Ambassador For War Against Domestic Violence

Mercy Aigbe and Tonto Dikeh?

Domestic Violence is a serious issue everywhere in the world; no matter how some countries have laws protecting both sex and all that good stuff. It is an epidemic beyond cultural beliefs and situations. Abuse is Abuse. We (both sex) cover for our partners in one way or another, either as a complementary gestures; to our family or to our friends, as an effort to make our partners look good (material wise) without any form of abuse.

It is completely different, when we lie for a partner who abuses us, that is totally unacceptable.  Personally, I stand against any form of abuse against anyone covered or not.

Today, Mercy Aigbe posted a pic from the doctor’s office in UK, one who specializes in Maxillofacial and oral surgery. Not to sound mean or insensitive to the plights of popular Nigerian artiste Mercy Aigbe through the hands of her Ex -husband (Lanre Gentry) who is totally sick and a loser for physically abusing her. #trulyheartbreaking. 

However, the hashtags on her post got me thinking, If she and Tonto Dikeh as stars were Ambassadors for war Against Domestic Violence and there were reports of them being abused by their partners, but they denied it...to the point of video release and a united front on social media; even though they are survivors, Would they lose their brand as an ambassador or does that disqualify them forever as an  ambassador for such as important cause due to their lies?
