Imagine a woman who was forced into marriage to someone she does not really have feelings for all in the name of culture. She has almost nothing in common with her husband who demeans her , beats her mercilessly quite often, refuses to let her have a say in the upbringing of their children or family finances and treats her as if she is less than human. Yet this abusive husband eats her delicious food , enjoys her body and lives off her hard work. She runs to her politically correct relatives who advice her to go back and make the marriage work. Each time she goes back , the beating becomes more merciless and her husband becomes ten times more harsh and wicked to her. When she decides to fight back and defend herself , in the process breaking his head, the whole community rises up against her and scold her for protecting herself and children. So tries to run away but there is no where to go to.

Is this is not how the Igbos have been treated in Nigeria. They have been forced into an arranged marriage by enemies and against her wish. Her people are massacred, denied the presidency for countless years, economically deprived , insulted and ridiculed on a daily basis. Yet the abusvie husband ( Nigeria ) enjoys her oil, gas, entrepreneurship and fruits of her handwork, while at the same time treating her like s.hit. When she tries to defend herself she is called a terrorist, rebel, bigot and many more unmentionable words. When she demonstrates unarmed to cry out against injustice, she is mowed down with machine gun fire and her warm blood soaks the ground as a testimony to the wickedness of her husband. She wants to run away but her husband and his minions refuse to let her go.

Tell me Nairalanders how should the Igbos deal with this abusive relationship ?

A picture speaks a thousand words.
