''The Beginning of the End"

''The Beginning of the End"

This maiden in tears, happens to be one amongst thousands of others being forced into early marriage and consequent genital mutilation[circumcision]. All in the name of custom and tradition. The native urhobo man of Niger Delta see no wrong in this barbaric and selfish act, but everything about it is absurd and dehumanising to me; hence this rendition and the need to take it global for others to join me in the campaign against forceful early marriage and circumcission rites.
