These shocking photos shows the disasters after floods in Louisiana – caskets that had washed up from a graveyard floated down the street in Denham Springs.
President Barack Obama declared the state as one in disaster on Sunday after the historic flood left at least five people dead, with emergency crews working to rescue thousands more.
Governor John Bel Edwards said more than 10,000 people are now in shelters and more than 20,000 people have been rescued across south Louisiana.
More than a foot of rain fell overnight on Friday – in a deluge estimated to occur once every 500 years, according to the Pacific Standard.
So after years of malice and grudge against each other, Nigerian classic musicians, 9ice and Ruggedman have finally put a end to their beef which lasted for years!
Sharing the photo above, the rapper explained why he and the singer put an end to long term beef. Below is what he wrote:
What 9ice and I did for the industry with the song Ruggedy Baba is huge and more important than any alleged beef.
That’s why I decided to make the new song about our positive contribution to our industry and not about beef.
I decided not to add anything about the past in the new song “Religion” cos thats one negative, misinterpreted aspect of our lives i want buried with the past.

An infuriated mother has heavily slammed a department store after they told her that she could only breastfeed her baby in the bathroom of the store.
Whittney Hope, from Tennessee, was shopping at the US store Dillards, in her hometown of Chattanooga, when her young daughter needed to be fed.
She was then told by a member of staff that she could only breastfeed in a secluded part of the store, but Whittney was then told that she would have to do so in the bathroom instead.
As she was leaving, Whittney spotted a large advert in the store of woman modelling lingerie. Furious, she decided to feed her tot in front of the poster, snapping a powerful picture in the process.
The frustrated mum wanted to show the irony of being told to go to the bathroom to feed her daughter, when advertising in the store showed a woman’s breasts blown up to large proportions on a poster.
After complaining to the store manager, Whittney headed home and posted the photo to the Dillard’s Facebook page alongside a comment about what happened.
She wrote:
This afternoon while shopping in your store, (Hamilton Place- Chattanooga) my daughter got really fussy. I searched for a quiet secluded area to nurse my child.
When I found a place I asked if it was okay for her to eat here. The employee at customer service nodded. I then began to nurse my child. I didn’t use a cover up (I did that in the pic to prove the irony) I discreetly pulled my shirt down and her head covered me up. The same lady then told me I could not “do that” here.
She told me I would need to go to the restroom. I was completely shocked as I have never had anyone comment on me breastfeeding in the whole 18 months I have been nursing. Yet alone, another woman, possibly a mother herself. I repeated her to make sure I understood.
Annoyed, she began to tell me the directions to the restroom again.. (Down the hall, take the elevator, then around the corner) I’m sure my hungry child would understand that we have to take a journey to somewhere more secluded where she can eat.. NOT.
I immediately went and asked for the manager so I could file a formal complaint (which I did online) As we were leaving the store I passed by this advertisement for bras. I mean seriously the lady’s face is not even in this. Why is it acceptable for a giant picture of BOOBS to be on the wall but I can not feed my child?
Sincerely,
Pissed off Mommy who will never be shopping at Dillards again.

Bad guys in this context are referred to guys who are not so dangerous and violent and are irresistible by 90% of women.
A bad guy is known to be confident and has set boundary rules guiding him. He hardly bends to the will of others to please them; he pleases himself first before considering others around him.
The bad guy works effortlessly to get that girl you have being dreaming about and sweeps her off her feet with mind blowing sexual fantasies; in most cases still leaves her heart broken and longing for more. He is the guy women fantasizes about and can practically do anything to have him. She can stake her neck for him even if her family and friends don’t like him.
Bad guys have this appealing and incredible traits that keep women endeared to them even with the after effect regrets, you still find many women willing to risk it. Women are always overwhelmed with the excitement of having them (bad guys) because there can never be a recorded boring moment around them; until when they are hurt, their senses returns.
Let’s kick-off with the reasons why women are more attracted to the bad guys than the good guys!
