'Although, the economy of Nigeria is tough, I am TOFA.'

BY YETUNDE AREBI
Okey Bakassi, one of Nigeria’s foremost comedians succinctly captured the way many men, and indeed, our society still perceive the issue of rape, one of man’s most dastardly acts against womanhood, In a video clip I saw last week, which was recorded at one of the Glo Lafta Fest events, Okey painted a scenario where two women, one married and the other single, went to report to the Police that they had been raped.

The married woman had been raped by her husband and the single lady by her boyfriend. His joke captured the typical reaction of our society to the two instances which caused the audience to roar with laughter.

The single lady especially had gone to the club on a date with her boyfriend and retired back to his apartment in the dead of night where he allegedly forced himself on her. The joke by inference meant that the Police, as well as the audience did not consider that a rape could take place under these two scenarios.

This means that a female could not be said to have been raped if she willingly placed herself in the domain of a man. It implies that once a girl is with a guy, especially one who has made a pass at the girl, it is most likely that sex must come into the picture, and that a girl must be prepared to give in to such a demand. Okey Bakassi’s joke appears to be in tandem with some of my readers’ views which I have published here today. Due to the sensitive and controversial nature of the issue, I have only used the initials of the writers to protect their identities as well as to encourage others to share their views and perhaps practical experiences.


forcing me for sex
There are many angles to rape. I hope to dwell on them in future publications. Please note that you can still share with me, your views on this topic or other previous issues discussed on this page. Remember to send to my e-mail box, if you want your contribution to be published in the newspaper. Do have a wonderful weekend!!

Dear Yetunde,

This is one of the problems women go through in the course of their existence. I want to reach out to all victims of rape who have experienced that primitive part of man which is animalistic, which they exhibit due to their inability to control the personality.

Rape can create a psychological problem which may last a lifetime. It could change or affect one’s outlook, views about life and one’s personality tremendously. It is imperative to say that the trauma of rape and its effect on an individual could to an extent be altered, but not in totality. This is so because it depends on how the victim adjust to the treatment being administered to her by her helper.

In this case the helper has to use his human resources to bring about this alteration of outlook, or negative attitude towards men which the victim needs in order to function well in the society. Also the change may not be in totality because the victim’s state of preparedness for sexual intercourse is nil coupled with the fact that most victims of rape are subjected to inhuman treatment which affects them tremendously.

I believe that a foundation that takes care of rape victims should be set up so that rape victims could work together and assist one another. I am contributing to the column because I was raped by my classmate too. He did it thinking he was going to go scot-free but I fought for myself in order to regain my pride. I am happy now because to some extent I’ve been able to prove to him that there are women who would take such matters as rape serious.

Dear Yetunde,

I want to contribute to the discussion on rape. I’m one of those who strongly believe that no woman can be raped by a friend, husband, relation or any man except by a gang or a group of people. I believe that many of them (women) want men to appear rough before they accept to engage in the act. In my own view, women or ladies don’t want to be labeled as prostitutes and as a result, they say no when they mean, yes!

It happened to me last year when I wanted to sit for my S.S.C.E exams. On getting to school that day, we learnt that the paper had been postponed and while I was chatting with this girl she said she didn’t want to go home early due to some reasons. So, I invited her to my house as my parents were not at home.

After a long discussion, as the “inevitable” was about to happen, she said no. After a long struggle, I decided to leave her to go home as I didn’t want to force her. If I had done that, she would have eventually succumbed, but I didn’t. The most annoying part of it was that after some weeks, she started calling me “Egbe”(novice or fool) in the presence of my friends and even my brothers because I didn’t in having my way. Since then, all efforts to get her proved abortive.

That is why I said many of them mean yes but they would say no. On the other hand, if I had forced her and had my way, she could have been complaining of rape. I still believe that no man can be accused of raping a woman in his own personal bedroom.

S.
Yetunde,

It is true that ‘rape’ exists but its interpretation differs among individuals. There can be no rape without violence. The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary defines rape as “forcing a woman or girl to have sexual intercourse against her will”, The underlying word is FORCE a lady to have sex. Ladies naturally do not usually agree to sex except with some kind of cajoling before they accept. Even the married ones are now claiming rape once they don’t get what they want from their husbands. It is a pity but that is what the men have been made to understand now.

Women in most cases, cause rape. The accounts of victims in this last edition was pathetic because there was no rape or rather one could say they deceived themselves by claiming to be victims. Can these ladies truly say that these male friends did not desire their bodies right from the beginning? It is understood that friendship between man and woman presupposes the secret act of sex. They desired “love” from the men, hence they visited them.

Men are often blamed for rape because people believe women rather than men. The orgy of sex affects both sexes but men naturally would be the first to demand it from women and try to lure them into it. The ladies these days flaunt their bodies intentionally to arouse the men, they provocatively swing their bodies and visit men in their homes or secluded areas, dressed seductively just to arouse them sexually, only to irritatingly say no when men approach them. I see it as punishment for men. I disagree with the notion that “rape can only be stopped by men”. Men are not the cause but women who use “mouse to set trap for the cat” knowing that the cat will enter the snare. Women rape the men (as the case may be) subtly and then turn around to cry foul.

