Dear human;
Rape is bad. We know. We condemn it. We want swift justice
for those who raped Uwa.
But you see one thing?
You cannot blackmail me for not talking enough.
Not after some of you turn every issue into either an Igbo man
or Nigerian man bashfest.
It only says one thing.
It reveals you are not as smart as your advocacy suggests.
You blunt whatever empathy you get by silly stereotype and
bashing.
Look at the United States.
There are whites who know the injustice blacks face.
Some even risk life and limb to join their African American
counterparts in demonstrations.
The African Americans know the value of having beneficiaries
of a system by their side.
History is replete with such arrangement.
Part of the reason apartheid ended was because the white
dominated government sincerely thought it had enough.
Part of the reason colonialism ended was because movements
from within colonial masters thought it was unsustenable.
Slave trade did not end because the Blackman suddenly had
power.
You cannot say “lend your voice”, then you drop updates upon
updates giving blanket castigations on men.
You cannot say “what have you done for the cause” when the
person you are asking is reeling from being falsely stereotyped
by you.
That is a thorough lack of emotional intelligence, and a
suggestion to many that your anger is about vengeance, not
justice.
I will not tolerate anybody coming to tell me to “lend my
voice” when I don’t get the basic respect accorded a human.
Take your anger somewhere else. 31 Likes 8 Shares |

Rapist should be arrested and prosecuted. Amnesty International is an American organization - have you ever hear them condemned all the killings of Blacks in America? NOPE. They are only interested in talking about Africans and others. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Rape is disgusting. It is a dumb behavior for dumb people. It is a mark of inferiority complex I still wonder what people enjoy in a forceful sex Anything to put a stop to it is welcomed We are very religious but we are very deficient in the practice of "love your neighbor as yourself" |

This is serious. That girl doesn't deserve to die like that but so did thousands of Nigerians who perished because of the government's inability to provide adequate security. The security situation is getting worse. Pretty soon this country might become what we hardly recognize anymore, if drastic steps isn't taking with immediate effect. 2 Likes |

NONSENSE Nigeria has not declared power crisis, which has ruined its economy for decades Now...AI wants the government to declare RAPE crisis. These guys have run out of ideas. I'm sure many countries have more rape cases than Nigeria, including India. Those countries still downplay it. We need to find out why people are getting raped before talking about declaring any crisis While rape is condemnable, this country has more important things to worry about (like Covid-19 crisis and wanton killings in Nigeria's north) 4 Likes |

The biggest impediment to tackling and prosecution of rape cases in Nigeria has always been the police. They see rape as normal because they themselves are perpetrators. 1 Like |

Let us end the first page of this very important thread by making our input...... All rapists should be sentenced to DEATH....after adequate and thorough investigation. There should be no 2 ways about it. This will deter some dogs from raping our girls.... The girl in Jigawa that experienced rape at the hands of 11 men on different occasions; did not do anything wrong. She did not dress in a revealing manner. In fact, she is just a 12-year-old girl. To those people looking for a reason to blame the victim, sorry, she did nothing wrong. Furthermore, the gruesome rape and murder of Uwaila Omozuwa in a church shows that no place is indeed safe. No one can blame her for being at the wrong place. No one can blame for going to ‘his’ place at night. She was reading in a church. A place of refuge, a place she felt most secured. However, she underestimated the fact that a beast was lurking around. So sad. The dastardly rape and brutal murder of Uwa has invalidated all claims and views about rape. How could she have prevented what happened? If her parent had called that day and she told them she was reading in a church; they would have had no reason to be concerned. However, they got the worst news a parent could ever get. ‘Your daughter is dead, raped and killed in a bloody church.’ A girl/woman is constantly vulnerable to rape. As a toddler, she is at risk of rape from people most trusted by her parents. At the risk of family members or relatives raping her. In school, her teacher could be a beast in human form. Even her friend’s or boyfriend’s place is also a dangerous place? So where is safe for her? The truth is that a girl/woman should not be in constant fear. Everywhere and every place should be safe for her. She is not responsible for caging those perverts. That’s the job of society. Maybe all men are potential rapists that need to undergo some sort of therapy. We owe it to our daughters, wives, and mothers to immediately commence a national awareness on rape. Organize therapy sessions to purge traits of rape in everyman. Because the animals that perpetrate rape are not products of immaculate conception. Indeed, they are born by women, perhaps have female siblings, and maybe even female children (Lord have mercy). Rape is indeed a pandemic, a never-ending pandemic. According to a National Survey carried out in 2014 on Violence Against Children in Nigeria; it was confirmed that one in four females reported experiencing sexual violence in childhood; with approximately 70% reporting more than one incident of sexual violence. In the same study, it was found that 24.8% of females aged 18 to 24 years experienced sexual abuse; prior to age 18 of which 5.0% sought help, with only 3.5% receiving any services. These statistics are grim enough. Unfortunately, rape is under-reported. People, due to stigmatization don’t want to report rape. We have a justice system that makes reporting rape seems like adding extra burden on the victim. The same police that victims are supposed to report to allegedly raped sex workers with sachet water nylon in Abuja not too long ago. Even at that, there is a need to have a system that can guarantee justice; for both the accused and the victim without destroying both in the process. I understand that there is a national outrage in the wake of the sad incident involving Uwa. People are angry. Personally, I am livid. But the anger should be directed at creating a solution. Changing the existing legislation, awareness on rape and most importantly; everyone needs to create that safe environment for girls/women. If you hear a troubling sound from your neighbour, knock on that door and ask questions. If you see a man or a boy getting too cozy with a little girl; poke your nose in the matter. In fact, your little “amebo” could help prevent rape or molestation. Parents, take time to talk to your sons and male wards that a girl’s body is her absolute right with her total discretion on whom and when to give. Consent is hers to give and withdraw at will. In fact, she can give at first round and withdraw it at second. More so, she has the right to withdraw such consent in the middle of the action. Also, parents, you should be your daughters’ confidant. Let her be able to talk to you. Father, sex talk with your daughter is not gross. Let her be able to talk to you. There is nothing like settling it within the family. If punishing perpetrators of rape would shatter the family, then let it be. If the animal had thought about the family, he would not have done it. As tempting as it is to talk about rape and molestation of boys also, I will refrain from it. Today is all about girls and women. The only hope would be that we would not have to wait until tragedy strikes again; before raising a voice. False rape accusation Creating a rape-free society as elucidated earlier involves getting everyone behind it. Most importantly men, not just because the main transgressors are of our gender. But because the victims are our siblings, mothers and children. Also, we are vulnerable to false accusations. Creating a better justice system that will guarantee justice for victims in rape cases; will also help people facing false accusations. This is not just a time for rage. It is a time to work in creating that system which works for all victims. The lack of a reliable system has made people turn to social media for settling or seeking justice on rape-related cases. However, social media has shown that it is not equipped for the endeavour. As a court of opinion, yes, but a court of justice, no. It is in everyone’s best interest to create a safe environment for our girls and women. But most importantly, on the rare occasion that some beat the safety net; there should be a place for swift and fair justice. S.O ALL OF US @ [/b] SAY NO TO RAPE over and over again!! [b] And as we are SAYING NO TO RAPE, WE ALSO SAY NO TO FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF RAPE. They are both as DANGEROUS as one another! Bobbyfreshhh:#WeDidOurPart 3 Likes 4 Shares
