Stop condemning men for speaking up – Adebimpe
In a chat with Legit.ng, entertainment analyst Smith Adebimpe shared his thoughts on Timi Dakolo's message.
He said:
"Many men are suffering silently because society has made it a norm for them to bear all pains and not show them to the world. We accept and praise women for speaking up during marital troubles, but expect men to just man up. Men should start speaking out if it helps them heal, instead of bottling up too much inside and breaking down later. Society needs to stop condemning men when they share their struggles because they are humans too, not gods. Kudos to Timi Dakolo for speaking on this."
