Interesting piece. The Poster pretends to blame Women for Domestic when infact, he/she has wrongly assumed that ONLY MEN perpetuate Domestic Violence! This is where the Hypocrisy of women comes-in. Domestic Violence is when One Spouse abuses the other Spouse, the Victim can be the Husband or the Wife (Male or Female). we have seen many Women poison their husbands, we have seen those who stab Husbands to death in his sleep, we have seen those who drug their Husbands and then mutilate his manhood, before killing him, we have seen those who use Hot iron on their husband, to kill him in his sleep, the list is endless, so it is not a "Male issues", it can involve either of the Spouses. Having set the records straight, we need to look and go beyond this "blame game", to trace the origins of the problem. In my own opinion, Nigeria has become an even more, very violent society. Most Nigerians are a walking, ticking time-bomb, through no-fault of theirs. I had a discussion with some Friends on why everyone in Nigeria seems to get angry and violent, at the very little upset, things that can be overlooked and after much deliberations, we identified a few things: The Environment: NOISE: Almost everywhere you go in Nigeria, you are inundated with very LOUD NOISE! If not from somebody trying to sell 'Snake Oil' to the Public, using a Mobile Public Address System (PAS), it will be someone playing loud Music to attract attention to what they are selling! Inside Buses, you will hear Hawkers on top of their voices, while everyone struggles to be heard over such Noises, Churches and Mosques are not left out, they blare their sermons at unholy hours, irrespective of whether we are interested in the rubbish they are saying. In some Streets, Mechanics are banging, Iron bender is banging, Pepper Grinding Machines are whirling-away, someone is hammering-away at something and the whole environment is choked with NOISE! At the end of the day, Nigerians have become "very loud" because everyone is trying to overcome "environmental Noise", in order to get heard. SLEEP DEPRIVATION; Nigerians, especially those in the Urban areas, do not have good enough sleep. From the repeated blaring PAS NOISE of Mosques in the early Morning, as early as 4am, to the overnight NOISE of Churches doing Night Vigil, Sunday Service, Nigerians are being deprived of a good sleep. Deprivation of Sleep is TORTURE, according to Medical Science and the United Nations Code on the Rule of Engagement in War. Anyone deprived of sleep over a long time will eventually get MAD and it is not an insult to say majority of Nigerians are MAD and that explains the level of Violence in our Society. Now , when a potentially Mad Man, marries a mad Woman, to not expect Violence in such coming together, will take the Grace of God. So, before we start blaming men, we should also acknowlege that Women are also prone to domestic violence. With the massive number of "Mad Nigerians" entering into marriage, it becomes unrealistic to advice a Spouse to dump the other, at the slightest sign of Violence! Chances are that the next Spouse and the one after that, will show the same "Mad" tendencies. So, will you keep changing one for the other, until you reach Menopause? But the violence has different levels. What we need to do is identify and understand what triggers the "violence" in our Spouse and device clever ways to deal with it. Some are alcohol-energised (They happen only when the man is drunk). In such situations, counselling the Spouse to avoid Alcohol, , is the best method to contain his Violence. For some, it is nagging by a Spouse that triggers their Violence, In such case, the other Spouse needs to avoid nagging their Spouse, because it is a form of Verbal violence as well. In this 'broke economy' of Nigerians, nagging a bread winner who has lost his job and calling him unprintable names will or attacking his manhood, will only tigger his Violence and you only have yourself to blame. For some, it is Cheating on their Spouse that triggers the Violence. It is best to stay single if you know you cannot do without multiple sex partners between your legs. You cant eat your cake and still want it. In essence, the Violence itself is largely environmental and ubiquitous, there is nothing anyone can do about that. What we should focus on, is how to avoid what TRIGGERS the Violence. Many people have said "My Spouse was aan Angel when we were dating and before we got married, now s/he is worse than the Devil". Well, Courtship is not likely to set-up the TRIGGER, because you see each other sparingly, are committed to not flicking the Trigger of each other and are generally more accommodating of each other's weakness. And YES, when everything fails, it is advisable to go on a HIATUS from each other, not with the aim to profiteer from the situation but to see whether distance and time can reinvigorate the commitment that would ensure we dont set-off the TRIGGER that leads to Violence in our Spouses. 1 Like |

considering the possibility of a child especially a male child turned adult; now projecting and repeating same spousal abusive pattern of his father at whateva degree of provocation causing him to infantize his woman, then such likely outcome could shapen d kid into becoming either the ego-flaring, aka mr correction imbibed kind of mould or the silent treatment & ignoring kind of mould. Age & logical inquisiveness of the kid exposed to dz ugly wife-beating scenary matters a lot. If d kid's logical capability could discern why mom always apologizes pehaps for peace to reign in d house again & become some few weeks obedient to his mr correction dad after each bout of couples fight. the kid may deduced dat, ok mom offended, then she probably got what came to her. Such kid usually had some special pre-existing rapport wid his dad esp. if d kid from day1 aims to please him a lot. Buh if d kid could watch his mom in her pitiful & gory state wid neigbors peepin, she's feeble & dad is violent begets a diff kind too. 1 Like |

Rubyjade:In Nigeria it could be murder, But in the US and other developed parts of the world even South Africa, it’s always self defense as long as they are able to proof that the woman was been battered by the man. I have seen a lot of documentaries on Domestic violence in these countries and sometimes becomes fatal when the women defend themselves but they are always freed on the basis of self defense. I don’t know if you know Charlize Theron, she’s a popular actress in Hollywood, Her mother killed her father while she was been battered by the man, the man brought out a shot gun and was going to kill the woman and Charlize, somehow the woman disarmed him after struggling with him and shot him dead. This happened in South Africa. She was arrested but The court found her innocent based on Self defense. |

Rubyjade: I am talking from experience. That is why you will see a man reporting his wife, and her mother will be like, "but where did she learn that nonsense from?" Some brothers may not even know that their sisters are capable of using some of the words they use on their husbands. They hide these characters from their parents, siblings, and pastors. 3 Likes |

Ishilove: The first subject; I doubt. Na why I say e still dey tentative . It's the part of "shim" being in love with lilvicky I no get. Why are you so certain buda is male? At what point did* you know? If you can understand how Buda presents himself for a lot of people to still think he's female, you'll understand for Kobo too. Because if you say kobo argues a great deal "like a woman" and comment on the food thread, does buda not argue without ceasing too and talk about cooking? Kobo that said he wanna see the nekkid pictures of the Miss Nigeria contestants. There's also another reason I strongly believe he's male sha, but I won't say. And for the other two variables as well. |

Kobojunkie: She didn't mention anything about domestic violence affecting both genders, before going ahead to be specific about the gender she's trying to address. A writer should not just focus on a specific detail without giving the readers an idea of the group from which he\she decided to pick an area to focus on. When this is not done, the writeup creates an impression that only the author's focus area or perspective exist even if the author is correct in his\her assertion. I didn't say the op was wrong, just biased in the writeup. |
Re: Domestic Violence Is An Accepted Nigerian Epidemic by Kobojunkie: 1:08pm On Mar 16, 2022 |
Benee1000:What hogwash? A writer is not under any such obligations . If you want to focus on domestic violence against both genders, create another thread where you do just that. |
