‘Run For Your Life, For Your Children’s Sake….It’s Worse When He Beats You While You Are Pregnant’ – Laura Ikeji on Domestic Violence
Two days ago, Fashion blogger and business woman Laura Ikeji, who recently got engaged to the younger brother of football legend and star, Kano Nwankwo, took to her Instagram page in two posts, to plead with ladies not to succumb to the expectations of society and go into rushed marriages, or endure in silence when they find themselves in abusive marriages.
Read her note below:
“Pls my fellow ladies, marriage isn’t By force!!! We need to stop marrying because of the society. Don’t be in a domestic violent marriage, stop thinking the idiot would stop beating you, violent people don’t change, if he hit you once, he would do it again. You still don’t wanna leave because of what society might say? Leave!!!! You silly woman. Run for your life, for your children’s sake, for the future of your children. It’s worse when he beats you while you are pregnant. Gosh, God will punish any man that puts his hand on a pregnant woman. You shall be useless for life. RIP pretty lady. You should have left last year like you said you were. F₩#@k society. They know nothing. Marriage is not by force. Don’t marry him cos instagram is disturbing you on when to marry. Stupid unhappy people constantly reminding you of your biological clock”
“Instagram pls stop begging women to go back to bad marriages. Women are dying everyday from domestic violence. Stop complaining about how much you bought asoebi and help these women get out of danger. “
