Social Media, Cheating Men, and 21st C. Nigerian Women

Abiodun Kuforiji Nkwocha

(Abiodun Kuforiji Nkwocha- Saninews) - Dear men, this is how to commit adultery

Do men realise just how much the world has changed?
Sometimes I don’t think they do.
In our society, shame has always been a tool used to oppress women. To make them hide injustice because they do not want to be labelled. Women get raped and keep quiet because saying someone had sex with her, albeit forcefully, is always to their shame. Nothing can take away that she was penetrated and the defilement is hers.
No one wants to be labelled a slut. Women hid ‘vices’ like drinking and smoking because if they ever did that openly, they would be labelled. Don’t forget that people will tell them that these things will reduce their ‘wife material’.
Slowly things are changing. 
Women are getting tired of keeping quiet. Women are tired of the hypocritical labelling that allows only men to do certain things.
If you are on Facebook, then you may have come across instances where women have exposed men (especially married men) that hound their inboxes swearing to be single and wanting to marry them.
Men jump from one inbox to another leaving a trail of their mess like goat droppings everywhere. They bank on the albatross around the necks of Nigerian women -the one that makes them keep quiet.
