A young lady identified as Isabella Ibeji posted a video of a woman who married at 19 on youtube where she revealed her reasons for hating men.
In the video, Ibeji narrated how she met the lady and some other women when she was on a courtesy visit to where they were situated.
Ibeji revealed that these ladies who got married at 18 and 19 were forced into marriage at that age. They went through a lot in their marriages and this had led to the hatred they now feel towards them.
They went through a lot in their marriages and this had led to the hatred they now feel towards them.
In the video, She narrated that: “I was with four ladies yesterday who had something in common, they’d gotten married too soon, too early and two of them have been chased out of their homes while the other two hate their husbands with passion, one of them is the breadwinner so she says her husband had no say in their home.
The lady lying down was sent out or her husband’s house after he got rich, she gave birth to two boys before she was sent packing, before she was sent packing the husband impregnated a woman older than she was and brought her home, this older woman has kids who she, in turn, brought to her new husband’s house.
The other lady has just one girl, while the one screaming she hates men has four kids, she says she hasn’t enjoyed love-making for one day that the husband only makes love with her to impregnate her.”
Isabella further added saying: “The other lady says she doesn’t respect her husband anymore so she does with him as she pleases.
“They were all trying to convince me how men are scum and shouldn’t be handled with soft hands, in my heart I wept, my father wasn’t scum to my mother, my brother isn’t scum to his girlfriend, no man has ever treated me like scum, how do I convince these women that they have a share of the blame too? I sat there consoling these ladies crying, look at me in my 20’s consoling women old enough to birth me.
Marriage isn’t a do or die affair, I have heard mockery statements about how Ibo women don’t marry early because they like to hustle and make money, but these early marriage traits are rampant amongst Ibo women, it is a thing of pride to see their daughters get married early and also give birth early, this doesn’t mean only Ibo women are guilty, far from it, it has become a general issue; it might have worked for our ancestors but we live in different times now”
