The increased acceptability and use of condoms by men in southwestern Nigeria is reflected in joking references to condoms in the comic-style popular press. Yet these references display an ambivalence about condoms that is mirrored in survey data and in interviews regarding condom use by rural Ekiti Yoruba men. This ambivalence, which is often couched in terms of health, has implications for the acceptance of government-sponsored HIV/AIDS-related educational programs. Because of the irreverence of comic-style newspapers and the 'unofficial' nature of their authority which coincides with popular attitudes about health programs, they have a credibility that could be useful in educating adolescents about sexually-transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS.
尼日利亚西南部男性对避孕套接受度和使用率的提高，体现在通俗报刊以喜剧风格对避孕套的调侃性提及中。然而，这些提及展现出对避孕套的矛盾态度，这在调查数据以及关于埃基蒂约鲁巴族农村男性使用避孕套的访谈中也有所体现。这种矛盾态度常以健康为由表达，对政府资助的与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关的教育项目的接受度产生影响。由于喜剧风格报纸的不拘谨以及其“非官方”性质与大众对健康项目的态度相符，它们具有的可信度可用于对青少年进行性传播疾病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的教育。
