communications is a right and that the decision to have them published or not should be exclusively yours. Luckily, many laws in Nigeria also support that viewpoint and we need to use that to thwart those who may wish to harm us, or shame us. With that in mind, we picked a few tips and practices that can help you to send your nudes online in a safer way. SaferNudes Nigeria is a collective effort brought by regular folks interested in online and offline safety. It includes a recommendation, input and advice by many community members who gathered together in Lagos and Abuja to brainstorm on these issues.