The push to redo what is familiar like the father-daughter connection
Many women idealize their father, especially if the father-daughter relationship was a good one. They always have this funny feeling that Dad will be impressed if they both share same traits. So, if her father was rebellious and shared most of the bad guys traits, there is every possibility that the said woman will always have a strong attraction with the bad guys. Personally, I’m a typical example because I glue to my father more than my mother. With that I’m always out to see that traits of him whenever I meet any man. If I don’t see 70% of his traits in you, then you will automatically be dismissed or fired.
A miserable day for the former Chelsea keeper went from bad to worse in the aftermath of Arsenal’s defeat.
Liverpool have defeated Arsenal at home for the first time in seven years following a 3 – 4 win in their opening game of the 2016/2017 Premier League season.
The match was marred by various injuries as Aaron Ramsey, Iwobi, Coutinho were all substituted.

According to H-Metro News, Zimbabwe, a HARARE prophet with the Johanne Masowe eChishanu church has allegedly threatened to kill a congregant after his adulterous affair with the man’s wife came to light.
Benjamin “Stailodge” Mashange (First Photo) whose current location is unknown since he was evacuated from his previous residence at number 11 Parklane Court in the city is said to have had an affair with a married woman, Febbie Muromba, 27.
Febbie’s husband Lewis Tsvere (Second Photo), 38,said Benjamin admitted the affair and signed an agreement in which he promised to pay back the lobola (Dowry) Lewis paid for his wife of 11 years.
However, Lewis highlighted that he is scared for his life as Benjamin has threatened him with death if he continues to ask for his money.
“This man is a well respected prophet in our church but he lured my wife into bed a number of times since 2014 until I caught them this year.
“He even slept with my wife in my matrimonial bed. When I discovered the affair, my wife confessed that she had been sleeping with Benjamin.
“Benjamin also admitted that he was sleeping with my wife. As a result he promised he would pay back my money I paid as lobola. He said he was going to pay me US$3 000 in installments starting March of this year but up to date he has only paid US$200.
“When I asked him why he was not paying the money like he promised he threatened to kill me or to make me poor. Akati ane simba rekundinamatira kuti ndife kana kuti ndiite murombo. Anototyisa nekuti muporofita.
“I was really disappointed because this man used to pray for us as a family. I did not know that he was eyeing my wife all along. He was our family prophet. I did not realise that relying on him for our spiritual lives was a gate pass for him to have sex with my wife.
“He is a menace to the church and to the society as a whole. My wife told me that when she first slept with Benjamin it was at his house where he had called her for prayers. She said she eventually got used to sleeping with him.
“Ndohunhu hwake he does that to women who have rich husbands. He asked my wife to sell one of our houses and runaway with him. He is a greedy person he loves money too much. Both Benjamin and Febbie confessed their affair before other congregants.
“Right now Benjamin is saying hapana zvatomuita and he is not going to stop prophesying and anyone who writes the story will die.
Lewis said Benjamin has to pay back the lobola he paid like he promised.
He also said he was hurt because Benjamin whom he believed to be a true prophet proved that he was a fake prophet who was only after money.
The cheated man said his family has been destroyed by a person who claims to be a true prophet of God.
Efforts to reach Benjamin and Febbie were fruitless as their mobile phones went unanswered by the time of going to print.

A 23-year-old woman from Kajiado, Kenya is currently nursing wounds she suffered from a brutal beating allegedly orchestrated by her 85-year-old husband.
Jane Sankei said her elderly husband ordered his sons to beat her for returning home late from a river.
According to the area Assistant Chief and the woman herself, the suspects who were her husband’s sons who were all older than her, they beat her up and stripped her naked in front of her young daughter.
After the beating, she picked up her child and ran straight to the home of the Assistant Chief who took a pity on the mother and child and gave them a place to sleep that night.
The next day he took them to a nearby police station so she could make a report and write a statement and then to the hospital where her broken bones were treated and other parts of her body were treated as well.
A grassroots non-governmental organization known as ‘Networking for women’ has promised to help her seek justice against her husband and his sons.
According to Nollywood diva, Queen Nwokoye, not every actress took a short cut to stardom, stating that she is proudly one of them.
