Ok Guys! Calm down and please don’t go about punching.
This is not in any way to suggest that punching a girl is not an abuse. Gender
bias? Ok – babes be mindful too. Even our subtly hitting of a guy’s chest when
we are in love and they just won’t get it might just be termed as an
abuse. Well I don’t want to exaggerate
but abuse has been fantastically and corruptibly justified these days. She hit
me first he said – Charlatan!
Abuse is abuse and there is the general perception
that a man or woman have to hit you for it to be termed abuse. Someone said in
his phony yankee accent ‘I hit her yea but errrm erm I didn’t do any damage to
her body – I couldn’t close my mouth but I managed to murmured his deserved
comments in my native language ‘Oloshi,
Oloriburuku”. Well it has to be inaudible and in my native language. It is
being cerebral. I can’t afford any damage to my fine face
Get it - if you ever thought to hit or have attempted
to hit, before you came to your senses or your senses came to you. You need
help and urgently. And if you are the victim or the potential victim, start
running. Please run like ‘kunta kinte’ in Roots. Ok he was caught. Please run
like Forrest Grump.
So I saw this statistics one of those days I was
carelessly going through random stuff. A university don did a research on 1.5m
people that was abused and he said 96% of those cases were emotionally abused
and only 4% have been physically abused. It immediately dawn on me. So does
that mean Titi, Chika, Tola, Hauwa, Ayo and even I have been abused
emotionally????
We all know about domestic abuse, rape and all other
forms of physical abuse. It’s quite appalling that a lot of these cases seem to
be coming up these days with even gory details that send shivers down your spine.
In all this there is a worse form of abuse going
around today and if not curbed, could be more dangerous than physical
abuse. Emotional Abuse!!!!!!!
