The tragic story of Boship and Jenelyn... who's lesson?

The tragic story of Boship and Jenelyn... who's lesson? Unfortunately, Boship can't learn from his mistake, he now faces the brunt of the law. So is our belove d sister, Jenelyn, like many before her, sadly they no longer breath. Then who's lesson is it? Definitely, the protest march and all the energy gathered and forged at this time against GBV should not go in vain. There is a saying that goes, "A wise man learns from his own mistake but the wisest learns from other people's mistake" Young people, especially the unmarried. (no offense to the married) Boship's case maybe very extreme but it started somewhat as a usual harmless situation.

What is the root cause of Domestic Violence? This is a question that needs serious answers to it. Others may have their perspective on it, but this is my take. And I will say, itt goes back to the matters of the bedroom. The place where the sacred ritual that forges the union is not understood well.

Is it Adam's or Eve's fault causing the fall of men out of Eden? My take, ADAM Why? All instructions were given to Adam not Eve What to do, what not to do What to eat, what not to eat Adam was expected to teach, mold, nurture and protect Eve  Reading the story, until Adam swallowed the fruit, God moved Even when Eve spoke to the snake, took the fruit, swallowed the fruit and gave part of it to Adam God did not move until Adam bite it and swallowed it It was Adam's action that moved God, not Eve The issue was Adam's response and reaction And when God came down He first called "Adam, Adam where are you?" Not Eve, why did you get the fruit? because, he placed the responsibility to protect, teach, nurture on Adam so he checks on Adam. Brothers, uncles, papas our reactions and action to a woman's emotional nature has the power to make or break... We have a responsibility to nurture, teach, mold and protect //////////////////
