A systemic form of oppression,
intimidation, or mistreatment—especially of individuals or
marginalized groups.
Abiamalism was coined from Abiama, a word in the Okpameri dialect spoken in parts of Nigeria (e.g., Lampese, Ibillo, Imoga, Bekuma, and others), meaning oppression,
intimidation, or mistreatment.
The suffix “-lism” was added to give the word a broader sense of institutional or systemic application, similar to words like colonialism or racism.
