“Oh my goodness, now that lump has melted into liquid so the flood gates flung open and the tears started gushing out. It was not a very pleasant sight as the choir leader could not continue the song. This is to give you an insight to the kind of person my friend was and the life she lived. She was extremely intelligent, kind, simple and most of all, was so in love with God and His word. Well as I tried to calm down, he walked in. THE HUSBAND. I am sure by now you are thinking I would run to console him since I was very close to her and he knew me. Instead of that I stood up and walked to the other side of the church And sat down. That was when i knew how much respect I had for the church and the dead. If I could, I would lock him up in the coffin so he could go with her, after all he put her there in the first place.” — Read the full story here
WHEN IS IT ENOUGH? is a short film by Daniel Ademinokan starring Stella Damasus, Georgina Castel, Onwurah Agility amongst others based on Stella Damasus’ article “When is it Enough?”
“The man who swore to love and protect you is the one who is killing you, the parents who gave you to him in marriage will tell you not to leave your home because it is not a family trait and it will bring shame upon the family, you are too ashamed to even let people know you are going through domestic violence for fear of being stigmatized, you are not protected by law enforcement agents nor the law because some of them do the same thing to their wives, then the only place which is the house of God also tells you to go back to the place where you are being destroyed.“
“The policeman she met on duty laughed and said “madam na domestic matter be dis abeg, husband and wife must fight, go beg your husband”“
“In a country where an accurate autopsy cannot be carried out, let alone crime investigation, What do you expect?“
“Go back home and maintain peace please, remember that God hates divorce so you cannot leave your home and children“
