Copied from a thread.
Kemi Sisi Eko
As for pastor COZA, this is not the first time we are hearing this kind of allegation against him.
First it was Ese Walters, the second one was the wife of a popular DJ in Abuja who works with Cool FM Abuja, DJ TTB, the third one was one of the church members who allegedly said she had a child for the same pastor COZA and then this fourth episode from Busola.... Habaa!
How can 4 women who once attended the same church at one point or the other be accusing the same Pastor COZA of entering their Garden of Eden with or without consent?
Frog talk say e no know wetin em go talk water go full em mouth.
Nawa ooh!
Please pray for Busola. Please avoid my post of you are a lawyer and you don't have sense. https://free.facebook.com/story.php?story_

Nairaface: Your position so far has been anything but rational, I’m afraid.
You failed to state how your “question” has any bearing to her claim. There is a reason judges side with lawyers when they object to opposing lawyers raising certain issues on ground of relevance. You, or any sane person that care to know whether a person claiming to have been raped is promiscuous before forming an opinion, need to ask yourself why you are trying to victim-shame. Are you really that concerned about promiscuity, or trying to shame future/other victims into silence?
If you can show how your question is relevant. You could have made your point about the likelihood of her claim being false (just as there is a likelihood of it being true; 50% chance) without trying to cast aspersions on either party if you were truly being rational and in pursuit of facts, and not being a misogynistic rape apologist as your post which I first responded to screams.
I see how you are deflecting from the direct questions I posed to you. See, people like the guy you responded to, already have a flawed mindset regarding this case. They are wired to justify evil misdeeds and vice. Even if virtue came to knock on their door, they would ignore it, because they are used to entertaining vice.  Don't let them annoy you, with their faulty irrational answers. |

DOMINO001: If all you have said are not possible, then how do you expect the rape victims to get justice. Is it after 20yrs of incidence. Mind you the issue of police cuts across all crimes in Nigeria. When there is an arm robbery incidence in your district, you know calling police maybe a problem, because you may call but no response, but then you just have to call them. Or do you wait after 10yrs before you go on fb and start shouting that you were robbed? I know you will say robbery and rape are not the same but both are crimes. And when there is crime something has to be done immediately, not when you cannot get hold of the criminal. Nobody said it was not possible.  All I did was to highlight why rape victims are highly reluctant to report the sexual assaults they have been through, to the police. The stigmatisation depresses them, and the fact that there is little or no support, makes them bottle it up for years.  Those who are courageous enough to speak out like Busola has done, should therefore be encouraged and supported, not victimised or stigmatized, like so many people are doing to her now.  |

Amanstailored: Lol... My comments was actually in support of the answer you gave #laudate, the person u were arguing with. I was only trying to support ur view point. Maybe u should have read my comments. Pls read it Amanstailored: No problem. Thanks for reading my follow up message. I got interested in ur threads of messages because i was thinkin if i cant convince laudate den maybe someone more sensible can do it. But ur conversations with him only revealed how myopic and narrow minded he/she was. Anyways enjoy ur day like its GOLDEN Amanstailored: I wonder why u waist time and breath debating with this guy #laudate(assuming he is a guy wich i frankly dont care). I have had my share of arguements with him/her and it seems like talking to a brick wall or worse someone with an IQ the size of a tea spoon. Bisola didnt sue or file a police report but went straight to almighty judge youtube and made her accusations, and to what end so that the man would get irritated or act hastingly in a bid to prove his innocence and sue her(bisola) and then like #laudate said she start opening up all the cupboard that contains the mans skeleton? The same cupboard where bisola has stored her own rotten skeletons. In the world of SMART MOVES, this is probably the dumbest thing have heard. The man might as well sit his ass down, say nothing, chill out and just let this whole saga die down and trust me what then becomes of her accusations, it becomes an echo, gone with the wind! #laudate speaks so highly of psychology wich is almost impressive but says somuch of his/her lack of psychological intuition. Go watch the video #laudate and before you pls read something about body language psychology and look bisola in the eye and listen to her narratives, ask her the tough questions then maybe, just maybe you would begin to see things differently wich i doubt u would. If the man is guilty wich i pray for the sake of many women out the let the wrath of the descend on him but what then happens if he was falsely accused? sweetrace: Then I am very sorry, I should have read it. I thought it was the laudate trying to force his biased opinion on me. I'll read it as soon as I can. sweetrace: Your venom is something to behold! I am female too, so you can pray for me to get raped as well. In your praying, please remember that who ever curses me is cursed and whoever blesses me is blessed. As for providing evidence, you’ve got wrong. Busola is the one to provide evidence that she was raped. The pastor is to provide evidence to counter that. Na wa, o!  All these long posts and multiple mentions of my username, simply because you folks failed in your bid to brainwash me into agreeing with your flawed and faulty submissions, based on a tissue of lies? Kai!  Fatoyinbo should give you both a big award for going all out to spin so many tales, in order to whitewash his disgusting antics. I have tried to enlighten you both, but you have refused to imbibe the right kind of kno wledge. Well, what can I do if you refuse to free your mind and see the light?

