Veteran Nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu says that society treats men and women when it comes to their past , especially their sXxual history. In a short video, he explained that a man can sleep with 30 or even 40 women and still find someone willing to marry him but a woman who has been with 7 to 10 men may face rejection for the same thing. The actions look similar but the consequences are not the same.
He says that society often leaves no visible trace of a man’s past relationships, but a woman’s past is more talked about, more judged, and more remembered. Both genders do not face equal social punishment for the same behaviour. He pushed the point further with another example: He says that two people may use drugs together. If one is from a wealthy home, the family can fly him abroad for treatment and rehabilitation.
The other person, without money or connections, may end up struggling with no support and no second chance. Which society is he talking about???? Cos i have since noted that the mentality in Nigeria is different from anywhere else in the world...
