NOLLYWOOD star actress, Halima Abubakar has threatened to call out billionaires who are rapists.
Reacting to the death of 22-year-old Uwavera Omozuwa, the 100-level student of UNIBEN, who was raped and murdered in a church in Edo state, and 19-year-old Barakat Bello, who was gang raped and murdered in Oyo state, Abubakar said she knows some billionaires who are guilty of rape, and would not hesitate to call them out.
While advising people to stop telling those who have been raped to share their stories, the popular role interpreter said everyone deserves to share their rape story when they are ready because of the trauma involved in such incidents.
She wrote; “STOP TELLING PEOPLE WHEN TO TELL THEIR EXPERIENCE. WE CALL IT TRAUMA‼️DONT TELL ANYONE, THE TIME FRAME TO COMPLAIN ABOUT RAPE. IF WE ARE GOING TO REPORT RAPE OR HARASSMENT. HALF OF THE MEN ARE QUILTY.
“DONT SHAME PEOPLE AND YOU QUILTY. BUT HIDE AND INTIMIDATE AND EVEN BLOCK THEIR INCOME. DONT LET ME CALL, SOME OF YOUR FAVS AND BILLIONAIRES. EVERY ONE IS JUST INCONSIDERATE.”
“FROM THE COMMON MAN TO THE HIGH AND MIGHTY💯SHUT UP🔞……….RAPE IS RAPE💯DONT MAKE ME CALL YOU OUT……. ANYONE WHO DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS MESSAGE 😏IS A RAPIST TOO🤡#saynotorape#noisno#mummyM.”
In view of recent happenings, it is common knowledge that rape culture is pervasive in the country. While the contexts may differ, it is however pertinent to understand that rape culture is always rooted in patriarchal beliefs, power, and control.
How do you think it can be ended?
