Osai Ojigho, the director for Amnesty International in Nigeria, said the horrific incident “resonates because even in the spaces that women and girls should be safest from gender-based violence, the home, the schools and now places of worship, it is getting there”.

Female Sex Dolls
A sex doll mimics almost every sexual pleasure a grown adult woman can offer. The downside; only the rich can afford to get one as the price of a sex doll cost at least N700,000! The govt could subsidise the cost.

Sperm Extractor
The 'hand movement' act can be hectic & uninspiring sometimes, welcome the Chinese made 'Sperm Extractor'. As the name suggest, this machine, which can simulate a vaginal environment, through massages, twitching, sucking & vibration was created to 'aid' sperm..

To all rape apologists and victim blamers out there, do you know what my rapist did?
1 he tied the door knobs to all the rooms in the compound (there were ten rooms) except mine so that no one would be able to come out if I screamed.
2 he broke into my window.

3 he tied my hands behind my back and tied my legs while he went to open my door and hid the key (where he got a rope from is a mystery cause I had none in my room)
4 he took my gadgets outside so I wouldn't be able call anyone immediately.

5 he raped me twice on my bed; yes. After his first round, he flipped the mattress and forced his way in again because I had peed the first time (the only thing I knew about sex then was my secondary school biology. I have never touched or felt a live penis before.
For far too long women and young girls in our nation have suffered the pain, hurt and stigma of gender-based violence and abuse. Too many have been hurt, intimidated and bullied. Too many have died. Such violence is inexcusable. There is nothing that can defend this wrongdoing.
All of us are born of woman and nurtured of woman. Vera Uwaila Omozuwa is the most recent name on a list, far too long, of women who have lost their lives at the hands of these vile criminals. Today, I rise in solidarity with women in Nigeria to say #enoughisenough.

3/5 We no longer feel safe,our pride as a girl child is being dragged to wallow in the mould on daily basis,we as a girl child is not an object of rape therefore we should not be subject to rape or sexual harassment of any kind....Our dignity,our pride,and our self esteem ...
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,
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?

Amnesty International condemns the rape and brutal murder of Vera Uwaila Omozuwa; a 22-year-old 100-level student of the University of Benin, Edo State. Vera Uwaila was raped and killed inside a Redeemed Christian Church of God in Benin city. #JusticeForUwa #RapeIsACrime
While the nation is still coming to terms with this gross violation, in Jigawa state 11 men were arrested for raping a 12-year old girl at Limawa in Dutse, the state capital. Although rape is a crime in Nigeria government’s response to it continues to be, woefully inadequate
Rising cases of rape across Nigeria was a result of the failure of law enforcement to ensure that rapists face justice. We are deeply concerned that perpetrators of rape in Nigeria invariably escape punishment. #JusticeForUwa #RapeIsACrime

I have ordered the Nigeria Police Force ( @PoliceNG ) to thoroughly investigate the circumstances that led to the death of Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, a 100-level student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

How does a 22 year old lady get raped and murdered in a church & no word from you to pull the weight of the church to bring justice & end to this? Why the hell are we praying for Pastor Adeboye on a day our daughter was raped & murdered IN A CHURCH??? What prayer?? #JusticeForUwa
I have blocked too many dogmatic fellow in this thread than I have in the past 2weeks. I have zero patience for people who lose thoughts for religious dogmatism. Muslim or Christian.

WHEN YES DOES NOT MEAN CONSENT.