Nwokoye was reacting to the topic concerning actresses who sleep with movie directors in an interview published by Punch News’ Sunday Scoop on August 14, 2016.
She stated that she has been fortunate not to be in that type of situation, and that unlike most people, she did not have to relocate to Lagos before she became a star.
“Lagos is too rowdy. It’s too busy for me. In Lagos, everybody is hustling. I am not a hustler. All my life, I have never had to hustle for anything, anything I have came to me, including stardom.”
“If it is true that actresses have to sleep with producers to get roles, I’m happy I didn’t have to do so. Sometimes, it is people’s way of trying to explain away their failure. I didn’t pass through it.”
“From my experience, nobody ever asked to sleep with me. If you present yourself as someone that can sleep around to get roles, people will treat you that way. But the truth is how many people do you want to sleep with before you become famous?”
Mavins Record Singer, Aphro Di’ja has finally shown us the face of her child.

Lola Rae is gradually finding her way into the Nigerian music scene or maybe she has if you are a music lover. The 25-year old in a chat with Samuel Olatunji has however defended women who hardly cook for their husbands. Lola says, please don’t blame them especially if they have a career.
According to her she can cook for her husband if she is a full house wife, but in this case whereby she has a striving career she might not be able to do that despite she loves to cook. Hear her;
“Yes, I was brought up in a home where my mum cooked for my dad every single day, but she was a housewife. My thought is if you have the time, it is okay to cook for your husband, but in a situation where you are a career woman and don’t have the time to cook, there are ways you can go about it. You can hire someone to do the cooking for you or cook in bulk on weekends and store in the freezer.”
Speaking further, she said she would cook if she had the time.
“Definitely, if I have the time, I will cook because I love to do so. If God allows me and gives me the time do that, I will cook every day.”
Blogger, Linda Ikeji was the first to publish the story that the #SaveMayowa Campaign which raised over 100m and $100k was a scam.
After days has gone by, the Police has investigated the issue and can authoritatively tell Nigerians that it wasn’t a scam campaign.
Linda has since apologized for publishing the story. What she wrote below:
People who know me well will tell you that the easiest and fastest way to get money out of me is to tell me you’re sick. I hate seeing people that helpless.
Over the years, I’ve donated and also used my platform to raise money for several sick people, including Mayowa Ahmed.
Early morning on July 28th, I received a call saying the #SaveMayowa campaign was a scam. That the lady was terminally ill and the family had no intentions of using the money raised for her health to treat her as they had no invite from the hospital in Atlanta, neither did she even have a visa to the US. Please continue…
They wanted me to blog it quickly so people could stop donating. I found it hard to believe at first but it was coming from people who were directly involved in raising money for the sick girl. I sent someone to LUTH to investigate, he got there and found chaos. The Police was already involved, people were being questioned, some folks were shouting, he spoke to people in the hospital and many seemed confused. I spoke with those who had called me, and they said 1000%, the whole thing was a scam.
And I sincerely believe that at the time they told me this, they genuinely believed it to be a fact. I don’t think it was done maliciously. After they sent me documents showing the hospital in Atlanta was not really involved in Mayowa’s treatment and LUTH medical directors denied knowledge of a fund raising for the sick girl, I believed it to also be a fact! And I wrote it. My mistake, I think, was owning the story, I probably should have quoted them. And maybe investigated more. My apologies to the family! The post has since been taken down.
After investing properly, the police found it wasn’t a scam, that it was more a miscommunication between the parties helping to raise funds and the girl’s family. I spoke about the issue with the Lagos police PPRO and she assured me that the family didn’t have bad intentions.
What I am happy about is that; even if the family had had dubious intentions initially, now they can’t do any of that, as everyone is now watching. So maybe a good thing came out of the whole chaos.
The happy news is that Mayowa has been flown to South Africa for treatment. She left Nigeria on Thursday August 11th.
May God use her case to show that He is God!
Let’s continue to pray for her!
Veteran actor, Pete Edochie, is angry! The thespian said even in this age and craze for social media, he doesn’t have any account yet so many accounts have his name and so many posts are attributed to him.
