cooldee:People that suffer domestic violence always look perfect on the outside,even the people closest to them hardly suspect,the batterer usually look cool and calm,the victim usually hide their problem from the world in the name of protecting her man and marriage. Seeing a mark on her skull,do you really think she can do that to herself? Why would people start saying she died from domestic violence.In every rumour there is an iota of truth. How can someone just wake up and say that poor woman killed herself. Definately,that marriage isn't healthy 6 Likes |

Sad............ If her husband didn't kill her, someone has to explain the gash on her skull (If there really is one). Spousal abuse is usually well hidden, you never usually know the person is being abused, abuser are able to hide their marks well. For all those saying the know the couple and vouching for the husband: Never say never. I know some abused women........they always seem happy when outsiders are there since they don't want people knowing their spouse is violent, so they learn to hide the bruises and tell-tale signs. May her soul RIP, let's hope her killer gets caught. 4 Likes |

I think the person that said she knows the man and wife and kids and everyone is calm and cool should look at domestic violence cases. The marriage is always perfect to the outsider, that is why the shame is most and the woman quiet...until death. Unless that lady fell off a building, or ran in front of a bus, she was killed. The damage on one side of the body could mean a right handed person or left handed person, depending on the side, concentrated on the side easiest for them. It would also be good to find out if the suicidal attempts were after marriage. That could be because she felt helpless. Also she does look very calm. An insecure man will take advantage of that indeed. Most times the insecurity is most strong when the woman is intelligent and EVERYONE knows they are intelligent. At that point for his manhood, he might beat her to assert his dominance and to make sure she does not try to show her intelligence in his presence. I really hope her colleagues will not allow tradition to desecrate the memory of their colleague. Please do not allow the so called family shame to make you listen to their desire to cover it up if it indeed was domestic violence. Honor her well by fighting for her. Do not simply listen to the mom tell you she was suicidal. Sometimes our parents do not know us as well as they think. Listen to her friends, look at the evidence. Finally a sharp cut in her skull means a sharp object impacted her, a knife maybe? A plastic over her head could be the culprits way of preventing the blood lose. Ladies, if you are in an abusive marriage, leave! No man is worth it. You will find love somewhere else. God did not make his daughters to be the prey of insecure men. His deliverance was for everyone. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO RULE OF LAW IN NIGERIA AND THE ALLEGED KILLER-HUSBAND COULD ESCAPE JUSTICE. IF YOU'RE IN A VIOLENT RELATIONSHIP AND READING THIS, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT YOUR CLUELESS PASTOR OR PRIEST TELLS YOU, GET OUT OF THAT RELATIONSHIP RIGHT NOW BEFORE YOU BECOME THE NEXT VICTIM. THEN IT WOULD BE TOO LATE. WHAT A WASTE OF LIFE AND TALENT.

RIP. Hestia. The most intelligent girl in the class. Mankind has lost a gem. @all we have heard from a colleague on the issue. Let's not jumobto conclusions on the COD. We await the findings after investigations Modified. @Dalu thanks for the updates. Let's leave the family to grieve thier loss especially the husband. The issue of suicide is frankly looked upon with almost taboo like views in this country. It's hard to fathom but there it is. Once again RIP smart one. 1 Like |

Dymondgurl: Why not find out why the marraige failed rather that stack up against the 'society' we exploit to our advantage when times are good and vilify when things go wrong. The 'society' expects you to get educated and advanced. Why don't you kick against that. The fact that a union has failed has nothing to do with society rather it has all to do with the couple involved afterall there are millions of unions worldwide having no problems whatsoever and when I mean problems, problems that well within the abilities of the couples to handle them. You are a product of such. |

Reference:no one is blaming society Mr. What I meant was that society, especially the nigeran society expects a woman in an abusive marriage to stay put cos of the kids and cos of the stigma that comes with being divorced. But the lady in question put her life before anyother. If she obliged to the expectation of our society, I don't think she would be able to share her experience here. I have close friends facing this same problem. Pple tell dem" stay for the sake of your kids", "God is against divorce", "don't let another woman take your husband". Like its a do or die affair. We should all know when to stop. As the saying goes, "the dead cant speak". 2 Likes |
