walk against domestic violence organized by wife of the Ooni of Ife,
Olori Wuraola Ogunwusi last week, Tonto said that there was no excuse under the face of the earth that God has created
that a man should put a hand on his woman. Read what she said in full after cut…
“I think the one issue that actually births the high rate of domestic
violence is the fact that we are not talking about it enough. It is the
fact that the society is shaming us when we talk about it. So we rather
not talk about it, we rather keep it on a hush hush until it is worse.
This awareness will create so many…I am sure a lot of men now will be
scared to beat their wives now because this awareness is no joke, there
are heavyweights here. It is not about ridiculing men like I always say.
It is to make us a better person. It is to make our homes better.
Nobody is saying run out of your homes. I am not preaching divorce. I am
preaching that you speak out. because your life matters. Your
children’s lives matter and your husband’s life matters. I don’t think
there is any excuse under the face of the earth that God has created
that a man should put a hand on his woman. No! There are other options.
You can walk away. You can calm down. You can go for therapy. There is
so many options than hitting a woman”.