In a telephone chat with Punch, the actor said he was tired of people using his name falsely on social media.
“Right now, I’m watching football in my house, but as I speak to you, some people are posting on Facebook or Twitter, using my name and picture. It’s either they are talking about politics, state of the nation, ascribing series of proverbs to me or using my name to counsel people about marriage. Someone asked me how I had time to put plenty proverbs on Facebook. I told the person I wasn’t responsible for them and that I didn’t even have a Facebook account, and she couldn’t believe it. Some people said I sat with Mourhino in one of the profile pictures and that I was telling him the gods were angry with him. Then, they posted another one that Buhari came to consult with me in my shrine.
“From time to time, you would hear or read that Pete Edochie died in London or on location. In our culture, if people wish you dead, you’d attend the person’s funeral. I’m satisfied with what life has given me. I don’t envy anybody and I don’t want to be anybody. I just want to be left alone as Pete Edochie.
“Somebody woke me up a few days ago and pointed my attention to what was written in my name about (Senator Ike) Ekweremadu. I was surprised. I don’t know him neither do I have any issue with him.
Again, few days ago, it was also posted that Federal Government needed me for something. All the nonsense people write about me, I’m not happy about it.
“I’m not a politician, and I am not the only actor in this country. Throughout the campaign during the last general election, I didn’t campaign for anybody, yet on the social media you see people using my name to express support for one candidate or the other.”
Edochie said what has saved him in all these is his command of English and his intelligence.
“I speak very good English, and those posting those things in my name write in the way I can never write. That is the saving grace. Just recently, someone informed me that he saw somewhere in my name that I wrote on one of these platforms that people should come and pay N50,000, as according to them, I was organising a programme. What programme?”
Edochie said he chose to keep quiet in order not to allow the false stories to continue.
A very shocking and despicable conversation between a white girl and an African boy she threatened to falsely accuse of rape is serving rounds on Social media.
Phillip Ofori, a tweep who shared the story on Twitter, revealed that it happened to his friend.
The young man, who was to be falsely accused, had kicked the white lady out of his hotel room because she was too drunk and acting disorderly only to get the rude threat from her with boastful claims that she can make it happen.
Nollywood sweethearts, Gbenro Ajibade and wife Osas‘ daughter, Azariah got quite a lavish gift from her godfather Amb. Karo Ekewenu yesterday.
The infant’s overwhelmed father took to his IG page to share the news alongside photos.
The gift – an exotic Range Rover SUV, has of course caused some Nigerians to comment – some complaining that the gift was unnecessary – saying why give the child a Range Rover when you can open a trust fund for her instead with the same money.
What are your thoughts? A fine gift or it could have been given in a much wiser way?
A 54 year old Catholic priest has been publicly put to shame after one of his secret wives exposed their affair.
Very Reverend Father Peter Zuni, was the parish priest at Queen of Apostles Catholic Church, Kakuri parish, Kaduna State. He was engaged in a secret marriage to two women, an act that led to his being disrobed and sack from the priesthood. Parishioners are still in shock following the revelation.
According to Sunday Sun, one of the wives is already late, while the surviving one who blew the whistle about three weeks ago over the secret marriage is said to be nursing a child for the embattled priest.
According to the doctrine of the Catholic Church, only unmarried men are ordained into the priesthood as they are obligated to swear to an oath of celibacy and observe perfect and perpetual service for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.
This, it is believed, would enable the priests to easily remain close to Christ with an undivided heart, and dedicate themselves more freely to the service of God and the congregation.
When Sunday Sun visited the premises of the Queen of the Apostles parish, some parishioners confirmed the report, which they said was initially thought to be mere rumour.
The parishioners who spoke on condition of anonymity said they were shocked and surprised to learn of a petition to the Bishop of Kaduna Archdiocese, Bishop Ndagoso Manoso, that two women had children for their parish priest, an act considered to be an abomination and grave sin against the Catholic doctrine.
