Disgraceful WhatsApp Screenshot: Betty Vs Omowumi

Former Ondo State First Lady, Betty Akeredolu, in a war of words with Ondo Finance Commissioner, Isaac Omowumi. This was contained in the Betty's Facebook profile where she screenshot a WhatsApp conversation between herself and Omowumi. In what appeared to be a drama, both women greatly insulted each other.  Why are some women like this? We saw a very disturbing video recently where different ladies at different places were seen fighting dirty in public on Valentine's Day. What for? Because of men?  The drama between Betty Akeredolu and Isaac Omowumi is also quite disturbing, and it's unfortunate to see two respected women engaging in such a public feud. It's even more concerning when we consider the fact that some of our young ladies look up to such people.  In many societies, women are socialised to compete with each other, often for the attention and validation of men. This leads to a culture of rivalry, where women feel like they need to tear one another down to suc...
