Here’s Why Celebrity Mum, Tiwa Savage Has Called Men Cowards
Nigerian queen of Afro-pop, Tiwa Savage has lent her voice to the plight of women in a new Instagram post. The mum-of-one bared her thoughts saying “no man can handle the heartbreak and pains faced by women on a daily basis.” This past one week has been a true eye-opener as to how Nigerian women endure all types of abuse and barely have a safety net in a largely patriarchal country like Nigeria.
Firstly, it was the news of mum-of-three, Busola Dakolo’s alleged rape as a youngster by her pastor and mentor, then came the confessions of several other women confessing their sexual trauma and abuse that had haunted them for ages, only for CCTV footage to emerge of the youngest serving senator in Nigeria, newly-elected Senator Elisha Abbo viciously slapping and bullying a nursing mother at an intimacy gadget store, for no concrete reason.
Tiwa took to her Instastory to share the following words:
“No man, I repeat no man can handle the heartbreak, the pain, women go through on a daily basis.
Let’s not even start with labour pains or raising a child.
And you can’t love and protect her. SHAME ON YOU men abusing, raping, and everything else una Dey do …
You are physically stronger than us. SHAME ON YOU COWARDS”
