To subject someone or a group to systemic oppression, intimidation, or mistreatment.
The term is derived from Abiamalism, which itself comes from Abiama—a word in the Okpameri dialect (spoken in communities such as Lampese, Ibillo, Imoga, Bekuma, and others in Nigeria)—meaning oppression, intimidation, or mistreatment. The suffix “-ise” gives it a verb form, like ostracise or marginalise.
