A group of women from Anambra State known as the Umuada, who are respected as the first daughters in their communities, were stopped from confronting a woman whose private video recently went viral. The video showed her in a private moment with a married man, and this caused a lot of attention online.
In a clip posted on Facebook, the Umuada were seen holding traditional items while walking through a marketplace. This act seemed to be part of a cultural protest or public shame meant for the woman, who works at that market.
However, their plans were quickly interrupted by local villagers. The people living in that village did not agree with the Umuada’s actions, especially since the Umuada were from a different community. They reminded the women that they couldn’t take such actions in someone else’s village without permission.
The villagers made it clear that if the Umuada wanted to take any steps, they would need to send a formal letter to the village leaders first. The leaders would then talk about the issue and decide what should happen next.
This incident shows how local traditions still play a role in handling community matters, and also highlights the importance of following the right steps before taking public action.
