A piece of my mind

Seems like I finally inspired someone to start writing, Awesome! This write-up was by my better half and she just poured out her heart, i'm sure you can sense the passion with which she expresses herself. I was going to give an introduction of what she wrote but on the second thought, I will just leave you to find out yourself. 

***********
Okay…so I have had a lot of thoughts on my mind lately and I have been finding it difficult to put my thoughts into words, you know,that moment when you have a thousand and one thoughts in the crevices of your mind. I mean deep down you and you can't but un-bottle the pent up mixed feelings.

I am sick and tired of hearing rape stories, it totally breaks my heart, and I just can’t imagine how the rape victims feel. Let's take a look at what rape really is. Rape is having the carnal knowledge of a another person without their permission or express consent and forcefully too, so I can also state that it is possible for a woman to be raped by her husband. I used to think it was only girls that could be raped but talking to my best friend, he brought it to my knowledge that the male gender can also be raped just that the female rape is on the high side, he even went further telling me about a woman in Canada, who sexually abused her son’s male friends and was facing trial for the act. And this brings me to the annoying and depressing case of pedophiles….I mean like seriously *straight face*.


What is so attractive to any man, old enough to control his sexual urge (between, I should think all men know how to control their sexual urges), in little girls that aren't mature? It just disgusts me and beats my imagination to know that some 30 yr old man will push his 'big thing' into a little girl's vagina, a girl who is about 10 yrs or less.  'Oga'  pedophile do you know what you do to this little ones? Do you know how damaged you leave them? Do you know what that dirty act turns these girls into? They are broken, shattered, destroyed on all sides; they feel less loved and guess what? That act destroys their love and outlook of life. That act even follows them into their relationships, oh how you destroy great destinies of our society, nation and world with that one dirty and abusive act!!!!!

Weeks back when I was on night duty at Lagos Island maternity hospital a 13 yr old girl was brought in, she had been raped by a 36 yr old man or so. He kidnapped her and after raping her he took her to Ajah and dumped her there. Like seriously if you must do haba!!!! I feel there are still cheap local babes, why put a girl through that trauma, hurt and pain? He was caught though but what hurts me is that the penalty for rape is less than 5 yrs in our country. At some point this year the rate of the pedophilia act increased amazingly, there were pictures flooding twitter of older men having their genitals in the mouth of little girls, I was disturbed and pained, I mean WHAT THE HELL!!!!! Don’t blame these girls if they become nymphs, you made them that way…..It’s so rampant in India and I love what the government there did weeks back, death sentence should be the penalty for such a crime because to me you have indirectly destroyed a life and in a way destroyed a generation and a hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Dear mother why do close uncles rape your little girls? Note: I am not saying it is your fault but what role did you play in educating your little girls about sex? Did you tell them what their privates are and also alert them that no one; I mean NO ONE was allowed to touch them there? Or that if anyone did as much as touch them on any sensitive part of their body they should let you know? This are questions I ask myself when uncles rape their nieces because trust me it started from somewhere…it started from a Jane sit on my laps, smacking of Jane’s butt unnecessarily saying they are just playing with her, calling Jane my small wife, which small wife? Rebuke such statements as soon as it’s being made! Even with the aunts too, touching the little girls growing breast….I am sorry if I am taking this too far but hey! Don’t blame my mind. I think its high time parents learned and got used to enlightening their kids about these things. I am not a mother yet so if you are saying what does she know about parenting 'sef', you are right I know nothing but I know and feel that the relationship between parents and their kids should be as though they are best friends; get involved dear mum and dad, oh yes! the dads are not left out! Be involved in their everyday life it’s not just about school and assignments, be accessible!!! Let your kids be free to tell you personal stuff, make yourself their daily living diary, avoid a certain level of closeness between your daughter and one uncle or you son and one aunt. Talking about house helps, honestly, only God can save parents from the hands of the wrong house helps. No one knows the heart of man, pray for your kids and also pray that God touches the hearts of whoever you leave them with. God help us all and I pray that we have the grace to be the best parents we can be, AMEN!

  3. This an evil act. what kind of man would dream of inflicting such horror on a poor girl.
    The crazy thing is that where police are found to be foot dragging, civil society organisations should be alerted, who in turn would ensure that justice prevail.
    Since rape cases are now becoming an epidemic and should be treated as a public health issue by all including stake holders, the society truly needs people that would talk about it so that the public would know how to deal with such situations.
    Victims were usually threatened by the perpetrators to scare them from telling their parents, i believe parents should spend more time with their children so that they could monitor activities and whereabouts.
    Also parents should spend more time with their children, teach them about Sex education, and how to defend themselves in cases where they are exposed to the threat of rape.
    Well, Baba God save naija. Nice 1 Elo..
