The immediate past Miss Imo state queen, Stephenie Korie, was two nights ago allegedly humiliated by an army man at a graduation party of her friends.
Read her reaction and the full gist below:
“Nigeria has turned to something else where men treat women with no respect. I’m so disappointed with our military; they treat women with no respect . I’ve been hearing stuffs about the things they do in Aba, Abia state but didn’t believe until it happened to me tonight .
Stephenie Korie
”I actually went to my friends graduation party with my younger sis in my school, when all of a sudden some guys started fighting. I wasn’t comfortable so we had to go out and we were about leaving when a guy approached me ( army officer not dressed in his uniform ) and asked me of the people with us.
”I was surprised because I was invited and didn’t know much people in the party. But I didn’t answer him then ,he told me he would slap me if I don’t tell him. I was surprised and asked him why? Before I could tell what was happening he gave me a dirty slap. Now I’m wondering; do men go about slapping any female they see? or the men in our country have lost the respect they have for women? It is a big shame for a soldier in the Nigerian army to act with such irresponsible behaviour. And when he was asked why he did what he did, his reply was “do you know who I am” #StandAgainstMilitaryIntimidation #MenShouldNotHitWomenForNoReason #TheMilitaryShouldProtectAndNotIntimidateOurWomen”
Nawa oh, this ‘do-you-know-who-I-am’ syndrome is everywhere in Nigeria!
