As of then most
parents were myopic in reasoning, don't be surprised that if she had told them,
they might not have believed her.
Even your sister of
17years can't open her mouth to say she was raped by your friend in your own
house.
Rape has a way of
shutting mouths, you can't even speak out even to your best friend, it
victimises you for as long as you keep it a secret, but yet you can't spill it
out because of a whole lot of reasons best known to the victim, that is rape
for you.
At 17, she was
still young, confused and naïve. She can't even shout, cos of the invisible
veil rape comes with. Even if she wants to speak, she won't be able to. If she
says she won't go to Church, her mum will suspect and start questioning her.
You don't know what she was threatened with. It takes more than the grace of
God for a girl who was raped to speak out.
And to think that
she is now a married woman, even her husband might have gone through a lot
trying to deal with the psychological effect of the rape he might not have
known of.
But yet, she still
boldly decided to speak up, inasmuch as all she knows she'll face just because she
is a rape victim. She stands a lot to loose, but that not withstanding, she
finally spoke out to save herself and a lot of other girls from falling prey.
Only seeing the
pastor everyday in the internet and knowing that it was this man who not just
disvirgined you, but raped you is enough to traumatize you into insanity.
For her to be bold
enough to still speak out now, the only thing you have to do for her is
encourage her, she needs your support. I can tell you that this step she took
is never an easy one.
Rape is something
nobody can never understand except the victim.
Just pray that no
girl you know becomes a rape victim.

Nice piece, but then how do you know he actually raped her,
and if PST. Biodun wasn't a celebrity pastor would she have taking the pains to
drag his name to the mud

Chiamaka Jenny Ohazulike The matter is a delicate one and I
still say, it should be handled carefully. People have lied about getting
raped.
Like someone said, how do we know it wasn't a consensual sex
gone wrong and people who willingly slept with the pastor will now claim r…See
