Omo, Naija streets don turn something else o! These days, the kind tori wey dey enter ear fit make person cry. Wetin dey happen to our young boys for this country? E be like say na only girls people dey remember, but wetin about the boys? The rate of sexual molestation against our boys dey rise, and nobody wan talk about am. E be like say shame dey catch everybody.
One day for Oshodi, my guy Kola dey gist me about wetin happen to him neighbor’s pikin. The boy name na Seyi, small boy of 12 years. Na fine boy wey dey always smile, but recently the boy face don change. Na so Kola mama notice say the boy dey waka like person wey get pain. She call the boy ask am wetin happen. After plenty talk, Seyi open mouth. Na him own uncle dey touch am for night when everybody don sleep. The boy dey cry, say e no fit talk because the uncle dey threaten am. E pain everybody well well. Dem rush report the matter, but wetin go happen next? Na Naija we dey o!
Another one wey happen for Ajegunle, na even worse. One boy wey dem dey call Chuka, just 10 years old, dey help him mama for her small shop. One evening, one man wey dem sabi well well for the area, Baba T, carry Chuka enter him room. Dem talk say Baba T dey give the boy small small gifts, so Chuka no suspect anything. Na for there Baba T begin do bad things to the boy. Chuka mama notice say her pikin dey avoid Baba T after that day. Na when she pressure am, the boy begin cry, talk say Baba T dey do am bad thing. Dem carry the matter go community head, but na so so long story.
You fit imagine? Wetin our boys do deserve this kain thing? E no good at all. These boys dey innocent, but wicked people no wan let them rest. For Agege, na same tori. One boy, Ibrahim, 13 years old, just dey play ball with him friends. One man wey dey live for their compound, Uncle Jude, begin call the boy say make him help am buy something. The boy go, but he no come back quick. Na when him papa go find am for Uncle Jude room, dem see say the man don dey molest the boy. The thing weak everybody for the compound.
As we dey gist this matter for street, one woman talk say her son dey go lesson teacher house every weekend. She begin suspect when the boy no wan go lesson again. When she ask am why, the boy talk say the lesson teacher dey touch am for body. My people, e be like say the world don spoil finish. Wetin we go do?
E no end there. For one secondary school for Ikeja, one boy wey dem dey call Emeka, just enter SS1. The boy dey fear anybody wey come near am. Him mama begin suspect say something dey wrong. Na so the boy talk say one of him teachers dey call am stay after school, dey touch am for body. Emeka talk say he no fit talk because the teacher dey threaten say if he talk, he go fail all him subjects.
This kain matter no be wetin we suppose keep quiet about. If we no protect our boys, who go do am? Make we dey check our boys well well. If you see say your pikin dey act different, ask am wetin happen. No let shame make you keep quiet. Report to police, talk to elders, do anything wey you fit do.
Our boys deserve to grow in peace, without fear say anybody go touch them anyhow. Make we join hands fight this badness for our society. Na so we go fit get better Naija wey our boys and girls go fit grow without fear.
