Dumbo bringing foreign religion into a local issue. This is the quickest way to recognize an enslaved mindset. It was white Christians who funded the ships used to enslave your ancestors; turned them into beasts of the field and worked them to death in foreign lands during the transatlantic slave trade. Look around you, everywhere you look is flooded with Christian churches yet things get worse year after year despite millions of Christians attending those thousands of churches.

If it was happening in another zone the comments will be full of " this is why we cannot be on country and we must go our separate ways " are not better than else

But what are the women doing outside by 12 midnight

Obakoolex:
Very good.
To imagine that one mumu on the earlier thread was debunking the news that he stayed at ozoro for 2 years and never heard of such. That you've not heard of something doesn't mean it's not in existence.

Miggs:
You possess a terrible paternalistic mindset which believes men exist inorder to protect & fight for women and women are inherently incapable of protecting & fighting for themselves.This is untrue.Women can learn martial arts,carry pepper spray,remain indoors at certain periods of the day etc because whether we like it or not, unruly men have always & will always exist in every community/society & the onus is on women to avoid becoming their victims

Blakjewelry:
I know of different tribe that don't allow women outside during the festive period not only in delta state but also in different cultures.

If they comes out, it is believe it will affect their unborn child, so women are flogged if they are seen outside during when the masquerade is out, but I have never heard of women being raped.

Maybe the youth of today take it too far by unclothing but I can't say of the rape because I live not too far from that area and rumors of rape have not filtered to my area.

These sort of attacks on women were very prevalent in Abuja.I dont know if they still are.Hordes of men would just suddenly swarm a young lady grabbing & prodding. I actually witnessed one around 2012 around 6:30pm at Wuse motorpark.The men's excuse was always that the ladies were provocatively dressed

AlabiKILLER2023:
They meant well


Why should a woman be outside by that time of the day



They're just trying to protect them from harm


We all know woman can't protect them selves

Yxxx:
What are the men doing by 13 midnight? We are condemning an act. You are talking about time. In a sane country every gender can move around freely irrespective of time.

CJStarz:
Thank God for the social media.

For those of them advocating that we go back to our CULTURE, make una see am o.
Thank God for Christianity

olaniyilukman:
which Christianity, the same religion which your leaders encourage gays and lesbianism... chicken reason is your problem

festacman:
Christianity doesn't encourage gays and lesbians. They are simply reinforcing the God-given FREE WILL, which is subject to consequences. Yes, African societies are against it as one their values but the same societies have disgusting cultures such as shameful RAPE FESTIVAL.

Once again, thank God for Christianity.

Protecting themselves from what exactly. Wild he-goats 🫤

Seeplusplus:
If this barbaric act had happened in any northern state, these pigs would be all over the internet saying all sorts about the subjugation of women in northern Nigeria.

It is common knowledge from history, that the colonialists spent more time in the Southern part of Nigeria, reason why they have more educated people. We can say 95% of the atrocities going on in northern Nigeria today is due to illiteracy and religion, but what then can we say is the major clause of the atrocities going on the south, if not sheer love for evil?

Even the religion has been monetized.
Rape, prostitution, cultism, hooliganism, drugs, fraud etc is all domiciled in the South.

I hate this country soon much

Mattswaggz:
Same religion that have produced record fraudsters,prostitutes,get rich quick youths is what you're showing thanks to or what?.

shortgun:
Abeg make I hear word.
It's this gender equality nonsense that has destroyed all family values in the world today

CJStarz:
Christianity as a religion,does not turn people into fraudsters and what have you,rather ,it aims to bring people back to God by making them turn from their sinful ways but all the same,there are people who chose to remain fraudsters and all that you mentioned yet are seriously attending churches and pretending to be Christians.
There's a big world of difference between being a Follower of Christ and a Church goer.

See eh… anytime someone speaks up, it’s suddenly like we just enjoy complaining.

The so-called “r@ping festival” in Ozoro, Delta State, should never have happened. I’ve been to Delta State myself, even visited the King of Oleh Kingdom during an outreach with a foundation, and it’s honestly shocking to hear something like this associated with that region. I never imagined that people in Ozoro would sink this low or allow such a disturbing act to take place in their own community.

But how do you keep quiet in this day and age when we’re still dealing with something as disgusting and sensitive as ræpe and molestation in our society?

How do people still find it so easy to exploit others like this?
I had to go and watch the videos myself before saying anything and what I saw was beyond disturbing.

According to what I read, women are supposedly not allowed to be outside by 12 midnight for seven days or they risk being ræped by youths or men. What kind of madness is that?

What kind of so-called festival promotes something so vile?

Which culture celebrates violating women instead of protecting them?

I watched young girls being chased and harassed by a group of miscreants lying in wait, ready to pounce on innocent women all in the name of a festival.

Is that what we’ve reduced ourselves to?

I saw a woman on an okada surrounded by a mob, the rider almost lynched just because he didn’t stop, and they dragged the woman off the bike like she was nothing.

I saw another woman stripped naked by about 10 grown men ...twenty! before someone casually decided it was “okay” to let her go. Like her dignity meant absolutely nothing.

I saw a man trying to help a lady escape from that chaos, and by then her clothes and bra had already been torn apart.

Let’s stop deceiving ourselves, this is not a festival. This is organised, targeted sexual harassment, enabled by whoever came up with that completely senseless and evil idea.

Maybe this has been happening quietly before, but now that it’s out in the open, it must end.

Everyone involved in creating and promoting this barbaric act must face the full weight of Nigerian law. No excuses.

Why is it that we always lean toward the worst possible behaviour in this country?

Why do we embrace evil like it’s normal?

Look at the number of able-bodied men outside, full of energy to assault women but are nowhere to be found when it’s time to defend their communities from kidnappers and real threats.

The state government must act, track down every single person responsible and shut down that nonsense completely. Enough is enough.

The Chief Priest in Ozoro, along with the Oramudhu leaders who allegedly organised and planned the festival without the knowledge or approval of the king, have been arrested by the Nigeria Police Force.

This is not about gender equality but what is morally right. I repeat if everything is sane, movement can be any time irrespective of gender. Now gender equality is not nonsense.

shortgun:
Be there and be thinking you are wiser than your ancestors who kept women contained.

Gender equality is nonsense because any organization without a clearly defined leadership amounts to confusion and chaos as seen in modern families today
