Sexual harrassment of Randy Reps?


What is sexual harassment? Who is a culprit and which of the sexes harasses the other?
Before now, in Nigeria as in many other Third World countries, there was the common assumption that only men, particularly those in positions of authority, were confirmed suspects of sexual harassment of women. But with the economic situation biting harder, what used to be the norm is fast giving way.

However, Sunday Sun investigation revealed that one of the institutions witnessing high profile sexual harassment in today’s Nigeria is the National Assembly. It is now a common practice for many male legislators in both the upper and lowers chambers of the federal legislature to seek protection from sexual harassment from all kinds of ladies that throng their offices and at “inconvenient” times.

Although the National Assembly is not like the executive arm of government where ministries and agencies dole out contracts that would attract business-minded people, the way ladies of no fixed addresses troop there has become alarming.
The situation was initially not helped by the lack of official residential accommodation for Senators and members of the House of Representatives due to the government’s monetization policy. A lot of the legislators had to seek temporary abodes in hotels without their families, thereby exposing some of them to women of little or no virtue.

I am just wondering if these so called women would be there if the senators do not look for them? No one plies his trade where there is no business? I agree that there are some men of integrity who would want nothing to do with them but I do not think it is cheaper to stay in a hotel than rent a house. Initial lack of accomodation is no excuse!

Paying to get phone numbers? Desparate moves! Why did the senator bother to invite her to his office? he wanted to find out how she got his number. Tell that to . . .
And he parted with some money . . .hehe story for another day.
I guess is P-square that is playing out here! Do me I do you, man no go vex.
Let them stop complaining. They are the ones that led the way in the first placeeeee.
