I agree with this but I want to add that it could also be a case of “dem don chop am, make me sef chop my own”
This is why a girl reports her rape to the police and gets raped again by one or more of them.
It’s why they don’t think you should report rape if you’re not a virgin.
Let me tell you, he felt entitled to her because he believed he had “rescued” her, conveniently forgetting that providing that service was his job in the first place.
This is a recurring attitude among men like him here in Nigeria. They render services, offer jobs or do favours that women have willingly accepted, and somehow interpret those gestures as a licence to feel entitled to their bodies.
He also resorted to the familiar tactic of invading a young girl’s privacy and asking intrusive questions about her sexual experiences. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated occurrence, it is a pattern many women and girls encounter here in Nigeria where these men leave the focus to irrelevant questions.
Then he lied, claiming she made the first move. Another familiar excuse where his kinds here deny knowledge of the ages of the teenagers they pursue, insisting, “Na she like me o, she dey disturb me.”
As though that absolves them of responsibility. Even if a teenager shows interest, the adult is the one with the responsibility, maturity and obligation to maintain boundaries. It is not the child’s job to know better than the grown adult.
Keep arguing online that the patterns many of us are calling out are not concerning. But those willing to look beyond the argument can recognise something deeper.
When these behaviours repeatedly surface in other countries, it raises serious questions about the attitudes and cultural norms that have allowed them to thrive without sufficient condemnation back home in Nigeria.
You cannot keep dismissing a pattern and then act surprised when it becomes a recurring problem elsewhere.

I'm genuinely confused.
So after the inflation.
After the kidnappings.
After months of no light.
After tax and fuel hikes.
After terrible healthcare.
After salaries can't even keep up with feeding.
Election Day comes then:
You dress up, You leave your house, You queue under the hot sun, You vote for the same person again.
You are not normal.

Aunty Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire @Adejoke_O_A, why was money meant for our children’s classrooms paid into a restaurant account?
Ma, do you sleep well at night? Our children sit on bare floors, learning under trees. About 18 million of them are not in school at all.
Does your conscience not trouble you?
You are 67. Politics has fed you for decades, from commissioner all the way to SSA. Is it too much to ask that it feeds the next generation too?
Daniel Ojukwu asked you the same question. Today he is sitting in Kuje prison.
Isn’t it a terrible shame that we are begging you to consider the future of children young enough to be your grandchildren?
So here I am, asking again. Ask your sham United for Change NGO to petition me but Aunty Joke,
answer first. We will keep asking until you answer.

NIGERIANS, WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🇳🇬
INEC has restricted the amount of time each person can spend on its website, so we need as many people as possible to help with this exercise.
Here’s what we’re doing:
We’re counting the number of registered voters in each polling unit for 2027 and comparing it with the number of registered voters in that same polling unit in 2023.
INEC won’t show us the full register, so we have to do this ourselves, one polling unit at a time.
Here’s how you can help. It takes just 60 seconds!
STEP 1: Go to this link ⤵️
check.nigeriaelects.com
STEP 2: Copy the code generated where it says “Your Polling Unit”. It’s the code containing numbers and dashes.
STEP 3: Go to the INEC website and scroll down to “Find a Polling Unit”.
Paste the code you copied into the PU Code box and click “Find”.
STEP 4: The polling unit information will appear, including the number of registered voters.
Copy ONLY the number of registered voters (the whole number, without the dashes).
STEP 5: Return to the first website, paste the number into the space provided for registered voters and click Submit.
That’s all!
See the attached video for a visual guide.
60 seconds of your time can help us build a clearer picture of what’s happening with our voters’ register.
Please participate and share this with other Nigerians. The more people who help, the more polling units we can cover.
Let’s get to work! 🇳🇬

Good morning all, I’ll keep saying thank you because you people have come through in ways I never imagined.
My phone is still buzzing with alerts, I am super grateful🙏
May the universe be kind to you and all your loved ones.
Below is the total amount that have been gotten so far, a total of 5.5m and still counting.
The 1m is not reflecting in my account yet cos it was restricted for some reason, I’m still trying to sort that out.
Also, my Wema bank have been refusing some credit alert.

