Talk Thursday: Domestic Violence
It was a very deep conversation last Thursday on my show, #OnAirWithTobeDaDiva. If this is your first time reading about it, well, I host my own show on Dream 92.5 FM, Enugu, every Wednesday and Thursday night, from 10pm to midnight. On Thursdays, we have 90 straight minutes of talk and so, naturally, we call it #TalkThursday.
Last Thursday, the conversation was on Domestic Violence...not just the more popular angle of approaching domestic violence (men beating women and children) but also, the less spoken of angle of men being the abused victims.
It was a long conversation (90 minutes of talk, non-stop) and I must say, some things some callers said shocked me, some gave me an 'aha' moment, some made me feel like I had made the right choice in picking up this topic for the show.
Listen to the entire conversation...

ReplyDeleteHi tobe, I want to tell you that you're the best thing that has happened to me on radio. Its not like I just started listening to radio, if you may know, I have been so addicted to radio that people started calling me a radio freak. At some time,as if our local radio wasn't enough, I started listening to VOA and BBC on the short wave. At a time, I even took my dad's big radio to school with the pole hanging just outside may school bag just to catch a radio program, #lol. All I have been trying to say is that I have listened to a lot of radio stations and a lot of air personalities but no one has infatuated me as much as you, you're my best, I am so much in love with your air persona. I would also want to say something on the Lesley story you aired. I would love to correct an impression, it was derogatory sight of our intellectual capabilities at how we took the Lesley story as a stereotype on how domestic violence nucleates and grows to something despicable, it cannot never be a stereotype until research and statistics says so, you can't just take a person's story and make it the norm. One bad thing about it is that people will have this stereotyped version at heart and become ignorant of other forms in which domestic violence can occur. I love you and I love your shows, peace,.......
