Women Stripped Naked To Protest The Incessant Killing Of Their Men in Kaduna

Today, the women of Southern Kaduna stripped themselves naked in protest over the incessant killings of their husbands, daughters and sons over the years and the government's seeming  "silence"  In our African culture, especially the Igbo and Yoruba cultures which I am well acquainted with because of my mixed parentage. A woman's nudity is seen as sacred especially the nudity of our mothers.

It is a taboo for  our mothers to  strip naked in  protest, when they do, it is believed that the land  becomes angry and it becomes a curse on the inhabitants of the land. The breast that suckled us should never ever  hang out in protest but today the mothers of Southern Kaduna have no other choice but to strip to register their displeasure to Mother Earth because  as Africans we believe the land is living and therefore capable of emotions like happiness and anger.

  It may be calamitious on  us all if nothing is done immediately to appease the land.
