President Muhammadu Buhari has warmly felicitated with men, particularly in Nigeria, as the world celebrates another International Men’s Day (IMD), which thoughtfully places the spotlight on health issues, modelling and leadership roles, sacrifices and other multi-layered responsibilities of men, which include respect for women.
The President in a statement by his media aide, Femi Adesina, reiterated the pivotal role of men in ensuring a safe, peaceful and progressive environment, given their visible positions in families, governments, communities, and leadership in religious, traditional and political institutions.
While recognising the strong, influential and significant position of women in building the nation over the years, with evidence in their rising profiles, the President specially urged men to be guided in protecting and promoting democracy in Nigeria, by ensuring full participation in the forthcoming elections, 2023, adhering to regulations of the electoral body, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and exploring redress in the courts.
Men need home front support to face enormous obligations, says Falobi
MEN need all the support they can get, especially from the home front and the family unit inorder to face the enormous burden placed on them by obligations, career expectations, societal influence and peer influence factors.
This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Sanmi Falobi, Coordinator, of the International Men’s Day (IMD) 2022 Nigeria event and IMD Ambassador, West Africa in Abuja
In the statement ahead of the IMD which is celebrated every year on Nov. 19, Falobi said:”though men are generally perceived to be strong-hearted and socialised to project strength, autonomy, dominance and stoicism, there are many men dying silently and crying inwardly due to the enormous burden placed on them by family obligations and career expectations.

Men who have taught and exemplified values like honesty, loyalty, respect, unselfishness, compassion, and love to young boys around them watch these boys grow up to become responsible members of society. This is why we decided to commemorate International Men’s Day this year by inviting five young boys from Barton College to a small event at the Softcom Headquarters to have inspiring conversations.
