A few years ago, a friend of mine told me how a close friend of his dad who doubled as their family friend tried raping his immediate younger sister in her room when the man paid them a visit. In her desperation to survive his firm grip and escape from the he-goat, she gave him an undertakker kind of blow drown from the surging adrenaline at an inappropriate anatomical position, which made her escape.

What happened there after? No drastic measures were taken to forestall such an ugly occurrence, but rather the matter was buried in the mould without being blown, at least to shame the man.

At my placement community, when I was serving as a teacher leader, one of my kids in primary four was being serially rapped by a man who had daughters older than her. When the matter got noticed by a colleague due to the discomfort the little girl was experiencing, nothing drastic was done, even when, after much back and forth, the man accepted to committing the crime. Why, he is a man, and somehow the universe is designed to shield them.

Time and time again there are replicates of such instances where men have acted inappropriately toward the opposite gender without commiserate punishment that will serve as deterrents for others who might have chosen to toll the same path.

Today, Natasha Akpoti, a distinguished member of the highest law-making body, is left roaming from one media house to another in search of an ear that will listen to her ordeal in the hands of her predator. With tears and a frustrated soul, she watches as the onlookers abandon her under the claws of a predator, with each laugh from them sending such claws deeper into her skin.

In the words of Omotoyosi Idris, 'it is a man's world', but I love one of the Afrian proverbs, which says, 'looking at a casket from afar, one would mistake it for a log of wood until the carrier gets closer'..

Again, until the hawk eating the chicks of another lay its claws on yours, the cry of the mother hen will remain noise to your ears.

One thing I know is that Natasha's voice is just one out of many that have been buried. A resurrected voice which soul has refused to died seeking for justice for the injustice it has suffered

Why didn't YOU do something?
You called yourself a Teacher Leader and did NOTHING when a kid in your school was raped repeatedly by the same man.

You cannot do NOTHING in the face of injustice and lambaste people who do nothing in the face of injustice.

That's HYPOCRISY!

Secondly, there is NO parallel between the cases you cited and the case with Natasha.

Both cases involved little CHILDREN under the care of USELESS adults.

Natasha is a 50-something year-old SENATOR.
The idea that she kept mum because she was intimidated by Akpabio is MADNESS.

If she was intimidated by Akpabio as a sitting senator, what CHANGED after her suspension that suddenly made her an INTERNATIONAL NUISANCE.

Also, who visits the home of a man who's sexually harassing her?

natosa must go

I never kept quiet but was left without any choice to leave the matter. To start with, I had a head that was presiding over the issue and was just a subordinate who wasn't expected to overruled his boss decision. Apart from that, the organization that I was working for cautioned me not to interfere in the case as I was just a stranger living in the community in order to secure my life.

However, my point is clear, women have been subjected to molestation wether being they small or big from men without the world giving them the justice they deserve.

If you ask the poster, he will tell you how he has an IQ far greater than that of Plato and Aristotle combined, ironically same person is telling us that 45 year old woman is being sexuaIIy abused, same woman that has àccused others of making sexual advances to her in the past and going ahead to delete the post when she was held able and she had to involve respected figures to beg her way out of it, same woman with a record of multiple husbands, I'm sure she's a baby now that is supposed to be learning under Akpabio and Akpabio is hàrràssing her.

There's nothing poIitics has not done to Nigerians yet the average Nigerian always think he is smart.


If Tinubu and this same Akpabio goes head to head and Natasha starts ing Tinubu today, this same poster will swap the story and tell u how she was faIseIy accusing Akpabio.
