we are getting killed like chickens!

There is being another report coming from the university of Calabar of a lady who went on a date with some guy she met on FB but never returned.  Couple of days later, her dismantled remains is said to be found somewhere in Abeokuta,  Ogun state. See picture below.

Please spare me the speech on 'why did she go meet a stranger or the talk on how girls prostitute to survive'. I am not interested in what the girls do, did or are doing to survive, provided it's not a crime.
The fact remains that our government has failed us and is still failing us and will continue to fail us until we all decide we have had enough.
 Security needs to get better,  laws needs to be enforced effectively and our men need to start having more respect for our womanhood.
We are no chickens!

Anyone searching or doing anything?

Why is being a woman becoming a crime in Nigeria ? 

Suffering and smiling

Doesn't it surprise you to see how much pretence  abused and violated women  have to put up just to 'fit in' in our societies, where it is a taboo to own up to been abused?
Record shows that African women have successfully embedded violence into their day to day lives, so much that it is no longer seen as a problem. Even in the worst situations some will still prefer to identify with their assailant than to openly declare the deed.

My fear is that if care is not taken, violence on women and girls will continue into the future. And our children, grand and great grand children would still not have learnt that women are no lesser beings than men.

The more people spreading the words on gender equality in Africa the better. So join in the campaign and spread the words, encourage your battered friend, neighbour, sister, mother, whoever to break the  silence on domestic violence and Violence against women And Girls.

Together we can change our world.

Sex slavery in Boko Haram's camps

Everyone is talking football or the 14th of February while mothers mourn  their dead, count their losses and grieve for their abducted daughters in Borno.

The same incident keep repeating itself over and over without a remedy or solution in sight. Human life no longer has value.

During the attack on Kawuri village the attackers promised to visit Konduga and lastly Maiduguri.

With the number of troops and resources available to the government, it is ridiculous to believe 18 villages and towns have been razed to the ground by these people.

All within 30 days, even the last attack happened less than 22km away from Maiduguri.
Innocent young girls were loaded into waiting trucks by Boko Haram. And taking to their camps, where they are sexually abused, forced to cater for their food and other needs.

This is pure terrorism and for those who still believe Christians are the main targets,  all the attacked villages are solely Muslim villages.

The main reason for the attack was the villager's cooperation with the government's troops as they formed vigilantes known as civilian JTF.

They kept receiving warnings from Boko Haram to either abandon vigilante activities or face the consequences but they chose to believe in the army.

The last letter these villages received before they were attacked read "you fear the goverment more, let the government save you now"  after which they unleashed terror on the villages.

The Nigerian army should storm these camps, if for nothing for the innocent young school girls abducted as sex slaves in Boko Haram's camps.

Imagine your daughter, sister or friend is abducted and kept as a sex slave. Oh my, and they are in their hundreds!.... Pls help to Rebroadcast this message.

where does it stop?

The case of a 2 year old girl been raped by a police corporal in Abuja Nigeria has been reported. So the question is where does it stop, who is to protect the vulnerable ones amongst us?

Fight back woman!

Do you know that majority of the molested, assaulted and raped woman in Nigeria just lay down there, allowing their attacker(s) do with them as they wish without fighting back?

Apart from the fact that there is no rule of order in the Nigerian society that would deal with these assailants if ever reported, I guess these victims are mostly just intimidated by our 'women degrading' culture,  that has with time reduced our women to mere objects.

Another issue that is mind blowing is the attention these women get if at all they dare go report this crimes. Most of the time they are treated as if they are the criminals and not the victims. Imagine after being raped a police officer that is supposed to offer you mental and psychological support is asking you questions like "what kind of clothing were you wearing when you were attacked, was your skirt too short, or was your dress revealing" ?
As if whatever the women wear determines if they get molested raped or assaulted!

At this point , women need to start fighting back strongly since it is obvious violence against women is not a priority to the Nigerian government. Even if eventually your attacker is still going to succeed in having his way with you, by figthing back, you might as well succeed in scratching his face, breaking his nose or breaking one or both of his balls while at it!
 At least then you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you just did n't take his act of cowardness lying still.