They pointed out that in order to cover up the priest’s ‘sin’ from spreading to the larger public, the Archdiocese allegedly organised a send off for the embattled priest to a remote village in Jaba Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
“During the send off, the priest was not allowed to make a farewell speech, and many people refused to take photographs with him. There was little or no felicitation with him because most of the time he was seen standing aloof under a mango tree without anybody going close to him.
“Nobody can say when the priest committed the alleged sinful act. If it happened before his ordination, he wouldn’t have been ordained, so probably it was after his ordination, and you know, God does not sleep, no matter the length of cover up, one day the bubble will burst. And the bubble has burst now,” the parishioner said.
However, when Sunday Sun contacted the disrobed priest on his telephone line, and sought comments on his alleged controversial transfer from the city to a remote village, he said:
“Nobody is ordained to remain and work in the city. I have spent five years as parish priest of Queen of Apostles, so I can work anywhere, city or village.”
On the allegation of his involvement in secret marriage to two women who bore children for him even as a Catholic priest, he neither denied nor confirmed the allegation. Rather he said:
“I find it difficult myself to believe what people are saying about me. I will not comment on it now. I will follow due process to invite you for an interview, but I am afraid, the newspaper of the archdiocese, The Cross News, may carry this story before you (Sunday Sun).”
Rev Fr. Zuni further said he is currently based in Suleja, Niger State. But Sunday Sun gathered that parishioners were made to believe that the embattled priest was transferred to Gumel village in southern Kaduna, while he was actually sacked from the priesthood.
Unfortunately, parishioners lamented that the controversial priest’s first name, Peter, reminded them of the biblical Peter who denied Jesus three times before the cock crowed.
When contacted, the Archbishop of Kaduna Catholic Diocese, Bishop Ndagoso Manoso also confirmed the report to Sunday Sun in his office along Tafawa Balewa Way, Kaduna.
Bishop Manoso who was almost in tears when he spoke on the matter, said Father Zuni actually committed the sin. He said that what the priest did, brought a sad moment and embarrassment to the entire archdiocese.
The embattled priest was his classmate in the seminary more than 30 years ago. Bishop Manoso said that he could imagine the spiritual and psychological torture the priest could be going through over this sinful act.
The Archbishop also expressed worry over the health condition of the disrobed priest who is known to be diabetic and dependent on daily injection of insulin.
On how the bubble burst over the secret matrimonial relationship, Bishop Manoso said the woman at the centre of the storm confronted him with a baby said to belong to Father Zuni, and after due investigation by his office, it was confirmed that the priest was her secret husband.
Bishop Manoso said:
“It is very unfortunate that this thing had to happen in my diocese. It is not an easy thing for me; if I tell you what I have been going through in the past few weeks over this issue; it has not been easy for me. Father Zuni was my classmate; we spent seven years in the seminary. At a time he proceeded to Kaduna Polytechnic and read Accounting.
“But this thing happened and nobody knew. But he has to face the sanction. We sacked and disrobed him because what he did is no longer compatible with his vocation as a priest. It was not true that he was transferred to any village. He was about to be transferred on normal routine, but when I heard of this story, I had to cancel the transfer and sacked him.
“It is true that he had affairs with two women and they both had children for him, but one of the women is late already. We are not God, we did not know on time until now that he was having affairs with two women.”
He spoke further:
“The church said the priest has to go because the church doesn’t allow priests to marry. So he had to go and look after his children and his matrimonial home.
“You can now imagine what the priest is going through, either spiritually or psychologically. He must be going through hell on earth. This is my concern for him now. The woman and the kids will be going through trauma also.
“I have been trying to see how I can help him, but I don’t think I have the skills to help him. But he needs help to come to terms with reality.
“By December he will be 30 years in the priesthood, and he is now 54 years old, so at this age what can he do with his life. Nobody can employ him now. He spent seven years in the seminary and 30 years in the priesthood, and that is 37 years, so what can he do with his life at 54? The church too is going through a lot of trauma, so we need everybody’s prayers for us to put this incident behind us.”
Meanwhile the decision of the Catholic Church to disrobed and sack the priest has stirred reaction from a non-Catholic, Dr David Ehimhen, an optometrist and Pentecostal Christian, who said that the practice of celibacy which was compelled on individuals seeking to become ordained priests in the Catholic Church has clearly become outdated as it had always been contrary to the bible right from inception.
