Popular 'manhood' and its effects on our African society

In an era dominated by men who want to live a life void of ennui, the true meaning of the term 'manhood' has been generally abused. Most men are quick to refer to the word manhood - when speaking about matters of less relevance - without thinking of its true meaning.

Although an ambiguous term, the true definition of manhood ought to be shrouded by the assumption of the full responsibilities of any man. In other words, when referring to manhood, a person should be quick to think of responsibilities - and how to assume them. However, most men of our society, today, have mistaken manhood for the sexual organ alone. Those in this school of thought feel like 'real men' when they can impregnate every woman and leave them in 'womanhood' states.
