What we can all learn from the #okayafrica
story is that male toxicity in the workplace is very real.
It's also very unsettling, traumatic. It took me a long time for me to recover from what I endured at another media outlet run by another Nigerian man.

I hope you all can fully heal from this. It is hard, I know.Your stories are triggering some of the pain that I experienced.Let's heal together.
Studies show that in the workplace, women often work twice as hard as their male colleagues, yet face the brunt of disapproval when things don’t go right.. We put in overtime, experience more disrespectful behavior. We tolerate the disrespect. Why?
I'm sharing my story again, in the wake of the #OkayAfrica scandal
The painful memories are all flooding back.
I will need to do some thorough self-care tonight.
I urge men to stand with women who have been hurt by the excesses of patriarchy.

Abusive male figures often have a cult following that pumps them up.
They start to believe they're infallible, invincible.
But the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
I'm reminded of the #PatriarchyMustFall campaign South African women had going some yrs back
