Thanks for lending your voice to this discussion.<br /><br />@ Anna Fani: It is pathetic! The orientation has to be right to make a lasting change.... I think I read the post about your colleague incident. Kai, I hope many will get life iimprisonment for offences of this nature in Nigeria.<br /><br />@ Beloved: I can imagine, the socialisation of girls and women in Nigeria make some behave the way they do when issues of violence is the case.

My own friend and colleague in Dubai was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat by her ex-bf outside her apartment after he'd stalked her for months. Her body has never been found. Can you believe after the guy was sentenced to 15 years in prison, he had the gall to appeal the sentence? Unfortunately for him, he pissed the magistrate off with this and his sentence was changed to life imprisonment!!!<br /><br />As women, we have to do better with standing up for ourselves and what is right. It is not written down anywhere that if you don't get/stay married or have children, that is the end of your life on earth. It is better to be single, happy and alive than married, miserable and battered or 6 feet under!<br /><br />http://www.workingwriterslife.com/2010/11/be-happy.html<br /><br />http://www.workingwriterslife.com/2010/11/be-happy-2.htmlAnna Fanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483959757047377139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743941223915628284.post-76000976975084946392011-07-24T22:57:01.252+01:002011-07-24T22:57:01.252+01:00This is unbelieveable dear Sr. I can imagine this....This is unbelieveable dear Sr. I can imagine this. oh no---If you dont mind, i will share this info on my blog.Zoneziwohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890321517920847544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743941223915628284.post-58773046393280138902011-07-24T21:25:35.011+01:002011-07-24T21:25:35.011+01:00@ 'Lara: in fact what was more chagrin was how...@ 'Lara: in fact what was more chagrin was how people persuade women to stay for the sake of their children.

I know it is not easy but I must say I value my life so much to even stay in such relationship.Molara Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15028561658576923679noreply@blogger.com
