Hypocrisy is a Nigerian, I swear it!

By Charles Ogbu.

For the past few days, the streets of Zuckerville have been suffering violence, verbal violence. It was as though the 3rd world war is happening here on facebook. The Adolf Hitler of this war is one Immanuel Ifediata, a young man full of intelligence but devoid of wisdom. He said something that convinced many people, not excluding yours sincerely, that leaving young girls under his care is not a wise thing. As I type this, efforts are on top gear to push him back to the labour market by prevailing on the authorities of the school where he teach to sack him.

Mind you, he did nothing that we are aware of. He only made a post that created the impression that he is a danger to young girl students, considering his position as a teacher.

Now,

Take a very good look at this screenshot.

That is Amanda Chisom, a woman. She admitted having knowledge of the brutal rape of an 11yr old girl by a 47yr old man. Amanda equally know the identity of a man who took both the rapist, his 11yr old victim and the parents and brothers of the victim to a bar where he paid them the sum of 15k to shut them up and stop them from reporting a serious crime such as rape to the law enforcement. Amanda had to wait to be cajoled and threatened by Euphemia Udanoh before promising to get Welfare People involved. Right about now, she is insisted she must be allowed to handle a grave crime such as rape by herself and daring those asking her to report the case to the police to take her to court.

Rape is a serious crime, not just against the victim but against the state. In societies where law holds any meaning, both the rapist, the **** who think he can 'settle' a rape case with 15k as well as Amanda Chisom who is more interested in protecting the identity of a rapist than she is in ensuring that the 11yr old innocent rape victim is gifted with justice, will all be in jail by now. But this is Nigeria. And as we all know, Nigeria is a walking disaster.

The tragedy of this situation is that I've seen thesame people who called for the head of Immanuel Ifediata reprimanding Euphemia Udanoh for publicly asking why Amanda who had no qualms naming and shaming as well as displaying the phone number of a lady purported to be a 'side-chick' should now have issues revealing the identity of a rapist who sexually abused an 11yr old girl even to the police.

If we all agree that Immanuel Ifediata is a potential paedophile and should loose his job over that post of his, what then should we say about Amanda Chisom who knew that an 11yr old girl was raped by a 47yr old man but has refused to either name and shame the he-goat or gift the police with info regarding this case to enable Nigerians monitor the case and ensure justice for the girl???

Why should a lady who calls herself a feminist even wait to be cajoled and threatened before promising (just mere promise) to involve Welfare board, not even the police in a case of the brutal rape of an 11yr old girl by a 47yr old man???

And why should you who call yourself a feminist express outrage at immanuel's post while turning a blind eye to Amanda's even when the latter involve a very serious crime of rape of a minor???

If we call for the head of Immanuel but maintain sealed lips over Amanda who it would seem, is codedly helping a rapist escape justice, what does that make us??

Is our activism now about who is involved?

Since last Saturday, most people I know have conveniently avoided this rape case simply because they value their friendship with Amanda over and above their so called love for the girl child and the need to keep girl children from harms way.

You hate rape and love girl children only when it suits you, right??

What sort of criminal hypocrisy is that???

The internet will always remember how you all turned a blind eye to the rape of an 11yr old just so you could maintain your friendship with a certain Amanda Chisom.

Certainly, Charles Ogbu will be here to always remind you how morally bankrupt and moronically hypocritical you are when next I hear you shout 'feminism' or regale us with tale of your undying love for the girl child.

If you condemn evil only when it is done by your enemy but turn a blind eye when the perpetrator is your friend, you are evil, yourself.

No one can make a private bargain with history.
