What Nigerian Girls Must Learn From Rihanna.

The case of Rihanna with her former boyfriend Chris Brown is a lesson for every girl. You can’t tear a girl into pieces and expect her to be herself. Her courage is what every girl must emulate. Although there’s rumor that she only acted on the way she did because the police actually saw what was going on behind her and Chris’ door. If the police hadn’t gotten involved she would have covered her bruises with makeup and continued on.Anywhere is not time to argue. At least Chris, her former boyfriend was sentenced to five years probation and community services in August and has publicly apologized. Her courage alone is what matters. Especially for girls who’ll not tell anybody that their boyfriends beat them up. Those who’ll cover everything even when they’re wounded both physically and emotionally. Those who’ll rather suffer in silence and consider such abuse a big secret.I know Rihanna is a celebrity, but what she passed through is peculiar to every woman and girl. Abuse is common in relationships. And, girls must be tough with love to overcome abuse.Being tough with love doesn’t mean you should be strict with your guy no! It simply means that those real instances of abuse that threatens relationships must be noticed and promptly deal with within the context of love. It’s common to see girls who’re carried away by love. They take “shits” from guys all in the name of love. Most guys take advantage of the so-called love. They’ll deliberately cheat on you, snap or command you around before their friends. If you don’t quickly deal with those minor abuses, they’ll one day use their fist on you at the slightest disagreement. And turn you to foot mat where he dusts his feet.Also, some girls have lost their hard earned self-respect and dignity .Due to economic pressure they transferred their financial burdens to their lovers. There’s nothing wrong asking your guy for money its okay. But once he finds out that, you depend solely on him for money. He may take your love for granted. He’ll now feel your love is bought over with money. He’ll believe he who pays commands and should dominate the relationship and becomes Mr. Right. Even when you’re abused, he believes you can’t do anything. Your guy takes advantage of you especially when they’re broke and try to reconcile with him.
