To understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about ‘traditional families’
How do you guys pronounce Niger? Does it sound French, or is there an other pronounciation to it?
In Niger, everyone says “nee-zhair.” That’s how I’ve always said it. There’s a Niger state in Nigeria, and that one always pronounced “nay-jer”
FWIW, in Nigeria, shorthand for “Nigerian” is Naija, pronounced “nay-ja” as one would expect.
Can you do Nigeria? It’s basically the same without the ia. If not try, ni like bi in bisexual + ger like Germany.
