Our society places premium on the male gender but today, these facts are becoming obsolete as people are also becoming aware that the weakness attached to the female gender is just a mere allusion that does not hold water.
The female gender is becoming stronger day by day in demanding for their fundamental right, same respect accorded to their male folks and career opportunities.
The current quagmire of Chindinma, the lady who confessed to killing the CEO of Super TV has further revealed the evil in humans which should not be swept under the carpet because of her gender. How on earth could a fellow human being kill another just for the love of money, how?
Many blamed the late Usifo for cheating on her wife and running after young girls, but that is unfounded. He never raped her. He never forced her. He made advances and Chindinma accepted. A 21 year Old girl is old enough to take decision for herself and be damned. It is that simple.
Both Male and Female needs to take responsibility for their actions irrespective of their gender or background.
The Nigerian Police are currently trying to find the accomplices to the crime, but Chidinma maintained that she carried out the killing alone.
She further told detectives at the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Yaba, that she was able to overpower the deceased because he was weak. She revealed that late Usifo became weak after taking three wraps of Rohypnol while she took one wrap. She stated that she strangled Usifo before stabbing him.
The Story depicts a loss of morals in the society from great exposure to drugs, liquor and exchange of body for money. Many parents have failed in their God-giving role of watching over their children.
Due to high exposure of our youths to social media and quest for material things, parents, religious organizations and community also need to team up to save our youths from danger.
The issue at hand doesn’t have anything to do with the gender. The police needs to investigate thoroughly and the court should apportion appropriate sanctions to serve as deterrent for our youths engaging in illicit drugs and acts culpable of destroying the values of our society.
Young people should stop finding money from the moon. Parents should teach their children about contentment and more importantly,all that glitters is not gold.
if parents do their job,young ladies will learn to say “No” to married men’s and they will have no choice than to stay glued to the home.
In all,men should control themselves and stop running after everything in skirt. An adage says,”Death ate banana and started dancing, forgetting that it is sweet things that kills”. Contentment is the father of all behaviour.
