A beautiful promising young lady was gruesomely murdered by a Chinese national in kano- in what is obviously a love turn sour story. The lady painted in beauty never imagined her life would end so cruel like it did today. Her man who is no doubt a hand tool of the devil perforated her pretty body with a pocket knife. He butchered her and soiled the floor with her blood. She bled of blood and got choked of no air before she got to the hospital. By evening, her body was lowered six feet down where the earth covered her in eternity. People lived for love but Ummita died from a complicated love pang.

Her mother should be blamed for the painful end of her daughter, she lowered the bar and collapsed the fence of motherhood. She set her daughter for her early death. She was a mother consumed by the exigencies of time. She didn’t protect her daughter the way her own mother protected her. She failed her daughter.

The woman was not unaware when the storyline between the Chinese man and her daughter reigned, she was in the picture and gave her nod. The reason the man could find refuge in her house for years, she joined to enjoy the largesse that came from the man. The night Ummita died, the mother was around. Contrary to the new story of break in, the Chinese man walked unhindered to the house, after all, the house has always been his refuge. Have it that indeed there was no knocking, she raised alarm after the murder had taken place. The man had always been a welcomed guest to the house, the story of pushing his way into the house is an afterthought. The mother hurried her daughter’s end. She cooked up that story to appear helpless, the woman had been fleecing the Chinese man for long.

There is a limit to how stupid love could hold a man captive, the man couldn’t take it anymore, so he took the foolish and cowardly path by snuffing life out of the poor vulnerable girl. She was a lamentable victim of societal burden, she needed to live to the dictates of what the society wanted, so she abandoned her real self by going all hogs to be like the girl next door- forgetting that not everyone is greeted with same luck. While others escape with theirs, she got dimmed by her hubris. Today, she lay buried beneath the earth.

Love is not a soccer game, it is an instinct contract, while it lingers, all senses are lost in it. While she saw the Chinese man as a conduit balm, he saw the world in her, he went all hogs to make her his world, he planned his world around her. He was planning for blissful existence with her, even while she got hitched to another man, he still hoped for her. They maintained same line of communication, he could call her and even do video calls with her because polyphonic phones have bridged the gulf of privacy. She was married to her man but still in romantic link with the Chinese man. Her marriage ended and the Chinese man heaved in triumph for the love of his dream is back to him. And that was when the story changed, she no longer saw him worthy of attention, perhaps there are more finer or richer guys that appealed to her consciousness. For the second time, the Chinese man felt threatened and he was not ready to lose his investments again. That was when he struck and Ummita fell to his cruelty and today she is no more.

Dear mothers, not all that glitter is gold, when your daughter begins to live beyond your family means, query her – she may not be using her head , her innocence is being exploited. Speak sense to her, tell her, men don’t act nice to women for free, it comes with a price. Men invest in women with the undeniable expectation to reap. Mothers, hold tight to your daughters, men are out there to ruin them, like sister Ummita who got consumed by the treacherous pang of men.

We write not because we want to pass blame,
We write to prevent further tears.
We write to remind ourselves of the lessons of yesterday.
There are so many rich girls lately without any means of livelihood,

Only our mothers can halt this time bomb called slaying quest.

Social media isn’t helping either,
It creates room for peer contests as girls strive to be classy even in the face of choking dangers.

Fathers too need to be vigilant with the traces of their girls,

Sadly, men see little of their girls because they are more with their mothers. The outcome of a girl child lies wholly with the mother, our mothers must rise to protect our girls.

Men are moved by what they see and not by what they feel, so vulnerable girls become their prey, the reason they can go all lengths to spend on girls to have what their eyes see in order to satisfy their yearnings. They lure our girls with the temptation of materialism, the reason girls go for men as old as their fathers. No man respects a woman he woos with money, he sees her as a commodity most often.

My writing may sound bland, blunt and harsh to those who see things from the bedroom of emotions but for those with open minds, it is a spiritual enrichment of the souls so that society can be free of the ugliness around us.

Men don’t worship beauty, they worship the body in the beauty, they see the bodies of women as the collection of ornaments which they use until it fades out – hardly you find sugar daddies marry their sugar girls, they always curl back to their women kept at home as fortresses.

@haruspice

Men are good but nicer only to outside beauty, they love the body more than they love the hearts, they see and use women like toy machines, ironically, while machines are serviceable, human bodies are not serviceable, they fall to non-rejuvenation. Men move to the next maiden with the quest to wreck her as usual. Tragically, the souls of men are not good at digesting nourishment and seem incapable of touching purity without turning it into ugliness. As one writer once opined; one of the greatest calamities that could befall a beautiful woman is to be born in a society where men have no souls, and where beauty is not appreciated.

Men are the drivers of the ruination of our girls, they lure them away from their values. Men can help our girls to be mothers without debauching them. They can make them live the life of honour, to he adored as the temple of nature.

Lastly, not all men are as painted above, some good men exist…

Sadly musing.
