Are men scum? See photos, videos, and tweets from #MarketMarchYaba and decide

If you have been to Yaba market, you will know how common itis for traders to harass prospective customers – especially women. They grab them, caress them and sometimes go as far as molesting them and despite the fact that women have always complained, they have not stopped. Inspired by these, a Twitter user @OmogeDami started the market march to sensitize traders and hangers-on on why it is wrong to touch people without their consent.

#MarketMarchYaba was a BIG success. Big ups and huge thank yous to everyone who showed up. We had expectations, some were met, others were superseded. We stood firmly with one voice and it was clear. We have learnt a lot and can't wait to do more with what we know. pic.twitter.com/IatmhRR2lH

It was a success, but some men decided that their constitutional right was being impeded on, and the following happened.

Issa thread:

An interesting day today guys. I was at the #MarketMarchYaba and just because we said "stop touching us", they booed us, called us prostitutes, lesbians and jobless people. They also threw pure water at us, one landed right on my chest. A guy even touched me TWICE!!!

They said a lot of things I've seen here from "educated men".
If you don't want us touch you dress well.
Who are you that we shouldn't touch you.
If you don't want us to touch you don't come here.
You should be fighting for more important things (this made me laugh)..
