RAPE, ITS JUSTIFICATION AND VICTIM SHAMING

It's sad that this is a world where things are not perfect but isn't that why we have laws; to correct the ills in society? I read today on a blog about a filmmaker who said that "nonviolent rape" should be legalized and that the reason rapists were raping girls was because they were sexually frustrated and that girls should accept it and even prepare themselves for it by carrying condoms and cooperating with their rapists. In fact it is clear that civilization is beyond running water and having flushable toilets, a lot of minds are still in a dark place. Before you join the number of people condemning him, think of how you shame victims of rape by suggesting that somehow they did something to provoke the animal instinct in the rapist.

The dust hasn't settled yet on the case of Busola Dakolo and Biodun Fatoyinbo where an Abuja high court struck out the case and called an abuse of court processes and said it was statue barred. They were irregularities as cited by the Dakolos even before the case began as the case was moved to Abuja where Biodun Fatoyinbo is domiciled and has influence instead of Lagos where the complaint was initially filed. Lawyers said the case was dismissed for lack of evidence but the question is do you need evidence to convict a criminal when its not as if someone would have the frame of to record a crime being committed against him\her. The law says you should be able to prove a case beyond reasonable doubt so on the strength of the argument, couldn't the case have been proven?

Biodun Fatoyinbo you may have escaped human justice but there is one whose justice you can't escape and that is God. He clearly said in his word that though hand join in hand, the wicked can never go unpunished. The christian community is sick. Yes, the church is sick. You would keep finding people who justify evil with the word of God. CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria) called it a victory for Christianity. No CAN, it is not a victory for Christianity, it is not even a victory for Biodun Fatoyinbo. The  Bible clearly tells us that we should not marvel for even Satan has transformed into an angel of light and his ministers as angels of righteousness, their end will be what their work deserves.

Finally to the people shaming the victim, you are best classified as educated illiterates. You don't even know your left from your right yet you carry a certificate. Someone said we have more important issues in this country, why should we then be concerned about someone who was raped? It is because we do not deal with things like this in this country that is why our leaders are corrupt since we have no moral right to correct them. The truth will surely prevail.

WAR ROOM

A beautiful movie showing us the love of God and His ever standing faithfulness to His children. Elizabeth and Tony Jordan were two  successful people who were religious but hadn't known what it was like for God to minister unto them. They had a big house, nice jobs, with Tony as a pharmaceutical salesman and Elizabeth as a realtor. They  had a daughter called Danielle. Despite the wealthy lifestyle, Tony was cold towards his family. He refused to give money to his wife's sister and was verbally abusive towards her. He treated Danielle no less than a property gotten from one  of his illegal deals.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and The Royal Family

In the last few days, the media has been a washed with the interview that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry granted Oprah Winfrey on the reason why they stepped down as senior members of the royal family. Before the interview became cold, the media(both social and traditional) was agog with majority talking about it and siding with the couple on all their claims especially the claim of institutionalized racism against the Royal Family by Meghan Markle.  It’s sad that this is an age where everything and anything can go viral just at the click of a button.  Let us dissect the issues: Racism; Meghan claimed that a member of the Royal Family raised the issue of her son’s skin color while she was pregnant for him. She then went to say that he was denied a title because of this. I am not in kindergarten. Even a child can see clearly that Meghan wants a title for her son and I am sure she knows that according to the British Constitution, her son was not entitled to the title of Prince because hi

STILL ON DIVERSIFICATION OF THE ECONOMY

It is no longer news that South Africa has bypassed Nigeria as the biggest economy in Africa; this was as a result of the appreciation of the Rand, South Africa’s currency and the concomitant depreciation of naira over US dollar caused by the reduction in oil prices. You may recall that two years ago during Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, Nigeria overtook South Africa as the biggest economy in Africa after the rebasing of the nation’s economy. Nigeria is currently a mono-economy and no country maintains economic stability in such situation, hence the current administration must go beyond the usual government rhetorics and revamp the nation’s economy so that the people can experience economic development. To diversify the economy, government should look into the following areas:
