My coworker died shortly after giving birth.
The doctors managed to bring her back twice before losing her.
That’s not even the saddest part.
A few months before she went into labor, our team was planning a baby shower for her.
She kept insisting we didn’t need to make a fuss.
Every time someone asked what gifts she wanted, she’d say:
“Just bring yourselves. I already have everything.”
After she passed, her husband came into the office to collect some of her things.
A sweater.
A framed photo.
A plant she kept on her desk.
Then he noticed the unopened baby shower gifts stacked in the corner.
Nobody knew what to say.
He just stood there staring at them.
Then he quietly said:
My dad refused to pay ₦15,000 for my WAEC lesson fees.
He said:
"If you're serious, you'll pass without it."
I was angry for months.
Then WAEC results came out.
This is what they do.
They share the ladies among themselves, in a sort of temporary rapefest. Sometimes 2-3 men to a lady or two ladies to one of their senior officers.
They usually come pick the assigned girls once or twice a day.
They usually stop crying after the first two days, but you see it in their eyes.
They become dead inside.
I don't know how they cope with the trauma.
X community pls help me, one of my baby sisters has been missing since Monday June 1. She went from Akure to ilorin to get her certificate in school and she'd been nowhere to be found since, her number isn't going. Parents and siblings can't get through to her. Pls kindly share
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.💔😭🇳🇬
You might feel lazy and like you’re not doing anything while you’re pregnant but look at micropreemies in the NICU and how many wires and machines they’re hooked up to and know that your body is doing literally all of that; no wonder you’re tired — eat a snack, drink some water, and take a nap.
While growing up, SARS once raided my street and picked up all the young boys playing football outside on a Saturday.
My brother’s friend was among them. He was only 20 years old and had just started learning mechanics.
When his parents went to bail him, they were told he was a cultist and had been transferred to Kirikiri Prison.
A week later, his mum went to see him. They told her he had died due to overcrowding.
Whenever I think about him, my heart breaks. He was innocent.
After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
They are people’s children, people’s parents, people’s spouses. They’ve spent 20 days in captivity. We cannot normalize silence! This too heartbreaking!💔

As a survivor of kidnapping and banditry, I can tell you that these criminals believe that no matter how much they take from you, you will eventually work and earn it back after your release.
Let me use myself as an example. After my family paid the ₦15 million ransom they demanded, along with other items worth over ₦600,000, they still weren't satisfied. They continued demanding more money and eventually asked for ₦55 million. They even told my mother to sell her house and car to raise the money.
Because my family rented a vehicle to deliver the ransom and other requested items, the kidnappers assumed we owned the car and were wealthy. They kept insisting that we sell all our properties and hand over the proceeds to them.
Omo, it was a terrible ordeal. The fear, pressure, and emotional torture were overwhelming. Watching my family struggle to meet their endless demands was heartbreaking.
One painful reality is that they often target ordinary and struggling people like us because we are easier to capture than the elites, who usually have better security and protection.
This is why we cannot continue to stay silent. Kidnapping and banditry have destroyed countless lives, families, and dreams across Nigeria. We need to raise our voices, stand together as a nation, and demand urgent action against insecurity.
Today it may be someone else's family. Tomorrow it could be yours. Enough is enough. 💔🇳🇬🙏🏽
Three weeks ago, my 23-year-old neighbor was kidnapped on her way to Kontagora in Niger State.
While in captivity, the bandits repeatedly raped her taking turns sleeping with her night after night. Still, they kept bargaining with her father over the phone, demanding ransom even as they violated her.
Her father fought with everything he had. He hustled day and night, borrowed from everyone, took loans, sold whatever he could determined to bring his daughter home.
When he finally gathered the full amount, he called the bandits and begged them, ‘Please, give the phone to my daughter. Let me speak to her. I want her to know I’m coming for her.’
They gave her the phone.
In a broken, traumatized voice, she told her father: ‘Dad, do not suffer yourself looking for the money. They have been sleeping with me. I’m traumatized. I can’t forgive myself. Even if I’m released, I’ll kill myself. Don’t bother paying the ransom.’
Those were the last words she ever spoke to him.
While her father was still holding the phone, he heard the gunshot. He heard his daughter being killed. Moments later, the bandits sent pictures of her remains to him, a final act of cruelty.
A 23-year-old girl. My neighbor. Someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s friend gone in the most horrific way possible.
This is not just one story. This is the nightmare too many families are living in Niger State and across Nigeria. Young women snatched on the roads, violated, used as bargaining chips, and discarded like nothing.
Living in Nigeria has become truly scary. You wake up, you step out, and you don’t know if you or your loved ones will return home. The fear is constant. The pain is constant. And too often, justice never comes.
Rest in peace to my neighbor.
I once watched a woman cry uncontrollably at the hospital after her sister’s late-stage cervical cancer diagnosis. She kept crying, saying that if somebody had told them there was a vaccine for cervical cancer, they would have gotten it. But it was already too late.
Ignorance is too expensive, and cervical cancer is one of the only cancers we can actually prevent with a simple shot. The HPV vaccine is that prevention.
Stop leaving your health to chance. Protect your daughters and yourself today. Get your HPV vaccine this week.

I kid disappeared when he was 14, his folks searched everywhere for him with no success.
He was later discovered in prison and he was already 32. He couldn't even remember why he was arrested or how long his sentence is.
The prison doesn't have a record of his crime or sentence (that's what's making me bald with madness)
They've now secured his release though. But I'm just so mad at our condition in this country 🤬🤬🤬
