ENOUGH OF THE EXCUSES

Hey handsome, I’m here for you. 

We all know that ladies are not the only ones at the receiving end when it comes to domestic violence. You too are. And when it comes to you, it is super terrible because there’s this pre-assumed impression that you are to always suck up all that life throws to you.

Domestic violence here is not something life has thrown at you. E no dey rush you, na you dey rush am because you surely saw the signs but you chose ‘love’ over your emotional, physical, mental, and social peace.

You know, you saw all the unnecessary excess cries, excessive and unruly lavish spendings, the slight spanking and playful slaps, throwing of thins, breaking your phone all because of an innocent ‘hi’ from Keke and you kept telling yourself that she is just being childish. Childish but you are in a relationship with her, a child. Do you know that’s punishable under the law? Or should we go down the memory lane of belittling you? I know how that feels cause I have been there too. Please stop giving excuses for her.

Alright, enough of playing you your own movie or pictures, this is just a short post. I am here to tell you one thing, just one thing…..RUN!!!!!!! and NEVER LOOK BACK. You are no less a man. It’s okay to save yourself before you try saving others. If you are in a relationship and you don’t derive 100% peace of mind or don’t get to feel worthy then leave. 

I know we have been taught some things but that was in our parent's time, some of them still regret not running when they could. You deserve better and you should go for it. Build yourself and find that better person.