He said that early in the Church Age, Catholic priests were free to marry and have children, but later popes now imposed celibacy on priests.
Over the last 60 years or more, many priests have fallen foul of the rule of celibacy by having secret wives and children. His words:
“Well, right from time, we have always had people that were either in support or against Catholic priests marrying. They have their reasons. Some believe that the person would fully concentrate on the work of God; that is why they say that if you are a priest you should consecrate your life to serving God because they see marriage as a kind of distraction.
I don’t think that I am competent to make an official statement that the doctrine of the Catholic Church is right or wrong. But personally speaking I don’t believe that celibacy is right. That is one of the reasons why I am not a Catholic.
The bible does not say that if you are married you cannot serve God to the best of your ability or you must remain unmarried to be able to serve God well. When you give room to such things, that is why some people may be burning with desire and yet they say they are priests or that they are reverend sisters and yet they are burning with desire. That on its own is a sin. Why not just be yourself?
If you are a Catholic, and want to remain one and you have the grace to remain unmarried, you can go on and become a priest, but if you don’t have the grace, it is better you stop deceiving yourself because such people will not make heaven because they are living a double life. And that is why Apostle Paul also said that people who cannot be celibate but burn with desire should marry.”
The Police Command in Ogun State, has arrested a housewife, identified as Fatimoh Olanrewaju, for allegedly breaking the arms and legs of her 5-year-old stepson, Iyanu.
The toddler is currently on admission at Federal Medical Centre, Idi Aba, Abeokuta, Sunday Punch reports. Also the suspect is in custody of the Anti-Human Trafficking Department of the Command.
Olanrewaju had allegedly committed the crime at Onihale village along the old Abeokuta-Lagos Expressway. The biological mother of the victim was said to have divorced the father about two years ago, and the victim had been living with his stepmother and his father.
The stepmother was said to be in the habit of maltreating Iyanu. The last straw was the recent attack on the Iyanu, which resulted in fracture of the arm and leg, which made the neighbours to invite the police.
The victim was said to have been on admission at the FMC, Abeokuta since Thursday, August 11. The acting state Police Public Relations, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident, as well as the arrest of the suspect.
Yeah well, as it has become a craze to have a pre-wedding photo sessions in this digital era, lots of creativity has been put into the trendy act.
Days before that couple say “I Do” to each other, they have that photo session of when they were a “To-be-couple” – these sessions have become so rampant in that the scenery of some of them are either adorable, cool, lovely, or absolutely hilarious!
Either ways, these shoots are taken for memory sake of the new couple but thanks to social media, we get to see the best, most creative and all of these photos – something like the one you’re seeing above.
Don’t you just love the concept?! The groom patronizing his bride to be… Hehe… How lovely!
At a time when it has become a trend for celebrities to flaunt their pregnancies online, award-winning writer, Chimamanda Ngozi-Adichie, has said that pregnancy is a sacred state that a woman ought to be discreet about.
According to her, this is the reason she did not make it a public matter when she was expecting her child.
In a recent interview with UK’s Channel 4 News, where she spoke about racism in America and the UK, among other matters, Chimamanda said,
“I wanted my pregnancy to be something I shared with the people I love, with the people who know me. There is a kind of pregnancy as a trendy thing that I find very uncomfortable with and I deeply dislike expressions like ‘baby bump’.
“I find it very irritating. It was a very deeply introspective time, thinking about (how) my life is going to change forever and the enormousness of bringing a baby into the world. It was a sacred time for me and I wanted to share it with the people I love.”
Such approach to family matters also affects the way she has been keeping her child who, she, for instance, would want to lead an ordinary but meaningful life.
“I don’t want her to think it is normal to have her picture in newspapers, because it is not. Just because your mother happens to write and sometimes have her pictures in the newspapers, doesn’t mean you get to,” Chimamanda adds.
Although Chimamanda has lived in the US where she has phenomenally flourished as a writer, she is one new-generation Nigerian novelist who has not lost a sense of home.
