You obviously have not been subjected to an allegation of rape on a public platform. And your reputation as well as your business reputation has not mobbed in the court of public opinion. The public gets to see you with a sadistic light. People hate rapists just as do with murderers and robbers; and by their opinions punish the alleged wrongdoer. Think about, morality relies on what others think of you. If you are thought to be a rock then you are a rock. Public opinion is more powerful than you think, and it is why we are social animals.

He raped, why are y'all defending him?

OP you're very biased.

You went to twitter, picked the tweets that justified your stand on the whole saga, cut and joined them and then posted here as if it's the majority of what most people were tweeting. Guys please head to twitter now and see for yourself. It's the number one trending there.

I was on that guys wall the day he posted this....that was the day I fear for this generation. People said all sorts of things to this guy, girls especially. The abuse, the banters that followed was something that scared even me. This is the 4th time I would be witnessing cyber bullying that led to someone's death.


We should really thread with caution these days on how we address people online. It's not everyone that has strong heart like most of us. There are some that words get to them easily. I don't really blame that guy cos it's only him that knows what he was battling with. Imagine your whole lifes works destroyed under minutes because of a silly accusation.


This generation is heartless. I really don't buy into these rape stories anymore cos I don't understand how someone will say she was raped and didn't bother to report to the police or confide to someone close. Didn't go to the doctor to get checked and have a proof. Didn't go for rehabilitation cos of the truama suffered at least to have a solid proof(cos most legit rape victims undergoes that). Didn't even make any effort that period to report that someone raped her.


Then wait years later to report it on social media. Not in a court oo. Not in a police station ooo. But the fucking social media that every information posted immediately is believed to be true.


This has now become a norm for girls. Using rape case to blackmail guys and when it doesn't work they take it to social media. SMH I'm just starting to hate on girls. Really, they've been playing this victim card for long now and using it to bring men down. Danmmmit.


Heaven knows that if I were in Lagos that day I would have spent the whole day making sure I will try to stop him. Nobody posts about his/her if that person isn't fed up already and doesn't see any more reason to live.


Please let us be mindful of our words here. Always try and reach out to depressed people if you can and if you're in the same city as that person go and look out for the person. Most importantly if it's a guy that posted it, a lady should reach out immediately cos we tend to confide with the opposite sex than with same sex.


Look out for each other cos this suicide stuff is not a joke. That shit has a spirit that follows it around.

Most pple don't report rape to the police (Nigeria police) because they know they would be slut shamed...

Imagine a guy reporting rape (by a gurl)to police or court...everyone would laff at him. He will be called gay and all worth nots. So the social media esp twitter is best way to express that angst against ur abuser

anyone actually noticed how the headline was phrased?? "COMMITTED SUICIDE OVER RAPE", i think the main headline should be "COMMITTED SUICIDE OVER A RAPE CLAIM". We have this thing called presumption of innocent"Everyone who is accused of something is innocent until proven guilty", is not my first instinct to doubt, buh rather my moral imperative to doubt until evidence is forthcoming. You cant put someone in prison because the person was accused of murder or theft, so why should accusation of rape be held to a different standard? this isn't a difficult concept to understand. See a man who is accused of rape would have his life ruined, thats not only if he is convicted the mere accusation is enough to cost his his job,business, his reputation and so on. IF a woman wants to ruin a mans life all she has to do is accuse him or rape, even if he is innocent, the damage would have already been done. Sure maybe she is telling the truth that this guy did rape her, buh then again there might be a motivation to lie about it, the thing is She is making a very serious accusation, an accusation that demands a high standard of evidence. If there isnt any actual evidence, then there isn't any way of telling if she is lying or telling the truth. Dont forget that there is always 2 sides to a story. With all this said i dont agree with the notion of labeling an accuser a liar, at least not until evidence has been reviewed and has been proven they lied. This might sound like some dude who has women issues ranting lol buh the truth is we now live in a world where everyone sugarcoats basically everything, and facts no longer matter, scared that people might call you out for actually doubting rape accusations, the problem with society today is that most people now believe that no one would actually lie about been raped, so they now construct their arguments around the assumption that they never do, buh here is the thing your feeling and emotions dont shape or determine reality. So what you feel or think thats just your own prerogative. No one is talking about false rape accusation which by the way is a thing. Rest my case. Rest in Peace Micheal!! I hope you finally found peace.