DOMINO001: No you are wrong, very very wrong. Things like this are reported to the police, media or any authority so that action can be taken immediately. She had the time to go and be arranging area boys meanwhile the evidence was still inside her pussy. Going by your reasoning, girl can just wake up and say I raped her (meanwhile I never fuc.k b4 o) and people will believe her. Oga, stop saying what you do not know. If a rape victim goes to the police, they are the first to stigmatise her. They will ridicule and insult her, by asking questions like "why won't they rape you, when you are dressed like that? Or why are you complaining when you are not a virgin before?" As for reporting to the media, tell me how easy it is to just enter a media house to say you have been raped. Oga, if you have ever worked with rape victims before, you will discover that getting support in Nigeria, it is easier said than done. In this country, if I asked you to list 5 helplines as well as NGOs dedicated to helping rape victims get justice, counselling and treatment, would you be able to provide their info and access to such victims? |

sweetrace: Blah blah blah! I stopped when you mentioned abuse... Let your so-called victim produce evidence she can’t.

This is why rape victims hide and suffer in silence, because myopic folks like you will ridicule, insult and blame them, instead of going after the perpetrators. And then turn round to say they are "reasoning deductively..."
Even the man you are supporting blindly and trying to paint as an innocent chap, has stepped down from the pulpit because he knows his hands are not clean. He cannot even offer a detailed incontrovertible defence, to refute everything Busola has said. He chose to hide under a mantle of watery excuses. In 2013 when Ese Walters accused him of infidelity, manipulation and sexual exploitation that took place in a hotel room, he could not say much. He promised to give a robust defence, but he ran away till today. Sexual controversy follows him like flies. Yet you are here throwing tantrums on his behalf. Well done. It shows the kind of values you hold, and the type of mindset you have. #SayNoToRape |

