Agbani Darego and the fallacies of Uche Nworah

Men encouraged women, or at the very least, acquiesced to whatever indecent behavior we may associate with women. And in some cases, men forced women to engage in indecency. Men, we all know, are the repository for licentiousness...

An Encounter with Mr. Sustainability