From one book to the other, she edifies the Igbo spirit and seeks to get answers to socio-political questions that Nigeria still battle with.
Based on the stories she passionately tells in her works, such as Half of a Yellow Sun and Amerikana, she seems to have redefined phenomena such as westernisation, colonisation and globalisation – as she has proved that you can be at home even when you live away from home.
Read The Story Below as shared and narrated by Facebook User, Blessing Nwachukwu.
So many people have wondered who my immediate second sister was. Even friends never met her or saw a pic of her. When she passed away, my mom was so distraught that she burnt all pics and saved only this. Take a good look at this sweet and innocent face. Her name was Grace Chikere Nwosu and she was my sister.
I’m about to tell a story that hasn’t been told since 1994 not to gain sympathy but to advice and change lives. She never got to grow to leave a mark but I hope with this story, she does. I want her to be the face of children’s advocate cos she deserved at least that since her life was cut short at the age of 3 by a 22 year old man named Daniel whom I have never set my eyes on since 1994.
This story is the reason I went into talk show- not for personal fame but hope that one I will be famous enough to get people to hear my story but I can’t keep waiting so if this will save lives, then so be it.
If you know from my stories, we grew up in the slum of Mafoluku, Oshodi. Then when I turned six, my sister was three and my mom went to the hospital to give birth to a third child. Despite being poor, we were a very loving family and my parents still made sure we attended private schools but starved and drank Garri like for real not a metaphor. My mom used to say, education will change our condition.
This story isn’t about me today so I will skip the details of my past. Perhaps someday I will have the courage to tell my own story. So my mom had this house help whose name was Chidinma, she also went to school but lived with us to take care of us after school hours. My mom was a kind soul who took her like her own but Chidinma was blinded by greed. So on that fateful period, my mom went to the hospital with my dad and aunt for some days, Chidinma sold my 3 year old sister for 150 naira to my neighbor, Daniel… I was 6 and had no clue why my sister wasn’t home.
Little did I know that right in our face-me-I face you compound, Daniel RAPED my three year old sister till she bled. They returned her to our home to cover the act but my mom came home that day with my aunt and saw my sister bleeding and unable to move. My kid sister proceeded to give names then fell unconscious… Needless to say, she died after a week. She died on a Friday right in my mom’s arms and in my presence.
My mom dropped the court case and had us move. I never understood why but she said God would enact justice but I wanted court justice. I wanted Daniel to pay for his actions. Pay for robbing the life and innocence of my kid sister. I didn’t get that justice but had to live with that pain for so many years before I learned to forgive.
I put up her pic cos she’s late. The media doesn’t put up pic of rape kids cos they are underage and this perpetrators don’t get to realize what they did emotionally. I don’t know where Daniel is but I hope he sees this and remembers and apologizes to my family cos he not only ruined my sister but my trust in men when I was growing up. Made me live a life in fear of men until my dad, counselor and pastors gave me courage. She’s late since 1994 and she would have been 25.
She was lively and smart and even at three, had more guts than me and always defended me. I have never forgotten anything about her. I loved her and I lost her before we could spend our best years together. Dear rapists, these children are just kids. Helpless, selfless and defenseless. We are to defend them not ruin them. What is sexually attractive about a child? They don’t even have developed sexual organs except for peeing. Parents, be careful of who you entrust your child to. The world is dark. Anything is possible.
In five minutes, a rapist can change the life of their victim and loved ones. Just for five minutes pleasure, you ruin the lives of others. Control your five minutes urge. Sex with a child is without consent cos they are ignorant of life. A child can never seduce you. Please let’s fight for the lives of children. Let’s be Guardians all over the world and weed out perpetrators wherever. Never cover them up in fear of shame.
I put up this pic cos I’m the only legal in age survivor of my family. She’s late now for 22 years so I’m within my law. I wish her rest with the lord. Chikere Grace, mommy, daddy and our brother are with you now. You aren’t alone anymore. May all their souls rest in peace and may my sister’s name be remembered in honor of the lives she will save with her story. Love you all my late family, xoxo.
