Women will so take advantage on men for this...

I don't quite agree with you. Which woman will bear to have her husband jailed for two years while she solely caters for the family responsibilities?
When it comes to family affairs, many negative issues (including incest) are swept under the carpet on the basis of forgiveness and protecting the family name.

Women will abuse this law. Rather than create a wonderful society, this law would worsen it.

Women cannot be trusted with so much privileges.

Why can't we just criminalize domestic violence rather than focusing on men?

Countries with laws like this have witnessed an increase in women violence against men.

Just 2 years though it's a good development but a bit too small I wish they increase it to minimum 4 years with no fine option and no bail term in few years time. Obaseki thanks for that.

If you cant stand a woman don't go near a woman. Simple as that.

It should’ve been gender neutral. What about women who assault their husbands?

EQUALITY IN THIS SOCIETY MEANS WOMEN GOING FREE FOR CRIMES MEN WOULD USUALLY BE PENALIZED FOR.

If your wife fvcks up in Edo state, no qualms at all. Just take her on a baecation to another state most especially this period, beat her blue black to your satisfaction and return back to your aboard.

After all, you didn't beat her in Edo statelipsrsealed

Please my people it is the last days for APC and just like the devil they will kick they will bite they will manufacture documents, doctor tapes ,videos and so on just to get our sympathy, but do not be dismayed, the killings in Benue will and must cease after February 16, we shall remove the same man who his own wife told us is no longer in charge of his Government, a man who's wife revealed to us that only two men hijacked his Government, and urged the youths to rise up in a revolution, that man is who we are sending back to Daura to rest in peace.

A vote for Atiku is a show of strength in our power to defeat evil, to kick out incompetence anytime we want, and to prove to them that the actual power belongs to us.

God bless Waziri Atiku Abubakar on his victory
God bless our 'China' man Okwute Peter Obi.
God bless the PDP

HOW ABOUT HUSBAND BEATERS?
Can't you read?
The bill's title is violence against Person.
Re: Wife Beaters In Edo To Be Jailed For 2 Years As Governor Signs Bill Into Law. by Zither(m): 1:05pm On Feb 14, 2019
The bill is meant to punish any person (male or female) who carries out violence against the other party (male or female). The law is neither discriminatory nor gender-biased; it is all-encompassing. Nice one, Governor Obaseki.

The only thing is that wife beaters will be at the receiving end of this law by nature of who the African man is.

EmmyBlogs:
The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has signed the Violence Against Persons (VAP) Bill into law, to address all forms of violence and protect vulnerable members of the society.

Obaseki, who signed the bill in Government House, Benin City, on Tuesday, said he was aware that the bill touches on fundamental practices among the people, assuring that he was not only signing the bill as a formality, but will ensure it is implemented to the letter.

“We will not stop here by just signing the bill into law, but will commence the much difficult work of implementing it to the letter. It must be noted that this bill has been in consideration for over six to eight years but the time has come for us to have a law like this VAP Law, to protect the most vulnerable and weak in our society.

All these idiotic American wonna-bes in Nigeria must tread very carefully. This is how American society has been turned into a decadent bunch. It is a moronic move to turn the head of African family into a woman affair.

Some women will take advantage of this to be more disrespectful. But to avoid the 2 yrs jail some men will take their wives away from Edo and beat her in another state then bring her back to Edo. Shikena

On the contrary, it is a welcome move to curb the rate of violence against a spouse as is prevalent in African homes. While the law is all-inclusive it has come to the aid of the vulnerable in a marital union the bulk of which constitutes the female gender. It is a highly welcome development. This is a step in the right direction of attacking the ill of violence against persons in a society and should be adopted by the other states of the federation.

This is nonsense! I'm not defending wife beaters, but what if a woman drives a man over the edge deliberately with the aim of getting the man to beat her just to see the man jailed for it?! This will give vindictive women with unbriddled, caustic tongues so much joy.

My people these are the people on the other side who are benefitting from this lifeless Government, so why would they want the status quo to change since it suits them, as far as they are OK they believe everyone is OK as well. We Nigerians have agreed to vote Atiku abubakar so you better start looking flag for another job cos your BMC work has come to an end.
