We all came back from this visit and every single one of us fell ill. The air in that place is different. The environment is no place where any human being should have to live.
Yet, we saw children competing for space with houseflies and rodents. The water they drink is barely fit to look at. The rooms they sleep in are cramped and far from clean. Some sleep on bare floors, while others lie on mattresses that have become almost completely flat from years of use. No food. No electricity. Nothing.
Nigerians are suffering. And for a country with the resources Nigeria has, it is heartbreaking to see children subjected to such conditions while public resources are lost to corruption and waste. Every Nigerian child deserves food, clean water, a safe home, electricity, dignity and hope.
At 32 I was editing Papa Ajasco and Super Story, trying to become a director.
One night officers who had been drinking shot me through my car. I am 47 now. The hand is dead. I edit with my left hand for $10 and $20 so my children can eat. I won in court.
The police have ignored the judgment since 2015. The officer’s name is in their own report. Ayuba Philip ID 257745.
Please tag em until @TunjiDisu1 & @CspIniedu see this impunity. Thank you

"She was going to a frat house, she knew what she was going to get."
Oh yeah?
If that's what frat houses are for, close them all entirely, immediately.
I am not seeing this case receive anywhere near the same media coverage as the Cornell 7 despite the situations being extremely similar. This is why I have said we cannot pick and choose what cases make us outraged. All victims deserve justice and deserves the same amount of support.
To add: you can get a rape kit done up to 7 days afterwards but try to get it done as soon as possible. Don’t wash the clothes you wore either (esp your underwear). It’s better to do it even if you’re not sure you want to report so you have options. I wouldn’t have won without it
And so many survivors don’t know or don’t think to do these things because you are in distress and you’re struggling to come to terms with all these things yourself. The burden placed on you before & during reporting is huge. And at the end of it he got 7.5 yrs
Away from direct sunlight and bring it with me to the clinic because sunlight can destroy DNA & plastic can sweat. I knew to take pictures. I practiced describing everything that happened before going to police to ensure my story was consistent & solid
I’ve met more survivors than I can count and I’m the only one I know whose perpetrator went to jail. I think it’s because I knew “what to do”. I knew to get a rape kit asap without showering, brushing my teeth, or eating or drinking anything. I knew to put my dress in a paper bag
please join me in telling this guy how fucking disgusting he is. He blamed Jane Doe for what happened and said we shouldn't ruin the lives of the Cornell 7. so let's ruin his life
My brother, Wahab Jamiu, was among the passengers kidnapped yesterday on their way to the NYSC camp. His live location stopped sharing along the Onitsha-Owerri Road.

Kindly repost, please. 🙏
We need to also please be very loud and supportive for Kendall who was violently raped by an LSU football player and bravely told her story to the world
Hey so Cornell police report logs show there was another rape reported September 23rd, 2026. Also in August, Cornell's medical school/academic medical center agreed to a settlement totaling over $1 billion because one of their urologists was sexually assaulting patients and they failed to handle it.
This has been, and stays being, a problem that is central to Cornell and how it's ran.
