“…Despite increasing modernization, certain patriarchal values in many African countries persist and justify IPV, even among women (Ajah, Iyoke, Nkwo, Nwakoby, & Ezeonu, 2014; Kunnuji, 2015; Silva, Irabor, Olowookere, Owoaje, & Adebusoye, 2015; Tanimu, Yohanna, & Omeiza, 2016). In their study, Ajah et al found that some women, especially rural dwellers, justified violence against women who went out without informing their spouses, neglected their children, or did both.…”

Various socioeconomic and demographic factors have been known to be associated with spousal violence. The intimate partner violence (IPV) experiences of Nigerian women have been investigated from feminist and life course perspectives from previous studies. However, studies have also pointed to the complexities of victimhood with the presence of IPV perpetration. But there have been few studies on the impact of perpetration of violence on the experience of victimization, and this study seeks to address that gap in knowledge within the Nigerian context. It seeks to understand the dynamics of perpetration and the experience of spousal violence among Nigerian women across 2008 and 2013. The study analyzed the 2008 and 2013 Nigerian Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) data. Using binary logistic regression, the study showed that the perpetration of violence is significantly associated with a woman's victimization experience, after controlling for socioeconomic, demographic, and abuse variables in 2008 and 2013. This study does not in any way minimize the victimization experiences of Nigerian women but simply seeks to provide data that add

“…It is a persistent stressor in women's lives (Anderson & Saunders, ; Goodman, Smyth, Borges, & Singer, ) leading to a significant proportion of mental and physical health issues (Devries et al., ; García‐Moreno et al., ). Two studies have found a correlation between IPV and obesity (Sato‐DiLorenzo & Sharps, ; Silva, Irabor, Olowookere, Owoaje, & Adebusoye, ) and seven studies found that IPV was a predictor of obesity (Bosch, Weaver, Arnold, & Clark, ; Breiding, Black, & Ryan, ; Clark et al., ; Davies, Lehman, Perry, & McCall‐Hosenfeld, ; Mason, Ayour, Canney, Eisenberg, & Neumark‐Sztainer, ; Scott‐storey, Wuest, & Ford‐gilboe, ; Yount & Li, ). While the studies that used correlational and regression analyses provide valuable insight, they were limited in showing the pathway through which IPV leads to obesity.…”

“…A study of IPV among women in Kano State by Tanimu, Yohanna, and Omeiza (2016) revealed the lifetime prevalence of psychological IPV as 46.6%, physical IPV as 29%, and sexual IPV as 21.9%. Another study by Silva, Irabor, Olowookere, Owoaje, and Adebusoye (2015) among women attending a primary care clinic in Ibadan, Oyo State, revealed the lifetime prevalence of IPV as 89.25 for at least one form of IPV, controlling behavior as 79.5%, psychological IPV as 35.7%, physical IPV as 19.8%, and sexual IPV as 9.8%. A study on IPV against women in the last 12 months in Enugu State by Ezegwui, Iyoke, Ikeako, and Mbah (2012), shows the prevalence of physical, sexual, and verbal IPV as 10.9%, 12.7%, and 13.6%, respectively.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a reality the average Nigerian woman has to grapple with everyday. Ethnicity and place of residence play a pivotal role in the social realities of Nigerian women, especially with their experience of IPV. However, there is a paucity of reviews examining the impact of ethnicity and place of residence on women’s experiences of IPV in Nigeria. This study seeks to explore the ethnoregional dynamics of IPV from the range of studies undertaken on the subject matter. Eighteen studies meant the inclusion criteria for analysis. The major criteria for selecting studies for analysis were peer-reviewed studies on IPV against women and studies on a Nigerian population, regardless of the nationality of the authors. Databases like the University of Saskatchewan Library, ProQuest, Sociological Abstracts, and Journal Storage ( JSTOR) were used in searching for peer-reviewed studies. The study revealed that Igbo women tend to experience IPV more than Yoruba and Hausa women. The study also found that rural women tend to experience IPV more than urban women. The study points out some of the services available for female victims of IPV and the possible strategies that can be adapted to reach them effectively.
