Berger to Ajah; a Tale of Rape and Consent



If you don’t know why "Berger to Ajah" is trending, you will now. Behind it is a story of a twitter meet-up. Uche, the bearded, everyone-dream, everyday twitter guy DM-ing B moore and things got rosy. They chatted for a while and planned to meet up sometime in 2016. It was a trip from Berger to Ajah.  Harrowing with the fact the B Moore expected a pleasant connection but Uche could only give an unaffectionate but (probable) relish-able sex.

Fast forward to the present, Uche dude has been alleged to rape some girl through an advocate on this same twitter. B moore caught a wind of that, teamed up with the advocate for solidarity. The complex situation becomes compounded-complex. To clear the air, Uche leaked all private chats and DMs between him and B Moore showing their prior- and post-coital interaction. 




B-more encounter was obviously not a rape but an un-met expectation after a sexual knowledge. The bitterness of not being wanted after a mutually consented sex always ignited such hurt. In a tweet, B Moore further claimed that her consent to Uche was just to avert rape as she has experienced rape twice. Tweeps now argue between rape and sex, coercion and consent. 





 Anyway, the story has been leaked and it is a tip of many of such issues happening across the country. No one will tell you dating online is a crime. But to be safe, you need social-media-personality intelligence. People are not who they seem. Pseudo-persons are everywhere. Impersonation and unreal personalities abound. 

 My advice to damsels will be no to such dating. If you must, the guy visits first. Subsequent visits can be yours. If stubborn attraction forces you to desire going, establish explicit contact through calls--audio and video even relative-calling. Check the dude's wall for familial and office interaction to corroborate what he has told you.  Check-ins, and places he's been to can help. Chat any of his most tagged friends, or frequent respondents just to establish any figment of lies. Link his Twitter personality to his Facebook, Instagram and other accounts. If there is any lie, don’t and please deal with your desire within your known circle. 

Remember, sexual experience ceases to be a rape in as much there is no evidence of force. Visiting a dude unknown (and untested), every damsel should pessimistically expect the worse. Complicity is giving a strange dude that opportunity. We should learn to be wise: at least to reduce to minimal, such occurrence. If Uche dude is guilty he should be punished. If not, such spurious rape claimants should be severely punished too like a rapist.

'Ise kekere, owo n la' Less Work: More pay

Actually, that idiomatic expression as often employed in our prayers " Ise kekere, owo nla" can be understood from different perspectives. This is not to decry our elders. They have given varieties of proverbs to suit needs and moments beyond what a motivational book can condensedly give. 'Ai'ni arojinle ni mu iyawo pe oko re ni were nitori pe omo re omo were ni, oun gan fun rare iyawo were ( It's only a lack deep reflection that will make a wife call her husband a mad man because as such her child is the child of a mad man and she is a wife of a mad man). The focal point is the effect this idiomatic prayer has wrought on our social mentality like the musical cliche that has also turned into another idiomatic expression: " Mi o lè wa ku, mo ti gbiyan ju, Moti se iwon ti mo lè se, alubarika alubarika nikoko" ( I can't over-exert myself.  I have given it my best shot. God's blessing is significant). That rendition always lowers determinat...

A Father Nonetheless

A father should be a hero: gallant, and valiant. That's relatively the social expectation of a father figure. For such structure, fatherhood extends beyond sperming an ovum.  That's our expectations. Failure on these expectations sees the society questioning the father of his moral claim on the child.  For a mother, there is the unmatchable and unquestionable nine-month sacrifice that any amount of post-birth mishap or misnomer could not erase. The pain a mother passes through during birth is beyond any bearable decibel.  Therefore the baggage of expectation is often much on the father, as the mother's nature-induced pain has compensated for anything. When a father fails, the society and the child complain. But, should that mindset be coming from the child without considering other factors? Many a father nowadays desires to be a role model but the gnawing environment saps their realities to pitiable shambles. No excuse for them though but time is ha...

True True Mark of a Champion: Both Liverpool and Manchester City Came from behind to Claim Maximum Points in their Matches

 Klopp called his boys mentality monsters and of course they are. Coming from behind three times in a week to secure victory was massive. Aston Villa got the first goal and they intended to sit on it. They pushed and held forth till like 80 minutes into the game when Robertson equalised and Mane got the most dramatic winner at the tick-tock of the last minute. They are the king of comebacks. No one does it better than Klopp guys. #AVLLIV On #MCISOU James Ward Prowse tucked a rebound from Stuart Armstrong strike to put Sothampton ahead. City heaved and puffed before they could get an equaliser. Until Kyle Walker secured a goal and later assisted Aguero for the winner. Kyle Walker, the savior. Guardiola would love to be ahead but Klopp this time would not be willing to relinquish such lead. It unfolds we follow sha! --toonday
