Nigerian Women Are Becoming Monsters by AloyEmeka9: 8:32pm On Oct 19, 2008
I've received the email below twice this weekend from two friends, one Nigerian and the other South African who will jump at anything to label Nigerians monsters. I know some of you have received this annoying email and i want to make certain things clear.

1) Nigeria has over 160M population and about 40M of that population are females 18 and above. So, if we have domestic violence related crimes at the rate of one per month, is that too much comparing to south Africa that has tens everyday?

2) I am not supporting domestic violence but crimes like this happen everywhere in the world everyday in much higher frequencies than in Nigeria. The person that compiled this email supposedly lives in the US, can he compare the crime rate of that sort in his city per month to what happened in Nigeria in a six months gap?

3) guys, we need to update our game and be real to our women. May be our women are getting tired of us and our games. please love your wives, say no to wife beaters, stop playing with her emotions and always pray together with your wife so that God can help you avert this kind of problem.

4) Our women should also reduce the rate at which they get angry and pray fervently for peace in their homes.

5) stop forwarding this email if you get them because NIGERIAN WOMEN ARE NOT MONSTERS.



Re: Why are Nigerian women slowly becoming monsters?

Why is domestic violence getting worse everyday in Nigeria?. Why are Nigerian women taking part in this heinous crime? What is responsible for Nigerian women getting more aggressive by the day?. Could it be hardship or obscure westernization because our culture forbids things like these back in the days. Are our women slowly joining the men shamelessly in moral decadence?. I wish these crimes separated in episodes were story lines for TV stories but they are real and they all happened withing 9 months. Obviously, at this rate,more episodes are bound to happen in this same 2008. While our society is not yet well equipped to battle violence against women and children, how will we take care of this extra new burden of violence against men by women?. Enjoy the episodes and don't forget to pray for Nigeria.

woman Beheads her husband

For allegedly beheading her husband, a woman is currently cooling her heels in the cell at the Iperu Divisional Police Station, Ogun state. Like a demented person, the suspect, simply known as Iya Ibadan, was alleged to have, on Wednesday, sneaked into her husband’s room in the night when he was asleep at their 44, Jalugba Street, Iperu Remo, Ogun state, and dealt him several machete blows. The cuts severed the man’s head, killing him instantly. After killing the deceased, identified as Mr. Sabi Owolabi, 55, the suspect carried his body and dumped it in a pit latrine at the back of the house. The lid was blown off the dastardly act when the lower part of the deceased which could not be forced into the latrine was sighted by a neighbour. News of the murder threw the rustic Iperu town into confusion as thousands rushed to the house to witness the grisly scene. The matter was reported to the police and the suspect was promptly arrested.

Episode 7: October 2008 WICKED NEIGHBOUR!, Baths co-tenant with boiling water : Thursday, October 09, 2008 - By ADEOLA ADETUNJI, Abeokuta

If Mrs. Taiwo Adesina had any premonition that calamity was lurking around for her on Sunday August 17, 2008, she would probably have gone into hiding. But fate played a joke on her by not giving her any inkling and later that day her beautiful skin, which used to be a pride to her, was turned to an eyesore after her neighbour poured hot water on her. A little quarrel between Mrs. Adesina and her neighbour, Mrs. Joke Akerele Olota, had left indelible marks on the back of the former. Akerele-Olota, a 32-year-old mother of four, after bathing her neighbour with hot water, attributed her action to the devil “through uncontrollable anger.” The neighbour who is now standing trial at an Abeokuta Magistrate Court for assault occasioning harm, said that she did not intend to fight Mrs. Adesina “but her daughter insulted and disrespected me.” Narrating what led to her action, she said she had urged Mrs. Taiwo’s 15-year-old daughter, Zainab to wait for her to get down from the stair case first “but she did not only refuse, she also disrespected and insulted me.” After this assault, Mrs. Olota claimed that Zainab ran into her mother’s room and she ran after to beat her in the presence of her mother. “The little quarrel immediately degenerated to exchange of works between Zainab’s mother and I.” The accused further told the court that what prompted her to pour hot water on her co-tenant was the devil. “Please forgive me, it’s the devil’s handiwork. I would not have done this, but for the devil which pushed me into it.” She claimed that Zainab’s mother had been nice to her since providence brought them together in the building located in Abeokuta, the state capital. Touched by her plea, Mrs. Adesina told the court that she was no longer interested in the case and also pleaded for forgiveness for her co-tenant. Her words: “I have forgiven her. She is my younger sister’s mate. I thank God I am still alive today. Her father-in-law, who is the landlord, is good to me; likewise the husband.” Meanwhile, Justice Modinat Sobogu who granted the accused bail for N50, 000 advised her to always be of good behaviour and refuse to be used again by the devil. She later adjourned the case to October 13, 2008.

