The sudden increase in the cases of RAPE in Nigeria is becoming rather alarming. Earlier this year when every family was still basking in the euphoria of crossing the hurdles of 2007, we woke up to the gory details of how men in the Northern part of the country RAPE innocent girls all in their search for HIV/AIDS cure.

Just come to think of it, how could anybody in their right senses think sleeping with a virgin could cure them of a disease? How callous could men be in this generation? As a matter of fact, it was not only the Girls family that suffered but people like me, who cherishes these young souls.

Kindly close your eyes for a second and open it. Probably, if you don’t know, then I will tell you, the number of HIV/AIDS victims just got increased by one hundred in your locality. Then are we going to fold our hands and watch this innocents souls die? Are we going to act as if they don’t belong to us, you better watch it.

That your pretty little girl; in the best Nursery School could be the next victim. Oh you don’t know then, I will tell you. What makes you think her teacher is an angel? Come off it, you think her uncle is just too nice. Then, better watch your back because someone is stealing your pretty angel innocence right in your home. So why cant we all join hands and fight against this demons in our midst.

I can hear you, you said why will you when you never had a child, then I have an answer for you, it could be your aunt’s child or YOU! Who says they don’t RAPE grown ups. Then, ask those who have been victims

A word from LEA, please join in the fight.

Violence against the GIRL-CHILD must stop because they grow up to be the woman we all talk about. If it cannot stop now, if we cannot stop today, who will stop it tomorrow?
