Following the death of Karabo Mokoena, a South African lady who was burnt to death by Sandile, her boyfriend; and Nathan Oko-Jaja, a Nigerian young man, who was killed by his ex-girlfriend, Twitter Africa has been caught up in the fury of hashtags- Men are scum; Men are trash; Not all men – and a flurry of debates between them.
Dr Etin’s thread appears to give many the balance needed. Do see below:
I refuse to use my bad experiences to colour d whole male gender as a result.
I choose to see the good in people until they prove otherwise

I've just concluded it's one of the negatives of social media – giving foolish people along with the wise an amplified voice to say rubbish.

They won't get it,they never do. They don't realize the depth of it. There is more to it than meets the eye and all they see is the surface.

You can't as a woman have an excuse for a man's abuse whether verbal or physical, then come back later when it's gone beyond normal to rant.

Pls let this energy into proper education of the upcoming generation. Any above 20 woman stuck in this men are trash mode should kontinu.

Instead of walking back and finding the lessons, accepting your goofs and making corrections going forward you want to die there. Carry on.

All U have said, is common sense.
All Muslims aren't terrorists.
All Yorubas aren't demons.
All Nigerians aren't scammers.