I said it before and i am saying it again...

MAKE A VIDEO OF THE CONSENSUAL SEX EPISODE YOU HAVE WITH A WOMAN SO THAT WHEN SHE CLAIMS RAPE, YOU WILL BRING IT OUT AS EVIDENCE!

FACT: The number of false rape accusations is 1000 times higher than the cases of rape themselves!

I do understand from that angle but not telling anyone...not your parents who would always do justice to it or even going to a hospital is not a good excuse.



Or at least get a visual evidence of the act through WhatsApp chat or voice call discussing why he did that.


Come on.... we're in the 21st century and if a boy of 12yrs can confidently tell you he has watched porn and had been accessing pornhub why then will a matured girl tell me she's ashamed to report an abuse.

Most guys accused of rape are mostly innocent cos girls have been using sex as a collateral for friending a rich guy.


And check well it's mostly the rich guys that are being accused.

He did not rape anybody. The girl accusing him agreed to have sex with him, she sent him nude pictures, they met and fvcked. She even licked the dude's anus, but like a typical girl, she regretted her actions and instead of her to live with it, she accused the guy of rape.

We found her pictures on Twitter and linked her but she quickly locked her account. You pussy niggas give this girls too much power and they will use it to destroy you because they're not like men who can take responsibility for their fvck ups without utterly so true destroying another persons life.
so true bro.. I wonder what's wrong with African men, so sex starved, we are so focused on women and it's saddening,..we give gals so much power on social media, u can imagine an ugly posting a pic on Fb and getting 1k likes buy for guys it's another thing lol

franchasng:
My own personal opinion on this:

The guy didn't commit suicide just because a random lady or ladies accused him of rape, of course rape accusation is common with successful men even in USA, Europe, Asia, etc, so its not new and he is aware of that. Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't committed suicide, neither did Kobe Bryant or David Beckham or Bill Clinton, and even former Israeli serving President.

I am suspecting that guy put his hands in some diabolical things known as "money ritual" and known in Yoruba dialect as "Ogun owo", so the thing must have probably backfired....remember he tweeted that his mother heard the news that he raped a lady and died out of heart attack, how many Nigerian mothers care about such rumors, if its like that, many Nigerian mothers must have died, including the ones whose sons are popular politicians being labelled all sorts of names online and offline....only that guy knows what went wrong but my instinct tells me his hands aren't clean with his financial success.

If he was that feeble minded, he wouldn't even come out online to be bragging and refuting such claims....talk more of taking his own life because of that forgetting about his wealth, his son and all the spark that comes with the little money he has, something is wrong with his ways of making money, go figure out or argue with your mirror undecided

Obvious, you don't have sense!! And you shall not have it. Do you know what it means to be accused of rape? Everyone will raise eyebrows, all your business contacts won't want to be related to a suspected racist.

You compare him with Ronaldo, do you know what that accusation has done to his brand? Ronaldo has had his major sponsors suspend all sorts of endorsement with him till the result of the accusation is known.want to talk of tiger woods that was just "infidelity".

There are people that can't handle some certain things no matter how strong they appear.

Secondly, you involve his mother. Did you know the condition his mum was before she heard the news and gave up? You sit in one corner of ignorance and proudly open your mouth to dish out what you don't know.

No man should involve himself in that which he has little knowledge of, and that involves other people's business too

It not easy to contend with God and be in charge of your own death.
See ehn, Iam always in shock when people say those who commit suicide are cowards. Bro, it's not easy to kill oneself o. If anyone thinks it's easy he should try it too. You must be brave to take your own life! I don't wanna go there abeg, am not that brave.
