were pained by Bimbo’s and Osinachi’s death, so I thought. They endured until their endurance led them to their early graves. We all shouted that people experiencing dv in their marriage should leave to live. Till date, people still blame Bimbo, Osinachi and others like them for not leaving.
Now a young girl who got married prematurely to her grandpa’s agemate, for whatever reasons (neither you nor me can boast of having the full details), is crying out and you’re mocking her. Writing contents with her pains and family’s pains. Manufacturing lies here and there as if you lived with them. If you are not blaming her now, you’re blaming her mother, or father. Coming up with disturbing details about their family that you cannot prove.
A lady wrote a post, praising her father for coming to the rescue now. The same father that was called deadbeat. He was called all sorts of names even when you guys know nothing about him nor their family aside what you read on the internet.
I don’t have all the details as to what transpired in their marriage. That’s why I’m neither for the grandpa nor for the young girl. I’m neutral.
📌📌My only concern is that many of you are walking contradictions. If a woman dies in a marriage, you’ll blame her. If she leaves alive, you’ll blame her. I only pity women who still base their decisions on public opinions.
She alone knows what she saw that made her want to abandon the so-called wealth and influence.
To some people, her only offence is that she said that it’s better to cry in a private jet than in a Keke. So what? Now that she has decided not to cry in a private jet nko? Is she perfect? Are you perfect? Haven’t you said or done something sillier? Is it because she’s popular?
Finally, the hard truth is that some of you are just content creators, engagement farmers that will do that by all means including using people’s pains. You don’t really love nor h_ate anyone. You’re only writing contents. While some of you are driven by money. You support the rich, even if their faults are as obvious as corruption in Africa.
So, when next you hear that a woman died in her marriage, please keep quiet. You don’t really care.
The most pathetic here are those with herds mentality. Once your favorite person says something, whether it’s right or wrong, you’ll run with it. You’ll aye on this post and nay on another one. Na life be that? You don’t want to lose their favour nor the giveaway.
Try and have a mind of your own. It’s bliss. Don’t live and die following the crowd sheepishly.
I, Chidi A. Okoroafor , am known for saying the hard truth even if it means being ha_ted. What are you known for?
Uwa ntoor!