glowingflame7: You seem to be the one recycling crap self anointed psychologist. People act different but Busola MUST act like you feel despite her self confessed statement suggests otherwise. I clearer did not refer to just the very act but afterwards, but you keep your head tightly wrapped in the act. She cannot claim to be paralysed by fear for years without telling anyone and not be complicit. You need a dictionary or you need the interpretation of complicit in your local language. You're the only one with access to psychologist. I don't need such a psychologist to tell me rubbish. The Busola by the way was not paralysed to slap an old man for looking at her when she was supergirl 10years old. She was not paralysed when her pastor pushed her,she said she tried to shout but he covered her mouth. But i guess she developed this paralysis when he went out, gave her krest, and she cleaned up the virgin blood and semen on the floor or chair, and she went to sleep on his master bedroom the same week. Agreed for him to drive her home and still continues to be in his church. I need the name of this strange paralysis instead of your running around psychologists. Self-appointed...what?  You are just recycling falsehood and clutching at straws. Even the man who perpetrated the act, does not have the guts to put up a robust defence to exonerate himself. That is why he chose to issue that watery set of excuses, and then opted to step down from the pulpit.  He does not have the guts to even sue the Dakolos to court, because he knows that by doing so, all the skeletons in his backyard will be revealed.  Yet, you are the one coming online to dress him in borrowed robes of angelic innocence and sainthood, that he does not possess.  You are happily discrediting the victim he sexually assaulted, because you want to paint the perpetrator as a knight in shining armour.  You are saying she cannot claim to be paralysed, as if you are the one controlling her reflexes and psychomotor abilities. Some people can bury memories of a bad encounter for years, by living in denial in an attempt to pretend it did not happen. There is something called dissociation, that victims undergo as a coping mechanism, to handle trauma. Many years after, an event may trigger the pain and all the bad memories then start flooding back into their minds. She left the church a few months after the rape, and joined WINNERS Chapel. Watch her video again. Stop recycling lies. Anyway o, all you defenders of wrong doing can continue with your trade. Maybe, that is how you get your kicks. Very soon, you will be awarded a PhD in rape apology. #SayNoToRape #SayNoToVictimShamingsweetrace: Blah blah blah! I stopped when you mentioned abuse...

Why can't you ask Fatoyinbo to produce evidence to show that he did not sexually assault Busola, or intimidate and manipulate her into sleeping with him, a married pastor?  Busola has told her story and given facts, details, timelines and incidents of sexual molestation that took place, at that time. Yet, you have chosen to ignore all that in favour of a married pastor who chose to abuse his position, by forcefully coercing an under-aged girl, into having sexual relations with him. In many countries, having carnal knowledge of an under-aged girl, is regarded as rape.For your information, No false accusation can come near me, because I do not engage in such rubbbish. I also pray that your sister, daughter or close female relative gets raped one day.

glowingflame7: She was not a young kid or child that you are projecting. She was a self confessed bold 17/18year old school fellowship leader who can sing solos to large congregations. I perceive you somehow think complicit means consenting. No, complicit is helping to commit a crime or do wrong in some way. She covered him up. Cleared the scene of the alleged disvirginity. She can hear him knock the door but suggests that its a big house and nobody will hear her shout if she tried. And she was transfixed till she drank krest, and also on his car bonnet. I guess you've never met an SU girl of 1999 period that she portrayed herself to be. SU girl will accuse you and rebuke you without motive self, just touch one mistakenly and see. This is someone that allegedly slapped an old man for looking at her when she was 10years old oh, not the baby you are projecting. She simply protected herself as totally faultless, which is not entirely true. Oga, stop recycling this crap, I beg you.  Talk to any psychologist, and they would tell you that people react differently when attacked, assaulted or faced with danger. At the time she slapped someone when she was 10 years old, the circumstances, location and perpetrator must have been different, compared to when she was 16 years old. Don't forget that you are talking about her pastor, o!  Somebody she used to fear and respect. It must have been a different person who looked at her when she was 10 years old.  And like I have explained cover and over again, some people can fight or resist when they are being sexually assaulted, while others will freeze in fear, when thrown into the same situation.  Somebody who is bold while facing a particular situation, might cower in fear or shock, if that same situation occurs, in a different location at a different time.  If at the age of 10 years, an adult family member was present, she might have had the courage to take action that she could not take at a later date, without anyone beside her. |

