Nigerian men explain why they hit women

Recently, Chuey Chu of Pulse took to the streets to sample reasons why domestic violence continues to wreck havoc in relationships. “Is it okay for a man to hit a woman,” he asks passersby, and the responses are surprising.

One commentator explained that as the head of the family, he beats his wife when she ‘misbehaves’, and he cited a scenario that led to one of the beatings: his wife stayed out late at her sister’s place. And that was it.

Another said the reason he hits his partner is to instill ‘sense’ in her, while a young boy said it is simply okay, that at the slightest irritation, it is okay for a man to hit a woman.

There are some who vehemently disagreed with the idea. One even suggested taking a walk when upset, or even downing a bottle of beer to ‘cool temper.’

Some women spoke too.

So, is it okay to hit a woman? Meet Nigerians and their various opinions on the subject:
