“Today I am HIV positive, without knowing how I got it” – Rape victim slams comedian for making fun of rape in the name of comedy

“I was raped and deflowered as a minor, twice was I raped helplessly, when I was 16 years old, today, I am 37 years old, that pains has refused to left me.” – Ogechi Stella Njoku

 

In an emotional post that detailed some of the agonies of that moment when she was raped by strangers while still a teen, Facebook user, Ogechi Stella Njoku admonished comedian #Stainless not to make a trivial of a traumatic and harrowing social evil in the name of comedy.

She compared the pain of being raped as more “more excruciating than the pains of being HIV positive.”

Njoku says the experience was traumatic and the pain never goes away several years after the acts. She also revealed that she’s HIV positive and has no clue how she got infected (we think probably from the rape).

Njoku also revealed the events led to her becoming a victim.

She was a young girl that hawked goods for sales. The perpetrators lured her into their den under the guise of wanting to purchase some goods from her.

She said,

“I could hear that shout of the name of my product that led me to Ekeonuwa market, I wish I never heard them calling for my product, I wish I had finished sales earlier that day. I wish the dawn never break up for that day.

“They betrayed an innocent trust from a minor, who saw them as potential customers.
Joyfully went to sell to them, but came out in pains and tears.

#What a black day, August 23, 1996, the unforgettable Ekeonuwa/Douglass Road Owerri.”

Njoku also said that the insensitivity expressed by the comedian simple brought out the memory of the harrowing experience and compared the comedian to the men who raped her.

“This guy just brought back the memories of such scenario to me, the hawking, the rape, the pains, my fruitless shout for help, the ability not to walk after their cruelty, and the cries.
Who da hell is this comedian?
Who licenced him to practice?
He is no different from the wicked men that raped me in my helpless estate.”

“I have not been outspoken on my rape experiences, I decided not to write or emphasise much on it and about it, because the pains are more excruciating than the pains of being HIV positive.
But going by the actions of the so-called comedian #Stainless Precious making fun of rape and justifying his actions as an act of comedy, I strongly believe it is high time we held these predators responsible for rape.

“#Stainless Precious, How dare you to use rape as comedy under the pretence that you are a comedian?
Do you know what it means to be raped?
Do you know the psychological effect on victims?
Do you understand the emotional trauma associated with rape?
I was raped and deflowered as a minor, twice was I raped helplessly, when I was 16 years old, today, I am 37 years old, that pains have refused to left me.

“I escaped narrowly murdering the third person who attempted to rape me the third time while hawking because I had to, kicked him in his manhood (dick) when he had already torn my clothes into pieces, he was in pains when I ran out in pieces of clothes like rags, having my goods poured away.

“Today I am HIV positive, without knowing how I got it, and here you are making bold to justify using rape as a comedy.
Your actions disgust me.
Do you have a conscience at all?
How would you feel if your sister is raped?
How would you feel, if your daughter is raped?
How would you feel to have your wife raped?
How dare you justify rape into comedy?
Should I pray for you to experience it?
You have just succeeded in reawakening my pains, my fears and my disbelief.

“I feel so much depressed right now like never before.
#I wish you could see through the pains of not been able to help yourself out of danger of rape.
#I wish you could fathom the cruelty of the perpetrators in a bid to feel that moment of sex satisfaction to themselves.
#I wish you could figure out the helplessness of the victim, those solid tears, the bitter pleading that fell on deaf ears, the wish and struggle to act or gain freedom, but overwhelmingly overpowered, then you would understand that it is a perpetual pain that would never go off from victims.

“My case, my pains have refused to go, each time I had sex, I remember those actions, I remembered being held down against my wish, by 2 men while one penetrate me and another kept watch for security alert till they had turn by turn, four men against a minor. And one man would come up to make rape a fun for comedy and people preach forgiveness?

Ayam not understanding.

“#The whole scenario came playing back on my head, I could hear my tiny voice shouting for help, I could feel afresh, those grasp for breath, I could see clearly now these four men, their faces, the cigarette smokes, the odour, the way my hands were held against my will, by these four men who were bigger than me, who were supposed to protect a minor, I could remember how they lure me in pretense to buy my product, I could hear that shout of the name of my product that led me to Ekeonuwa market, I wish I never heard them calling for my product, I wish I had finished sales earlier that day. I wish the dawn never break up for that day.They betrayed an innocent trust from a minor, who saw them as potential customers.
Joyfully went to sell to them, but came out in pains and tears.
