In my opinion, there is no "olódo uprising" in Nigeria because Nigerians have always been "olódo." Our literacy rate is about 74%, lower than the global average of 87%. Education hasn't ever been our strong point. Any apparent "uprising" is only because of social media access.
This was the man who murdered my dad’s friend daughter in 2011 by stabbing her over 77 times in various parts of her body, his Name is AKOLADE AROWOLO
He was a RCCG youth pastor and the church tried to subvert justice back then
She was the breadwinner of the house while him a struggling youth pastor with no job or funds and heavily rely on her salary s a banker
Their daughter was just 3yrs old when this useless man took my friend’s life
It started from small beating and shouting then it became a regular thing
We fought hard for her to leave this useless man alone but she always find an excuse for him
Every week is a different mark on her face filled with heavy makeup and shades to hide her scars
She didn’t come to work on that said day and her colleagues got worried and had to call me cos we work in close proximity to each other, I was clueless to on why she didn’t show to work and put a call across her phone and BBM but none went through
Her colleague persuaded me we should both go to her house during our lunch break and we went, on getting to her house her flat doors were locked, it was when I peeped through the kitchen window I saw blood and screamed for help, the kitchen door at the back of the flat got broken and what I saw was her lifeless body in the pool of her own blood
I almost screamed the whole building down with the whole neighborhood rushing down towards the kitchen,it was the most awful crime scenes I’ve ever seen
This horrible man lied she stabbed herself to death and his church supported him until a great pathologists proved them wrong and he was finally sentenced to death by hanging in 2019 and still waiting to be hanged
If you want people to talk about men to stop beating their wives then I’m not the kind of person, if you don’t leave when I advice you to leave then be prepared for whatever outcome you get cos you can see the rates of FEMICIDE in recent years
I’ve written this story over and over again on this platform to encourage women to leave at the first sign of violence
Leave to LIVE
Watching The Handmaid’s Tales just further cemented the fact that “kind men” and “progressive men” will never understand how systemic oppression affects women. When the women folk were stopped from working and their money was seized, June’s friend was angry only for June’s
The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to become a reader. Read the romance. Read the fantasy. Read the mystery. Read all kinds of literature. But never pick up a self-help book
Peller is an idiot, this is not debatable.
But you know what else is sacrosanct? The idiocy of everyone who consumes his content. His stupidity is legitimized by an even stupider populace.
The olodo uprising is more about the people who made him popular, than him.
Per the last Nigerian Protein Deficiency Report, 92.7 million Nigerians do not eat any form of protein in a day.
Nigerian children are the worst hit, representing the second-highest burden of stunted children globally.
This is the legacy of the All Poverty Congress (APC)
Hell!
"Don't marry for looks"
I can never be found in that loop, your face card is even the first thing that attracts me or not, right before we start to dey process your character
Nigerians need to sit down and agree on a set of laws that applies to everyone.
Lastma should not be able to pass one way.
Police should not be able to break in without a warrant.
Military men should not be able to commit assault at will.
Quarter of a Day wasted on a Meaningless “Sanitation Curfew ” meanwhile No extra LAWMA trucks pulled up anywhere. 1:30pm and the Overflowing Dustbin wey dey my Junction still Mount wella. 😭😭😭🤣
One of the most important parts of friendship is knowing when to clear your friends.
If they do something wrong, clear them immediately, don’t let it fester or it becomes resentment.
It's actually quite simple.
If I'm the one engaging in it, there's no such thing as too much PDA.
If I'm not, you two are doing too much and need to get a room.
