According to BBC News, the rate of domestic violence in Africa is too high compared to every other continent in the world. We keep hearing many stories of domestic violence in different countries of Africa. During an open interview among men about domestic violence, some men came out boldly to tell the audience that they beat their wives at home.
Some good men amongst them said it is never a good thing to beat your wife and they also condemned the act of domestic violence. During the interview which was held in Kenya, a particular man boldly said he's one of the men who beat up their wives at home and he has reasons for that. He said that it's a normal thing in Africa for a man to beat his wife so that his wife will respect him. He said he and other African men do it so that their wives will give 'em the respect they deserve.
He said if you don't beat your wife, she would never respect you and also treat you like a nobody. (Typical African mentality). Someone also said that his grandmother told him that he can beat his wife but he shouldn't kill her, that's how to gain respect from your wife as a man.
Someone opposed them and said he doesn't have to beat his wife to gain respect from her, if his wife loves him, she will surely respect him, no need for beating. It was a very shameful thing that almost all the men in the gathering supported the act of men beating their wives to gain respect from them. This is so bad, undoubtedly, Africa is still backward in her mentality.
