Oloshoism: Definition, Types, Problems and WayForrward by Newnas(m): 8:15am On Jul 28, 2019 |
This morning I came across a tweet (see screenshot below). Although, the writer claimed to be joking, I believe the message in it is strong. I believe it's a glorification of oloshoism. WHAT IS OLOSHOISM Oloshoism, as a friend once explained to me, is : A woman takes the role of a wife in a man's life. In fact she even follows him to his family house during festivals.However, she does that for the money he gives her and no other reason attached. In other words, oloshoism is an advanced form of prostitution. It is valorised prostitution. An Olosho is a pseudo-wife. She is only a wife as long as the money continues flowing. She has no interest in the integrity, honesty or whatever values of the man, she isn't even concerned about his handsomeness. She's only after money. TYPES OF OLOSHOs I believe that OLOSHOs can be classified into three: Conscious and unconscious OLOSHOs. Conscious OLOSHOs These are the ones who have taken oloshoism as a profession. It's their main source of income. Many of them may parade themselves as actresses, models, singers, choir members etc. They only use those jobs as cover up and advertisement of their merchandise. You see them baring cleavage and thighs at the least opportunity. Unconscious OLOSHOs These ones think they love. In fact some of them may even get married. But once the money isn't flowing again you just see that the love has disappeared. They don't believe in "for better for worse". An example, I believe, is the tweet below. PROBLEMS OF OLOSHOISM Oloshoism poses many threats to our society. Unfortunately, we take it for granted. Below are some effects of Oloshoism on individuals and society: 1- Deterioration of the marriage institution. This leads to broken and dysfunctional homes. Once the home is broken, the nation is broken. 2- Loss of feminity. A woman is naturally caring, emotional and soft (physically and mentally). However, Oloshoism kills this aspect of her. This is why it's easy for many to dump babies in sewages. 3- Objectification of women. Once men discover that most women are only after their money, they'll treat the women as sex tools. Use-and-dump baby mamas come to mind here. 4- Spread of STDs. The only sure protection against STD is abstinence. The next is loyalty. 5- Irrational decisions advices. An Olosho's advise for her partner will only be based on money. If there's any decision that won't fetch her money she won't support her 'husband' on it even if it's the best. 6- Corruption and Crime. OLOSHOs push their clients to any extent in other to make money. And they call this motivation and encouragement. Please note that cultists, drug abusers and thieves also 'encourage and motivate' their prospects. This is why their clients are usually Yahoo boys, corrupt politicians and drug peddlers. 7- Increase in Bimbos. Oloshos are only concerned about developing their seductive skills and parts of the body. They do not have interest in intellectual development. Their only goal in life is to remain sexy. Of course, men love to be satisfied in bed but not many wish to spend the rest of their life with a bimbo. Increase in Oloshoism means decrease in intellectual women as more women will continue to spend hours and days on make ups and surgery just to remain sexy. I can go on listing the evils of Oloshoism on our society. However, I'll stop here. OVER TO YOU How do you think we can solve this menace of Oloshoism? Questions, additions and objections are also welcomed. 5 Likes

No doubt, it’s a menace and a scourge that needs uprooting, but as the economical terms states “ The demand determines the supply” When the demand for sex is high, the supply would also equate it... Have we stopped to think that this young ladies and future mothers would be useful if we stopped patronizing what they tend to sell to us?(their bodies) If we shun promiscuity and stick our wives and girlfriends, there won’t be a market for them, hence reducing their appeal to the barest minimum |

There wouldn't be oloshos if there was no demand for them nor complying parties. 1 Like |

Magnoliaa: Agreed. Unfortunately, it’s a matter of low self esteem in men to pay for sex. Are Nigeria is teeming with men who lack confidence in their abilities to woo a lady 1 Like |

