Nigeria issued Nigerian passports to South Africans to keep them safe from the Apartheid authorities.
Nigerians imposed a tax on ourselves to donate money to South Africa's anti-apartheid fight.
Nigeria took on other countries to get support for South Africa.
Fuck you people.
“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.”
When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough.
Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?”
Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime.
He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks.
That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.
"Thank you,Mr Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. One of my favourite books is Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office. This is in response to what you told me earlier in the morning when you urged me to be a good example to the girls,the younger ones who are doing their first term. Mr Speaker, if they are good girls, they will never get the corner office. Be as bad as Millie Odhiambo and you will be the mother of this House. I am a bad girl and as a bad girl I am here serving my fourth term.
So do not be cheated like in the African culture where you are told to have decorum, dress nicely, be kind and nice. You will go nowhere. Be a bad girl like me and you will get somewhere."
