The untoward death of Vera “Uwa” Uwaila Omozuwa, cuts deeply. In recent times, there have been incidences of violence but the circumstances of her death make this one saddening and entirely enraging. According to reports, Uwa was studying in the church when the gruesome assault happened. For now, there is not much information to go by, although there is some cheering news that the police already made some arrests.
The second thing is that there is no fear of God in Nigeria. For a gang of miscreants to breach a church and commit such a heinous crime, it is an instructive commentary on our social condition. Despite all our religiosity, our massive economic and social investments in the practices of our various religions, God has minimal impact on our daily lives.
A society where people have a fear of God is one with a sense of duty to the commons. They nurture an understanding of mutual responsibility to preserve human and natural resources. They keep ramming into every generation that social flourishing is not incidental. It takes deliberate collective efforts. As individuals, we can only thrive when the rest of society does too.
When you move out of those places to the institutions tasked with dispensing knowledge, the story is not really different. Apart from religious houses, one thing we also have in abundance is schools. After ruining our public education system, we began to create countless mushroom private ones as a redoubt against the demonic forces of ignorance we have unleashed on society. But where did that get us? Knowledge is cash and carry, but much of it is inferior.
If a girl come to your house is it a rape?
Well stated.
The act of rape can take place anywhere especially when people no longer have any atom of fear for their Maker.
Oh God, have mercy on us
What is the attachment to church? Simply put, this is the girl raped. Is it that she was in the church that made her to be raped? The church of a thing is my concern. Rapist should face death by hanging.
Devil is more scared to do that in God's Sanctuary. It means men amplified his evil act more than the devil himself.
Well said
Story
Not again Chief 👌
They will never do anything about this, until their own children fall victim !
Pastors only preach about prosperity, offering and tithe, they no longer preach about Holiness and fear of God, we are tired of rape, it's should be declared a pandemic
We are a country that carries religion for head like bags of cement, yet the fear of God and respect for humanity is not common. You will have to look far and wide. Most of these criminals believe in God too. Demons too believe anyway, and they tremble.
Rape can happen anywhere, whether in church, mosque, shrine or street, the act is bad and should made capital offence.
You mean raped in a 'Church building'? Rape/false rape accusation can happen anywhere. Everyone needs to be careful.
I'm not surprised because Your name shows it all 🙄
Castration is the best punishment for rapist..
