THE HUMILIATION of the African woman is now complete, thanks to the Saudi Arabians who have treated Nigerian women like prostitutes on the annual Hajj to Mecca.
One thousand Nigerian women have been refused entry into the country and held at the airport in Jeddah, awaiting deportation. They have not been given accommodation fit for humans and have had to share just four toilets at the airport for over a week now.
This is an outrageous situation. The Saudi authorities, who claim to be non-discriminatory when it comes to welcoming millions of Muslims to take up their obligation to visit Mecca once in their lifetime, have lost the plot. The plot being the agreement between them and the Nigerian authorities that they would waive their otherwise strict rules that single woman unaccompanied by a close relative are not allowed to visit the country.
Apparently most of the 1,000 Nigerian women did arrive at the airport accompanied by their husbands, but their husbands were separated from them by the authorities at passport control, because they did not have the same surnames as their wives. How many of us have the same names as our wives?
I have been married for yonks and my wife has always been Ms Carroll Thompson, queen of lovers' rock, whilst I have always been Mr Dotun Adebayo, king of the jokers. It does not mean that we are not married. You would have thought that the authorities in a polygamous society like Saudi Arabia would understand.
African women are not prostitutes so stop treating them as such!
