How To Treat A Nude Lady

This is another rejoinder from a woman, BUNMI AROYEWUN
On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, Jibril Sado wrote a rejoinder to an article published in The PUNCH, titled, How to treat a n*ked woman. The write-up was a response to an earlier one written on November 27, 2014 by Abimbola Adelakun.

Adelakun who took her inspiration from some women and men in faraway Kenya that “protested a culture that strips a woman – to enhance her dignity and protect the sanctity of their society” had in the write-up surrendered to all values that are antithetical to Africa, elevated even the strange modern culture that is hunting the West and condemned African culture as a myth that never existed.

In her words, "It never fails to amuse how some folk paralyse themselves with nostalgia of an Africa that probably never existed… Today, a number of the values people attribute to traditional African values are Victorian ideals, prompted by colonial incursion into their societies."

The writer also blamed “shame” about n*dity or being “n*ked” on social conditioning, quoting a misleading anthropological account by Alfred B. Ellis – first published in 1894 and “some other accounts” that debunk myths of sUxual puritanism – where people have s*x only for procreation.

But Jibril Sado in an attempt to exonerate women
from taking responsibility through their subscription to lewd culture that prompted men to prowl on them blamed the African and Arabian worlds for s*xual harassments of women. He also holds the puritan culture responsible for allowing such other issues like the Kenyan woman harassment to thrive.
