RE: Sam’s Hangout #118 - “FEMICIDE: PREVENTION & CONSEQUENCES”

Hello everyone, panel of judges accurate... 😂😂 Okay enough of that.
Happy weekend my people.

Hmmm this topic sent goosebumps all over my body you know why? I don't know about other countries but let's talk about my country "Nigeria."

When a husband abused his wife in Nigeria, out of 100%, 90% of our naija parents will advice you to stay in that marriage and not just our parents. When you go further to seek the society (internet) for advice, a lot of people will advice you to remain there some might even call you dramatic or blame you.

But I will start from our parents especially our mothers. Why? Why do I have to stay in an abusive marriage because you don't want people to talk?
Especially parents with titles, (pastors, imam, etc) mostly greedy parents because the marriage is a source of income to them.

So yes I've heard and also I've seen a lot of situations like this not just intimate partner and also male family member. It's so sad because each stories passes a sign or warning out there that were ignored.

Ignorance has made society believe that when someone is going through abuse it's none of our business because they are not family or related to us.

The government and the society should not just create a strong law but also enforced it against domestic violence.
community also need to play a crucial role to put all this to an end. The society needs to speak up and stop blaming the victims and support them.

Appropriate punishment and fair investigations should be carried out on the offenders to serve as justice to those who lost their lives.
