Casham: My cousin just told me last night that she just got raped on Sunday afternoon/evening (6th July, 2025).
I stay with them for now. She's 18, the first of two daughters and was still virgin (as far as I know). Her only [older] brother is in school.
She's been acting funny since on Sunday evening. She couldn't hold it in anymore and, since there is no one else she could actually confide in, she confided in me. Now she's begging me not to tell anyone and not to cause trouble. She only wants me to help her get a drug (if any) that will prevent pregnancy.
She told me about the man coming to see her in her mother's restaurant and said she was going to talk to the man about getting me a job, but when she went into his car, he forced himself on her.
Honestly I am angry right now! I am angry at three things:
First, I am angry at my family. I have a family where the children are afraid to open up, because if you do, you will be blamed and castigated upon. I understand her fear and apprehension about letting other people know, but I just can't let this go.
Secondly, I am angry at our society. How can a man confidently feels he can force himself on a lady and get away with it? What kind of society do we have?
Thirdly, I am angry at myself. I am angry because I feel helpless. I can't let this thing go. I have to deal with this man, but I don't know how to do it without putting my cousin in a difficult position. I have tried to let her know that it is not her fault and that the man needs to pay for this, but she's been begging me to just let it go. She only confided in me because she's really scared of getting pregnant.
According to her though, there was never any real penetration, but the man (who is a high ranking government official) actually "released" ON her, not IN her. (Does that even make sense?) How can I handle this issue right now? For me, I am planning to go all out and let hell break loose and let the heavens fall if they have to.
If you don't talk. You are part of the problem, don't ever blame the society again
Evil continue to prevail when the society do nothing
ExAngel007: A Nigerian woman, Nenye Uzowulu, has criticised the Umuada women's group for allegedly consuming bread and tea while a 26-year-old woman was being buried.
The funeral service for Nweke Chidera Jennifer took place on July 5, 2025.
“A girl of 26yrs old d!ed prematurely. Not even married. Even thou…Umu Ada went there and be drinking tea. Kai! No single empathy,” she wrote.
Sports development gets a boost with his appointment.
What did sports get? A boost.
What changed? Someone was appointed
SO WHAT'S THE BOOST? Is it not the appointment and what it means for sports development?
I'm saying the journalism is shitty because his appointment may be a good thing, but it remains to be seen. It's not a boost in and of itself.
This is simple reasoning, not English, by the way.
You may want to grade my grammar, syntax and semantics, if you wish.

Oshodi is always alive — a melting pot of people, hustle, noise, and energy. I recently passed through and took a few snapshots that I believe capture a glimpse of this ever-busy part of Lagos.
The busy streets, market hustle, yellow buses, and the everyday Lagos vibe. Can’t upload everything here (Nairaland has limits).
📸 No fancy edits. Just Lagos as it is.
What about you?

Iceking1: Hello Nairalanders, about 4 day's ago I created a thread, regarding the extortion of 80,000 naira from me illegally by the police, even when my papers are 100% correct as I did a new plate number after buying the car, so everything regarding the papers are on my name, and all Intact.
For those who missed the thread, here's the link :
After creating the thread, It immediately got to the front page and It generated reactions, almost every one (99.9%) of those that commented were against the police because what transpired was truly an extortion. I got countless numbers of positive advices.
Including going on twitter and tag some important personnel on the police force, while trying to do so by opening the profile that I went through, I saw some police numbers on one of the posts by the police, there was a post to call some numbers when one get harassed by the police unnecessarily.
I copied the numbers and gave It a call, they were 5 numbers, and only the very first one I called was what sorted out my predicament.
I called the number and narrated everything to the man that picked up ( Detective Barnabas from CRU) THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH SIR. So, he asked me the location where It happened and the time, he asked me to forward the screenshot of the transaction regarding I and the POS girl I made the transferred to, In which the POS girl stand was directly at the back of the station, and I did forwarded It to his whatsapp.
He acted so very swiftly, he swinged Into action with immediate effect, I called him yesterday and I got my complete money back today.
After telling him the area It happened and exact location, also the station they took my car to. He called the area commander with immediate effect, and the area commander swinged into action immediately.
I was called to come to the station this afternoon to identify the men involved, but unfortunately they weren't around. I went home hoping to go tomorrow as told, to come and identify them.
But to my utmost surprise, the police in charge of the case called me barely an hour ago that they've recovered back my money, he gave me cash, 80,000 completely.
I want to use this medium to thank Nairaland and Nairalanders, you made this possible, I would not have gotten anything from that money if not for you all, coupled with the fact that I would also get more future harrassments.
Below are photos of the cash I was refunded, in full.
Thank you Nairaland and Nairalanders, you've done what no one else have done for me, In all my life and day to day existence, thank you so very much.
