Domestic violence is still an
issue that is on the rise globally, which has attracted the attention of some
civil society groups and some non-governmental organization, NGO, around the
world. Some have asked the government to enact stringent laws aimed at reducing
the menace.
Those who have suffered domestic
violence have bitterly narrated their experiences and have rendered pieces of advice
to those who still suffer it on how to overcome the psychological effect they
may be battling with.
In Nollywood, some actresses
have claimed to have suffered domestic violence, which has forced them out of
their marriages. Monalisa Chinda, Kate Henshaw, Chika Ike, are few of Nigerians
stars who have alleged domestic violence from their former spouses.
Nollywood producer and director,
Daniel Ademinokan recently revealed that he grew up in a home, where his father
was in the habit of beating the hell out of his mother. The estranged hubby of
Nollywood actress, Doris Simone, disclosed this while commenting on an article
written by his alleged lover, Stella Damasus, titled; ‘When Is It Enough’, which
talks about domestic violence.
According to him, “When I read
her (Stella Damasus) article ‘When Is It Enough’, I could relate with it
clearly because I grew up in a home that had love, but also had a father who
could not control his temper. I witnessed his brutality towards my mother and
the story struck a chord in my heart.”
