What's happening?

Hello Mes Amis,

These past few days had been quite eventful and full of color. It gets better and better. I was supposed to write this article since last week but I couldn't because I didn't have the time to write as I am still trying to complete my report writing.

@Bisolammy wrote somethings about an issues in one of her last posts. She was talking about the behaviour of guys towards their female friends that come visiting them. She was complaining about the way guys treat their female friends who come visiting them. Coincidentally, two separate friends of mine who were not at the same place said exactly the same thing. One of them said there was a time she went to visit a male friend in his house and the next thing was that the guy nearly raped her and would have if she hadn't called out for help. Another of my friends said she was nearly raped by her uncle who teaches in her school. All these from three different persons and all I could ask in my heart of hearts is WHAT IS HAPPENING? Like, what pleasure do some guys gain in inflicting pain on their female friends? So, because she comes visiting, they think it's an avenue to sleep with them or rape them? Except if you are the girl's lover or husband, I don't see why you will want to have a canal knowledge of her and worse still, trying to forcefully have your way with her.

The madness is spreading at an alarming rate and the sad thing is that innocent girls are been affected the most. So many cases have been reported about girls being raped and even killed in the process. It think it's about time we all (both girls and guys, the citizens and government and the whole society) take drastic steps to ending this menance. In my own opinion, I think the following will help reduce this wicked acts in the society:

1. Girls should understand that guys are not rocks or inanimate objects that you can treat with obscurity. You as a girl knowing what's going on the world presently, shouldn't take the risk of going to sleep in a guy's house especially if you are not in relationship with him. Bisola said she (or a friend), wore a not so fine or sexy cloth to the guy's house and yet the guy still tried to have his way with her. Come to think of it, that's not the first day the guy is seeing you, he has seen you in better clothes and it has already been imprinted in his memory the better version of you. Now giving the circumstances of you sleeping in his house, his chemistry will be activated to do what is been played in his head with you and if he is not God fearing or having self control, he will surely try to have his way with you. In conclusion, of you don't want that, don't create a circumstance for it.

2. Choose your male friends wisely. Although this doesn't totally rule out number one, it's also very effective in avoiding guys that are like that. The truth is we all know our friends and what they are capable of doing. So, when you choose the wrong friend, expect the wrong thinking and action from them.

3. Wear decent clothes at all times. Many will argue that this doesn't prevent rape, but it actually does. If we take a quick stroll back into the past, we will see that the cases of rape is very minimal and almost a strange thing to happen then compared to now. This is due to one major factor, the dressing of girls then and now. When you dress sexy, you are dressing to been appealing to have sex with! Hence when a guy sees you, he receives the message of 'please have sex with me'. I still don't understand why you will dress to kill, dress sexy or slay of you don't want sex. It's like going to the market to price a commodity when you don't want it at all. Isn't it insane and illogical? Fine, there are guys that will still try to rape a girl that's is well dress, but those type of guys are very few. I will repeat this, if you don't want it, don't dress it.

4. Pray you don't fall into temptation. With all the above discussion, one may still be unfortunate to fall into the wrong hands as we have many decievers and pretenders, so pray! For God shall direct your path and keep you from evil.

Finally, I am able to post this article I have been writing since last week. I have been so very busy and occupied.

Thanks for reading this article friends. To the girls, stay safe out there and protect your dignity with pride.
