*SENSITIVE TOPIC DISCUSSED* I will not put it lightly, women and children in Nigeria are under attack. Nigerians have normalised and made sexual violence against women a mundane issue, not enough is done when the woman speaks up and the reactions from fellow Nigerians often leave one to question their sanity. A Rape case was brought to light recently against an (used to be) actor who raped a girl since she was 7 years old till now that she’s 14, the man confessed and admitted to the crime after the girl reported him and in the report it was confirmed that there were video evidence of the rape. You’d think they’ll be an outcry but no majority of the people are busy arguing and defending why the actor shouldn’t be condemned, making excuses for his actions and requesting to see the rape video. I am absolute disgusted. Lol no that’s not the end because yesterday a lady was reported missing after she called her friend, sounded scared and the cal was abruptly cut off. The friend know that her friend went for a job posting she saw on Twitter took to Twitter to message the people. Long story short, she was found dead this morning, sexually assaulted and some organs missing (not confirmed yet). These are story we hear daily in Nigeria but most of the time it is dismissed and victims (women) are blamed or tagged because Nigeria does not value the voice of a woman nor pay attention to her. Please take a minute to refresh your mind and take a step back from everything if the news from the past few days have been triggering. Listen to the podcast and follow me on Twitter: hallie_ibz

After the massacre that occurred on the 20th of October 2020 where many Nigerians were killed at Lekki Tollgate for practicing their constitutional right to gather and protest: Protesting against the merciless killing of the youth of Nigerian by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). The protest calmed down, however, the government announced its plans to re-open said Tollgate after the youth representatives on the investigative panels voted against it because the investigation is still ongoing & because nobody had been trialed or arrested for the night of 20/10/20.

Going out again, on 12/2/21, to protest against this decision they were arrested, tortured, beaten, and molested. This episode was my reaction to the day, talking about the event and how I feel after the massacre of the 20th. Follow me on Clubhouse (let's keep the conversation going) & Social media: Hallie_ibz.
