Man Slap Women In Nigerian Movies? by Mamajama(m): 3:18pm On Feb 15, 2007
I was appalled at some of the actions been portrayed by some actions in Nigerian movies.  On several occasions.  I can give more than 10 movies where women are getting DIRTY SLAP

Are this action morally acceptable?  should this actions be banned from Nollywood movies?  How do you explained to your

children this actions are just acting?  or do Nigerian men do really beat up on their girls? wifes and concubines? 

what do you guys thing?  or at what level must a man slap a lady?  and please be realistinc in your response please.

You don't want to tell me that you've never seen men SLAP women in other movies apart from Nigerian movies.

Yes Men slap women in Some nigerian movies. Helloooo. . . .  some men in 'real life' actually do slap their wives, so since movies are suppose to be a potrayal of what happens in real life, i think you shouldn't be "appalled".

I want to believe that in these movies you've seen, None of the men were actually 'praised' for slapping women. They either at the end get what 'abusive men' get, or change their attitude.

I'm just trying to tell you that "yes this action is morally acceptable". Because these are the things that happen in our society (not just the Nigerian society), some men slap women.
I am not in any way telling you that slapping a woman is acceptable, all im saying is, if there are movies in which a man slaps a woman, it's nothing to be 'appalled' by.

These 'actions', shouldn't be banned from Nollywood movies. Reason being that, majority of women who in real life do get slapped by some men, don't know what to do. These women are being abused, and since the media is one of the best ways of passing information, I think that More movies should be created like this to tell women what to do when they are abused. They will watch these movies, and learn from what they see.

Now if you've seen a movie that actually "praised" the slapping of women, please let me know. Mind you, you have to watch part 4 to know what happens at the end. That's Nigerian movies for you. wink

Talking about children, I believe that majority of Nigerian movies you allow your kids to watch, you must watch with them. It's your duty as a parent/adult/guardian, to tell them what's wrong and what's right.

Do Nigerian men really beat up their girls. Honey, once again, it's not just a "Nigerian men thing". This happens in all part of the world. Violence against women. So please, it's not just a Nigerian men thing!

What do i think: Read what i've been saying.

On What level must a man slap a lady: On no Damn Level. There's no level whatsoever in which a man should slap a lady. But do some men do it?? yes they do. Why? Because well, quite frankly some women could "push" a man. Ohh trust me, not all women are saints. the man might not want to do it, but these women are evil and they'll push you THAT far. 
Does the fact that some women can push Men to Slap Them justify the man's action? Uhmmm,  No i didn't say that. And No it doesn't justify their action. It just to some certain level explains why the slap was issued to the woman.
Do some women deserve to be slapped: Again. . . . NO! And a woman who doesn't want to get slapped shouldn't do things that will get her a slap. There are always consequences for your action.

Okay okay, i've heard you. But what about women who did absolutely NOTHING WRONG Ehnnn?!! : Well, like i said before, some men are abusive, and these movies (at least majority of the ones i have seen), is a way of telling women wat to do about abusive men.
