We promise, this is not a men bashing article. What it is a woman venting her frustrations at cultural cliches that abound in Nigeria. Patriarchal cultural cliches.

I couldn't keep back the tears when I was explaining to the policemen. It was painful. Like these animals thought hitting my car was a joke