Magnoliaa: This is a desperate and flimsy attempt to beg the question. No one here ever said sex is the problem. What we're saying is that sex isn't a commodity that should be advertised and sold. Now, question for you: Are you a sex vendor? |
Re: Oloshoism: Definition, Types, Problems and WayForrward by Newnas(m): 12:43pm On Oct 18, 2019 |
Magnoliaa: While there's element of truth in what you've said, we can't also deny the fact that availability and accessibility increases demand. Do you not see that NDLEA doesn't only arrest weed smokers, rather it also arrests weed farmers and sellers. |
Re: Oloshoism: Definition, Types, Problems and WayForrward by Magnoliaa(f): 12:48pm On Oct 18, 2019 |
Newnas: That is what the post is about. Incessant sex and the trading of it destroying the society, washing away 'values.' And I told you it's been around since ages. The society didn't break down because of it. Why can it not be a commodity? Men demand for sex, women offer it. Who are you addressing here, who should you be 'preaching' to? But sex sells. Whether you're against that or not. And people sell and buy it well. Who are those engaging in it? |
Re: Oloshoism: Definition, Types, Problems and WayForrward by Magnoliaa(f): 12:58pm On Oct 18, 2019 |
Newnas: Sure, I'm not denying that. But let's look at things wholly here. If there was never a choice/craving, the availability of something will not make you choose it. There's so much sand on the Earth, but do you eat it? One affects the other, and it's very ... I don't know, bringing out one aspect of a situation, and saying it is the cause of it? Everything factor in here and blend together. Scarcity, demand, choice, supply, etc. 1 Like 1 Share |

Magnoliaa: Firstly the post isn't about incessant sex. It's about prostitution. It's about how virtually every young girl has turned prostitution into a full-time or part-time 'hustle'. It's about explaining the evils of such trend on the individuals themselves, then the society at large. And I told you it's been around since ages. Firstly Yes, prostitution has been around since ages but I can't recollect any phase in history where virtually every young girl in the society takes prostitution as a full-time or part-time 'hustle' -at a global scale. You can tell me one if you have. Secondly, the fact that an act has been around for ages doesn't justify it. I believe that's self explanatory. I've explained those in the article. Check the section about the evils of oloshoism. Men demand for sex, women offer it. Thanks for tacitly accepting that women are the ones selling sex. Some 21st sextury apologetics always tried to claim that men and women play the same role in the sex market. In this article I'm addressing the sellers, I hope I'll have time to address the buyer's in a future post. But sex sells. Whether you're against that or not. And people sell and buy it well. So many things sell, Mon Ami; weed, child pornography, fake drivers license, human body parts. We shouldn't be like goats that have only three senses; hunger, sex and danger (from predator). We shouldn't slaughter our intellect on the alter of desires. We have seen many perish due to this. Examples aboundnin the hospitals, mortuary, police stations and prisons. Bye for now. |

Dear OP, i think you should also write about Male prostitutes who have enough money to buy female sexual services every now and then. All this Rich corporate guys Tony Elumelu etc even though being married has ladies they go on business trips with. Their wives are even aware. It's normal for them. |

truthsayer009: I hope to write something on that too soon. In fact, I'd be glad to share useful comments on a thread that discusses the issue. Thanks. |

Newnas: That's truly your intention for posting? You have the desire of really addressing and changing this societal norm? Ok. FirstlyGood luck addressing the ill then. Secondly, the fact that an act has been around for ages doesn't justify it. I believe that's self explanatory.I never said that. What I said was that the society didn't break down because of prostitution, if not we wouldn't be here today. I've explained those in the article. Check the section about the evils of oloshoism. Felt to me like your post was just to bash and shame women, like always while leaving men. I'll be waiting for the one you'll post on men. Tag me when you do. Thanks for tacitly accepting that women are the ones selling sex. Some 21st sextury apologetics always tried to claim that men and women play the same role in the sex market. Some sell it and some are forced to sell it. In this article I'm addressing the sellers, I hope I'll have time to address the buyer's in a future post. You hope ke? Which time you don't have? You must! As you've spoken to the sellers now, you must likewise speak to the buyers else... That's the only way to address and begin changing the norm. So many things sell, Mon Ami; weed, child pornography, fake drivers license, human body parts. But the people complaining about oloshoism don't address these issues most of the time. They don't. We shouldn't be like goats that have only three senses; hunger, sex and danger (from predator). I agree, and I still say that women are only a part of it. I noticed you're using 'we' now to like appeal to me and public, just so I can agree with you, see reasons - general things that applies to humans and our/my emotions lol. Or I'm just reading a different meaning into it. When it's time for bashing, people single out women, but when it's time for praises and the likes they dish it to everyone. Bye for now. Bye, too. Hope to see you and your post soon. |