Hi Everyone, please I need your help.
I’ve battled Keloid since I was 2 as a result of the first ear piercing which was done at birth and was done wrongly.
My parents have gone through several options given to them and it keeps reoccurring.
I’ve done several surgical removal that I can’t even keep count both in general hospitals and private hospitals and they always finish up with kenalog as usual, I did cryotherapy for 2years with a popular Bumps clinic and the pain from the procedure almost paralyzed the left part of my body as it became weaker and I couldn’t use it, still it resurfaced.
Since 2015 I’ve been in and out of the hospital over this keloid, one general hospital suggested removing the whole ear which might cause another issue as it could still grow again.
I’ve been going through excruciating pains, every single day of my life I’m in pains, I’ve been popping painkillers like who’s taking candy, I barely sleep at night
Most days I’m awake till morning, once it’s night I get scared cos the pains becomes unbearable.
Sometimes I take sleeping pills just to get through the night.
I can’t go out, I can’t even show up for my business, my parents and siblings have had to give up their finances every single year because of me. Last year November, my sister single-handedly took care of the bills for the procedure I did.
At some point the Keloid started to accumulate abscess, it becomes so much that I’ve had to go through drainage process, I did one last year as well.
And all of these have made the keloid very aggressive and it grows faster by the day, the last removal procedure I did was in April of last year, the growth you’re seeing in frame 1 is just 1year and 7months growth which is unusually fast.
Since I finished my service year I’ve been at home because I couldn’t work with this condition, I even had to let go of a few job opportunities I was recommended for with the hope of getting this done before I fully commit.
A doctor I met recommended LASUTH earlier this year and since May I’ve been trying to get booked for surgery, initially I was booked for surgery but I wasn’t told everything it entailed, my first surgery date was September 11th and it was moved later on due to the strike.
I was opportuned to secure a consultation again with the Burns and Plastic unit (BPSU) yesterday in LASUTH and the consultant put me through everything I needed for the keloid to not reoccur.
He said I needed at least 2 Radiotherapy sessions of which one has to be done exactly 24hrs after the surgical removal and then another few weeks after.
After which I have to undergo chemotherapy and then post op care which includes injections, drugs,silicone creams, and any other recommended care.
The Radiotherapy is to be done in LUTH (I was given a reference letter for it) after making enquiries in LUTH, the estimate of one radiotherapy session was given at 2.5m, and I’ll be needing 2sessions which sums up to 5m. Then the surgery for the removal of the Keloid costs 1.2m and I’ve been able to come up with that. Then after the surgery I’m to undergo chemotherapy and post op care but I have not been told how much that would cost, so I am unsure of the entire cost of that but the estimation according to what I’ve researched is about 2m.
LASUTH have given me November 19th for my next and last consultation before the removal and this simply means I have to come up with the money for everything before then.
So in total what will be needed for the successful surgery and post op care is 8.2m of which I’ve already raised 1.2m and I’m left to source for 7m before the 19th of November.
This was really really hard for me to do as I have never done this before but this is my last resort as I have exhausted all my options and I have spent more than 6months alone trying to get booked with LASUTH.
Please help me get my life back together 🙏
Any amount will go a long way🙏

I am very very speechless right now.
I’ve been in awe since this afternoon, I really had cold feet posting this cos I never believed anyone could turn up for me like this.
For a while I’ve not been able to look myself in the mirror cos I do not like the image that stares back at me and sincerely I didn’t even know it was this big until I took this image this afternoon. All along I’ve been trying to act like I could handle it on my own, but I guess I was wrong.
I am super grateful to you all for the donations, the support, the reposts, the tags, the DMs, and every other ways you’ve been showing me support. It means a whole lot to me.
So far since I posted this, I’ve received the sum of 2m and still counting and to be honest I did not think I’d get this much, I am super grateful for this.
I still have about 5m to be raised before the 19th of November, I’m still soliciting for your help. Anything at all will be appreciated, may God honor and show you kindness the way you have shown me.
Thank you so much🙏

Dear Nigerians,
Anyone committing a crime is a criminal, whether they are everyday Nigerians, law enforcement agents, government officials or even the president.
The best way to stand against crime is to unite against it.
We must not allow Habiba to stand alone.
We must come together to speak with one voice and defend our democracy.
Tinubu and the APC are not planning to play fair.
They will use their thugs.
They will use security operatives.
They will use INEC.
But always remember that anyone trying to stop you from voting or trying to rig your vote is committing treason against Nigeria.
Whenever the law enforcement agents abandon their constitutional responsibility to protect law and order, we all become the last lines of defence.
In 2027, we are fighting for our lives, and we must not let criminals win.

Misogyny is such a fascinating exercise in illogical reasoning.
A male pilot jumps to his death, and a female student pilot successfully lands a plane in an emergency. Nobody questions whether men should be allowed to fly.
But let a woman who wasn’t even piloting scream in an emergency, and suddenly she’s evidence that women shouldn’t be pilots.
A man’s failure is an individual tragedy. A woman’s fear becomes an indictment of her entire gender.
