1. Getting justice for victims and survivors of rape in Nigeria remain problematic. Even in the face of explicit, undeniable, and admissible evidence, issues bordering on "technicalities" are used as excuses to frustrate justice.

We must all be worried...

2)... about today's concurrent judgments at the Federal High Court (Makurdi) on the civil case of negligence brought against Mrs. Felicia Ogbuja, and that of the Benue State High Court on the criminal case of rape against Mr. Andrew Ogbuja and his...

3) ...his fugitive son, Victor Ogbuja.

We'd fail previous and upcoming generations if we, as a society, allow Ochanya Ogbanje's case go without the justice she truly deserves. We must not be a people that easily moves on after the initial dust of shock...

Isn't it funny that you're concerned about the clothes she was wearing when you should be concerned about the vile heart of the rapist?

Isn't it disturbing that you're concerned about what she was doing at a particular place, when you should be concerned about why a rapist would be walking freely on the streets?

Shouldn't we check you for asking why she couldn't scream or run,

when obviously she was overpowered and scared to death?

And then it goes on and on again, blaming the rape victims!

How do you blame a child that was raped by her father?
How do you blame her for being raped by her sibling?

पुण्याची आण - बाण - शाण आणि अभिमान वगैरे असणाऱ्या शनिवारवाड्यापासून पुढे चालत गेलं की अप्पा बळवंत चौक लागतो. तिथं पुस्तके मिळतात अर्थातच अभ्यासाची. तिथे पुस्तकाची खूप दुकाने आहेत. तशी ती सगळीकडेच असतात पण इथे जरा जास्तच तेथून थोडं पूढे गेलं कि श्रीमंतांचा

सोनेरी सोनेरी दगडूशेठ हलवाई गणपती लागतो. तिथं नतमस्तक व्हायचं. म्हणजे तसा काही नियम नाही पण मागच्या चौकताला सिग्नंंल तोडून आलेला माणूसही आपलं जे काही दोन - चार चाकांचं वाहन असेल ते सावकाश करून मान झुकवून बाप्पाच्या पाया पडून पुण्य पदरात पाडून घेतो. आपल्या चांगल्या - वाईट कर्मांची

शुद्धी करून पुढे गेलं की डाव्या हाताला एक रस्ता जातो. रस्ता तसा उजविकडेही जातो पण आपण डावीकडेच जायचं. कारण तिकडे गर्दी असते गर्दी तशी तर सगळीकडेच असते. गावाकडे नसते असो तर आपण डावीकडे जाणाऱ्या रस्त्याने पुढे जायचं तिकडे बुधवार पेठ आहे.

आपण डावीकडे - उजवीकडे पाहायचं आणि पुढे
