A group of women in Benin City, Edo State, has gone viral on social media, voicing their frustrations over the dwindling number of eligible men due to escalating violence in the area.
The women’s grievances were captured in a series of videos shared on TikTok, where they are seen marching through the streets, decrying the impact of violence on relationships and societal stability. The footage has sparked widespread reactions online, with many expressing concern over the ongoing situation.
In one of the videos, the women march in unison, chanting slogans and raising banners that highlight their plight. Some of the women lament the alarming rate at which violence is claiming the lives of men in the city. A voice from the group laments: “We no see husband for Benin ooo, them don kill boyfriend finish. Pablo no enter house, kongi wan kill women.”
Another clip shows the women holding placards with messages emphasizing the devastating impact of violence on men, who are often the primary victims of these incidents.
The videos have since ignited a heated conversation on social media. While some commenters sympathized with the women, others criticized the light-hearted tone of their statements in the face of a serious issue.
This unusual protest sheds light on the human cost of violence in Benin City, where residents continue to grapple with insecurity. Analysts believe such acts of public demonstration reflect the growing frustration among citizens as violence disrupts daily life, relationships, and the social fabric.
As the videos continue to circulate, many are calling on authorities to address the root causes of violence in the city and ensure the safety of its residents, especially the youth, whose lives are often cut short by these acts of aggression.
