The EX of Cameroonian most successful soccer player fight back
I dont known if I should say this but I really feel for this girl: the EX of Cameroonian most successful soccer player . Just a quick recap: after 7years of relationship, someone decided to publish naked pictures of her on the virtual space. It is however important to note that; the only person in possession of these naked pictures according to her was: the big 9 Eto'o Fils
Ever since the controversy broke out, the big 9 has dinied any involment in the leakage of these pictures. The exposure of this pictures to the public have since damaged Nathalie's reputation. To fight back, Nathalie Koah decided to write a book which she named "REVENGE PORN". this book was to be published officially the 18th of this month followed by an international book tour. To everyone's greatest supprise the sale in France and Cameroon was suspended following a court decision. Reasons being that; many's privacy were not respected in the book.
Here is my take: In no circumstance should a judge from a developed world refuse the sale of her book under the pretext of infringing Eto'o s privacy; this is crazy. Where has freedom of speech law gone to. Like she said in one of her video published on her official facebook page wall Click here for link, the big 9 need to own up to his part of misconduct and should stop using all means he has to stop her from saying her side of the story. I damp think she is right...
It is no doubt all this media scandal makes me truly feel sorry for Georgette the big 9's official wife. Nevertheless I don't feel sorry for the big 9 himself. And I think the big 9 should genuinely leave the hell of Natalie Koah alone and or atleast own up to have released those pics of her and eventually appologise.
Although the sale of her book was suspended, she recently traveled to France to attend series of interviews with reputable TV stations like: France24, BFWTV, le Monde and many others. Not to forget radio stations and interview with multiple french and Cameroon diaspora bloggers. She also got interview with popular magazines such as Closer.
I rekon it is hard to live a life full of persecutions from the public but, from all her posts on her facebook page, she is truely sorry and wishes people; especially younger girls learn from her story and be more careful in life.
Nevertheless she is not ready to stop her battle for justice anytime soon and isnt ready to hide as most want her to. She is strong enough!. To show this, she pasted this quote from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie below:
" We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are . "
