1/3 To those asking/saying:
"Why did she go back?/She's an adult!"

Here are some pointers:

This is what the evil of patriarchy looks like; unequal power dynamics: version from spouse & state (Gov/Wife);

Socialization & conditioning of girls to tie their self-worth to marriage;
2/3. She has children so issue of custodial rights were she to leave her husband especially if she does not have the financial means to fight it out in court;

Lack of financial independence;

Lack of psychological freedom to face pressure from family/friends/influential persons;
3/3 Fear of overall societal stigma which generally shames divorced/separated/single women and denies them dignity & respect;

“Nobody listened. Nobody cared”

A cry for help from Ifeoma Blossom Joy Obiora, a 27 year old mother who put out this and other statements that appeared to be a suicide note via her face book page to draw attention to her plight at the hand of the husband Onyebuchi Obiorah,
a Motor parts dealer at Nnewi. Both parties hail from Nnewi.

She is in danger, currently locked in with her abuser. We tried to reach out to people to check on her following her Facebook post.
We have been working our phones and when we thought help had come and four policemen
sent on rescue to her.
The worst happened, that despite her plea the police officers started blaming her for crying out for help after narrating her ordeal and the physical and mental torture.

The husband assaulted her right while police officers were trying to gain entrance.

The other room
Where a woman pretends to be weak
So that a man can believe he is strong
Where a woman pretends to be foolish
So that a man can say he is wise
Where a woman stoops
So that a man can conquer.

The other room
where gods of men
Become worshippers of women
Where leaders of thought
Become minions Of the bleeders of blood
Where wielders of power Succumb to power.
The other room
Where the brashness of testosterone
Yields to the bra straps of Estrogen
Where the bravado of masculinity
Is tamed by the wiles of femininity
Where the turgid Becomes the flaccid