sweetrace: Say no to false accusations!!! Because she did not hide her identity means she’s telling the truth? Keep quoting psychology that does not apply to Busola. She was paralyzed the first time, and second time and third time... we are waiting for part four of her tales by moonlight. If she was involved in an affair with him, she should be courageous enough to say so instead of this hogwash! One day, she’ll meet her Waterloo. #say no to false accusations! # say no to mindless destruction of people’s lives! #say no to double standards! Busola does not need to procure any evidence, but the rest of us need to abi? Arrant crap! Mindless destruction of people's lives?  Just listen to yourself. A man who has been placed in spiritual authority over the lives of old and young people, decides to abuse that authority by preying on a young girl, and he is being called out for doing so, yet the only thing you can do is to blame his victim.  And then you jump up to accuse those who refuse to let him get away with his antics, of falsely accusing him. Yet, the same guy cannot offer a robust defence to clear himself, instead he just proffers some watery excuses, in an attempt to sweep things under the carpet. When he sees that the heat is getting too much, he steps down from the pulpit. It is because of people like you, that rape victims do not come out, to report the sexual assault perpetrated on them.  From your comments, it is so clear to see that you are a rape apologist. Enough of victim shaming. Enough of you lot cooking up lies, to discredit the victim.

By James W. Hopper June 23, 2015
James W. Hopper, PhD, is an independent consultant and part-time instructor in psychology in the Department of Psychiatry of Harvard Medical School. He has conducted research on the neurobiology of trauma, and trains investigators, prosecutors, judges, and higher-education professionals on its implications. Here, he offers his explanation of why people don’t always respond to an attack the way others might expect:
In the midst of sexual assault, the brain’s fear circuitry dominates. The prefrontal cortex can be severely impaired, and all that’s left may be reflexes and habits.
In the Washington Post’s recent series on college sexual assault, many victims describe how they reacted – and did not react – while being assaulted.
Another article also published this month, in the Harvard Review of Psychiatry, shows that some responses have been programmed into human brains by evolution.
Bringing together the accounts of those who have been assaulted with the neurobiology of trauma can play an essential role in supporting healing and the pursuits of accountability and justice.
For example, freezing is a brain-based response to detecting danger, especially a predator’s attack. Think deer in the headlights.
As one woman told the Post, “I didn’t say no, but I didn’t really know what to do. I just kind of froze.”
Freezing occurs when the amygdala – a crucial structure in the brain’s fear circuitry – detects an attack and signals the brainstem to inhibit movement. It happens in a flash, automatically and beyond conscious control.
Simultaneously with the freeze response, the fear circuitry unleashes a surge of “stress chemicals” into the prefrontal cortex, the brain region that allows us to think rationally – to recall the bedroom door is open, or that people are in the dorm room next door, for example, and to make use of that information.
But the surge of chemicals rapidly impairs the prefrontal cortex. That’s because, despite our dominant role on the planet now, we evolved as prey, and when a lion or tiger is upon us, stopping to think is fatal.
Indeed, no one understands better than the military that intense fear impairs our prefrontal cortex and capacity for reason.
When bullets are flying and blood is flowing, you had better have some really effective habit learning to rely upon.
That’s why combat training is rigorous and repetitive – to burn in habits of effectively firing weapons, executing combat formations, etc.
Most victims will freeze, if only briefly. Some will fight back, effectively. Some will resist in habitual, passive ways. Some will suddenly give in and cry. Others will become paralyzed, become faint, pass out or dissociate.
Few who have experienced these responses realize that they are brain reactions to attack and terror.
They blame themselves for “failing” to resist. They feel ashamed. (Men especially may see themselves as cowards and feel like they’re not real men.) They may tell no one, even during an investigation. Sadly, many investigators and prosecutors still don’t know some or all of these brain-based responses.
None of these responses – in women or men – entails consent or cowardice.
None is evidence of resistance too insufficient to warrant our respect and compassion.
They are responses we should expect from brains dominated by the circuitry of fear (just as we should expect fragmented and incomplete memories).
May the day come when everyone who knows someone who has been sexually assaulted – which is all of us, whether we know that yet or not – understands these basic ways that our brains can react to such attacks and uses this knowledge to foster healing and justice.

