“If a man cooks for a community, they will finish it and ask for more, but if the community cooks for just the man, he won’t be able to finish it.” This Igbo adage reflects a situation that unfolded in the Umuode community of Nkanu East, Enugu State. It personifies an event where the women of the community marched to a man’s house one peaceful morning, insisting that he beat all of them before he could proceed with his daily activities.
