A young Nigerian woman recently made a shocking revelation that she has been sleeping with her cousins and is currently dating one of them. This disclosure not only brings into question the boundaries of what is acceptable in terms of relationships and family ties, but also highlights the taboo surrounding this kind of behavior.
The woman, Sade, admits that her first experience with her cousin happened when she was finishing her high school studies and was staying with a relative at university. She then recalls a similar incident at her uncle's dowry payment event, when she and her cousin also had s*x at her aunt's bedroom. Sade also confesses to having fun and not feeling any guilt for her actions. She then goes on to explain further encounters in which she has slept with her cousins, and states that she is proudly dating one at present.
Sade’s behavior is not something that should be encouraged and it brings with it a stigma that is deeply rooted in African society. According to the World Health Organization and the United Nations, incest is sexual activity with a relative and is a form of abuse. It is also considered a criminal offense in many countries, and this form of abuse has a long-term impact on both physical and mental health.
The woman’s situation has also been viewed as an example of unplanned or risky sexual behavior, as she mentioned that the encounters happened while she was either partying or drinking. It is not uncommon for young people to be lured into risky behaviors due to peer pressure, lack of knowledge, and an erosion of traditional values. Therefore, it is important that we do our best to educate young people about consent, appropriate relationships and the consequences that come with certain choices.
Furthermore, it is essential that we also create a safe space for young people to speak up whenever they experience any kind of pressure or coercion in terms of sexual behavior. It is also necessary to ensure that victims are aware of their rights and are provided with necessary support and guidance from the relevant authorities.
We must become more aware of the importance of creating a safe environment for our young people, and ensure that they are able to identify behaviors that are inappropriate and detrimental to their well-being. Sade’s actions are not something that should be condoned, and it is important that we continue to emphasize the importance of implementing safe sexual practices and respecting family ties.