sweetrace: Oh my goodness!!! You sound like a self righteous prig. Please show the evidence Busola provided with her accusation of multiple rape stories that you’re here spitting fire on her behalf!!! No evidence, but your groups went to a place of worship to yell insults at people: shouting shameless! Rapist! I watched the video. People who did not care that kids could hear them. No evidence, yet castigating the pastor. Only based on Busola’s word. Did you verify that she was actually raped? Did you see any evidence of the rape? Has it been proven in a competent court of law that the pastor raped her or is popular opinion enough for you? What kind of vicious person is Busola that she did not think of the effect of her actions on his wife, children and even the body of Christ before she took her case to social media instead of the appropriate quarters? Please believe what you will, but know that some of us don’t just depend on inductive reasoning. As for your thunder, it is as harmless as a firefly. When people lack valid facts to support their claims, they get hysterical just like you have done.  The victim came out to tell the full story of how the pastor sexually assaulted her. She did not hide her identity, but said it on video. She gave specific details of each incident, including full descriptions of what transpired between her and the pastor. What did he do?  He issued some watery excuses as a defence and was unable to give a robust refutal to her allegations. And you are here, claiming that it did not happen. Na wa o! You rape apologists are unbelievable. You even claimed that because she did not scream or fight back, there was no rape. Chai! Why have you refused to use the brain, that God gave you? On top of that, you alleged that she got married in the same church and got a car from the same man who sexually assaulted her. You did not ask for proof, o. You just believed it and ran with it.  If the same thing had happened to your sister, daughter of close relative, would you have continued reciting these false claims?  Please educate yourself on how the human mind works, when it comes to rape victims, instead of recycling falsehood. Why many rape victims don’t fight or yell

sweetrace: I read it right here on Nairaland and Instagram. God gave you a brain, kindly use it. She was paralyzed with fear multiple times, right? Now we have so many pseudo psychiatrists trying to justify Busolas story. Who ever started the car story must have borrowed a leaf from Busola if the story is not true. You read it on Nairaland and Instagram. Did you verify who said it?  People on Nairaland have user names. They don't use their real identities. Yet, you just ran with the fake story, and started making false claims with it, and even wrote an epistle to discredit the girl.  The thunder that will fire rumour mongers like you, is still doing press-up at Bar beach. It will not miss your address when it is unleashed.  |

sweetrace: Just stop! I’m a woman who grew up in Nigeria! Of course I know about rape. Do you know how many times men have tried to sleep with me against my own will? Even before I became a teenager! Of course I pushed them off! And I told my mum! Busola’s story does not hold water. How can it be rape when there was no resistance! When the supposed victim kept on going to her alleged rapist? When she remained under his authority as her pastor? If he was her father who was responsible for her, then I’d say she had no where else to go to. But there are thousands of churches in Nigeria she could have gone to, but she remained under the tutelage of her alleged rapist! Haba!!!! I’ve read that she married in the same church and was given a car as a wedding present and she collected it! She was 17 and not 7 when the alleged rape took place and she kept going back for more. My take on this is that Busola is still in love with the pastor and has no room in her heart for Timi. Hence her moodiness and all the crap behavior he described. She compares them all the time and Timi falls short in her eyes. I laugh because an affair is not rape. Please God Almighty gave you a brain. Kindly use it. People react differently when confronted with danger or sexual assault.  Some people will fight back, while others will freeze and become paralysed with fear. So that excuse of " no resistance" that you are reciting, does not hold water. Ask any psychologist or psychiatrist that has handled or counselled rape victims before.  In your case you were able to fight them off. Thank God for your strength. Pray you do not meet an aggressive hefty character who would pin you down, and make nonsense of your so-called strength. Secondly, she NEVER got married in COZA . She got married in House of The Rock (HOTR). So where did you hear this lie and you decided to recycle it? And when did she receive this fake car, that all of you are making noise about? Must you guys lie, in order to make a point?  |

