After Nollywood actress and singer Angela Okorie rejoiced over Regina Daniels’ family drama, posting “God is good. Somebody say all the time,” a wave of troubling reactions followed. Among them, one deeply insensitive comment read, “Is called discipline. Papa beat pikin.”
This comment dangerously normalizes domestic violence, attempting to justify a man allegedly beating his wife as mere “discipline.” It reflects a warped mindset that sees control and abuse as acceptable in relationships, especially when power dynamics or wealth are involved. Such statements downplay the seriousness of violence in marriage and reinforce a culture that excuses abuse under the guise of authority.
