A Nigerian writer identified as Tosin has written on his experience with Kano residents in an area he just relocated to weeks ago.
In his post, he revealed that he walked freely on the street wearing a short and surprisingly the men in that street began to stare at him, probably out of fear that he was out to seduce their wives.
He claimed he had to rush back home.

Relocated to Kano 3 weeks ago__ So today, I decided to take a walk, wearing a short. To my surprise, the people were staring at me, especially the men, I was so uncomfortable. The stare was just too much, I kept on wondering why they were staring like that
I just had to quickly rush back home. Do you know why they were staring? It’s because i was wearing short, it’s because the men are scared and threatened I might snatch their wives. Men are not allowed to wear short, especially bachelors.
As a matter of fact__ If I’m not careful, the men in the community could hold a meeting and ask me to leave the community if I should continue to wear short. Just because they don’t want me to snatch their wives…