Mother throws son into well

FRUIT OF DOOM Woman throws neighbour’s child into well Desperate to have her own baby and the proverbial fruit of the womb, a housewife in Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos, has finally plucked a seeming fruit of doom. She has landed in police net where she is now responding to posers as to why she tried to drown a neighbours five-year-old son. The woman who abducted the kid in broad daylight and dumped him in a deep well, claimed that a juju priest (babalawo) advised her to carry out the evil act if she ever wanted to conceive and have her own baby. In compliance with the directive of the said babalawo, the woman, Adijat Shina,25, abducted little Bashiru Suleman, and threw him into a well in her compound, 18 Ibijoke Street, Oregun, Lagos. Bashiru would have been history save for a neighbour who saw Adijat throwing him into the well. The neighbour, a housewife, immediately raised an alarm and people came and rescued the half-drowned Bashiru. Were she not known in the area, Adijat would have been lynched by the angry mob that gathered at the scene. However, civility prevailed and she was taken to Alausa police station alongside another neighbour, Manifa Musa,21, who was alleged to have conspired with her to perfect the act. The case has since been transferred to Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Lagos.

[b]Well, it doesn't surprise me as unfavourable conditions can impact on everyone e.g. the unfavourable culture/traditions we have in Nigeria that disempowers our women.  If Nigerian women are becoming Monsters as cited above, it can only be blamed on the culture that breeds these unfavourable conditions leading to the antagonism in women.  Nigerian culture/traditions and even its laws, made no provisions/support for women protection or respect thus, our men have no respect whatsoever for women.  Women are considered incapable of any thing else aside, domesticity and baby rearing thus, any achievement by a woman however big or small is never acknowledged or celebrated in Nigeria, why and why not Even as I write this, majority in relationships have no say in decisions about their lives - decisions that would ultimately (good or bad) affect their future and that can not be right.  Because, many are now enlightened, educated and have travelled the world and see difference and now, have a point of reference/comparison, their eyes are opened and they know their rights/expectations within a relationship hence, the issues.
Therefore, this dis-empowering culture that is still being maintained in Nigeria has to change otherwise, our women will continue to fight against these inequalities and injustices until our people see sense. And to that I say, go girls, go, go Nigeria belongs to all of us!!!

Do you really think it would be difficult to find accounts of women of other cultures who have done the same or worse?

Generalisation is a very unsteady platform to base opinions on.
Re: Nigerian Women Are Becoming Monsters by Theblessed(f): 4:02pm On Jul 21, 2009
[b] Generalisation I heard someone say maybe!  However, the truth about our Nigerian traditions/culture and the injustices/inequalities are overt even to the blind.  We can not because, neighbouring countries/cultures can behave in similar fashion or even worse that us and continue with this unfair and wicked culture, that would be stupid.  Why can't Nigeria show good leadership in certain things for a change instead of comparing/emulating from other cultures not in the same league as her?  How pathetic to even think of that let alone, comparing ourselves with cultures not in our league when we claim to be the GIANT OF AFRICA and boy, we really are.  I suppose, we are well travelled people, have more resources, in terms of manpower, high population and to crown it all, more intelligent, and EDUCATED PEOPLE the whole of black Africa or has that now changed?  Again, we are more enlightened, why not lead instead of comparing sheepishly with other cultures no where near our league, think about that[/b]

@theblesed, even in places outside Africa and in the "developed world", there are plenty of cases of domestic violence both from men and women, just as wicked and worse than those mentioned here.

It seems you have as rosey picture of domestic violence outside of Africa.

Trust me, you are greatly misguided. the only major difference is that there are places to go for help in the west and society generally frowns upon it.

My husband never laid a finger on me in anger besides, he's not a violent man and I am not a violent person either.  I get angry, I shout and that's really it.  I detest people who smash things in anger, why smash things?? At the end of the day, it's gonna cost money to replace those things you smashed, money you should have invested in other things for the family, how stupid!

she said she shouts rather than hit. How is that a bad thing?

You do know bottling in anger will lead to health problems and especially affect your colon.

Some people say they never get angry (big lie btw) while others do. Everyone is different abeg.

