Men take advantage of the chaos created by war and instability to rape children. This poor baby can’t even sit properly because of the injuries she sustained during the ordeal! Congolese children are being abused and exploited in every way imaginable. I’m so angry.
i love when you read a book and you become so emotionally invested in it, and when you walk around public places after reading it you feel like you’re in this bubble by yourself, like you’re so deeply inside your mind you’re actually out of touch with reality.
Anyway, just want women around me to understand, you need to start aspiring towards financial independence with the exact same urgency society wants you to aspire towards marriage.
VDM is 100% right about what he said. My own experience was brutal.
During my abduction, I experienced what can only be described as slavery in the hands of bandits. After my family struggled to gather ₦15 million and other items they demanded, we thought the nightmare would end. Instead, the very next day, they increased the ransom to ₦55 million. That was when the real suffering began.
The group that kidnapped me had abducted 11 people. My driver was killed. Out of the remaining victims, 9 were eventually released, but I was not. The leader gave my family a five-day ultimatum to pay the ₦55 million or he would kill me.
On the 22nd day in the forest, a day before the deadline expired, he ordered two of his boys to take me somewhere else. We rode on motorcycles for hours through the night. When we finally arrived, I was handed over to another group. There, I met two victims who were already chained down. They handcuffed and chained me alongside them.
That was the last day I ever saw the group that originally kidnapped me.
The new group was even worse. I spent another 20 days with them, enduring severe beatings, torture, hunger, and constant threats. They demanded ₦50 million from my family. At one point, one of the bandits even collected ₦2 million through a bank transfer, yet they still refused to release me.
In the end, I escaped.
Sometimes when people discuss kidnapping online, they don't fully understand the horror victims go through. The physical pain heals, but the memories remain. No human being should have to experience such cruelty.
Honestly, this country's insecurity is heartbreaking and inhumane.💔😭🇳🇬
There is a lot of luck invovled with finding a spouse, particularly one worthy of having children with, so I side-eye pretty much all comments looking down on those who haven't settled down. It's arrogant and shows a lack of self-awareness.