BlackPantherCri: I would have believed you but your facts are distorted. The Dakolos wedded in House On The Rock. The moment I saw this false news it invalidated your entire argument. Sorry ,COZA apologist. Ask your pastor to ask God for forgiveness. His sins caught up with him Tell them, o! He is not only a COZA apologist, but also a rape apologist. See the lies they are cooking up, just to discredit the girl and whitewash their pastor.... |

Ready2speak: And u believe this to be what will lead to unity? Hahahahaha una de make us laugh. My dear that guy Sowore is working for Tinubu & d current amala progressives in Yoruba land. U can take that to d bank. Kanu must be very very careful. ;DD
He does not need to storm a barrack. They have destroyed their reputation. All over d world & their partisanship has earned them the worst opprobrium as an ethnic army not fit to be called a national army. So running after unarmed group while been made mince meat by insurgent group without a strong fighting for a big minus for them. An army d personnel are compiling of cave age equipments, 3rd century gear & obsolete hardware is a shame to defend. Those defending them look stupid. Chew on that. Continue ranting online. It changes nothing. You guys are just good at making noise. If you and him feel so aggrieved, please go and face the army in their barracks and hold them to account. All your wailing online isn't going to help your case. |

SageMK: So what if she collected a car gift or got wedded by the same man? — How does that proof Biodun innocence?
In fact, that can be easily be interpreted as a bribe to buy her silence. I should be the one arguing you to use your brain because her getting pregnant outside wedlock is also no defense to proof the innocence of Biodun at all. Why do you keep reciting falsehood? Busola did NOT get married in COZA. She got married in another church. And where did you see Fatoyinbo giving her a car? Haba! Recycling fake news is an offence, o. |

rockcitie: Bros, you need to get your facts right & stop believing every trash & lies you see all over Instagram or Twitter. If you took time to watch the interview, you'll not be ranting here.
1[b]. First & foremost, in the interview she granted, she made it clear that she was no longer comfortable attending the COZA church after the rape incident & she completely withdrew from all their church activities including the choir. [/b]
2. She also clearly stated in the interview that she left COZA shortly after the rape incident & started attending WINNERS CHAPEL. Go & watch the interview so that you can stop distorting the facts.
3. Busola Dakolo NEVER worshipped again in COZA after she left the church in the early 2000's till date.
4. Those who know the Dakolo's have confirmed that both Busola & Timi Dakolo were worshipping in the same church (NOT COZA) in 2010 at the time when she was a chorister while he was the Choir Master.
5. They got wedded on 31st March 2012 in the church they were both attending. (Google is your friend).
6. The Dakolos certainly DID NOT wed at COZA. God bless you for setting the facts straight. Can you see how these fake supporters of the man, have started conjuring up strange lies in a bid to exonerate their demi-god?  The thunder that will fire these people, is still doing press-up at Bar beach. It will not miss their address, the day it is unleashed.  The Dakolos even got married in House on The Rock, from what I heard, yet these clowns keep insisting she got married in COZA. |

partnerbizz5: Bringing in -- if my sister was raped blah blah blah... is lame. Address the issue and avoid ad hominem. Which rape victim would associate with his assailant for years. Someone raped you and you still went to his house to attend to the wife?
You still joined him in his car?
He got you out, did it at the car trunk then took you to the bonnet to gain more access? Yes "gain more access" Those were her exact words.
My 12 year old niece wouldn't be that stupid.
Your rant about in many countries is hollow. For in many countries too watching porn alone attracts death sentence. Example is South Korea.
WHAT I analysed above is exactly what transpired. You can take that to the bank. Nothing lame about making reference to his sister. People are quick to insult others, but when it happens to people close to them, that is when they can put themselves in the victim's shoes.  Talk to a psychologist about this case, and they will tell you that there is no normal parameter to interprete the subsequent actions a rape victim would take, as different people react in different ways, when placed in a particular situation.  After the initial act of rape, she could have been intimidated or sexually manipulated, or mentally coerced by the perpetrator, to go and help his wife. Or she could have felt the pastor would not be able to assault her, if she stayed close to his wife. Who knows?  But her subsequent actions does not invalidate the fact that she was raped in her own home, by an authority figure she had earlier trusted. #SayNoToRape.#DontJustifySexualAssault |

