Domestic Violence is a serious social issue.
And after many years of it being swept under the carpet, Nigerians are finally facing it.
Thanks to social media, we’re hearing of more cases, speaking up about those cases and even getting justice for the victims.
But as much as social media has served as a platform for advocates to speak up against Domestic Violence, it has also served as a means for different people who feel like they know shit to come and spit what they think is “wisdom” in our eyes.
