Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, who was one of the celebrities who marched against domestic violence alongside the Ooni of Ife’s wife, had something to say about domestic violence when interviewed by GoldmyneTV while on the march.
According to Tonto Dikeh whose marriage to her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill on grounds of domestic violence amidst other allegations, said there is no excuse under the face of the earth that God has created, for a man should put a hand on his woman.
The actress and mother of one said;
Quote
“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”.
BT INSIDE THE FACE OF THE EARTH U CAN TELL LIES AND INSULT UT ELDERS ONES AND EVEN THROW WICKED AND BASELESS ACCUSATION ON THEM?! OLODORABATA!! THT YR WEED IS TOO CHEAP GET A BETTER ONE FRM A DIFFERENT SUPPLY. TELL YR GANG MAKE UNA GO BAF U CNT REMOVE A SPECK FRM OTHER OTHER PEOPLES EYES WHEN U HV A LOG INSIDE YR OWN.

Nollywood prostitute go get a life. This is Africa and we have our customs and tradition, don't be deceived by what the whites are preaching about not beating women because they too used to treat women even worst. It is not because they have changed that they must influence us to follow their ways. So stop all this preaching because u are simply wasting your time, we will continue the beatings because even in the jungle other animals are submissive to the lion because it is the most powerful . so women too must be submissive to men to avoid beating. Those who want to challenge a man or bring the western culture here in Africa like u, must be dealt with mercilessly.