kingzizzy: Oh I see. You are a typical Nigerian who reasons as if the world is made of pancakes. You dont care that your Nigerian Army is breaking the law and committing mass murder. What you care about is that the murder was not accurately reported to reflect that Kanu was not killed.
You want a better Nigeria but dont care that government is acting illegally and recklessly
I laugh in Japanese If you like, laugh in Cantonese. I have told you what to do. Stop complaining and whining about the Nigerian Army on the internet. Empty barrels like you make the most noise. So stop wailing here.  Just storm the nearest army barracks near you, and deal with them. There is no need to rant on the internet. Take action. Chikena.  |

oluwalonprovide: Now this is my take on this RAPE issue… Please am not in support of rape but I just want us to understand something here.... Picture 2 is a young girl that was raped and the evidence is there, very clear, none of you hypocritical assess came to protest, infact it didn't trend at all, nobody consoled her, no money was raised for her, because she's not a celebrity and probably not a rich man's daughter, but a grown up woman who happens to be a celebrity told us that she was raped 20 years ago and in less than 24hrs there is a protest against the church, a Nigerian lawyer is filing for the church to be shut down, you people seriously need deliverance. Busola said that this pastor came and raped her, she didn't scream, even her own sis wjo is upstairs never noticed anything, so who cleaned the blood? It happened in Warri and yet you still went to Abuja and be attending that same church , later you claim to be traumatized , haba !!anty easy abeg!! Second video you claimed that you later told your mum, told this one, that one, blah blah blah, so after all this shit, why did you raise this issue now?Busola and her hubby use una dey make money indirectly, go and check how many viewers the video has now and they also edited it, some ladies also came out of their holes to claim they were also raped, After 20years, why did you raise this issue now that your hubby and pastor Fatoyinbo is having problem? Have you forgotten that he contributed 90% towards your marriage to Timi? He did the connection, there is something you are not telling us here, he raped you first time, 2nd time and 3rd time, without your consent??all this new era church that dress as they like and all sorts of immortality, what do you expect? Recently Busola was accused of eating church money abi choir money and also sleeping around, you didn't tackle that one, na rape of 20yrs ago you want to use and gain sympathy right?you still open your mouth said your hubby encouraged you to speak up bah? Now that he's not in good terms with pastor Fatoyinbo,..HYPOCRITES May God forgive you all I SAY NO TO RAPE BUT AM NOT STANDING WITH BUSOLA Image may contain: 4 people, people smiling One million long epistles will not exonerate any act of rape. For you to justify Fatoyinbo's antics, it means you must have done similar things in the past. Now, please take your rapist apologist self, out of my mentions. #SayNoToRape |

kingzizzy: So what you are bothered about is that Kanu was erroneously reported as having been killed?
You are not bothered that your Nigerian Army trampled on democracy and the rule of law by illegally invading a man's house and killing those present?
Clap for your self No, you should be the one clapping for yourself because of your stuvpid remarks.  If the actions of the Nigerian army bothers you too much, go into their barracks to confront them and beat them up. If you don't do it, dem no born you well. |

glowingflame7: Told her mum, her dad, her sister, her brother, her friend, the police, her church, somebody, anybody, the psychologist, whoever. She's so paralysed she can't resist first time, second time, many times, every time. Then too paralysed to tell anyone. Indeed. This must be a special disease known only to educating psychologists. She's definitely complicit IF she was raped. I can't believe you said this. So you haven't heard of young kids or people being raped by close family friends or relatives under the same roof for years, before such acts were discovered?? And you have the guts to say she was complicit in the rape? Maybe if your sister, daughter or female relative is raped, you can say they were complicit in their own rape....it just shows the kind of person you are. #SayNoToRape. |
