Nigeria: Having a Period Is Still Expensive in Nigeria and Nobody Is Talking About It

[Guardian] Seyi Alaka, a student of Oshodi Comprehensive High School failed part of her 2018 Junior Secondary School BECE (Basic Education Certificate Examination) because some of the exams were written when she was on her menstrual cycle. She would have loved to write her exams when her mates did. But her parents' inability to buy her a pack of sanitary pad that costs between N400 and N500 meant she had to rewrite those exams the following year.
