The Sunday Sun of June 1, among other previous cases of rape, reported a man who forcefully had carnal knowledge of his supposed two sisters aged 11 years each. The young man, 26 years, Chukwudi Adieze married with a child had the two sisters simultaneously in a nearby bush as they went to answer the call of nature. We know that the case of rape is handled with high handedness especially when the case is at the table of a woman magistrate or judge and police officer. The reason is that female folk must be defended at all cost. While I am not writing in defense of anybody my humble advice is that our handlers of law should remove sentiments in their zeal to ensure that female rights are protected. I have tried to imagine how one man could pin two girls down, cover their mouths with his one hand and used the other to undress both of them and himself and move from one to another. They did not shout, none could wriggle out of his hand to raise an alarm. It is not an easy fight to enter into any unwilling woman no matter her age. An intruder must have a greater strength or fearful weapon to silence her. It is more suspicious when they were not hypnotized nor tied to a stake as it was not mentioned. Does it not suggest a consensus arrangement between the supposed rapist and the girls who suddenly changed because the act was discovered by their elderly brother? Maybe these girls had been wiggling their waists to this young man's notice expecting a day to have a feel of him since childhood these days is only in the outer body look. Secondly, following the revelation (if true) of an existing feud between the girls family and the young man, then, it could be a set up. May be they have been advised by their parents to play on with the young man so as to entangle and nail him. Thirdly, it could be that the girls are known for waywardness and their brother suspected foul play considering the time it has taken them to answer the call in that nearby bush. Whichever is the position of the matter the truth is that there is no smoke without a fire. Like other cases of rape where a seventy year old man raped a girl of eight years, teacher raped student, pastor raped church member, security man raped his master's wife or daughter, boss raped his staff in the office, father raped daughter, brother in-law raped sister in-law, robbers raped their victims etc. Our society is overcharged with sexual immorality and men are helplessly falling victims. Unlike what used to be when we were growing up. Case of rape could be heard once after many years or not at all in some places. Today as Eve was gateway for devil into the world women have actively embraced the role of their grandmother with an awful enthusiasm. For the religious who believe in the existence of demonic entities, a book I read in the eighties written by one of the occultists said that when Satan wants to conjure high rates of immoral activities into the world, some demonic spirits will engage in sexual sprees which in turn reflects into the lives of men on earth. So one could say that this nefarious activity has continued non-stop since then. It might help you to believe that the sensitized atmosphere with sexual activities is not ordinary rather instigated in the spirit realm taking advantage of women's vulnerability, inordinate crave for fashion and affection. As Satan inspires designers to sow those crazy wears that see through and flaunts which some women acknowledge that they are bad to be worn in the day but for night parties or in the bedroom, skimpy and open dresses, encourage shooting pornographic pictures, teaching so called sex education, existence of stripe clubs and churches, and men respond in acceptance, rapes and sexual harassments, violence will not cease in our society because the hearts of some people have been taken captive by lust. The lust has transcends age, color, status and it has become a great price we all have to pay. When feminism was growing in America and Europe and legislation was passed that gave women untold freedom and equality little did the world foresee the attendant problems. Right now the world over cannot control women's excesses. Unfortunately, some innocent women share in this humiliating act of rape. But to punish rapists whose sensual organs were aroused by what women dancers and others display on our streets, video or TV screens leaving the women folk continue in their provocative dressings is a one sided approach to the issue. Remember, a society where dog eats dog, weak or smaller ones suffer and this is the case with victims of rape. To ensure that a coexistence is achieved a knowledgeable farmer will make a separation. Treating an ailment without addressing the cause will achieve little. Therefore, our legislature and judiciary should look at this rape issue again and come up with laws that will regulate what women wear these days because no one knows the next victims. We are Africans, we have our cultures. Africans should stray not away with the whites in bid to copy them. We appreciate the light they brought to Africa but would not allow them in depreciation to take us back to golden age. It would be likened to Israel making a golden calf to return to Egypt of the bible time. A female actress from the northern part of the country was asked whether she could wear what she wears in Lagos in any city in the North or her place, she said no because life is different up there. It is a place where decency is promoted, people that wouldn't want American nudeness for dressing but in Lagos she has joined the bandwagon of fashion freak celebrities. When a governor started a war against indecent dressing in one of the states there was divergent opinions on the exercise, suddenly it was short lived. May be those who call evil good with their high powered connections killed the move. The truth is that societal ladies who are culprits of indecent dressings might escape rape but their innocent sisters or daughters, house helps could suffer their mess.