That's wrong! You see, there's a difference between a woman voicing her hurt and targeting verbal abuses at her spouse.  Women only do this in response to their spouse's overt verbal, physical, emotional and financial abuses which they no longer could tolerate.  Thank God I have no such experiences in my marriage - our arguements never lasted more than 5 minutes, anyway! I married a real gentleman - non violent and wouldn't embark on any arguement with a lady.  Yes, he has his flaws in other areas, but not in wife battering - he was well brought up!  No one should batter an ADULT, period!!![/b]

I still don't know why you support women verbally abusing men yet turn around to condemn men beating women. If it's a natural feeling for women to abuse men verbally although some do theirs physically, then men can hide under such defense to physically abuse their wives because it's a natural instinct to react since they can match the woman word for word. There is no precedence to verbal or physical attacks on a spouse. Claiming that women abuse their husbands verbally because of a protracted frustration is ridiculous because they are won't swear they don't frustrate the man in the same measure. It takes two to tango, do what is right and leave the rest for God. Killing a man that beats you in his sleep is heinous no matter what he did to you. You'd be better off walking away than killing him. I wouldn't marry you no matter how I love you if you give me such stern warning because it means that anything besides beating you can trigger you to murder me. there is no excuse whatsoever to commit murder.

[b]You're concerned, aren't you? I hope you are not an aggressive man, but you seem like one?  Only aggressive men feel threatened by my comment.  I grew up being battered about by my brothers hence my determination never to be battered again.  Because, I take issues with this kind of a thing, I made it clear to my fiance that I won't have it and what the consequences is going to be. He's never done it and won't do it. If you are affraid of dying then, don't do it.  Yes, it heinous killing you in your sleep when your are vulnerable, after years of physical, emotional and mental abuses. But tell me, when next can a woman get that opportunity if not when you are tired and weak - alseep!  That's the right time to teach aggressive men their lessons.  But hey! it's not heinous punching the eyes of a woman you profess to love out out just because you want to prove you are a man, in control and in charge and a woman wouldn't tell you what to do - Ego in action! Well, to that I say, you will prove your last! Why hit somebody you love?  In your commentary above, you said you wouldn't  marry me after the warning - but who said if you didn't, no other man would, eh? Well that warning was a deterrant and it worked - setting the ground rules are important in any relationship at least everyone knows their boundaries.

To start with, I am not a man's punching bag and would not be punched about without fighting back.  Its only cowards that beats women up and beating a woman is not a way to demand respect from her.  You see, I don't care your interpretations of what I had just said.  All I care for is, I hadn't hit you, DON'T HIT ME, else you'd be HISTORY unless, if you don't sleep.  Besides, other aggressive men would learn their lessons from what happened to you - so, it's your choice really, not to go down the aggressive line of punching your punching bag - meeeee!  So, don't do it if I were you. If I had offended you control your anger and do what a gentleman would really do - WALK AWAY!!!  It doesn't demeans you rather it makes you a reasonable and responsible gentleman.[/b]

[b]You're concerned, aren't you? I hope you are not an aggressive man, but you seem like one?  Only aggressive men feel threatened by my comment.  I grew up being battered about by my brothers hence my determination never to be battered again.  Because, I take issues with this kind of a thing, I made it clear to my fiance that I won't have it and what the consequences is going to be. He's never done it and won't do it. If you are affraid of dying then, don't do it.  Yes, it heinous killing you in your sleep when your are vulnerable, after years of physical, emotional and mental abuses. But tell me, when next can a woman get that opportunity if not when you are tired and weak - alseep!  That's the right time to teach aggressive men their lessons.  But hey! it's not heinous punching the eyes of a woman you profess to love out out just because you want to prove you are a man, in control and in charge and a woman wouldn't tell you what to do - Ego in action! Well, to that I say, you will prove your last! Why hit somebody you love?  In your commentary above, you said you wouldn't  marry me after the warning - but who said if you didn't, no other man would, eh? Well that warning was a deterrant and it worked - setting the ground rules are important in any relationship at least everyone knows their boundaries.

Yes I am concerned that someone is walking around looking for an excuse to murder someone. You said, walk away isn't it?. Why won't you be the one to walk away instead of killing the man?.

Assuming you have a female neighbour who slaps you during a female quarreling, will you also monitor her and murder her in her sleep if the opportunity comes?. You are calling me a woman beater all b/c i stood against murder. Will you clap for any woman that murders your son that same way?. Let me tell you, because your husband is not complaining doesn't mean he is not being abused. If he proceeded to marry you after the murder warning, then something must be wrong with that man you call your husband.

I ask you again, if your husband told you that he will murder you in your sleep if you ever abuse him verbally or physically, will you have married him?.

That was a very tough question, Giving conditions that are not negotiable is not healthy in marriages.

