This is a story about rape in Nigeria, so unspeakable it is hard to read to the end. It is an allegation, yes, no one has been convicted in court, yes. That statement is the refuge of scoundrels and cowards. There have been only 18 rape convictions in Nigeria, only 18! By that reckoning there are no rapes in Nigeria. We know the truth. Rapists are walking all over Nigeria, free. The only serious conviction for corruption in Nigeria was in a book of fiction, Achebe's No Longer at Ease. No one is corrupt in Nigeria. The treasury just emptied itself. And criminibals, thugs and looters walk around hand in hand with compromised intellectuals, the Goebbels of our time to lecture us. Statesmen as executioners. I hope this is a wake up call to you all. Women and children have been terrorized in Nigeri from the beginning of time. There is no let up. Obasanjo once chased his wife down the street, not with flowers, but with a knife. NGO heads who get their funding to empower women and eradicate marital abuse and rape regularly take selfies with the mobster and monster. Na today? Nonsense.
