Can Nigerians please tell us about their experience with Starlink?
Have they donated millions of dollars and gave free connectivity to you rural schools?
Is it making Nigeria a better place to live in? 🤔

Mbali Ncaku from Bramley took an E-hailing service this morning on her way to TUT to write her exams. She sent a concerning message to her friend after the driver allegedly asked her to sit in front and cancel the trip.
Since then, no one has been able to reach her, and her family is extremely worried about her safety.
The police allegedly didn't assist the family.
📞 If you have any information or have seen Mbali, please urgently contact her mother at 067 692 1993.
There is a gang rape video that is spreading on X. For the life of me, I do not understand why people enjoy rape videos when someone is being violated. Rape in itself is a terrible experience, how much worse a gang rape. We should talk about it.
I struggle to understand why anyone would rape. Rape is a theft and an invasion. You steal a person's right to consent to whom they share their body with, and you invade their body without regard to their person. Dignity of human person is a fundamental human right, but even more than that, a common sense approach in dealing with people. Everyone reserves a right to consent.
The fight against rape has been long and bumpy, and that is why we must keep speaking up. People of all ages are being raped and having their bodily autonomy stolen from them. To be a decent human is not hard, you just have to be humane and see the other person as human. We even have adults who violate children that cannot protect themselves or speak up for themselves, leaving them with a ripple effect of compound damages.
For the poorly educated who make argument about wetness and erection to prove consent, or orgasm to prove that the person enjoyed the rape, please understand that an erect penis or lubricated vagina, isn't necessarily a sign of arousal. It is called Arousal Non-concordance. That is where your bodily reaction and your sexual desires are not in alignment, because blood flowing to your genitals does not mean you are mentally interested in sex. Rape and arousal can happen simultaneously, and one does not exclude the other. Orgasm during rape isn't an expression of pleasure. It is an example of an involuntary response to pleasure. The body responds to pain and pleasure regardless of how you feel.
Now, to the rape itself, there is a cold-hearted wickedness to insisting on a right to possess something that isn't yours and isn't your to take, and taking it by force. Even when two consenting adults are having sex, you have to exercise grace and kindness to understand how their body is reacting to it so you can make love to them right and understand when they need a breather or stop when they need you to stop. Imagine what it means to be violated because rape is a violation. Now imagine 4 to 5 guys taking turns to rape one lady.
There is the denial that comes with disbelief that this is happening to you. Then there is the fear because you can't even react for fear of harm. The eyes that are heavy with tears that refuse to flow. The plea that skips the rapists and echoes somewhere in the mountain. The silent prayer for the ground to swallow you. The lips that screams words that cannot be uttered. The blank stare of the ceiling watching you violated. The sweating skin beneath a blanket of shame. The deadness of the light in the eyes that is clouded by a hollowness that would remain a mainstay through relived trauma. Then the injurious wickedness to your body because they neither care how your feel or how much you hurt. They are there to orgasm and will not stop till they ejaculate. For gang rape, it is a continuous violation that leaves you dead in body and spirit, and you juat want to take your life.
I hope wherever she is, she gets the help she needs with the injurious trauma she has to live with, and find someone that loves her right. To every rape victims - whether at childhood or adulthood, I hope you find healing in your body and your heart, never lose the light in your eyes and find strength to navigate this world and positively impact it. Blessings 🙏🏾