[b]Well, my son is a gentleman.  Having a mother like me, can only deduce he loves women and, has massive respect for them.  No 'HELL' in the world would make him pick a fight with a woman, no hell.
He is far, far and far above that besides, from whom and where did he learn that?  He would never bring himself down to that level.  To a level, where a woman would hurt him because of violence Nooooo! As whether I would marry a man that warned me about violent behaviour, let me tell you this, nothing would stop me from marying a man am in love with, nothing! In fact, the warning indicates a peaceful person that needs a harmonious and non -violent enviromment for his family. 
Hey, you didn't see that, did you? What you were able to identify was the aggression in the woman and not her need for quality home life.  Again, it's illogical on your part to even consider that the nice innocent looking girl down the road, that you left me to marry, could not turn out to be a killing machine herself.  You didn't realise that, did you?  Of course not, and that's beyond me if you'd leave somebody just because they warned you of their need for a peaceful and harmonious married life.  Whatever happened to the saying  the 'Devil you know is better than the angel you don't know', I wonder!! Warning you about aggressive behaviour is to deter you from actually doing it especially, if the person is a 'HELL' bent control freak that batters a woman in order to show he can assert control and authority as a 'man'.  However, such behaviour can only lead to one thing - stopping you in your tracks for good and that would be the end of her nightmare as you'd never come back again to hurt her and the children!
As for your query about my darling husband, it only confirms my assumptions about you - that you are 'a violent and aggressive man' with perhaps, entrenched violent behaviour that no DEGREE of Counselling/therapy could help and I'm sorry for the woman that would end up with you!  Because, you are certain you can not change, that's why you are quite concerned you might end up with a woman that might not tolerate any form of violence from you and thus, give you as good as she gets.

Well, this lady does not tolerate that kind of SH-T, in or out of a relationship. You see, 'Respect' begets 'Respect.'  My husband has not given me any reasons, not to respect him.  All the time we'd been married, he'd never laid a finger on me and wouldn't dream of it let alone cheating on me and, men like that, have no respect whatsoever for their women and therefore, deserve the extreme anger of a woman scorned. I hope they learn their lessons from what's happening to other people.[/b]

All these yada yada yada is becoming boring.

1. You said that your 6 or more brothers beat the hell out of you as a child and abused you. That is why I am not surprised at the level of bile in you. Brothers usually protect their sisters and it's strange to see a family where the boys beat their sisters to the point of damaging their emotional balance. The anger in you in what is making you paranoid, There is nothing like the devil you know in this situation because you wouldn't invite a stranger that threatens to shoot you at the middle of the night should you provoke him. Something is not right here and I think you need to seek professional help so that God can deliver you from this problem. You fall into the same category of those that suffered abuse from their dad etc.

2. Many men that beat women did not learn it from anybody. In the same way, women that beat men did not learn it from anybody. All those children that grow up to become armed robbers, 419 or ashawo did not learn it from your parents. Pray tell your son will not find himself in the company of a bitter woman who may not hesitate to use her gun this time around because your son cheated on her or better still provoked her.

3. I am an angry woman beater. Telling you that it's unhealthy to think of murdering your fellow human being makes me a woman beater?. I don't care what the person did, even if he raped, murdered your child, used your husband for juju etc. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TAKE A LIFE NO MATTER HOW SMALL AND I DON'T CARE WHAT THE PERSON DID TO YOU. grin . Just like you figured that I am a woman beater, i do think you've murdered someone before and that's why the word murder sounds like 'time out" to you.

[b]Well, if you are frightened of your life, RESPECT WOMEN, period! Then, you won't have your life flash in your face, you better know that before it's too late for you.  My son would never put himself in a precarious situation with a woman - where did he learn that?  It's evident that, 'CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY SEE ADULTS DO', obviously, you are ignorant of that fact.  Goes to show how illogical you are when you pose these questions, I quote 'Many men that beat women did not learn it from anybody.  In the same way, women that beat men did not learn it from anybody. All those children that grow up to become armed robbers, 419 or ashawo did not learn it from your parents'. 

Pity you still haven't hark it, have you  Children learn these things from adults/events around them, ok!  That is, observing violence, threats, intimidation, name calling etc and now as ADULTS, these traits are manifesting themselves because, they were exposed to them and never learned how to control their emotions in childhood therefore, they lash out at whoever upsets them that's how they learn it, ok!!! 

You said I have murdered someone before well, don't you know that?? 
Yoooooooooou!!!!! And I wouldn't hasitate to do it all over again, if someone like you continue to physically, emotionally and psychologically abuse me, they'd be game - no quelms! So, RESPECT!  As for needing professional help, if the wife batterer himself doesn't need help who else?  You are the one doing the battering, and imagine the lady being battered seeking professional help, that's wonderful.lol!!!!!

Anyway, the message is: DON'T HURT ME, I WON'T HURT YOU either. RESPECT!!!
