Domestic Violence Against Men

Image
Domestic violence (also named domestic abuse or family violence) is violence or other abuse in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence takes different forms which are Physical, emotional, sexual and even mental abuse. When we think about domestic violence victims immediately our minds go to Women and Children, but it seems that we tend to neglect the third victim - Men. Why do we do this? We see a man as the head, the one who couldn't possibly be abused by a female because females are 'inferior'. And men who are abused find it hard to report it 'cause it is not normal or unheard of for a man to be abused. He is termed weak, not man enough.  According to research 576,000 men (2.5% men) and 1.2 million (4.8% women) were victims of partner abuse in 2018/19 equating to a ratio of two female victims to every one male victim. (Source www.mankind.uk.org) In 2018/19 – 16 men (80 women) were killed at the hands of their current or ex-partner. A...

Teenage Mothers

     Hello everyone, I know I've been AWOL for sometime now. Bear with me, I've been busy with my studies.     Today we go into the world of teenage mothers. Most of these girls are mothers as a result of different circumstances most of which is a result of rape or the neglect of their respective parents who do not educate their children properly. Apart from schools impacting in the morals of children, the family has a huge role to play. Teens are advised to abstain from sex, in a religious view sex before marriage is a sin. If by chance they do not abstain from sex they are also advised to use protections which is also not 100% guaranteed to prevent pregnancy. We are privileged to have a teenage mother with us today. I am for one grateful to her for agreeing to allow me interview her. Her name and that of her child would not be disclosed for personal reasons.   Hello, thank you for agreeing to do this. Do you mind telling us a bit about yourself? My name is anonymous,I am 18...

Alien Invasion

     The aliens they came about a month ago, when it started nobody paid attention to it. It started out with young girls between the age of 12- 16 disappearing, the police initially thought it was a serial kidnapper on the loose but the parents of the girls never got any phone calls. Then we started seeing strange crop circles, people started getting agitated they protested in front of the mayor's office to know what was happening but no information was given to the public. People started guessing, rumours were spreading, Old man Jenkins said he saw a UFO last night, lady Hamilton said she saw a bright light coming from the sky and little girls were in that light floating upwards but no one paid attention to their ramblings they were just old, lonely folks. "What do they know? " People mocked but they didn't know what was coming next. Strange space ships were seen landing on different parts of the world, they had interfered with our electrical systems, they broadcast...

Religion In Nigeria

Image
As we know there are three main religions in Africa: Islamic,Christianity, and Traditional Religion Today our focus is on Christians. Here in Nigeria there are large amounts of churches both big and small. You can see them in open spaces or in little shops, but no matter where they are located there are always members which of course is a good thing 'where two or three are gathered in His name he is there'. But let's talk about how religion has blinded the Christians in this part of the world. I've seen some alarming things in some "churches" like where a pastor tells his congregations to drink rat poison to show they have power over death. I for one find that absurd and the fact people followed his instructions alarming.  We black men take the words of our Pastors, Priests, evangelists and the likes as gold which of course is not bad but there are some things we are meant to stop and rethink.  Let's be frank some of our so called Pastors use us to make mo...
