Tomorrow on this same app, nobody knows a rapist, there’s no rapist in anyone’s circle, women are exaggerating. Once there’s beef involved, “you were always raping women”. God help women in this world, just know that we will never shut up. Bcuz all of us know the truth
@Zirachukwu Haba, Victoire and her dad/step mom haven’t spoken in years until this year when she spent millions on his surgery.
She was married, went through a divorce, they didn’t send her. She only speaks to her sisters and is only warming up to them so why are you talking like this na??
I normally don't pay too much attention to trending matters here. I just post my stories, engage with those who fw it, and block the trolls.
But this particular topic is something else, and we need to be honest with ourselves because we are setting a dangerous precedent.
Lately on twitter and tiktok, we have normalized influencers and public figures using the Police to arrest, detain, and humiliate critics or trolls under the guise of actions have consequences. We cheer. We are crusing with it, These banga boys have gone too far! Teach them a lesson!
And yes, the trolls have gone too far. The defamation is vile. The cyberbullying is wicked. But we are making a grave mistake by applauding the bypass of Due Process.
Let's not forget that Jungle Justice started the exact same way. It didn't start with burning innocent people. It started because communities felt thieves had crossed boundaries. It started because the Police were ineffective, so people said, Let us handle it ourselves. We clapped. We said, Thieves deserve no mercy.
Fast forward to today: Jungle Justice has metastasized. Now, an innocent man can be set on fire in broad daylight just because he had a misunderstanding with a debtor who decided to scream Thief! to mobilize a mob. The tool we sharpened to kill the monster is now being used to slaughter the innocent.
Look at the Believe All Women movement. It started from a place of necessary correction. Rape culture was a plague. The justice system was failing victims. So society shifted to Guilty until proven innocent to protect women.
We clapped. We said, Protect us and our sisters. But because we removed the filter of Due Process in the court of public opinion, we have now seen instances where innocent men rot in prison or lose their livelihoods over false accusations weaponized by bitter partners. The pendulum swung too far, and it knocked down the pillars of fairness.
The danger of normalizing Self-Help justice is that Power has no morality. Today, you cheer because an Alabi arrested a troll who insulted his Wife.
Tomorrow, a Politician will arrest you because you tweeted that his road project is substandard, and he will claim it is Defamation and Cyberstalking. You cannot tell him it is wrong, because you established the precedent that Disrespect justifies Arrest.
We are setting a dangerous standard where the definition of Justice is determined by who has the bigger muscles, the bigger bank account, or the bigger connection to the DPO. When we normalize decadency because a certain group is pushing boundaries and going too far, we are not fixing the system; we are merely arming our future oppressors.
The law is tedious. It is slow. It is annoying. But it is the only barrier between Civilization and the Jungle
Meet Dinma of @hairsbydinma, who started her career as a student entrepreneur then, a Content Creator and now the owner of a thriving hair business.
She talks about how Piggyvest helped her save for her biggest purchase yet—her first car.
An Oil company, managed by a computer services firm, outbid TotalEnergies and Chevron for oil blocks in the Niger Delta region within months of being incorporated.
Don’t bother asking who is behind the company. You already know.
You were warned.
