No need for the epistle, she will be blamed because even trained psychologists would tell you that the odds of being raped three or more times in a lifetime is extremely rare, now she said 5 times not by the same guy but at different points in her life. Okay let's even forget all that, do you know why rapist continue to enjoy their wicked ways? Because victims don't really call them out! Even now, she can't properly name the predators especially the one that was her neighbor, at her age what does she have to be fearful of again? You can blame men all you want but soemthig ain't right here! EXPOSE THE DEVILS, IF NOT FOR ANYTHING, TO PREVENT FUTURE GIRLS FROM HARM.

Well, that's where you are wrong. No one has the right to tell a woman how long she should stay without speaking up. It's her pain, it's her story and in her own time, she should speak up. Yes, it would be good if every rape victim speaks up immediately they are hurt, so the perpetrators can be brought to book, but have you ever stopped to consider the factors involved? Fear? Hurt? Stigma? Victim shaming. These and many more are reasons they can't speak out
And just so you know, the ones that do speak out, majority of the cases aren't prosecuted. Rape is more rampant than you think and most are swept under the rug even when they reach the station. We only have access to what we know now because of social media. And it's the same social media that manages to put pressure regarding some cases that you end up prosecuted. Nonetheless, please let a rape survivor be strong enough to tell her story. Let her heal.

Now to your point about her not calling names. Pray tell me why she should feel comfortable to call names? Today, it will be her word against that of the rapist's. And it's funny that the same people clamouring that she calls names are the same that will be accusing her of trying to bring an "innocent" man down if she makes that step.

And please, I would love to see the research or rather the videos (evidence) from these "trained" psychologists who say being raped up to three times or more is rare.

just keep shut and stop vomiting nonsense from your gutter mouth.
Respect your age old woman

Why should she shut up? If you know the crime someone commits and you keep the secret, you are simply an abetter of the crime. Simply put, all men clamouring for women to shut up about their pain are supporters of rape. She isn't vomitting nonsense. She is saying the truth the way it is. And it's appalling that rather than respect her opinion and move along or at least reply constructively, you'd rather she shut up. We are addressing a terrible and rampant issue, yet you are comfortably hauling insults at a woman who's simply speaking for other women. It's sad but then again, some people will never understand the hurt until it hits close to home. I wish you all the best.

Only the second to the last story looked like a rape case and that's why she took her time to explain...

And anyone can haul insults at me, but you won't be dressed like a moderate girl should and still get raped 5 times.... Haba!
She must have a "street" attitude that made all these agberos see her as a dump hole

Please stop propagating rape culture. She was raped by a man. A man raped her! Why focus on her, the victim rather than the man who did the wrong deed? Not enough men are condemned for their crimes! We always find a way to put the blame on the woman. So what if she was even wearing a miniskirt? Is that reason to be forcefully violated? No means no! Whatever she was wearing, she didn't deserve to be raped. It is about time we put an end to this dastardly rape culture. For crying out loud, blame the perpetrator not the victim.

And for your information, a beast who wants to rape a woman would rape her, not minding if she's swaddled in blankets from head to toe. Like you haven't read of children being raped. Pray tell me what they must have done to attract their rapist since it's now the fault of the victim.

A person who gives an excuse for rape is certainly no different from someone who stands by and watches the act being committed. You are simply a rape apologist. I really wish we will be careful with our actions and words. Too many women have been violated and they are not strong enough to tell their stories. And people like you continue to crop up, minimising their suffering. It really is disheartening.

my bad. I thought it was on YouTube. I think it's an iroko movie.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Winner90:
Good. It could be better with their synoses.

@Winner90, please do you have the link to get Breaking Chains? I've been searching for the movie for a long time. It's not on YouTube

Remember nollywood classics like Ijele of the late 90s and early 2000s?
Whether Silent night or Darkest night, Igodo or Ibuka, End of the wicked or Endurance, All my life or Blood sister, Executive crime or First lady, or even Ego igwe! These movies are a product of stories well crafted, complex with sub-plots, and scripts well delivered.

I think these movies were made great by their ability to move, thrill and teach viewers lessons.

What other nollywood movies in recent years(let's say five years or more) moved you, stole your attention until it ended, and handed you some lessons?

FOR ME, I'll list the five I remember with their synopses.

Oath From Birth Starring Nosa Rex, Bam bam, Sam Obiago etc
It is the story of a brilliant young graduate languishing in the village. He encountered mysterious and painful failures on account of his refusal to lead the kindred dirty, reserved for first sons. The movie scared me by the way spiritual forces manipulated faces and reality to bring the young man misfortunes. You'll learn that where your navel was buried matters and how it pays for a lady to be loyal to a man who is promising.

Breaking chains Starring Zuby Michael, Nosa Rex, Rita edochie, Eve nssien, Echelon mbadiwe etc

A strong and courageous girl with sickle cell undertook to do the work of a domestic servant for a rich family on behalf of her mother. A man had died and the son claimed a number of people owed his father and vowed to recover the money by all means. One of the debtors, a woman, didn't have the money and had to pay by serving the family for one year or two (I've forgotten). Since the young girl hated his mothers humiliating condition, opted to do the work instead. Although the rich family didn't know about her health condition for most part, their action towards her changed from hostility and humiliation to affection.

The Duplex Starring Mike Ezuruonye, Omoni Oboli etc
In a funny and scary manner, a young couple were tormented by a ghost in their new house. After some enquiries, the strange phenomenon had to do with the man who built the house.
At least, we learned that buying instead of building a house can be problematic too.

Baby Boy Starring Frederick Leonard, Peggy ovire, Ruth Kadiri etc

It is a story of a man who was obsessed about having a son and maltreated the wife as a result. In fact, he abandoned her in the hospital after giving birth to another baby girl. Events lead him into getting another mistress and throwing the wife away. The mistress still couldn't give him the boy while the now homeless wife gave birth to much awaited baby boy and lost him to malaria. The one he married as a saviour finished him and left him poor while the one he rejected as worthless found a saviour and ended up rich. The lesson is patience.

Wife against Wife Starring Ken Erics, Chinenye Ubah etc
I watched this about two months ago. while discussing it yesterday, it was coincidentally shown. It is the story of a rich young couple disturbed by a woman's spirit at home. It happened that before the young man attained success and got married, he had done everything possible to succeed in life all to no avail. He once became a taxi driver and one day knocked a young lady down killing her. The dead girl's family tricked him into paying her bride prize, giving rise to the later jealous ghost. Attempt for spiritual solution to the torment unraveled a deeper secret- the one which caused his initial failures in life. 21 years earlier as a pupil, he had taken/ stolen his mother's money to give his child friend for school fees and the parents rained curses on the "thief" not knowing it was their son. They reversed the curses at night upon the return of the money by son's school teacher, except the curses the father spoke to the sun. He was later set free through prayer. The lesson is the power of the tongue and the danger of speaking carelessly. Also the role of a wife in spiritual intercession for her home.


pls share your good nollywood movies of recent times.