However, there are also men who have lost their senses. They would deceive ladies and violently violate their bodies. They are criminals just like armed robbers, drug traffickers, murderers and the like. Ladies should dress sensibly and be conscious of their interactions while victims should report immediately to the police. The police know its duty in this respect. I will however like a situation where the public will be able to differentiate between true rape victim and a fake one who just gives herself to men and later cries wolf where it does not exist.

P.O
Dear Yetunde,

I have been following your articles for several years and I would like to commend the way you push forward your views. Rape is a controversial, intriguing and obnoxious act, which in reality is a non-existent malady. Although, many Nigerian ladies are of the opinion that rape exists, I have my reservations on the unwholesome act in modern day Nigeria. In fact, it is a mere fluke. Rape does not exist and can never occur unless on the following extreme factors.

Firstly, when a mature man forces an underage girl (say between the ages of 1-8 years) to have a carnal knowledge of her. Men commit this act mainly for ritual reasons. Of course, this is wickedness and any man who does this criminal act deserves death.

Secondly, when a mature lady is drugged, in which case she loses her consciousness thereby losing her ability to struggle with the man as a result of drug’s influence.

Thirdly, when a lady is under threat of physical attack or harmed with dangerous weapons such as gun, knife, etc.
Fourthly, when a number of hoodlums pounce on one lady and force her to bed one after another and against her wish. And of course, this is sheer madness.

Let us be sincere on this contemporary issue and recount situations whereby a wife or girlfriend says no to sexual advances from her man. The man applies all known diplomacy, then all conventional methods and tricks and lastly, engages her in a show of power, strength and struggle.

She then finally submits her body for the man. It knocks my head off my entire body hearing or reading stories from modern day ladies that they were raped when in fact they were not under threat of any kind. This is fallacy, white lie! Sheer hypocrisy.

It does not exist except on the above listed non-conventional approaches which ideally, are criminal offences against humanity. Invariably, no normal man can successfully force a normal and mature lady to bed, impossible. I don’t believe such baseless phenomenon. I am on this note challenging any lady who honestly has a genuine case to come up with such bitter experience or go to the law court.

Otherwise they should remain silent forever and stop deceiving themselves on trivial issues.
Thanks and God bless.

Ambode performed well below average. Though media hype has portrayed him as a performing governor. Taking a cursory look at Lagos, one can only link the governor to underperformance. For instance, since Ambode became governor, supply of water has become epileptic. Some areas in Lagos could only boast of 36hour water supply per week. Education under Ambode has experienced a free fall. You can imagine a condition where students of public schools in Lagos dont have teachers in major subjects like Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics for science students and Literature, CRK, History for art students. A ready example is Ajumoni secondary school in Iyana Isolo, Atunrase High school in Ishaga et cetera. Ambode has refused to conduct long overdue LG elections in Lagos bacause of fear of losing to the opposition. What about health? Lagos has lost it. Lagos is now dirtier courtesy Gov. Ambode.

Buy whatever makes u happy. Do u think a busy man with a good paying job has time to be manipulating his phone? Where it is Android, iPhone or Windows phone just get whatever makes u happy (if u can afford it). I used galaxy s6 for over a year and it is the best phone I have ever used (apart from the very poor battery life). I also have an iPhone 5s which is the most reliable responsive phone I've ever used. I sold my s6 3 days ago and decided to give Chinese phones a try.

Bought an Infinix hot s for 50k still kept some change from the sale of my s6. That is my first Chinese phone and oh boy I don't think I will ever buy a Chinese phone again. Upon all the hype about the camera , the camera is NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT especially in low light. The phone lags from time to time and the screen resolution is so wack compared to the s6 and iPhone 5s, screen fails to respond from time to time especially when pulling down the notification tray. I am going to use this phone for about a month and sell it get an iPhone 7 or galaxy s7 edge. Really if u can afford a high end phone just buy it and get a rest of mind.

Infinix is French not Chinese

Allow him to serve you the court summons then you meet him in court. Notice to Quit and an Owner's Intention to Apply to Recover Possession (otherwise called 7days notice) are two separate documents which should be served separately. From the snapshot, I can see he merged both the quit notice and 7days notice together. That is very wrong.

By the way, did you sign any tenancy agreement before you moved in? If so, did you read the terms of the agreement?

You are very right, imagine the lawyer does not even know that notice to quit and intention to recover possession are two different documents. I guess he is one of those old-school lawyers who wasn't privileged to take Practical lawyering skills while in school and he probably crammed to pass in law school. Well, in order not to be a "all-mouth" critic, I think the OP should check his tenancy agreement once more to see if there is the presence of the word TERM CERTAIN or not. Lawyers surely knows how to take advantage of loopholes. I can't wait to graduate!

Please save ur comment and face ur books.. or didn't u read abt d mass failure last year?


Show some respect for your senior colleague.

Well,let's forget the verbal tension. But i won't ignore the correction u made. Dollop head is a coinage for soft head i.e an idiot. The word dollop means a lump of soft food,so d "soft" in there was adapted and merged with head to be used as a disapproving word.I'm Temitope,currently a 400L law student of Adekunle Ajasin University,Akungba Akoko.i will like to meet you.pls introduce yourself.
